In addition to a normal attack' date=' this card can attack during the same Battle Phase as many times as the number of Equip Cards equipped to it.[/quote']

 

I don't know if this card is used competitively, but it seems like a fun card. I made a deck based around him; I haven't tested it though. Seems like a fun card in a deck based around him and/or equip spells.

 

Discuss.

 

Sorry if a thread about this card has been made recently.[/align]

In the case none of you know, Ben Kei is a once existing histrorical being. In Japan, once there were 2 armies of Samurai, the Heike and Genji. While the Genji Leader Yoritomo, with the help of his younger brother Yosistune, killed off the Heike, Ben Kei was a Samurai who worked beneath Yositsune. However, later on Yoritomo, seeing Yositsune as someone who may betray him, send spies across Japan to assassinate him. While Yositsune is running away from the spies, Ben Kei helpes Yositsune by fighting and using his wits to get him away. However, during one particular fight in which Yositsune was betrayed by someone he trusted, he was cornered. During this fight Ben Kei was shot by arrows all across his body, but it is said he didn't die until the battle ended. (Whether this is a real story or a myth based on his bulky body it is not known. ) Yositsune died during this battle, and so started the long reign of Yoritomo...

 

The reason Ben Kei is armed so much is because of another story (this time true) that before he was recruited, he killed all Samurai in his way and stole their weapons. By the time he was hired by the Genji, he had more than 1000 weapons. Wait, 1000 Equip Spell Cards!?

 

 

Anyways, this card is, easily said, something that can be fun to play. However it is far from splashable, and in order to use it in a good way you must build his own deck...

In a Ben Kei deck' date=' how often do you have more than just Ben Kei on the field?

On WC09, I was able to get Ben-Kei out (of course), Marauding Captain, and Freed the Matchless General. That's the most I got on the field at once. You may be able to get more monsters on the field though.
