Just read back the past few pages...

Summon Giant Kozaky, then Barrel Behind the door to give your opponent 2500 damage when you have to discard him for not having Kozaky on the field. Since he's a fiend, you are 1 fiend closer to summoning Dark Necrofear!

You'd be better off just using Graceful Charity or something and discarding 2 Fiends rather than trying to pull off a card that would only work against such an effect...you'd need quite a bit of the Deck focused on such a move to be able to pull it off enough...

Maybe, but it sure is fun to see the look on the other guys face. You can also use Barrel with Ring of destruction and Giant Kozaky with Mystic box and then stop defense for some more fun. Just make sure if you use Giant Kozaky with the box you play him face down of course.

That's pretty much been known for god-knows-how-long...(and really no one except for newer players have Stop Defense in their Deck as it is)

Swords of revealing light also works to switch him face up after the box.

Don't even need that much...just attack it with a weaker monster...

I only keep Giant Kozaky in a couple Decks...that's really all...

But if you attack it with a weaker monster you'll be taking damage. Any way, sorry about the Kozaky tangent. Not too sure about a lot of other "fiend" tactics, except that I like having the Dark Ruler around with my Summon Skulls. Pulling them out quick with soul exchange is my main goal.

can't you just summon giant kozaky and chain barrel ?

And exactly how much damage??? Depending on what you attack it with, I doubt, on average, 800 to 1000 Damage is THAT much compared to giving your opponent straight out 2500.

I know Dillie-O has got a nice Giant Kozaky deck, and i've faced it before. Nothing hurts more that getting burned by him multiple times. :tired:

Usually giving it to your opponent via Mystic Box, Shein Spy, (i think?) then attacking is usually an easy way to get the effect to go off.

I've also used Giant Kozaky in a Skill Drain deck since there it doesn't automatically self-destruct without Kozaky and you have a pretty strong attacker. Another use for it is Deck Devastation Virus, because he doesn't deal damage to you when tributed.

Skill Drain, Kozaky-based and a Creature Swap/Mystic Box/Shien-based Deck is the only Decktypes I have really used it in...even then...I do not try to run Barrel Behind the Door because...well...just 1 card effect that would be able to set it off just is nowhere near enough to be reliable and will end up as a dead draw most of the time.

I find barrel becomes less and less of a dead draw as time goes by. Sooner or later a set barrel pays off. Especially with everyone running ring right now.

In some ways, I guess...it just hasn't happened enough for me to use it constantly...which is why I've only used 1-2 at most...
