Card Review: Lost Wind RATE-EN068

A new card that’s kind of gone under the radar. (more…)

Something quick and simple I want to point out because I have had this happen on numerous occasions when dealing with numerous Maintenance costs on the Koa'ki Meiru monsters. And one thing people either don't know or have not realized. Is you must pay their maintenance cost or destroy the monster period.

Effects like Effect Veiler, Breakthrough Skill, Skill Drain or Majesty's Fiend you still have to pay the cost to maintain the monster. These are not effects. Koa'ki Meiru monsters, mirror wall, messenger of peace, etc these are examples of cards that require a maintenance to keep going. 

But why is this a big deal? Well because players don't actually know what a maintenance cost is, I have seen Koa'ki meiru be played with a skill drain flipped up then they passed the turn and did nothing to maintain the monster and we sat there for 20 minutes while i explained the maintenance cost. Because He was unfamiliar with the way these cards would actually work.

So guys If you want to go and check out what I mean here is a link to check out I will also be going over this in more detail later on.
