Card Tips:Backs to the Wall
- With Backs to the Wall, you can use Last Turn much earlier. The only requirement is 1 Six Samurai that you already don't control.
- Combine this card with Reversal Quiz (and cards that support it) and your opponent will be left with 100 Life Points. Even better, if you have Sangan on the field when you activate Reversal Quiz, you can use it to add a Solar Flare Dragon to your hand and summon it to finish off your opponent. If you flip over Big Eye and then use Reversal Quiz you'll know what your next card is. You can also set Black Pendant before you activate Reversal Quiz. If your life points switch, Black Pendant's effect will activate and you'll win the duel.
- By combining this card with Self-Destruct Button, you can get a quick draw.
- If you use The A. Forces with this card your summoned Samurai will gain up to 1000 ATK, each! This is very good for turning the tide against the opponent.
- Try to have The A. Forces on your field. Then activate Backs to the Wall, by doing this, you will get five Six Samurais, but four of the five summoned samurais must be of FIRE, WATER, WIND and EARTH attributes. Then activate Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan to destroy all your opponent's monsters or spell and trap cards (depending on the situation). After that, activate the effects you need of the samurais to clean your opponent's side of the field for multiple direct attacks for an OTK!.
- To somewhat alleviate the high cost of Backs to the Wall, you can use The Spell Absorbing Life. Since you should have 5 Effect Monsters on your side of the field, you will gain 2000 life points at the minimum, plus 400 for every Effect Monster your opponent controls as well. As a bonus Flip Effects are also not activated.
- To somewhat alleviate the high cost of Backs to the Wall, you can use Destruct Potion to tribute 1 of your summoned Samurai to gain lifepoints equal to its ATK. By having Gateway of the Six on the field when you activate Backs to the Wall, you can raise the ATK of one of the summoned Samurai, and then tribute it with Destruct Potion to gain even more life points.
- You can combine this card with Six Samurai United to instantly gain up to 5 Bushido Counters, thereby allowing you up to 5 extra cards from your Deck along with any you've Summoned to your field.
Defensive - Rainbow Life: Use Rainbow Life to discard a Six Samurai from your hand, then use backs to the wall to bring it and some other Samurai back, resulting in you gaining a big chunk of life and having a swarmed field.
Either - Ceasefire: Use Backs to the Wall to swarm your field with Samurai. If you had five in your grave, you instantly deal a whopping 2500 damage.
- Use this card with 3 Life Absorbing Machines to have a huge life point gain on your next turn (More specifically, you will gain 150% more Life Points than you paid.)
