Card of the Week!: Denko Sekka


Recommended Posts

I guess it's still sideable for rouge, but not a lot of things play traps these days, and if they do, they can just roll over Denko 

 

But once is enough to make you paranoid, you get hit by Denko and you're damn sure Imma be flippin' my sheet in the Standby forever

it'll probably keep getting lower in popularity until the next back row heavy meta, or maybe somebody'll figure out something to do with fragrance and denko that none of us have thought of. where it'll see a swift rise in demand. when that'll be, i have no idea.

...you are all horrible people. from now on, solemn jokes are forbidden.

 

also, denko+seal+fossil dyna/jowgen might not be a bad way to lock somebody. throw in fragrance and i don't think there's many decks that could get around it easily.

What is seal?

 

And while you may say that "solemn jokes are forbidden"...

 

There's no nice way to Dress this, but...

 

You can't just write YCM Scripture like that, sorry.

Funny thing is that my feelings about this card change depending on how often I see it. Normally, it's not incredibly played considering decks enjoy their (minimal) backrow and many of the top decks now have some normal summon basis to them. 

 

Back in Nekroz/Shaddoll format, those decks did not require use of the normal summon and Denko was easily played, coupled with a format that was otherwise relatively backrow friendly, this card became pretty frustrating to the point that people were siding or maining Chaos Trap Hole just to deal with the Danko Swagga.

 

Really the annoyance of the card is directly related to how much play it sees. Are you going to get locked down by the Denko often enough that you'll be incredibly annoyed and calling for its ban, or so few times in recent memory that you can barely remember this card until it's brought up and the Vietnam flashbacks start flooding in?

I can't really condemn you for making solemn jokes i suppose...

 

Also by seal i meant seal of orichalcos.

 

Seal boosts denko and fossil to a respectable level, 1700 and 2200 respectively. fragrance after denko prevents backrow the second it's flipped, and dyna/jowgen prevent Special summons, which are usually the main way opponent's out players (may have to wait for monarch hype to die down though,)
