Comparing 4 common cards

[MarbleZone]

 

Okay, so Tiger isn't common, bite me.

 

Assuming I can't afford a Gene-Warped Warwolf, and that I'm only interested in discussing these cards, whose ATK reaches/surpasses 2k in specific circumstances (so forget Zombyra for a minute), which of these is worth running the most, if any, outside their obvious archetypes (because yes, I know Crystal Beasts usually run Tiger, Roids usually run Steamroid and Lightsworns usually run Jain), and why?

[CrabHelmet]

Jain. It is the hardest for the opponent to kill by battle, requiring even Stratos to launch a suicide attack against it, and its mill effect is beneficial even outside of its archetype.

 

Although it would help if you told us exactly what deck you have in mind for these.

[Umbra]

Well, Jain and Tiger are the ones without negative effects.

 

So, it's up to you. Would you rather have mill or a S/T-zone occupied?

[~ Chidori-Kun]

Depends on which build

[MarbleZone]

Thanks for the replies - I prefer Jain as well, even though I'm not comfortable enough with milling yet. Most of the time I seem to lose important cards, but I believe that stems from my overall lack of skill.

None in particular, I really just wanted to compare their overall usefulness outside of where they usually belong. ;)

The difference between a card milled and a card never drawn is that a milled card can be revived.

i would have to agree with Crab, that Jain is better. it is searchable through a lot more sources, RotA for one, and it doesnt have a negative ATK downside like the bottom two. Tiger has a S/T effect, which can clog spaces outside of the CB Archetype, but Jain has a nice mill effect that is useful in a lot of places.

 

of these 4, Jain is obviously the best choice. ;)

[CrabHelmet]

It doesn't exactly help that Tiger's spell/trap effect is basically useless outside of a deck specifically designed to accommodate it - and it even blocks Gorz.

Jain. Its RotAable, Chargeable, Rechargeable and runs over almost every commonly used Level 4 or lower Monster.

 

The mill is beneficial even outside its own archetype as previously established. To cope with the mill, dont overextend and you're fine. You dont wanna deck yourself out before you can win.

...it's two cards per turn of mill in a deck that is not known to mill cards or be turbo. Decking yourself is not an issue here.

It's "S/T clogging effect" should never become an issue.

 

On-topic: Jain.

The comment about blocking Gorz was referring to why you wouldn't just keep it there "because you can" in case of getting a Brionac or something, making it literally useless.

[Megaworm]

try Jain. That card is usable most of the time as long as you don't deck yourself out.

 

and by the way, what do you mean you can't afford GWW? They are only around 5 or 10 Dolla. I know that might devour your wallet, but at least it aint no JD.

[Flame Dragon]

Jain is the most useful for reason's alreay said.

 

If you look at only the other 3 I'd say their are about even.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Actually, I don't know many good Roid decks that run Steamroid. Anyway, Jain has the most beneficial effect, overall. But some of these guys would be more useful in other decks.

[[ Not saying that there actually is a good Roid deck, but the best roid decks there are more than likely do not run Steamroid. Speaking of Roids... they never really got any spotlight other than Drillroid. ]]
