..Well here is my first article, I don't have much experience on this, but I've read some articles out there so I decided to make one about this card:
Name:
Pinch HopperCard type: Monster
Type: Insect/Effect
Atribute: Earth
Level: 4
ATK/DEF: 1000/1200
Description: When this card on your side of the field is sent to your Graveyard Special Summon 1 Insect-Type Monster from your hand.
First of all this card is easy to get: there is not limitation on it, so you can have 3 in your deck, and due to it's low ATK it can be special summoned by the effect of
Howling Insect and
Giant Rat. You can also get it in your hand with the effect of
Sangan and
Gokipon.Now let's move on to the effect: it can special summon an insect on your hand, there's no ATK or Level limit, so any insect can be special summoned as long as it has no summoning condition (like
Doom Dozer.) Also the effect is activated when it's sent to the graveyard, so unless your oponent has a D.D. deck you can activate it easly in many ways:
-Destroyed by battle: This is the must ovius one, when your opponent atacks your Pinch Hopper you can get a strong monster that will surely stop the battle phase.
-Destroyed by your oponent's effect: No matter how your oponent destroys your Pinch Hopper, you will allways get the effect.
-Tribute Summon: you can use your Pinch Hopper for a tribute summon so you will get a LV 5 or 6 monster and an insect-type that was special summoned by it's effect.
-
Insect Imitation: By tributing your Pinch Hopper with Insect Imitation you will get a LV 5 monster from your deck and you get to special summon annother monster from your hand.
-
Torrential Tribute: Just normal summon your Pinch Hopper and activate Torrential Tribute, it will destroy all monsters on the field but you will get Pinch Hopper's effect, so the only monster on the field will be the special summoned monster and you oponent will be open for a direct atack.
-And any other card that requires a tribute or destroys monsters on the field.
That's not everything: When your oponent activates an effect from a monster like:
Levia-Dragon Daedalus or
Demise King of the Armageddon your will not be opened for a direct atack, and if you have an insect stronguer than those your oponent won't be able to atack.
Well that's all for this article, I hope you like it, this is my first article so be nice on me.
