Shaco Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 OHHHH, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your Jinzo just attacked my Hyrdogeddon!! If only I could use Traps I'd activate Sakuretsu armor, but no, it seems as though my dinosaur is destined for the grave... But wait, what's this I have face-down? SHRINK!!! So sorry Jinzo, it seems as though you're no longer powerful enough to take down my Hyrdogeddon! And wait a minute, because your jinzo was destroyed by my hydro... I get to summon ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!! Looks like I've got the advantage, too bad for you!!! This is one of the many situations where Shrink completely owns the duel. I was looking around and found 2 wonderful articles on this beautiful card, take a look and post your opinion http://4kids.tv/forum/showthread.php?t=373727 http://www.metagame.com/yugioh.aspx?tabid=33&ArticleId=8331 http://www.pojo.com/Yu-gi-oh/garage/peanut/2007/3-16.shtml http://www.pojo.com/yu-gi-oh/FeaturedWriters/turkeyspit/2007/4-6.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORUS Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 yeah, shrink is definitely really good. like, super awesome good. definitely works against Jinzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Jinzo, yes. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Combining Shrink with previously weak monsters with really good effects, like Hyrdogeddon or Don Zaloog, can be a game winning strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Also I added this site up there I just wanted to re-post it in case anyone ignored it. This gives the specific rules as to when this card can be activated. Also, it gives a good description of the Battle Phase. http://www.pojo.com/yu-gi-oh/FeaturedWriters/turkeyspit/2007/4-6.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Indeed its an awsome card. Hey did you hear about the alternate version of shrink that some body won in a tournemt? Its a one of a kind card.The kid put it his deck box left it on a table and somone stole it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Oh, that sucks big time. How many copies of Shrink do you people have. I have 4, 3 are in my Spellcaster deck, 1 is in my Main Deck. I'm thinking of trading for another copy so I can have 2 in my main deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slime Lord Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 wow, if shrink can beat cards like jinzo that easily, i should get one :D !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yep, it cuts the Attack of a monster in half like that! but the best part is, you can attack an opponents stronger monster, you're opponent will think you're crazy, but you don't activate Shrink until the Damage Step so your opponent can't counter with anything like Sakuretsu Armor or Mirror Force. But remember your opponent can still activate Sakuretsu armor when you declare the attack, but if your opponent doesn't activate anything until you enter the damage step, Shrink is Okay to use.

Danilus Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 This seems like an awsome card I thin I shall have to purchase a few of them for my deck, nice informative links Shaco! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thanks! In my opinion, Shrink is one of the best cards in the game right now. Besides the great effect of cutting a monsters attack in half, the fact that it can be used during the damage step, after missing your opponents chance to activate Sakuretsu or Mirror, is GREAT!!!!!!!!! Also, it just occurred to me that this topic might be better suited for the TCG Topic, so if anyone wants to move it, it's okay with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORUS Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 my brother had one, but he traded it for Five God Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'd take the Shrink over the Dragon, unless your bro had a specific strategy that he was working on. NEW IDEA!!! Can anyone think of any other cards that are weaker but receive great effects when they do damage or destroy a monster. I've already posted that idea about Fenrir, but I wanna see what the good people of YCMaker can come up with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotalObelisk Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I know an even eviler one, my friend pulled this on me. Ancient Gear Golem, Megamorph, Limeter Removal and Micro ray, he could have killed me with full life points, and I was about to play my ultra killer combo too T_T. (This isn't the reason for my grudge on Ancient Gears, I just don't like machines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Whoa, that's a pretty nice combo there. Hmmm, do we have a combo section yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotalObelisk Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I did make a topic where you post combos and the next person posts how they'd block it and then post their own, but it died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaco Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Masked Sorcerer + Shrink It only works against monsters with less than 1800 Atk if it is in Attack Position, but if it is in defense you can draw cards when a monster with less than 2800 attacks it.

Shaco Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Wanted to rekindle the fire of this topic. I thought of some more monsters that can benefit from Shrink: Airknight Parshath - DRAW CARDS!!!Neo-Parshath, the Sky Paladin - DRAW MORE CARDS!!!GoeGoe the Chivalrous Ninja - DISCARD YOUR OPPONENTS CARDS!!!Mefist the Infernal General - DISCARD YOUR OPPONENT'S CARDS!!!Brron, Mad King of the Dark World - GET OUT SOME DARKWORLD MONSTERS!!!All of the Dark Scorpion cards - A VARIETY OF EFFECTS!!! LOOK EM UP!!!Doom Dozer - ... although it's pretty strong on its own...Hino-Kagu-tsuchi - DISCARD TONS OF CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!Vampire Lord and Lady - DISCARD FROM OPPONENT'S DECK!!!!Yamata Dragon - DRAW TONS OF CARDS!!!!!Some E-Hero Fusions - A VARIETY OF EFFECTS!!! you probably already know them though... Whew, that's tons of cards... anyways... Which one do you think is better Shrink OR Rush Recklessly THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SECOND!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slime Lord Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 shrink can most likely be better. so shrink i still think Ancient Gear Golem+Megamorph+Limiter Removal+Micro ray but with a shrink and a rush recklessly and a mask of weakness would be cool... wait thats 6 magic/trap cards. dang it :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkguy00000 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Shrink works wonders in a dedicated Dark Scorpion deck. I run 3 in my deck on BYOND. It's moiderous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hmmmm, I should duel that deck sometime. Also, any card that has the effect "When this card destroys a monster as a result of battle" works great with Shrink. I can't think of any really off the top of my head.

darkguy00000 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Flame Wingman. Due to a loophole in his text, your opponent is actually inflicted with the full original attack of the monster. So: Mobius attacks Flame WingmanChain Shrink on MobiusMobius' attack is now 1200Your opponent takes 900 damage from the battle.Your opponent then takes 2400 damage from Wingmans' effect. At least I think that's how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaco Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Yeah. Although Shrink halves the Original Attack, that's just the basis for the value that is removed, it doesn't physically change the card to have halve the Atk, it just reduces half that monsters original Atk.
