Red Eyes Incarnations

What cards do you remmebrt the most for the anime. DMG, Dark Magician, Blue Eyes and ofcourse Red eyes. Everyone loved Red Eyes and you saw it allot more often than Blue Eyes and i'm going to play tribute to good old Red eyes.

First lest look at Good old Red first.

There isn't much i can say about him that hasn't all ready been said but a lv 7 dark for 2400 was good at the time but with monarchs and a whole host of other cards he's not that a good beatstick any more. He is a dark which helps but not to much use.

RE Metal is probbaly the worst one as his attack and def are of a red eyes equpied with metalmorph. So he becomes a machine instead f getting the +atk when he attack which is much more useful. RE Metal is rather pointless in todays game.

RE Darkness is what everyone thinks about when we say RE incarnations and made RE playable one again. He gains 300atk for each dragon in the graveyard which ment that you would often have a 3000atk monster easy. Tho not that easy to summon he was powerful and with dragons being so easy to dump in the graveyard like Masked Dragon, Lv monsters and my fave Troop Dragon ment that he could get strong quick and it also set up for the Dragon's mirror combo with 5 Headed Dragon (FDG). This card is still used today in many dragon decks but his reliance on RE makes him seldom used else where.

RE Darkness Metal. Oh my god where do i start with him. He's a King Dragoon on Sterioids. He is easy to summon only needing to remove 1 dragon on the field from play to summon. He also summon ANY dragon (Apart from himself) from your hand or graveyard once per turn. Now i know you saying but King Dragoon is protected by Lord of D's effect. Yes but this card is far easyier to summon and can summon from the graveyard summoning things like Darkfire dragon, Tyrant Dragon, Hours lv6 and many others. He doesn't nedd the protection and with 2800 atk hes can put up a fight with anything and go toe to toe with DAD. He is only avalible in jap at the mo but he will hit big in dragon decks when he hits the TCG.

RE Chick is what made RE more playable. Coming out at the same time more or less as Darkness this incressed his power 10 fold. Blue eyes also got Kaibaman but to my knowlage he is a promo. hick is rather weak but as he often will leave the field the same turn he hits the field then thats not a worrie. Also he searchable with Masked to then trade in for RE.

Zombie is the only RE incarnation that doesn't need RE or any dragons. Thsi card came out along with one of the best filed spells "Zombie World" and they both go hand in hand. Being easy to summon and having Goro guardian's effect of reborning monsters (As long as they are Zombies) he can control and swarm very easy. Also with Zombies getting 2 Syncros now the reborn monsters make brill syncro tributes. Oh ever he's only got 2400atk making him rather weak to DAD, JD and alike that are easy to summon. In short this card should be in every deck that runs Zombie world or maybe in a side deck for when you run into zombies.

RE Wyvern is the newest to join the RE clan and rightly so. He can remove him self to bring back any RE from your graveyard. Not i'm not 100% shore on what his exact effect is. some say it only applys to RE, some say to all RE cards but i think it's all RE cards exept Chick and him self. With 1800atk hes not bad but his effect is just like Darkness Metal so he would be the perfect partner for him.

Tradisional format

Red Eyes - 4/10 - In his day he was in every deck but now his attack has cost him and as such is not used much. But if combined with his Cosins he could become a major pain.
Metal - 0/10 - This has never been playable really as most of the time you would want to keep the metalmorph.
Drakness - 7/10 - Only realy good in a dragon deck but still very good none the same.
Drakness Metal - 9/10 - This guy ownes when combied with Blue Eyes.
Chick - 3/10 - Useful for Special summoning your RE but is harmed due to RE lack of power on his own.
Zombie - 6/10 - The only one that hates Dragons. Put him in with Zombies and watch him bring back there dead.
Wyvern - 4/10 - Useful in most RE decks but you do't want Dragons removed from play most of the time.

Advanced Format

Red Eyes - 4/10 - As effective in T format but he is a little better.
Metal - 0/10 - still useless
Darkness - 8/10 - With a few less nuke cards around he's much mor powerful.
Darkness Metal - 10/10 - I think this maybe a first. He ownes all dragon decks and any decks that even use them.
Chick - 3/10 - With not nuch that stops him to stat with he's about the same as T format.
Zombie - 7/10 - Staying around for longer is always a good sign.
Wyvern - 4/10 - Still the same as RE's are the same.

Art

Red Eyes - 10/10 - RE has had 4 diffrent art work's each one getting better and as such needs a 10.
Metal - 3/10 - I felt that he looked a little too overdramatic.
Darkness - 8/10 - Nice and darkend and just how it should be.
Darkness Metal - 7/10 - Very good but i get the feeling that more could have been done.
Chick - 4/10 - Nice but i would have likes to just see his eye bright red and still mostly in his shell.
Zombie - 6/10 - I fel it could be more epic but it still sends that one hair up on end.
Wyvern - 3/10 - I love this art but i know it's craps so i pulled it half way here.

Fun

Red Eyes - 10/10 - It's always fun to play a legand
Metal - 1/10 - Can be stasfing if you can get him out.
Darkness - 6/10 - a 3000atk+ beatstick, whats not to like.
Darkness Metal - 10/10 - If you have to ask why then i give up.
Chick - 6/10 - Simple yet fun some how.
Zombie - 9/10 - kill you Treeborn frog. Oh deer.
Wyvern - 5/10 - Free summons are always fun

Total

Red Eyes - 28/40 - He's one of the big 3 and as such should get a big score.
Metal - 4/40 - Don't use him. FULL STOP!
Darkness - 29/40 - Classic and packs a major punch.
Darkness Metal - 36/40 - Possibly my highest scorer and rightly so. Get you hands one one if you can.
Chick - 16/40 - Lacking in attack but still very good all the same.
Zombie - 28/40 - Rather new card and has all ready made waves. He very good and a must for any Zombie player.
Wyvern - 16/40 - He is a promo so get him if you can but hes only worth it to go with a RE powerhouse.

I hpe you enjoyed my REd Tribute and remember you can submit any ideas or suggestions for future card reviews. Next week i'll be finising the Neo Spacians with Grand Mole, Glow Moss and Air Hummingbird. See you next week.

[Zero_Infinity]

Nice review, I enjoyed reading it. Do you have any idea when Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon will be released in the TCG?

[NecroHands]

Nice Review, could use a touch up on spelling, and less abbreviations looks considerably more professional.
