Ah, Beatdown Decks. The choice for any aggressive player, these Decks focus on monsters with high ATK to wipe your opponent's field clean and quickly drop their Life Points to 0. A common misconception to making this type of Deck are that your monsters of choice are only in your Deck for its ATK, and as such, adding monsters with both high ATK and powerful effects is a natural move for these Decks. This is where this card shines at its best. His effects speak for himself. And for a little trivia: This card's name in Japanese is God Beastking Barbaros. You now know why. Date: November 9, 2010

  • Ah, Beatdown Decks. The choice for any aggressive player, these Decks focus on monsters with high ATK to wipe your opponent's field clean and quickly drop their Life Points to 0. A common misconception to making this type of Deck are that your monsters of choice are only in your Deck for its ATK, and as such, adding monsters with both high ATK and powerful effects is a natural move for these Decks. This is where this card shines at its best. Now, "Beast King Barbaros" may not look like much: There are notable Level 8 3000 ATK monsters out there with other, more harmful, effects, like the popular "Judgment Dragon", or "Gladiator Beast Heraklinos", "Vampire Genesis", "Flying Fortress SKY FIRE" and "VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon". But this card has higher strategic use. Let's take a look at his first effect: "You can Normal Summon or Set this card without Tributing. If you do, its original ATK becomes 1900." Sound too heavy for a sacrifice? Not really. 1900 ATK is already good for a monster that can be Normal Summoned without tribute. And that's just the beginning! If you play a Skill Drain Deck, it'll be like you summoned a 3000 ATK beatstick for free! Or perhaps when your opponent is feeling lucky enough to attack it in Attack Position, you can use "Forbidden Chalice" on it to not only boost its ATK by 400, but negate its own ATK-cutting effect, turning it into an instant 3400 ATK monster, and when "Forbidden Chalice's" effect disappears, "Barbaros'" original ATK will stay at 3000! This may be a predictable strategy, but it'll make your opponent think twice before attacking. Now for its second effect: "You can Tribute 3 monsters to Tribute Summon this card. When you do, destroy all cards your opponent controls." BAM! This card possesses the combined effects of "Gilford the Lightning" and "Moisture Creature", and that's for the same cost as them, too. Your opponent may have prepared their defenses with the likes of "Mirror Force" and "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow", but with "Barbaros'" field-clearing effect, they better brace themselves for one big direct attack. So, which Deck can this card be placed in, aside for your Beatdowns? Your Beast/Beast-Warrior/Winged Beast Deck would look good and be powerful with him in it. Oh, and don't be shy to add up to three copies of him in your Deck. His effects speak for himself. And for a little trivia: This card's name in Japanese is God Beastking Barbaros. You now know why.
