Art wise' date=' Tricky is awesome.

Card wise, I think Cydra is better, but I normally run Tricky instead for some reason....

Run Ramen instead, or Fiend's Sanctuary, depending on your needs.

 

The level versatility and higher advantage gains far outweigh Tricky's ability to attack.

 

I mean, if you're going to use Tricky to attack, you might as well use Gene-Warped Warwolf.

 

If you're going to use Tricky to discard, you might as well PWWB or Snipe Hunter or Lightning Vortex, even.

 

Unless your deck is somehow based precisely on Spellcaster-Type/WIND/Level 5 monsters, there is no reason to run this at all.

Ehh I like it more than instant fusion for the fact that you don't have to waste slots in your extra deck for pathetic fusions..

 

If your smart you would know how to set up your Extra Deck properly to manage such an issue of space. The Tricky is a -1. Instant Fusion, Vice Dragon, Cyber Dragon, Spell Striker and Fiend Sanctuary are not. At the cost of attacking, Instant Fusion gives you more level control with the Synchros you bring out. Cyber Dragon although being Limited is still a nice beatstick and can run over any commonly used Level 4 or lower monster and overall almost any Level 4 or lower monster. Vice Dragon is rather versatile when you take into account Skill Drain, Crush Card Virus and Deck Devastation Virus. Fiend Sanctuary is only useful as tribute Fodder but it is not a -1. Spell Striker is useful as Tribute Fodder with the added advantage of being searchable. If you want a quick attacker, use Blackwing - Sirrocco the Dawn or Gene-Warped War Wolf. They're not -1s and have 2000 ATK.

 

Do you see how outclassed Tricky is now? Granted Tricky did have a rather fun Deck last format in the form of a TeleDAD-esque Deck it is still just way outclassed.

^for some reason I thought both stats were 2000, still if your tricky was going to be destroyed by battle, this coul be sort of like a scapegoat, only more fail than goat (scapeFail?)

could help with synchro still since there are more Lv.5's totake out, increasing survival rate, trying o make those cards sound good is hard, and what happened to spells 1,2,&3?

Cyber Dragon > The Tricky

But Tricky can be summoned also if you have monsters and you can have up to 3 of them..

I used to buy a lot of TDSG and it never appeared..........i think i have an terrible luck

 

Heh. I've spent about $120 on 30 duelist gen packs, and i have only ever got one tricky. also, on youtube openings, i NEVER see anyone pull the tricky :P its an uncommon normal rare >_<

 

 

Also, Sirocco is the same as Big Piece Golem. But honestly, I wouldn't wait for those conditions to normal summon it, it would be better just to get out a nice 2000 attack Gene-Warped.

 

As for using the Tricky for attacking, remember that it is special summoned. You can summon another 4 star and attack with heaps.

 

Yeah, of course its not better than CyDra :P wasn't thinking about the title too much, lolz. Will change it now.

 

Thanks for all the comments/suggestions!

My argument is against Instant Fusion not the others.. and basically you just argued that The Tricky can do what all those other great cards can do.. and to me that makes it VERY versatile

Uh no. You have to realize that card advantage also matters. The Tricky is a -1 and that means you end up spending 3 cards on a Synchro Summon instead of 2, you spend 2 cards to summon a Monarch when you can spend 1 and for a beatstick, you discard when you don't have to. The only place The Tricky actually worked well was a TeleDAD-esque Deck called Tricky Turbo. It involved dumping Malicious to the grave and double Teleporting 2 Psychics (1 Krebons and 1 Psychic Commander) which translated into 2 Level 8 Synchros and it didnt stop there. There was still another Malicious that could be used as Synchro fodder. Since TeleDAD got torn to pieces by the Ban List, Tricky Turbo is more dead than TeleDAD.

I realize what Tricky Turbo is and now I know you do since you have mentioned it in EVERY post towards me.. I think The Tricky leaves you with more options than Instant Fusion.. That is my argument.. Not is The Tricky's cost better than PWWB, Not if the SS effect is better than Cyber Dragon. I am saying that The Tricky has more options than Instant Fusion.. Instant fusion requires you to waste a slot in both your main and extra deck while The Tricky just forces a spot out of your main deck.. now I do realize how the discard cost is a drawback many people including myself run cards that activate in the graveyard so it's effect is ok as long as you aren't retarded and do something like.. (EXAMPLE!!) discard Honest or Necro Gardna..

I think Former Moderator are cooler ^_^

 

don't a be a suck up.

 

 

I play the tricky for one reason and reason only, Acranite magician, and even the tricky is being phased out of my deck as I actually get the better cards.

 

still, it is a useful card if you can make use of the discard.
