Well, Im writing this review so people will notice that Crush Card Virus have to get into ban.
why? well, it seem's that CCV is too much powerfull of a lot of fact that i will write down in the next subtitle. Hope you will enjoy reading this. Thanks a lot.
Uses:
The uses of Crush Card Virus are allmost - unlimited.
first of all, we will start with the much-simple fact that you can tribute a DARK monster that you can have in all of the decks. like: Sangan for exam.
a lot of times, you can bring sangan to the field. (Mystic Tomato Controll Decks, Deep Diver and more), the easy way - is to bring it up with Mystic Tomato, then you could activate CCV on Sangan Plus adding monster with 1500 attack or less to your hand because of sangan's effect.
so it could be used in a Monarch-Mystic Tomato Deck.
the secound, that is easy deck too, is Apprentice Monarch.
With the Apprentice Magician, Old Vindictivate Magician and Seer.
you can easlly come with a DARK monster on the field Plus activate Vindictivate's Effect.
the third, its a Perfect-Circule Deck. by Destiny's Heroes.
with Malicious on the field a lot of times, Disk Commander and even Fear Monger. you again , can gain a lot of controll to the game by activating thouse effects.
the four exam, is in Macro Cosmos Deck.
A LOT of times, D.D Scout Plane is coming to the field by special summoned. its more then easy to use CCV on it, Plus allure of darkness - its just became much more- CRAZY.
Upperdeck are trying that WE ALL wanna use CCV cause of his AMAZING effect.
Strategies and game play:
Here, ill help you in how to use CCV.
CCV need to be used only if you can gain something from his effect.
exam?
well, some people have thouse Macro Cosmos's Decks.
do you really wanna make D.D Survivor that easy to the remove?
its just make them the game.
against Macro Cosmos deck, ill be putting CCV to the side-deck.
*you have to remember- CCV can be used only 1 in a deck, so it will be difficulted to get it in every game - you can only count on it, so if you are buliding a deck with it, dont put all the DARK monsters with 1000 and less in your deck, its just useless if the CCV will not get into your hand.
Combos with other cards:
Like i said in the first subtitle, the combos are allmost unlimiteds.
but, the main combos are:
Activating Destiny Draw, D-Hero Malicious to the Graveyard, Remove it to Special Summoned another Malicious from the Deck.
and then, Activating CCV.
Premature Burial to Disk Commander, Draw 2 Cards, CCV on Disk.
Apprentice Magician, Bringing a Old Vindictivate Magician, Flip Old, and activating a CCV.
Allure Of Darkness, Remove D.D. Scout Plane, CCV Face down. - in the begining of your opponent's turn, activate CCV.
and MUCH MORE OPTIONS!!!
Ways to counteract it:
Well, to protect you from the CCV card, you need to put in the deck Trap- Destoyers like:
Jinzo's, Royal Decree's, Seven Tools Of the Benedit, Solemn Judgments.
you need to side-deck against CCV with wisdom, or you will find youeself - activating Royal Decree while your opponent's activating Enemy controller.
Weaknesses/Cons:
CCV's Only weaknesses is against Macro Cosmos deck or against DDT Decks.
and maybe, against a Burn Decks, that used no more then 1000 Attack monsters.
Artwork and aesthetics:
CCV's Artwork is nice, it remaind me a real Japanese Virus that will be the End Of The World. (its very noticelly that all Viruse's have thouse "Balls with Japanese Letter's on them)
Overall rating:
9
Thanks a lot for Reading.
