Card Tips:Goyo Guardian

"Goyo Guardian":

Goyo Guardian works nicely with "All-Out Attacks" or "Final Attack Orders", since you will then be able use the monster you steal with this card to Attack right away, giving you the chance to potentially devastate your opponent's Life Points.

You can quickly Summon this card by summoning "Marauding Captain" and then Special Summoning "Tune Warrior", "Junk Synchron", etc.

Use "Staunch Defender" with "Goyo Guardian" when your opponent declares an attack to a monster with a lower ATK you control. You can destroy and take control of all of the opponent's monsters without declaring an attack.

This monster's ability to take control of other monsters also comes in handy for additional Synchro Summons. You may want to use cards like "Revival Gift" to get back your Tuner in the Graveyard to do this.

Use "Jutte Fighter" to change a monster to it's weaker position. Then use it to Synchro Summon "Goyo Guardian" and steal that monster.

Use "Creature Swap" to give your opponent a Searcher monster (such as "Sangan"), so when "Goyo Guardian" destroys it, you can activate its effect, and use "Goyo Guardian's" effect to summon your searcher to potentially use the search effect again.

Have a level 4 Monster (like "Blackwing - Bora the Spear") then after the turn you Summon it or the turn after you summoned it, Normal Summon "Junk Synchron" and then Special Summon "Torapart", then Synchro Summon "Goyo Guardian" with your 4-star, in this case "Bora" and "Torapart". Then Special Summon "Level Eater" from your Graveyard ("Goyo Guardian" level 5). Then once again, Synchro Summon "Armory Arm". Then Equip "Armory Arm" to "Goyo Guardian" (ATK/3800).

Using this card against a "Six Samurai" or "Ice Barrier" deck can let you use their effects for yourself.

"Temple of the Sun" is a good card to combo, as any monster summoned gains 300 ATK.

"Battle Mania" works on monsters with ATK lower than "Goyo Guardian", as any/all of them will be taken.

Traditional Format

You can use "Rescue Cat" to bring out a level 3 Tuner monster like "X-Saber Airbellum" and a level 3 non-tuner monster to get this card out easily without losing any advantage.
