Number Hunters: Close up Review - Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier

So, I decided to do some review on cards I think are good and can be useful.

Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier

1st Edition NUMH-EN010

Earth/LV1/Warrior/Effect

During your Standby Phase: Special Summon up to 2 "Hero Challenger" monsters from your hand and/or Graveyard, except "Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier".  You can only use this effect of "Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier" once per turn.  When you  do: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; make all "Heroic Challenger" monsters you currently control become Level 1.

ATK/ 0 DEF/ 0

This cards can help the Heroic Challenger deck.  One, being a Warrior and Level 1 mean it is searchable by ROTA  (Reinforcement of the Army).  With attack of 0 and defense of 0 mean it will not do much at all.  With the bad attack and defense, this guy has a great effect.  The only problem is trying to keep him alive until your Standby Phase.  But there are cards that can solve that.  You can protect him with Threaten Roar or the best thing to do is make sure you have him in your graveyard.  All you have to do is play some copy of Call of the Haunted (or any trap cards that can special summon Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier from the grave).  It has to be a trap cards so that you can wait until your Standby Phase to activate.  That way you can special summon Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier during your Standby phase, then use Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier's effect to special summon two Heroic Challenger from your hand or graveyard.  Those Heroic Challenger's effect are not negate, so you can used those Heroic Challenger's effect, or xyz to any Rank you want because Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier just special summon any Heroic Challenger.  Does not matter what Level they are.  Plus, they stay on the field until they get destroy.  How good is that.

The second effect is when you special 2 Heroic Challenger with Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier's effect.  You can Banish this card from your graveyard (as a Cost) to make all Heroic Challenger monsters you currently control become LV1.  You might not want to do this unless you there are some good Rank 1 monsters.  

Your goal is to have this card in your graveyard so that each standby phase you can bring this card back with Call of the Haunted.  Reuse his effect each turn can change the game to your favorite.

If I can get more of these Heroic Challenger, I might build a fun deck.  They may not be up to the Level of Dragon Ruler or Prophecy but they can be a fun deck to play once in a while.

Number Hunters: Number 85: Crazy Box Review

Today I bought my first Yu-Gi-Oh! Number Hunters pack.  I just bought one packs because I have not check the list to see what I am looking for.

But here is what I pulled out of one pack.

Not Bad.  But one card jump out on me.  That one card is Number 85: Crazy Box.

Here is a close up picture:

Number 85: Crazy Box

1st Edition NUMH-EN033

Dark/Fiend/XYZ/ Effect

2 Level 4 Monsters

This card cannot attack.  Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; roll a six-sided die and apply the result.

1: Halve your Life Points, 

2: Draw 1 Card.

3: Your Opponent discards 1 card.

4: Negate the effects of 1 face-up card on the field until the end of this turn.

5: Destroy 1 card on the field.

6: Destroy this card.

So, lets break it down.  A dark monster, it is alway good being a dark monster. Required 2 Level 4 monsters, that is easy to get him out. Mostly every deck can get him out in turn 1.  Now on to his effect.  Number 85: Crazy Box cannot attack while on the field.  That is bad, even if it has high attack monsters still don't last long enough to protect you.  For the rest of the effect, is all about luck.  3000ATK is great.  If you guys did not know, you can EEV this card.  Now any deck can side three EEV against Prophecy. 

So if Prophecy does not get hit by September 2013.  Be prepare to see more of this card.  Unless EEV  get hit.

Hey guys, this is PK.  Today I decided to buy two boxes of Battle Pack 2: War of the Giant.  It has been a while, so here is some of the highlight from these two boxes.
