Armed Samurai - Ben Kei


Recommended Posts

Let's see...

Level 4 Warrior is exceedingly searchable, especially with 500 ATK, letting it be nabbed by Giant Rat, Warrior Lady of the Wasteland, Sangan, Reinforcement of the Army, etc.

The ATK also makes it revivable with Limit Reverse. Being able to attack one additional time per equip makes it an OTK, especially if equipped with Mage Power and/or United We Stand.

The problem is this strategy is extremely vulnerable. Any sort of monster removal (plenty of that), or good amounts of S/T removal, or Effect Veiler can all shut this card down.

It also has the problem of literally employing nearly all your resources into one assault. When you swarm with Samurai or Blackwings, your damage is spread out in several cards, making Mirror Force a huge enemy, but everything else is much less threatening. You could gamble an assault wiht 4 monsters against one facedown card and probably inflict plenty of damage. This is riskier with every additional facedown on your opponent's field.

But if you put the results of the duel into a single monster and three or four S/T zones, all the opponent needs to do is kill Ben Kei and they'll have a massive advantage by removing the threat and all the cards equipped to it, leaving you hard-pressed to regain card advantage.
