Card Tips:Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning
Revision as of 02:46, 1 September 2012 by 75.82.115.180 (talk)
- Discard "Thunder Dragon" to get Light Monster into the Graveyard. You will also gain 2 cards in hand.
- Use "Foolish Burial" to get LIGHT or DARK monsters into the Graveyard.
- As a Warrior-type LIGHT monster, this card can be recycled with "Beckoning Light" and "The Warrior Returning Alive".
- Use "Foolish Burial", "Card Trooper", "Magical Merchant" and similar cards to send it to the Graveyard and retrieve it easily from there.
- Use "Honest" when attacking your opponent's first and most powerful Monster, then use the boosted ATK to crush your opponent's life points.
- "Armageddon Knight" works with this card.
- Fairly easy cards to dump to the grave such as "D.D. Crow" or "Kuriboh" and "Effect Veiler" or "Hanewata" can be used to help summon this quickly.
- Equip "Armory Arm" to this card to inflict damage every time this card destroys a monster and raise its attack to 4000. If your opponent controls an Attack Position monster that hasn't modified its original ATK, destroying it in battle will always cause 4000 damage (difference in ATK + "Armory Arm"'s damage). If your opponent controls 2 (or more) Attack Position monsters that fit this condition OR controls only 1 Attack Position monster (so your second attack can be a Direct Attack), the ability to attacking twice of this card can perform an OTK.
- "Magical Merchant" with "Tsukuyomi" Lock and "Pot of Avarice" also makes it easy to dump Light and Dark into the Graveyard.
Traditional Format
- Use "Painful Choice" to send DARK and LIGHT Attribute monsters to the Graveyard to make the summoning of this monster easier.
- After using its first effect of removing a Monster, activate "Metamorphosis" to turn this card into "Cyber Twin Dragon", "Gatling Dragon", etc.
