10% life point

10% LP= 800


Does this number mean anything to you?

Premature Burial uses 800 lp as cost.

The Potion of Old Man inflicts 800 damage (only).

Royal Oppression uses 800 lp as cost.

The overpowered equip card, United We Stand add 800 attack for each monster on your field.


800 is a often used amount in ygo.

These cards uses the amount 800 due to the fact that if you are able to use Premature Burial or Royal Oppression more than 9 times, it will be creating too many advantages over your opponent.

If 3 Potion of the Old Man inflicts more than 40% of your opponent lp after activation will overpoweredfor burn deck, due the fact that if 3 cards can inflict 40%, then the opening hand card of 6 will end the game.


Understanding the difference and importance of 800 will be very crucial for you to win or control the game. Sometimes, negating every special summon your opponent make with Royal Oppression may not be wise because you will not have more than 9 chances to do so.


It may be funny or stupid to make a deck surrouding monsters with 800 attack because you will need to attack 10 times to kill your opponent while you can do it with 4 hits using 2k attack monsters.


However, let's not ignore the fact that monster with 800 attack can be resurrected easily with Limit Reverse as well as being easily searched by using Sangan. Beside Limit Reserve, there is one card that can help you resurrect your 800 attack monster easily and it is card that can help your preventing OTKs.


Let's introduce the Masterpiece of 800, BLACK GARDEN.



You can easily found out that there are massive amount of tuners with 800 attack or 1600 attack, varies from level 2 to level 4 (excluding some level 1 OCG exclusive tuner and Vayu),

and also a great number of Synchro Monster with 2400 attack (considering your are able to keep the plant token alive or able to summon 3 times in a turn).

Another good advantage this card can generate also includes the fact that there are high level monster with low attack. What do you think about synchro summoning a 8-9 monster by using a field card? Ain’t a bad idea at all right?


Assuming there is a D-hero Diabolic Guy in your grave while you normal summoning a 2 star tuner with an active Black Garden, you can synchro summoning a 8 star synchro while still keeping your Diabolic Guy effect for further usage.

What do you think about having a Morphtronic Scopen in your grave while you normal summon a Spellcaster monster with an active Black Garden? Say hi to Arcanite Mage and you should have fun with it.


Support:

The issue of combo succession do not lies in how to search this card due to the fact it is a field card that can be search with varies ways. Therefore the issue that is under consideration is reusing.


Thanks to pack Konami for introducing a field card support machine type in ANPR, search for it yourself cause I am hyper lazy to search it for you guys. ><

The Strenght of '1FOR1 card'

This post is not a review toward a card that most of you familiar: "One for One",
"1 for 1" is a group of cards that you can remove 1 of your opponent card by using a particular card.

details look at http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/1_For_1_Card

As we getting better in the game,
we look at the cost while removing opponent card.
It is better to use 1 card to get rid as much cards as possible.
That is the reason for not Heavy Storm-ing your enemy when they are setting only one card,
unless its a game ending turn.

That explain why Harpie's Feather Dust and Raigeki getting ban right?
However, using 1 for 1 card create a circumstance where your opponent need to decide what card to chain. In other word, they are in pressure because a bad decision will kill them.

The cost of negating usually are higher than activation,
this difference become even clearer when a counter deck vs a 1for1 deck.
As Solemn Judgment is limited to 1, many people use Starlight Road, My Body as Shield, Dark Bribe as the set of cards to protect their monsters and S/T.

The cost become even deadly when they use it to negate 1for1 card because both side will use out 1 card, but LP difference is your advantage.

sample of 1for1 cards:
Yomi Ship
Lyla (consider as 1for1 cause it is unlikely to survive after using its effect)
Breaker the Magical Warrior (more than 1for1 as you are wont be sacrificing the monster)
D.D Warrior Lady
Yomi Ship

Ground Smash
Fissure
MST

Bottomless Trap Hole
Trap hole
Dust Tornado
Dimensional Prison

These cards will definately stop Starlight Road from activating.
It may as well say bye to Dimension Eatos deck.
