| Hi LDA this is my KCNTD article i hope it will be good enough to interest you . --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CARD BLOCKER ARTICLE -------------------- Glossary : ----------
A.Card advntages,usage,and weak points . B.Decks that can be used with it {Listed Forms}. C.Stratgies of those decks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
A.Card advantages,usages and weak points : ------------------------------------------ I.Card Advantages and usages : ------------------------------ Card blocker [Warrior/effect] when this card is summoned it is changed to defense postion . when a faceup monster you control is selected as an attack target , you can change the target to this card . When this card is selected as an attack target , you can send up to 3 cards from the top of your deck to the graveyard to give this card 500 defense for each of those cards until the end phase .
from this we can conclude that this card has 2 main uses first is stalling as it helps you to stall and stop the game for a while , second one is milling using its effct, milling can be used through many decks such as : 1.Zomies Norleras. 2.Revival Exodia. 3.Lightsworns. these decks will be discussed later through the article . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II.Weak points : ---------------- As we see it is an unprotected card can be taken down easily by fissure or smashing ground or lightning vortex , maybe also by effcts of some monsters like monarches so you cannot depend upon it alone in defending you while stalling. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cards used to perform the strategy : ------------------------------------ I.Card trooper,card blocker and Ryko,lightsworn hunter : -------------------------------------------------------- The milling effcts of these 3 cards give you the ability to mill more pieces of Exodia in order to get them back .
II.Exodia's pieces : -------------------- Exodia the forbidden one [spellcaster/effect] An automatic victory can be declared by the player whose hand contains this card together with left leg/right leg left arm/right arm of the forbidden one.
These pieces are the most important cards in the deck unlike normal decks of Exodia this one doesnt depend on having them in your hand but to return them to your hand after you mill them .
III:Marshmallon,spirit reaper and defender : -------------------------------------------- These 3 cards are used for stalling to give you time to mill more cards for your auto win also Level limit area B and Gravity bind are used as stalling cards.
IV:Chaos sorcerer : ------------------- To get advantage of the twilight monsters in your deck chaos sorcerer is there to help you get control of the match and break some lockdowns like stradust.
V:Card destruction and morphing jar: ------------------------------------ These 2 cards help you to free your hand and draw more cards in order to get as large as possible Exodia parts to grave.
VI:Pot of Avarice : ------------------- In case you get close to decking out and you milled most of your cards that help you get back your pieces you can use this card to get them back to the deck and draw them normally .
VII:Foolish burial : -------------------- [spell card] select one card from your deck and send it to your graveyard
Instead of milling cards randomly you can use this card to target Exodia's pieces .
VIII:Backup soldier,Dark factory of mass production and monster reincarnation: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[trap card] Activate only if there are 5 or more monsters in your graveyard add up to 3 non effect monsters with 1500 or less attack from your graveyard to your hand.
Backup soldier and dark factory are used to get the 4 limbs of Exodia and monster reincarnation is used to get exodia himself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2-Lightsworns deck : -------------------- main strategy : --------------- The main strategy is milling the cards using lightsworns effects until you have 4 or more lightsworns with deifferent names to special summon judgment dragon .
Cards used to perform this strategy : ------------------------------------- I:Card blocker and the lightsworns: -----------------------------------
Ryko ,Lightsworn Hunter [Beast/Effect] FLIP:you can destroy 1 card on the field .send the top 3 cards of your deck to the graveyard.
Celestia,Lightsworn angel [Fairy/effect] when you tribute summon this card by tributing a "lightsworn" monster,you can send the top 4 cards of your deck to the graveyard to destroy up to 2 cards your opponent controls .
From what we see here Lightsworns have different effects but they also have a common one which is milling . The first 2 cards i wrote and also put thier pics were the best 2 in my own opinion as you can use Ryko's flip effect to destroy a card then tribute him for celestia to destroy 2 more cards that mostly makes you clear the field then wish that you mill a wulf so that you can perform an OTK with this combo, if you dont mill a wulf then you can cause good damage as well as clearing the field . you can use card blocker's effect to mill 3 cards. For Ehren's effect it helps you to get rid of facedown monsters which are mostly dangerous as well as milling also if you have Garoth on the field you can mill 2 more cards. Lyla is useful in getting rid of spell or trap cards which gives more safety to attack. You use Lumina's effect to special summon wulf or another level 4 lightsworn to help with OTKs and also for milling .
II.Useful cards when milled : -----------------------------
Plaguespreader zombie [zombie/Tuner] you can return 1 card from your hand to the top of the deck to special summon this card from the graveyard , if you do remove this card from play after it is removed from the field
Plaguespreader zombie is very useful when milled as you can use its effect to special summon it and use one of your strong synchro cards also you can use Necro gardna's effect when milled to prevent OTKs and wulf's effct to perform OTKs.
III.Honest : ------------ You can use honest's effect to protect your monsters as most of your monsters are light .
VI:Herald of creation and monster reincarnation : ------------------------------------------------- AS the possibility of milling Judgment dragon is very high these 2 cards are there to retrun him back to your hand .
V:Judgment dragon : -------------------
[Dragon/Effect] This card cannot be normal summoned or set . This card cannot be special summoned except by having 4 or more "lightsworn" monsters with different names in your graveyard . You can pay 1000 life points to destroy all other cards on the field .During each of your end phases send the top 4 cards of your deck to the graveyard .
At last the purpose from milling is summoning this great monster with its effect you can make quick OTKs easily and swiftly .
VI:Supporting spell cards : ---------------------------
Charge of the light brigade [spell card] Send the top 3 cards of your deck to the graveyard .Add 1 level 4 or lower "Lightsworn" monster from your Deck to your hand.
Solar recharge [spell card] Discard 1 "lightsworn" monster. Draw 2 cards then send the top 2 cards of your deck to the graveyard .
These 2 cards are very vital support cards for the lightsworns as you can use charge of the light to mill cards and add one lightsworns of level 4 or lower to your hand so that if you are missing one card for summoning judgment dragon you can bring it easily . And you can also use solar recharge as a drawing engine plus also milling . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------3.Zombie Norleras deck : ------------------------ Main strategy : --------------- The main strategy is milling Sky scourage norleras by the various mill cards and use the effect of Phantom of chaos to throw your and your opponent's hand and field but this wont harm you since you will be using zombies whose effects are speciefied to be used in grave such as book of life ,zombie master,Mezuki and il blud .
I.Card blocker : ---------------- Card blocker is used here to mill your 3 cards to feed your grave with zombies and Norleras .
II.Il blud ,zombie master and mezuki : -------------------------------------- After you have used Norleras' effect which will mostly feed your grave with zombies you can use these 3 cards for killer special summons to perform OTKs .
III.Sky scourage norleras : ---------------------------
[Fiend/Effect] This card cannot be normal summoned or set , this card cannot be special summoned except by removing from play 1 fairy light type monster and 3 fiend Dark type monsters in your graveyard . You can pay 1000 life points to send all cards on th field and in both players' hands to the graveyard then you draw one card .
This card is the main one in the deck since the main concept of the deck is milling him or sending him to grave to copy his eff using Phantom of chaos to clear the field and both players' hands . He can be sent to grave by different ways which are : milling him by Card blocker or sending him to grave by foolish burial or throwing him to grave by Trade in .
IV:Phantom of chaos : ---------------------
[Fiend/Effect] Any battle damage that this card inflicts to your opponent's life points becomes zero.Once per turn , you can remove from play 1 effect monster in your graveyard .Until the end phase this card's name is treated as that monster's name and it gains that monster's effct(s) and ATK .
This card is the second most useful card in this deck as it is strongly recommended to perform norleras' effct.
V:Dark creator : ----------------
[Thunder/Effect] This card cannot be normal summoned or set. This card cannot be special summoned except by having 5 or more Dark monsters in your graveyard while you control no monsters .Once per turn , you can remove from play one Dark monster from your graveyard to special summon one dark monster from your graveyard .
After all that milling and the using of norleras' effct you will surely have great amount of Dark monsters in grave you can use the effect of creator to get use of that advantage .
VI:Support spell cards : ------------------------
[spell card] {Field} Any monsters on the field or in any graveyard becomes zombie type monster. Neither player can tribute summon monsters except zombie type monsters.
This card is a very effctive support card as it protects you from many meta cards such as Thunder decks and also gives you protection against monarches and LADD decks since no tribute summon can be done plus it gives your book of life an access to Norleras which will be very useful as another way to special summon Sky scourage norleras.
[spell card] special summon one zombie tyoe monster from your graveyard and remove from play one monster from your opponent's graveyard .
This card as mentioned before gives you access to Norleras with zombie world plus it helps you special summon any other monster in grave too and even if you dont have zombie world you can use it to special summon zombies and it also gives you the ability to get rid of an important monster in your opponent's grave .
VII:Trade-in: ------------- This card is used effectively to help your drawing engine and also get rid of Norleras and dark creator when you draw them in a not useful situation.
VIII:Burial from dieffernt dimension: ------------------------------------- As you will have many removed cards such as : plaguespreader zombie and cards removed by Phantom of chaos and Dark creator and also the fact that many people use D.D warrior lady and bottomless trap hole in more than one copy this card will help you fill your grave again . --------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the end of my article i hope you had fun reading it and also i hope that i covered the most useful faces of using Card blocker.

| Grammar/Spelling: Bold: Changed 1. Hi LDA. This is my KCNTD article. I hope it will be good enough to interest you.
There are many problems, but I just realized I can't spend that much pointing them all out like in Arlin's. Sorry! Here are your main problems.
Make sure you capitalize the first letter of every sentence. Make sure you do not insert a space after the last letter in the sentence before the period. Remember to insert a space between punctuation marks and the next letter. Missing some comma's and other punctuation marks.
(-3)
Length/Content/Organization: First of all... glossary? I believe you mean Table of Contents. Good job adding color and pictures to your article. It makes it attractive for the reader. (+1) It is extremely detailed; I might even say too detailed. I would suggest that you focus more on the Card Blocker, since the topic is supposed to be mainly about Card Blocker. You can add information about the types of decks that it works well in, but only briefly explain it. Your article looks more like several articles put together. Try sticking on the subject of Card Blocker, rather than go into every topic you come across, if that makes sense. (-1)
Idea: Original. I like your idea, but again, try to keep on the subject.
