This guy is fun to run. Stall your opponent with this card and tribute it the next turn for a Caius.. Seeing the expression on your opponents face when you play this card is priceless.. I love this card.

 

Anyway...

 

Discuss this card.

 

Can it work in Final Countdown decks?

[Zauls]

Everything "Works in Final Countdown" these days... This card is not worth running, pretty bad stall card really.

[darkwolf777]

Basically this card is "Whoever has the highest ATK increases will win the fight".

 

I don't see why you'd want to use this in Final Countdown as he isn't a barrier of any kind.

 

Generally I'd just run it down with my weakest monster whenever possible :<

 

 

Getting sidetracked, there's only one kitty too adorable to attack through, and she's not really a kitty anyway, just a neko-fied version of Youmu Konpaku:

[spoiler=If this were a fighting game, would you be able to get out of this kind of corner pressure?]

 

 

[TMD (Barushi)]

Pretty sad that you guys don't like it..

 

Oh well, I think it's good and it works for me.

 

So....

Well, as I mentioned, to become a working wall, you need an ATK boost of some sort.

 

Edit: My bad, they're beast-warriors x.o;

Make a Solidarity build with it.

[TMD (Barushi)]

Why would you need an attack boost?

 

It doesn't work if you attack your opponent.. your opponent has to attack you.. and since they don't want to risk destroying their own monster to a kitty they either end their turn or do something else to get rid of it.

 

Now...

I remember this! this was 1 of the cards in my 1st deck. its better than you think. this + any attack increase card = good.....

[Zauls]

Make a Solidarity build with it.

 

I suppose it may work, but who runs any deck based around Beast-Warriors?

[White Void]

The only thing I can think of is running things like Rush Recklessly and Reinforcements with it...and there are more effective strategies than that. It'd be amusing, yes but nowhere near effective.

Correct, but i'm more tempted to ram into it and destroy it, then to let you gain field advantage, so i'm usually tempted to just ram one of my monsters into it.

If they have equal ATK, I can still get rid of it no problem by ramming something into it. If it has an ATK boost, then I wont win by battle unless there's an equal boost to ATK, thereby actually turning it into a wall.

 

If you want to use cards that make better walls (especially ones that can remove the opponent's monster), I'd use such as Legendary Jujitsu Master or Wall of Illusion. Since its face-down, you'll be better off using either of these two since your opponent is more likely to attack the face-down Master or Wall.

[Coaster Guy]

this card actually ain't all that bad, unless your opponent has 3 or more monsters on the field.

Heart of Clear Water + Cat's Ear Tribe = lolequips

This card will be practically be invincible by battle if you give it an equip spell card that increases it's attack.

Yes but if you think that is a good combo then you really need to get some brains. Soz XD jk. Srsly though, if anyone runs this card, they have a bad deck and will not win a single duel.

Too bad it's not a Beast. Otherwise Solid Beasts could have a lulzy variation.

I predict this card will be run @ 3 in the winning deck of the next YCS.

Beast-Warriors have little support. Enraged Battle Ox, Manticore of Darkness, that centaur thing from RGBT...

Against what deck? What kind of deck were you running? If you can win games with this card, then your opponent must be the worst duelist in the world yugiohoverlord.

But if the card works for me then it's good no matter what you say. I've used it up against absolute zero decks, but yeah that's nothing. I'm still wanting to test against Blackwings and all those other big decks to see if it works against them.

 

Also...I don't even know who yugiohoverlord is.

 

Please don't knock the card until you try it out. I knocked it at first, but I saw it's potential and I used it.

[darkwolf777]

Unfortunately, I don't need to try it to know there are better options x.o

 

The only things you said this card has helped you with was A) Tribute Fodder, and B) Removal of an Opponent's monster, though you don't get both with Cat's Ear Tribe, only one or the other, though Legendary Jujitsu Master has a better chance at becoming both. Most players wont even consider wishy washy chances, and know what they want in their deck and choose: I want either definite monster destruction/removal, or I want definite tribute fodder for next turn (well as high a chance as possible anyway~), which there are better cards at doing both of these things on their own, and better cards at doing either option at the same time better than Cat's Ear Tribe.

 

With Cat's Ear Tribe:

1) There are no surprises. A player knows what he's getting into that turn.

2) An opponent can still attack and sacrifice a monster willingly to destroy it and continue his onslaught. As mentioned myself, It might be better to destroy their field presence while you can then let it be used for something big the next turn.

Anyone can just use an effect to destroy it, but is it worth using such a useful effect on something you can destroy by battle with a sacrifice and keep that destruction card for bigger fish later?

3) Without an ATK boost or other effect to prevent it from being defeated by battle, It'll be destroyed by whatever is attacking it for sure, making it an unreliable wall. Some people will allow sacrifices to be made since a -1 for them and a -1 for you is still an even 0. Most people wont waste a card's destruction effect on Cat's Ear Tribe to get rid of it, where it might just be easier and cheaper to plow a weak monster into it (or one who has already used its effect, or something that could gain its effect when destroyed by battle, lolColossalFighter).

 

Let's try Legendary Jujitsu Master:

 

1) Chances are you'll play this in face-down Defense Position. An opponent will not only not know what it is, but will even more likely attack it without hesitation

2) No matter what, if the Master lives or not, the monster that attacked it is returned to the top of the Deck, not only removing field presence but slowing their game by placing a card they already had out back to the top of the deck.

3) Since it does have 1800 DEF, there's a chance that it can survive your average Normal Summoned monster (Yugioh has been more about effects than raw ATK, so most level 4 or lower monsters will only have 1800 or less ATK to compensate for good effects, though there are several examples of high ATK and useful effects for some level 4s.). Therefore, it may have more than one use, than something like Cat's Ear Tribe.

 

The only thing that Cat's Ear Tribe may have over Jujitsu Master is that your opponent might overthink how they should handle Cat's Ear Tribe, and perform a poor action. "Should I sacrifice a monster to kill it? Should I use an effect? Should I just let it sit there until i'm better prepared?". Some questions like this might go through your opponent's mind and some weaker guys might be confused on what to do >_> It may depend on the situation, though I think just ramming it with one of your monsters is the simplest way to get it out of the way and not let it become that Caius or any other larger problem you may have ready to go if it lives.

Wha-?

Look, there are over 4000 cards in this game. Anything can be used with something. You just gotta be creative, but people don't exactly seem to care about that aspect of the game anymore.

Exactly. People here lack creativity. (only some here are creative) They go for those decks that people use in tournaments or what ever the hell they are and find them online and netdeck them.

 

I'm not saying netdecking is bad, but jeez would it kill some of you to be a little bit more creative?
