Father Wolf Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Thunder King can still stop Special Summons even while skill Drain is up. If u don't have a Skill Drain in ur hand or face down u can still use it to force GB's and Black Wings to play around him or even waist a Smash/Summon/Vortex to get rid of him. With Forbidden Chalice he becomes 2300! omg. Beast King is lolATK with Skill Drain. With out skill drain up u could -2 ur self to nuke ur opponents field or else he is just a 1900 beat stick. Regardless no one attacks him if u summon him without skill drain up because of the fear of Skill drain or Chalice being face down. So which is better. Think more of Skill Drain DAD than just pure skill drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mizore-Shirayuki Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 i made a deck around barbaros on his 3 tribute effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuugiCM Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 im leaning more towards barbaros i mean if u dont got three or two tributes you at least have 1900 attack and with skill drain he goes back to 3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I have both of these cards though. Use Barbaros in my Deck to clear my opponent's field of cards I don't like (i.e. Mirror Force, Spirit Reaper, etc.) Rai-Oh just sits in my binder doing nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think more of Skill Drain DAD than just pure skill drain.My friend did that to me. It really surprised me since he only added Chalice as a joke and I didn't think he would be able to think of something so logical. On Topic: It's hard to say. Both a really help and really important in skill drain. I'm going to give this to Thunder King since he can screw your opponent over more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God I thought I was gonna be even more of a noob than Flame and Crab are making me seem to be, but I was gonna say Rai-Oh as it says "funk you and your Stardust Dragon and your ability around Skill Drain" (just one example) However personally I would possibly say Barbaros and just play Oppression. I dunno how Oppression would work in Skill Drain DAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azuh Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Neither is better. Run both. This. There both mass beatsticks with heavy and powerful effects, so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Wolf Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 the problem with running both is space for both (aka 2 of each), right now i'm able to squeeze them in but once i get my Gold Sarcos idk anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Majishan Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 i made a deck around barbaros on his 3 tribute effect thats just terrible Not really it's the same as a plasma deck but more versatile because of skill drain combos. Close but its much slower because you have to protect your tokens so you can tribute them next turn. I tried running Plasma Babaros, but Babaros just ended up being trade in food or a 1900 beat stick most of the time because of him being a Tribute summon and not a special summon.

Barbaros doesn't have that kind of friends for his Tribute effect. And even if Plasma wasn't a special summon, he could still use Fires of Doomsday tokens, which Barbaros for being EARTH cannot. On-topic: I prefer Barbaros for ATK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiro Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 With out skill drain up u could -2 ur self to nuke ur opponents field or else he is just a 1900 beat stick. Tributing 3 monsters = -2 yourself? Also, just call it 'Tributing 3 monsters', because the (dis)advantage that it would create depends on your opponent's field.

HORUS Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Barbaros should be at 3 in Skill Drain DAD but Rai-Oh is a personal preference. I personally would run it. It's a 1900 beatstick that prevents your opponent from Synchro Summoning and also gives you the opportunity to run Chaos Sorcerer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 With out skill drain up u could -2 ur self to nuke ur opponents field or else he is just a 1900 beat stick. Tributing 3 monsters = -2 yourself?It works like this:You have 3 monsters out' date=' right? The 1st Released monster is replaced with Barbaros, and the other 2 Released monsters are just sent to the Graveyard. So there you go, you -2'd yourself. Also, just call it 'Tributing 3 monsters', because the (dis)advantage that it would create depends on your opponent's field.The opponent would have to have a minimum of 3 cards on his/her field, for Barbaros' effect to be at least a +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manjoume Thunder Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 @Arm: No. You loose the 3 monster that you tributed and move Barbie from your hand to your field so it's a -3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
