Hermit of The Six Samurai

Level 3. Warrior. Earth.

Effect: When you control no monsters, and your opponent controls at least one monster, you can special summon this card from your hand.

Now i know that most of the six samurai cards have stories, and appear in previous sets and STOR (eg: chamberlain of six= LSS kageki) Does this mean that there are more stories to how shiens strategist, and hermit came along? :D

Kudos to Sean for pointing this card out to me. He pointed that this card aided in Trishula summoning for six samurai decks. IMO, six samurai decks should summon Mist Worm instead because Mist Worm is like Giant Trunade and it helps with the OTK. Sure advantage is important, but when you have a whole field of about 5 x 2000 attack monsters, you should really OTK instead...

The first splashable useful NON TUNER six samurai card.

Do you know why i am startin to like this card?

1) Searchable with Reinforcements.

2) Easy to summon.

3) Because it is splashable, we are encouraged to use LSS Shi En.

What to do: Special Summon Hermit, summon X Saber Pashuul (best non six samurai level 2 warrior tuner around)

Lets make LSS Shi En!

i may consider moding my deck to fit this card in together with Reinforcement of the Army.

Afterall, seriously, if you had an easy way to play LSS Shi En, the most annoying synchro monster ever, wont you?

Of course the spell/ trap negation effect is gold.

Im starting to like Shi En, at least.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: Just heard the pricing of Malaysian LSS Shi En. Totally expensive. Even if i have money, i dont think i will get it unless i get a good deal for it. Totally bullshit.

So, brings me back to the topic.... AUGGGHHHH! Everyone can summon shi en now. And I hate Shi En !

this card can play in Debris Dandy deck oso... since its atk is lower than 500 and it is 3 star, its effect can make you synchron faster... y not?

Sean said...

Yup, nice post about Hermit. Being a lv.3 sp.summonable monster, he is also a vy good Trishula synchro material for Six Sams and other decks =).

Ciellotte said...

Nice Combo hha..
sabers with Shien It's Kinda Broke at least i think so..
hha~

mike9944 said...

@ shin tat- yes. but then i wont summon debris and waste his effect to pull off hermit but i must admit there are situations where reviving another tuner is really useful

@ sean- thank you. you intro this card to me one! :D yup especially trishula. i was thinking six smaurai using mist worm is better cos it help with the OTK. Mist wurm is like a better giant trunade.

Cielotte- thank you too. sabers with shien will add control elements to it. ppl can choose to tech gorz, debris dragon, effect veiler etc and now there is hermit of six warlord.

I have a feeling that after the Mac Banlist Six Sams would probably lose the OTK potential they used to have. Hence they would not be an OTK-based deck anymore but a deck that focuses primarily on Shien lockdown.

Sean said...

Opps, forgot to put my name on the above post =)

banning ROTA and limiting Gateway wouldn't hurt six sams if they keep printing broken cards like this...

yup... splashable no-tuner samurai, would probably take 1 of nimble hamster's slot at X-sabers

mike9944 said...

sean- hopefully. the otk stuff is uncalled for in yugioh. phew.

@bw ex- i disagree with ppl wanting to ban rota. because other decks like hero beat etc need it still. in fact, its better to limit smoke signal or just kizan altogether.

Sean said...

Ya, Mike. OTK shenanigans aren't healthy in YGO.

I also got a feeling that Kizan will be semi-ed.

blackwingEX said...

hero beat still has 3 E-call, and all other worthwhile warriors are either run in 3's or have their respective search cards

fullhelm/passhul - darksoul
grepher @ 3
d.d. lady @ 3
kizan is dope @ 3 though... yeah, they might R1 him but it's printed just recently, we must endure another 6 months of agony

mike9944 said...

no. there are still other warrior decks around. hero beat is just an example only.

banning reinforcement is no difference actually, because there is still 3 upstart, 3 kizan, 1 or 2 gateway, and 3 smoke signal. konami should attack the theme.

i think konami will keep reinforcements at 1 for other destiny turbo random warrior decks around.

here OCG we have to endure another 6 more. so 1 yr T.T oh well same as the TCG enduring darksoul and infern barrier and charge of light brigade (few formats ago last time)

blackwingEX said...

by the time darksoul reaches OCG, X-sabers would be long forgotten, TCG exclusives at Extra pack 4 getting hit by the banlist seems unlikely
Infernities and X-Sabers are barely making an impact during sept2010 format, even on open tourneys here at PHL

back on topic though... making Shi En splashable through hermit = ban Shi EN!!!

Anonymous said...

i wont forget xx sabers :p

and nah, they are still a decent archetype and they WILL be played in a sanctioned tourneys, much like blackwings.

i guarantee malaysia players will play sabers.

because without promo carrds, the deck works awesomely, and they can OTK very very very well.

doubt the tcg exclusives through exp 4 will be touched. if anythng needs touching, its faultroll.

one possible reason for them nt making it big in PHL tourney is that not many play the deck. so percentage for the deck to appaer in top8 is damn low. or another possiblity is those players arent experienced enough. (eg: inex Infern/ saber player vs exp BD player, and the saber player will stil lose)

sorry i love to debate :P

LOL shi en wont be banned. like sean said, after the banlist, six sam will likely become a control deck and not a swarmm nutbomb,and shi en will be a major component for that strategy, and that is a deck i approve off, and i'd be thrilled to play against sams any day after that.

who knows i might build sams after that one day hahaha

my bad preveious post was me

LOL@Mike. If you didn't say it I'd have thought that that post was made by a random player frm the PHL >.<

I'll support you making a Six Sams deck haha =p

Sean said...

lol my bad.. the above post was by me. Btw, no offense to any player frm the PHL. I appreciate that you guys are willing to post your top decklists on Shriek =).
