The main card in this deck is the Inzektor Sword - Zektkaliber:


Equip only to an "Inzektor" monster. It gains 800 ATK and DEF. When this face-up card on the field is sent to the Graveyard: Target 1 "Inzektor" monster in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand.

What's so good about this card? Lots !! LOL. First, it gives a boost to Inzektors (both ATK and DEF). Imagine your Centipede becomes a Monarch size (2400 atk) and Dragonfly becomes a Laquari (1800 atk) or a freaking wall (2600 def) and Hornet (or Gullho) has some decent atk (1300 atk). Next and the fun part of this card is its Monster Reincarnation like effect. The "When" statement of the card does not miss its timing (Miss Timing = "When....you can"). Third, this card is similar to Supervise.


Equip only to a Gemini monster. It is treated as an Effect Monster, and gains its effect(s). When this face-up card on the field is sent to the Graveyard: Target 1 Normal Monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon it.

Both the Inzektor Sword - Zektkaliber and Supervise has "When this face-up card on the field is sent to the Graveyard". What's my point? Let's check the rulings:

-If “Mystical Space Typhoon” is Chained to the activation of “Supervise” to destroy it, the effect to Special Summon 1 Normal Monster will still be activated.

-If “Supervise” is sent to the Graveyard during the Damage Step, the effect to Special Summon 1 Normal Monster still activates

Both rulings can be seen here: http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/gameplay/rulings/100325DPTin_%20HA_SDWS_ST09_Rules.pdf

Some stunts that can be performed with the sword:

-Summon Dragonfly equip Hornet and equip the sword. Enjoy the Special Summons and get your Hornet.

-Opponent has only 1 card on the field, you have a Dragonfly, Hornet, and important cards. Inzektor stunt that card, Special Summon Centipede. Destroy Dragonfly, get sword. Equip sword. It will pressure your opponent. If the equipped monster gets destroyed by battle, the monster will be sent to graveyard first then the sword will be destroyed by game mechanics sending it to the graveyard then it will form a chain so you can target either Centipede or Dragonfly to perform a stunt next turn.

Game Mechanics explained here: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Game_mechanics

-If the equipped monster and the sword is simultaneously destroyed by a card effect (ex: Black Rose Dragon) and sent to graveyard, both of the cards will be sent to graveyard then after that a chain will form via sword's effect. The equipped monster is in the graveyard by that time so you can target it (also noted in the supervise rules).



And that wraps about the trolling powers of the sword. Now for the Tourney Report:

Round 1 vs Kaloy Bonillo (Inzektors)
O-X-O

The first player to have Hornet wins. Luckily, I got it for 2 games.

Round 2 vs Chito Racimo (Lightsworn)
O-O

He milled his Heavy Storm in Game 1 and also got bad draws. Book of Moon his Consecrated Light in Game 2. Done many sword stunts in this round.

Semi-finals vs Vince Lim (Hieroglyphics)
O-X-O

Veilered his Card Car Ds then took control in Game 1. He destroyed my Mask of Restrict and negated my Light-Imprisoning Mirror in Game 2. He suffered greatly because of Mask of Restrict in Game 3. All his Card Cars are either veilered or warninged.

Finals vs Alvin Lim (Inzektors)
O-X-X

This round is about who runs out of backrow first wins. I ran out first 2 out of 3. LOL


Overall, I can say that the sword is so good if you know how to use it right. Destroying it while equipped for OTK and leaving it on the field for pressure.

This concludes my post. Have fun !!
