Card Review : Pedigree Of The Destruction God

Hey guys! Its time for a new card review for one of the cards inside the [Crossroad Of Chaos] booster pack! The card that I'm reviewing today is.... [Pedigree Of The Destruction God]! So sit back and enjoy reading!



CSOC-JP069
[破壊神の系譜]
[Pedigree Of The Destruction God]
Normal Trap
Activate only by selecting a face-up level 8 monster that you control during the turn that a defense position monster your opponent controls is destroyed. During this turn, the selected monster is able to attack twice in the Battle Phase.

Okay this trap looks abit hard to use huh? Being have to select only a level 8 monster and also when your opponent's defense position monster is destroyed, will then you are able to activate this trap! However certain combos are able to secure an easy usage for this card! Lets go through the various methods of using it now!

Cards that are able to combo quite well with this card will be [Shield Crush], [Tradegy] , [Red Daemon's Dragon] , [Mystic Swordsman LV 2] , [Drillroid] or just any card that has an effect to destroy defense position monsters!

Cards that are able to help the above cards start the combo are like [Enemy Controller] , [Jutte Knight], [Book Of Moon] which is able to change the mode of your opponent's monsters. Change them to defense mode for you to activate the above cards like [Shield Crush] and [Tradegy]! Do note that [Book Of Moon] will not help you in activating [Tradegy], as your opponent's Face-Up attack position monster has to be changed to Face-Up defense position in order to activate it.

Another good thing about [Pedigree Of The Destruction God] is that the opponent's defense position monster need not be sent to the graveyard after being destroyed! Which means that when you destroy opponent's defense position token-type monsters, it can be activated then. Which makes it even easier to use! Token-type monsters like [Scapegoat] tokens, [Ojama] tokens are good targets!

And some people might also be asking.

"Oh My God! We can only use it on level 8 monsters! Isn't it too restricting for us?! As level 8 monsters are quite hard to summon out!"

Well actually in these days, having to summon out a level 8 monster ain't that hard as it seems! With that much Special Summoning cards running around. You don't really need to Normal Summon your level 8 monsters! Special Summon them instead! However, certain level 8 monsters are easy to normal and special summon! [God Beast King - Barbaros] is able to be summoned without any sacrifices by halving its attack points! But its still a level 8 monster! And also by sacrificing 3 monsters to it to activate its field destruction effect, it will be able to clear away the defense position monsters on your opponent's side of the field! Thus also enabling you to use [Pedigree Of The Destruction God]!

Some bad points about this card is also that the controller has to make the first move in order to activate it! [Stardust Dragon] , [My Body As A Shield] and [Prime Material Dragon] will be able to stop the destruction effects of the cards like [Shield Crush] and [Tradegy]! So watch out for them!

Well thats the end for my review today! Look out for more reviews that will be coming soon! Till next time! Goulian Signing Off!

Edit: Found out through some serious thinking and came to a conclusion that [Pedigree Of The Destruction God] cannot be activated during damage step. As reference to the trap card [Soul Rope].

Deck Review: Wrath Of Neos MK IV

Yo people! Goulian here since the last update like for so long! >.< .... Very sorry guys as we had our school lives interfering with our dueling lives too! And oh ya! Today's post will be about my signature deck that had been upgraded till the [MK IV] version! Due to help from alot of my great friends around me! This version can be said the best version among the five versions I have. So take a look! Decklist is right below!




Deck Name: Wrath Of Neos MK IV

Decksize: 40

Monsters: 17

3x E-HERO Neos
2x E-HERO Another Neos
1x E-HERO Airman
3x E-HERO Prismer
1x E-HERO Voltech
2x Freed The Brave Wanderer
3x Honest
2x Lightlord Hunter - Raikou

3x Wrath Of Neos
3x O - Oversoul
2x E - Emergency Call
2x Reinforcement Of The Army

3x Hero Blast

1x Holy Barrier - Mirror Force

Extra Deck: 4

3x Rainbow Neos
1x E-HERO Dark Brightman

Well here goes! This deck basically makes full use of [E-HERO Prismer] effect on being able to grab hold the names of the fusion material monsters that it sends to the graveyard! And of course, what do we do with the name of the fusion material monster that [E-HERO Prismer] has got hold of? We will also be using it to our full advantage! As in my previous [Shining Dragoon] decklist. I had [E-HERO Prismer] copy the name of [Blue Eyes White Dragon] in order for me to activate the magic card [Burst Stream Of Destruction]. Those that tried out the deck with me should know how powerful when a magic card like that destroys the opponent's field totally!

But in this deck, the name that [E-HERO Prismer] is going to copy is not [Blue Eyes White Dragon] but as what the deck name sounds like... The name that [E-HERO Prismer] is going to copy will be [E-HERO Neos]. Why? Well just for the sake of activating [E-HERO Neos] strongest magic card! [Wrath Of Neos] of course! It packs a total field destruction effect, and easy to use with [E-HERO Prismer] helping you.

But other than being able to use [Wrath Of Neos] easily, this deck is also able to revive [E-HERO Neos] even faster because of [E-HERO Prismer] effect of sending it to the graveyard. And that is what the 3 copies of [O - Oversoul] is there for! Being able to revive your [E-HERO Neos] from the graveyard to smack your opponent in the face for 2500 damage right after the aftermath of [Wrath Of Neos] effect!

And not to say even without the help of [O - Oversoul] of reviving your [E-HERO Neos] and [E-HERO Another Neos] in the graveyard. There is another card that works well with the both of them! As well as it is very compatible with [E-HERO Prismer] effect. [Hero Blast] will be that trap card's name! Being able to retrieve an Normal [E-HERO] monster in your graveyard to destroy a face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field whose attack is equal or lower than the card you've retrieved is no small joke! Though the highest attack monster that you can possibly destroy will be at the max of 2500 attack points... =(.. (Sometimes I wonder why couldn't Konami make [E-HERO Neos] a 3000 attack monster?! Ignore this as I'm only joking!)

And what do you do when you have a [E-HERO Neos] stuck in your hand? A good way would be to actually use it for the card [Commoner's Charity] as what this deck lacks sometimes is draw power! Though the draw speed is slow, but at least its also quite compatible with a special [E-HERO] inside this deck too! [E-HERO Voltech] totally revives the removed away from game [E-HERO Neos] that was being used by [Commoner's Charity]! Another card to be combo with [E-HERO Voltech] would be [Freed The Brave Wanderer]... This card can be quite a lifesaver at times when you have monsters such as [Dark Armed Dragon] that your [Hero Blast] cannot kill!(That is why I said that Konami should make [E-HERO Neos] a 3000 attack monster! Joking!)

What if sometimes you do have the power to search for [E-HERO Prismer] to fill your grave with [E-HERO Neos]? And you are also stuck in a almost unable-to-turn-the-tables situation? This card might actually save your life and also help fill the grave for you! [Lightlord Hunter - Raikou] is able to destroy any card on the field and then overturn the top 3 cards of your deck to the graveyard.. Though some luck is greatly needed here to overturn monsters like [E-HERO Neos] , [E-HERO Another Neos] or just any Light Attribute monsters needed for [Freed The Brave Wanderer] to use his effect!

And since every single monster in this deck belongs to the attribute of Light.. Why not ask for the help of [Honest]? This card acts as a defensive as well as an offensive card for this deck! Needless to say what wonders it can do right? Well in my [Wrath Of Neos MK V] , the deck had the combo of [E-HERO Neos] + [Assault Armor] + [Honest] = oh my god your opponent is almost dead or already dead combo! Credits goes to Baha for showing me the video about Dian Zhang! That inspired me to search for my third copy of [Assault Armor]!

This deck is quite good on the defense as well as on the offensive. But cards like [D.D Crow] , [Kycoo The Ghost Destroyer] or even [Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo] can destroy this deck inside out! As this deck mostly relies on the cards in the graveyard and special summonings in order to perform its stunts! Well sorry for the long review about this deck! Well it IS my signature deck....*cough cough*.... Anyways! Its been a long while since I did a review that is this long! Hope you guys didn't get too tired in reading it.. =(... And I hope that the standard didn't drop =X? LOL! Well anyway to my next review! Goulian signing off!

Thoughts on M'sian Championships

Hey all! This is Goulian here! The champion from M'sian was a duelist using a [Emperor] deck as from what I heard from Yan Shen. Thanks for the info! Though I do not have the decklist =(...
Anyway from the trip to M'sia, we can see alot of duelists having alot of different ideas! Of course on alot of their different decks!

- Earth Syncro Deck:

Uses [Gigantes] to special summon itself and also to use [Jutte Knight] for syncro! Quite a nice idea!

- Dark Calling Special Version:

Now this was used by Yan Shen, and another duelist which I forgot the name >.<... Both of theirs was extremely fast! I got OTKed quite quickly by them too!

Well these are the decks that are worth looking and building too! The cards they had inside were sorta fresh ideas to me lol... And I also found out that the most feared Syncro Monster in M'sia is.... [Red Daemon Dragon]! Because they have like alot of face down defense position monsters de ar... Well okay! Till next time! Goulian signing off! And oops... New card review will be coming up!
