Penguin Knight
I've been playing the Yugioh GBA game on my tablet and I've learned a little more about the rules of yugioh , and while I still can't help but think of this as a TCG that was designed with a ... limited at best understanding of the concept of balance and card usability ( So many utterly useless cards ) ... I have comments as an MTG player : I wonder if penguin knight basically invalidates mill ( Discarding opponents deck to 0 to win ) as a strategy in yugioh or if there's a counter to it ? I guess if you can make them draw penguin knight instead of discarding it ? That would be pretty hard depending on how prevalent mill is in the metagame. As an MTG player it seemed immediately apparent that mill would be a great strategy as the decks are only 40 cards and you've got things like Needle Worm, morph jar, Grave keepers servant, magic thorn. It seems really easy to play " lockdown " style with Swords and then using Trunade to recall the swords again and stretch them for 5 turns, there are a lot of cards that would read as a lockdown strategy in MTG other than swords such as Messenger of Peace, Chain Energy, and Toll. There's a disproportionate ( to mtg players ) amount of board wipes, too . Lockdown and mill would SEEM like a viable strategy, but penguin knight totally fucks up mill. So what the heck ?
