Hello peoples, today Senpai would like to share with you a very interesting two card combo: Black Garden+Rivalry of Warlords.
Whenever a player Normal or Special Summons a monster, that monster's ATK will be halved, and a DARK attribute Rose Token with 800/800 ATK and DEF will be summoned to their opponent's side of the field. The combo I am about to share with you takes those petty little tokens and makes them a huge pain in the opponent's rear end.
With Rivalry of Warlords active, each player can only control one type of monster. By summoning one of your monsters, your opponent will get a Rose Token, and if you clear out the rest of their monsters followed by activating Rivalry of Warlords, they will only be able to control Plant-type monsters. This is a very dangerous combo that basically prevents your opponent from playing monsters. You will also no longer be able to receive the Tokens yourself, due to Rivalry's effect. With Plants being non existent in this day and age, it is very unlikely your opponent will be able to summon any monsters without ramming their token into you, and when they do that, you just wasted their main phase and battle phase, and still have a very annoying floodgate in Rivalry. Then you will just proceed to give them another Token next turn. Gozen Match can do pretty much the same thing, but Rivalry is overall the better card in this format. Of course, you can use both Rivalry and Gozen in this deck.
Now, the problem with this combo is finding a deck that can utilize it, or finding out how to build a deck centered around it. But if we all put our brilliant heads together, we might create the next greatest anti-meta deck.
