Card Review: Fortune Slip

Right after a long wait, finally a card review! Lets not slow this down and get on with it! Today's card review will be on a card from the latest booster pack "Ancient Prophecy"! The card we are reviewing today is [Fortune Slip]!



ANPR-JP069
[フォーチュン・スリップ]
[Fortune Slip]
Normal Trap
Activate only when your opponent declares an attack with a monster, negate that attack and remove the attack target of that monster away from the game till the standby phase of your next turn.

Right reading from the text, although this card protects your monster from your opponent's attacks, it doesn't destroy the attacking monster and removes your own monster away from the game too! So how does this actually help you turn the tables around if you are up against a high powered and irritating monster that your opponent is controlling?

So here goes, how about letting [Fortune Slip] remove some kind of monsters that has an effect while being removed away from the game? Or when leaving the field too! Monster cards like [Fortune Lady Lighty] and [E-HERO Absolute Zero] has a effect that is to be activated when they leave the field. [Fortune Lady Lighty] has an effect to special summon another [Fortune Lady] when it leaves the field and as for [E-HERO Absolute Zero], an absolute destruction to your opponent's monsters can be assured when it leaves the field.

Or how about powering up monsters that has been powered down by their effects? Using this card to remove away from the game a 1900 attack strength [God Beast King Babaros] will return it back to the field during the end phase to its normal 3000 attack strength! Or... How about using [Fortune Slip] on a 800 attack strength [Light And Darkness Dragon]? You will be able to use its negating effect again once it has returned to your side of the field with a full 2800 attack strength!

There can also be a very very lame or funny combo to be done with [Fortune Slip]! Here goes nothing!

Step 1: Your opponent has 2 monsters, one of them focus its attack on your [Necro Gardna]

Step 2: Activate [Fortune Slip] and remove your [Necro Gardna] away from the game!

Step 3: Your opponent's second monster declares an attack!

Step 4: Activate [Burial From A Different Dimension] and return [Necro Gardna] to the graveyard!

Step 5: Remove [Necro Gardna] away from the graveyard and block that attack =/...

Now from the above, you can also see that [Burial From A Different Dimension] can also be a threat against your monster that has been removed away from the game by [Fortune Slip]. Returning your [God Beast King Babaros] or even [Light And Darkness Dragon] and not allowing it to return to the field can be a very big loss. So do watch out for it!

Well thats all for today's card review! Will be doing another one on time next week! Gotacha! Goulian Signing off~!

Deck Review: Revived! Kuriboh Emperors!

Right yes I know I know, it has been 10 days! Since I last said that I would want to update this blog =X, and I haven't had much time these days so.... Oh well! Lets forget about that and concentrate on this newly formed deck of mine! Today's deck review will be on the return of one of my best decks during the era where there was [Graceful Charity] and [Magician of Faith]... Oh how I missed them! But hey! This deck has been improved because of the latest cards also! Here goes nothing! Presenting the [Kuriboh Emperors] deck!

1x Mental Master
2x Clevonce
1x Psychic Commander

Well above is the decklist for the [Kuriboh Emperors]! Its been awhile since I last had a new deck idea in my mind. Till then which I thought that there were extremely no draw power for this deck until... The card [Allure of Darkness] came to my mind! The combo of activating [Kuriboh Calling Flute] to add a [Kuriboh] to your hand and then using it as a bait for [Allure Of Darkness] seems tempting! So I decided to try it out! Who knows it does work well! However inconsistency does happens in this deck, because there is no level 4 monsters! Its either your monsters are way to big to summon, or way to small to fight against your opponent's monsters.

The common combo for this deck would be first to activate [Kuriboh Calling Flute] to summon out either [Hane Kuriboh] or [Kuriboh] and release them for a advance summon of a [Emperor] monster! However which ever [Hane Kuriboh] or [Kuriboh] you choose is important, because they can also be bait for 2 of the more powerful cards such as [Chaos Sorcerer] and [Dark Armed Dragon].

Since the appearance of the Psychic-Type monsters and also [Emergency Teleport]. Advance summoning and Synchro summoning has became a sinch until [Emergency Teleport] was restricted to a copy per deck! Well it still helps in these 2 ways in this deck. For quick Advance Summoning wise and as for Synchro Summoning wise, we have quite alot of level 6 monsters, which combines with [Clevonce] for level 8 Synchro monsters. Or if all fails, you can always Synchro a level 1 [Kuriboh]/[Hane Kuriboh] with [Psycho Commander] for [Arms Aid]! [Mental Master] helps in tuning with the level 6 [Emperors] for [Dark Dive Bomber] and [Black Rose Dragon]! [Cyber Dragon] is also in the deck for either a versatile level 5 or for the advance summoning of higher level monsters.

Anyways, I've tried this deck against [Lightlords] and [Black Feathers], hadn't had a chance to test it against the famous [AKB] deck because Baha was too lazy to form it back for me to try against! Anyways it was not a very good result against [Black Feathers]. Seems like this deck doesn't have the extra speed to face off again them yet. More tuning will be required!

However when faced off against [Lightlords], speed for this deck ain't really a problem. The defenses of this deck suppresses the [Judgement Dragon]'s ability to keep blowing the field up! Try blowing a set card which is actually a chain-able [Kuriboh Calling Flute] and see what happens! It actually gives us a chance to shield ourselves with [Hane Kuriboh]! Trap cards such as [Waboku] is also quite a card to safeguard against [Lightlords] as well. Works as well as a [Kuriboh Calling Flute] =X... What Baha said about this deck facing [Lightlords] was... "Colin, I think before you even can win them properly, they would have already decked out!" LOL! True might be a slow victory, but if it secures you a win. Why not? =D

I will continue to test against other kinds of deck to see how well will this deck fare against them. And I will continue to tune this deck to its highest limits too! So in the meantime, any ideas from you readers out there will be greatly appreciated! Oh my, its 1.30am in the morning! Time to go! Cya people!

Yawn, New update on its way!

New update soon I swear! Just can't wait to test my current deck against AKB and Rescue Syncro! Once tested, I will post up my decklist for it =D.
