Click whichever country you are from and start reading.

*This needs a new card*

Spoiler:
 
A-hahaha, yes, of course this comes now it's unbanned...which still makes no sense to me. I mean, it's an OTK all in its own, for goodness sake, ESPECIALLY now that Ring of Defense is in English...
 
Nah no one will bother to try to combo Ring of Def or Barrel Behind the Door with this card anymore, cause mask is down to one and it's too unreliable when you can get the Ring of Destruction back. Those cards are pretty bad cards if the key combo card (RoD) isn't ready.

Funny thing is, everyone is using it to blow stuff up. Everyone got Cyber Dragons. Now, lemme calculate... 2100 each blow, and there's two rings in a match, so that's 4200 gone right there? Oh, aggro/burn/fast stuff ftw this format... just what kind of aggressive deck, and which one. Maybe all this fear of 4200 LP gone right there is yet another reason why Momonga makes a dramatic comeback.
 
(Didn't I post before? Oh well.)

Well, I still use Barrel...side decked while Ring was banned, of course, but still there...mostly to counter Cylinder and various other cards. But now Ring's back, that OTK can take over again (goes particularly well with Cyber Stein).
 
"The usefulness of 'Forced Back' is directly porportional to people's uncertainty of the metagame as they start throwing monarchs in every direction they see."
~Me

In an era where non-usable resources in the hand is not a resource at all, it maybe best to not allow the enemy to summon anything to begin with, instead of only focusing on monster removal... I think Zaikiro got the point when he failed to push me over the edge when I drew no monsters for 10 turns, and is continously delaying my reaper's death by constantly denying zaborg's tribute summon over, and over again~ ^_^

I think that's part of the idea behind Don Zaloog's popularity...BUT, allowing your opponent to summon a monster that you can immediately destroy is sometimes more useful than getting rid of it in your opponent's hand just so they can bring it back and throw something WORSE at you...
 
Then again, all of the top 8 got a monarch somewhere, namely zaborg... It's amazing how Forced Back can be more than just field -1 (and field -1 is a big thing now), but a -1 as well for sacrificing a monster for nothing. Yes you can say how sometimes might as well bottomless the monster, but then monarch effect goes through the standard traps so it's even out, but forced back can even (temporaily) stop the monarch effect too.

Cimeratech food. Nuff said.
 
It's just general machine support, and finally another option for UFO Turtle *cough*that's also machine*cough* to pull out besides Solar Flare Dragon.

However, it still feels like Dekoichi is the preferred choice compare to Cyber Phoenix for some reason. One draws by flipping, the other draws by being destroyed. Both of them don't get to draw against monster destruction. Dark type no longer matters. The only plus for Dekoichi is perhaps the ability to be set yet get the draw off, at the cost of 600 defense though...

1600 def can basically withstand any common 4 star monsters except Breaker with counter and D. D. Assailant. Also, I always thought that the ability to withstand Hydroggedon is rather *very* important for this era.

Cyber Phoenix > Dekoichi
 
...Well, it isn't just a drawing engine, but also works as a powered-up Lord of M. With Chimeratech sitting there with your opponent's Magic Cylinder ready to kill you this thing comes in for the save. Lets see what else it can negate:

Enemy Controller
Brain Control
Ring of Destruction
Book of Moon
Call of the Haunted (destruction part)
Premature Burial (destruction part)

And a whole other bunch of miscellaneous cards. It works rather well, but its 1200 ATK can easily backfire on you.
 
Sadly, the chances are that those very chainable spells or traps will target Game Overdragon and destroy/do-something-bad to it very quickly when it is special summoned before you can get Cyber Phoenix on to the field to protect it, unless it's the Magic Cylinder or Sakuretsu, of course...

Still a must have for Game Overdragon deck though. Its searchability by UFO Turtle is a great fuel for machines into the graveyard.
 
I had 4 TP4 of thse at one point

at the same time may i add

<3 Morphing Jar...

He PWNs in Dark World like ubber

Also backfires like ubber if played against DW.

Still a sweet card, though, and usually brilliant topdeck.
 
The fact that it refills and save your butt when you're topdecking earns a place in a sidedeck, in my opinion. However, keep far away from maindeck just because of Dark World, not only because of its rise in usage, but also the next deck got even more powerful Dark World support to fuel the hype.

Ironically enough, all the Dark World support cards besides Dark World Lightning backfires if it's played against another Dark World deck. I always find that amusing...

Wait, "next deck"? You mena ANOTHER Structure Deck? Hmm...

...What about Dark Deal & Graceful Charity?
 
It shall be the only way Monarchs will ever have something to tribute very soon... With gadgets out, you need to have a way to ensure that a monster is out there for the tribute. Recruiters need to be destroyed in battle, which the Gadgets will never bother with. Apprentice Magician's facedown special summon will be one of the best way to protect your monsters from the millions of traps and spell cards.

Really, Monarchs resort to this over other tribute fodders for good reason...

Something that needs to be brought up.
 
"Let's wait for the next structure deck"

Really o_O; Damage output is horrible for a 5 star, just because we also have another LIGHT 5 star called Cyber Dragon that requires basically no effort for a special summon and 2100 damage. Pierce with 1900 that draws a card is very powerful, but probably only enough to use it once to break even the card advantage (unless treeborn frog is used for tribute) before Airknight is nuked. That is also assuming that a trap card won't blow it up on its first attempt to attack. Royal Decree is probably going to be a lot more common as long as Gadget hype keeps up with Chain Strike by its side, so Airknight should be able ot break even.

However, this will all be cured when Shining Nova is made available in the LIGHT structure deck. Calling Nova is your standard searcher for 1500 and lower monster, BUT it can also search for Airknight Parshath directly as an exceptional case! It'll be a huge boost to fairy decks and promo Airknight Parshath definitely.
