Optimal Thinking

Heres a good card: Junk Synchron.

Its a Level 3 Tuner that revives a level 2 monster for an instant synchro summon!

Great! Lets abuse that fact!



Well, you have just fell trap to the "impeded thinking", or thinking that doesnt allow you to see all possible uses of the card.

Also Royal Oppression, but that's another story.

Whilst not being necessarily bad, impeded thinking means exactly that: you're blinded by the shiny coin to realize the chest behind it.

Junk Synchron, has a very good effect. Revive a level 2, and make a level 5. Or, make a level 6 with Treeborn Frog.

Well, thats not all the uses for Junk Synchron.

Being a level 3 Warrior, it has times where it has been searched by Reinforcements and fed to Allure,

or even times where it was used just for reviving a level 2 or under monster, without synchro summoning.

Depending on your life points, you might even consider summoning him, and just using his revived target as an ablative wall to save yourself. Two meatshields are better than one!

A more commonly used tactic is to summon him and revive a tuner, and steal the enemy's monsters to synchro summon twice.

But the point is there: Whilst some cards are mostly used to perform certain things, they can be used for much much more.

Collosal Fighter functions well as a big beatstick that revives itself in battle.

Can you use it in different ways?

How about summoning it, sending it to its death/trade, then steal a warrior from the enemy's graveyard for even more advantage?(Goyou Gaurdian is fun to steal)

Every time you see a card, you should think twice about how you can use its effects to different ends.

Summoning Diva and searching out another one, just to get some fusion material via Fusion Gate for Absolute Zero works really well too.

Judgement Dragoon as Bottomless Trap Hole bait, Plaguespreader for Diamond Dude bait, etc all work really well.

So, every time you see a card, you should be thinking about each individual effect, and how you can use each effect in a different way than most commonly used.

Thats all for today.
