this is like a yugioh article to master shapesnatch,

[spoiler=long article]Shapesnatch, although you may not have heard of it, is one of the best cards in todays meta. A well build Shapesnatch deck can tear apart DAD and Gladiator Beasts as though they were nothing! Here is what the almighty Shapesnatch does:

 

Shapesnatch

Dark

Machine

Level 5

ATK:1200

DEF:1700

Normal Monster

Flavor Text:

A bow tie with horrible power, it attacks an opponent by controlling others.

Now, you may be thinking, why is this card so good? But there are endless possibilities with the power of this card! It's amazingly versatile and should be maindecked in 3's in every deck from now on. Heres some of the reviews it's had:

 

Shapesnatch is the BEST card in the game. Hands down. No “Ifs", “Ands”, or “Buts” about it. Just read the card text…”A bow tie with HORRIBLE power. It attacks an opponent by controlling others.” I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of an attack from this monster. Do you know how many people use this card at SJCs? Thousands.
Nothing really to say about this card. If you are good at Yugimonz, then you know how much this deck pwnz. If you don't maindeck 3 copies of them, then you phail at this game.
Shapesnatch, simply put is amazing. The only real thing that brings down the card is that it requires a tribute. However, there are ways around that.

 

Cost Down makes it a 3 star monster, you could use Premature Burial or Call of the Haunted to Special Summon it from your Graveyard. Plus, it's Dark, so it can feed CED or BLS in Traditional.

 

1200 attack is good and 1700 defense will stop a lot. Honestly, who is going to fear a card that states "a bow tie with HORRIBLE power." Play this or lose, it is that simple folks.

If those reviews haven't changed your mind on this card, then maybe some of these mind blowing combos will!

 

ADVANCED FORMAT

 

You can search out Shapesnatch with Mystic Tomato straight to the field!

You can Limiter Removal Shapesnatch to make it on par with a Monarch, or Jinzo!

You can search it out with Summoners Art and special summon it with Ancient Rules!

You can equip it with Shooting Star Bow - Ceal, and then Machine Duplication it!

You can use him as a five star monster for Advanced Ritual Art!

He has a broken OTK, Shapesnatch+Ceal+Trice+Scapegoat+United we stand+Limiter Removal

He can't be affected by Pulling The Rug like all those monarchs!

He can even negate Exodias instant victory!

He can be searched straight to the field by the effect of Chaos-End Master! (OCG Only)

If you combo him with Bite Shoes, and Sakuretsu Armour, you got yourself a nice little outfit! But make sure you use Enchanted Fitting Room first!

Shapesnatch gets under Crush Card Virus, meaning he's immune to it's destructive effects!

 

TRADITIONAL FORMAT

 

You can use him as dark fodder for the chaos monsters!

You can bring him out with Last Will!

You can Metamorphosis him into Dark Balter The Terrible!

 

Now, to put these points into practise! Onwards, to build the most broken deck in history!

 

Shapesnatch.dek!

 

To start off on the monster lineup, we need the basic monsters. I.E 3 Shapesnatch.

 

3 Shapesnatch

 

Now, on with the rest of the monster lineup.

 

To win, we obviously need to get Shapesnatch out before the other player. The fastest and most efficient way to do that is by the effect of Mystic Tomato, who can bring Shapesnatch straight to the field with its effect! Another good monster for summoning the snatch is Chaos-End Master, who when it destroys a monster by battle, can summon Shapesnatch straight from the deck!

 

3 Mystic Tomato

3 Chaos-End Master

 

And now, we have space for general good monsters that will fit the theme.

 

1 Spirit Reaper

1 Marshmallon

1 Snipe Hunter

2 Don Zaloog (Tomatoable)

1 Elemental Hero Stratos

1 Destiny Hero Disk Commander

2 Destiny Hero Malicious

1 Destiny Hero Dasher

1 Sangan

1 Destiny Hero Fear Monger

 

Now, we have 19 slots left for spells and traps that support Shapesnatch in his bid for world domination!

 

To help with the warrior side of the deck, 2 Reinforcement Of The Shapesnatch should be included to search out Don Zaloog, Chaos-End Master and the D-Heros. To help draw into the key cards, 3 Destiny Draw will be included aswell.

 

2 Reinforcment Of The Army

3 Destiny Draw

 

That leaves us with 14 spaces. I'll start throwing in some staples.

 

1 Heavy Storm

1 Brain Control

1 Mirror Force

1 Torrential Tribute

1 Crush Card Virus

1 Monster Reborn

1 Premature Burial

 

Thats half of our spaces gone, 7 slots left to help Shapesnatch on his way to an SJC victory!

 

3 Shrink

3 Enemy Controller

 

This part of the spell/trap lineup will help keep our weaker monsters alive long enough for us to get Shapesnatch out! They also work well with Chaos-End Master, and Don Zaloog.

 

And finally, a very vital part of the deck:

 

1 Limiter Removal

 

By doubling your Shapesnatchs atk, you've almost guaranteed victory!

 

Now, here is the final product:

 

Monsters: 21

3 Shapesnatch

3 Mystic Tomato

3 Chaos-End Master

1 Spirit Reaper

1 Marshmallon

1 Snipe Hunter

2 Don Zaloog

1 Elemental Hero Stratos

1 Destiny Hero Disk Commander

2 Destiny Hero Malicious

1 Destiny Hero Dasher

1 Sangan

1 Destiny Hero Fear Monger

 

Spells: 16

2 Reinforcment Of The Army

3 Destiny Draw

1 Monster Reborn

1 Premature Burial

1 Heavy Storm

1 Brain Control

3 Shrink

3 Enemy Controller

1 Limiter Removal

 

Traps: 3

1 Mirror Force

1 Torrential Tribute

1 Crush Card Virus

 

Beware - the power of this deck may consume you!

 

The aim of this deck is to get out Shapesnatch asap, and own them with it. Simple?

 

There are many different varients of the Shapesnatch deck, including the OTK, but I decided to go for a more Shapesnatch Control varient to control their game before going in for the kill. Feel free to experiment with any of your own wild Shapesnatch ideas, and if you get any good ideas feel free to post them here!

 

I hope you enjoyed reading my article,

This is copy pasta, I can tell by the illegal deck, the failure to mention Allure of Darkness, and the mention of Chaos End Master as an OCG only card.

 

I already knew that Shapesnatch was one of the best cards in the game, but you really show just how versatile it really is.

 

Also, your deck is illegal, drop a D Draw for an Allure of Darkness. ;P
