Silver Dragon Ninja (A New Art of War, To Settle The Score, That Archetype Restrictions Have Wrought...)

[Black D'Sceptyr]

For in Senior Ninja's ascent, your opponent's relent, with never be quickly forgot...

 

 

[spoiler=Silver Dragon Ninja: Info]

EARTH/Insect-Type Effect Monster/Level 9/2900 ATK/1300 DEF

 

Lore: (Quick Effect): You can reveal this card and 1 "Ninjitsu Art" Spell/Trap in your hand; activate that revealed Spell/Trap, and if you do, Special Summon this card to the field of the player who controls the lowest number of Spell/Trap Cards (your choice, if tied). If this card is Special Summoned by a "Ninjitsu Art" card: You can Special Summon 1 Level 8 or lower "Ninja" monster from your Deck in face-up or face-down Defense Position, ignoring its Summoning conditions. You can use each effect of "Silver Dragon Ninja" once per turn.

 

 

 

So, 'sides that mangling of a V for Vendetta line, how's your weekend going folks?

 

Figured I'd put money where the ol' mouth is and try to enable a bit more of the Ninja's usable gimmicks THROUGH THE POWER OF INTERPRETIVE DANCE CARDMAKING. 

 

So, there's a bit of an issue of making the Ninjitsu art cards live before, say, the opponent starts running wild on you. Transformation cards in the particular-so how about using this to splash down a Notebook on the first turn, put this on the opponent's field, and use it all on the next turn?

 

Not to mention, pulling a Ninjitsu Art of Transformation on, say, a Kagan (lol no that's Isolde/Summon Sorceress/Grandmaster Saizo fodder fella) Getsuga can get you this and another mystery Ninja of your choice to the field in prep for whatever the opponent's got cooking, like Hanzo and stuff!

 

2900 ATK means this thing can pop off on a lot of stuff, and it not requiring an empty field to activate means a lot of Ninjitsu Traps that would either A) be immediate Phoenix/Unicorn bait, B) be less of a surprise unless the opponent has something up, or C) not be feasible because its a turn too early becomes a lot liver a lot faster. Transformation is one. This bad boy is another.

 

Also did you know that Transforming a Silver Dragon Ninja can get you two Hanzos and a Kagen? Food for thought (and massive OTK potential, either or.)

 

Until the next card, folks-reviews, revelry, you know the drill.
