Card Trooper:Discussion


Recommended Posts

Hmm ill try to explain this as best as i can

 

Card trooper is good for plenty of reasons

1 it lets you mill 3 cards that mabey can hinder you from getting what you need

2 if you need cards in the grave for a effect such as DAD {useing as example} its good that way to

3 the draw one card when its destroyed can save you noumerous times

The only difference between a card that sits on the bottom of your deck and never gets drawn and a card that is milled by Card Trooper is that cards milled by Card Trooper can be recursed through effects.

He's a +0 that can mill your deck for you. Might be good in some instances' date=' but not in decks that require certains cards, I.E. Manticore Exodia or Chain Gate.

My deck requires me to have a Limited card in my hand in order to win, and I still use him. >.>

 

Yes, but you have a DMoC and 1 (2)? MSE in there to get it back. I'm just using those as examples without recovery cards.

If you're using Card Trooper but can't take advantage of his mill effect, you're doing it wrong. By definition, decks running him run recursion that can use the cards that get milled. As such, he actually makes it easier to get your hands on the card you want (but of course, in Deck = Hand format, this effect is reduced slightly).

No he isn't.

You're telling me Card Trooper's milling is counter-productive with Manticore's recursion effect? You know, the one that's trigger by said milling?

Yes, and you also have Monster Reborn, LaDD, Premature Burial, D-fusion, Return, DDR, etc to get THOSE back.

I thought he was a +0. I guess his drawing effect doesn't replace him then?

 

In Manticore Exodia, you probably won't send manticore to the grave and then have him return so easily. Plus, you could also send copies of CoSR to the grave, slowing down your OTK.

And about the DMoC / MSE thing? Nice quoting out of context.

It was for Crab's REBMD deck, not supposedly counting all of the cards that could get back things milled by Trooper.

He's a +1. Trooper's destruction is not a cost.

Bottom of deck, etc.

And again, you wouldn't be running Trooper if you aren't running recursion. It's like saying Dark Armed Dragon is bad because it doesn't work in a deck without DARK monsters.

K, now I get the +1 thing, but you lost me on the bottom of the deck part. Manticore won't always be located on the bottom of the deck. Lastly, Yes, I know it's stupid to run it in a deck that can't get back the milled cards. Why do you think I said

Monsters, unlike S/T, start off +0; the draw effect puts him at +1.

 

In Manticore Exodia, you probably won't send manticore to the grave

And if you do?

It's completely within context. I even included the period. Unless, you're claiming that said punctuation does not dictate the end of sentence, concluding a complete thought, then in which case your grasp of English syntax, or lack thereof, is your undoing. But let's not argue semantics, because you're just wrong.

You're telling me he doesn't run D-fusion/Monster Reborn/Premature Burial?

Manticore has the same chance of being on the bottom of the deck (to never be drawn) as it has of being on the top of the deck (to be milled). The same goes for COSR.

 

Also, saying you shouldn't run it in a deck where you can't use it is too obvious to be worth saying.
