Banned Lock: Card of the Week///Gustav Max with Limited REDMD

2 Level 10 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; inflict 2000 damage to your opponent.

Easy yet powerful (?) effect. Since it was part of the hieratic OTK, it was one of the most requested cards from tcg players. Well, we've got it, with unusefully censured art, but the limitation of redmd hit will make TCG Hieratic Players cry.
Well, this was kinda an introduction to today's post: How to use that long-named monster without double REDMD and what deck could play this.
Let's start putting together some ideas. Yesterday, a comment on this post, wrote by K'yde Ren (a great malaysian blogger, check his blog out, even if you should already know it if you know mine, lol. However, it's called digital mortal), said that he would like to tech Galaxy Wizard in his R8 hieratic build. I was thinking about it too, but, while replying to his comment, I noticed that wizard can, obviously, search out galaxy queen's light that can be easily used on a lv8 monster to go into crazy R8 XYZs. But only after sending the comment I noticed how galaxy queen's light on redmd could easily mean double gustav and one monster left, probably. Gustav is 2k damages, then the other one for other 2k damages, and then these two can attack with 3k each. If direct attack it should be 3k+3k+2k+2k=10k, game.
Just let's say an hand of 4 hieratics which at least one is tefnuit and galaxy wizard/accel light:
SS tefnuit, NS wizard, tribute and search galaxy queen's light, tribute tefnuit for su, then su for other tefnuit, xyz the two vanilla monsters into atum, use atum's eff, SS redmd, eff redmd, SS su, SS tefnuit, tributing tefnuit, ss a vanilla too, use galaxy queen's light, then gaia on atum.

It could look like an occasional play, but still, it's another play, along with tons of comboes that hieratics can already do, you'll have this other one that can lead to other OTKs. Lots of player will play mirror force, too, and random negation cards like solemn judgment and warning that will make them pay lps. This is a great way to do at least 2k damages and win without attacking.

And I was thinking how lollish would be doing galaxy queen's light on a lv10 monster and summon both gustav and his long-named companion, giant robo etc...
Destroy all of the protection, deal 2000, then attack with othr 8000 and win.
This is not only for hieratics, though. See trap monsters deck, go into this giant thing with double slime, or even, again, a teched galaxy wizard that searches galaxy queen's light.
I'm actually developing an uria deck, and was thinking of going into giant robo and gustav to do damages and get rid of opponent's nasty S/Ts, I'll play it kinda of chain burn, but with tons of continuous traps that'll let me stall, draw and summon uria that's another giant lv10 monster with backrow-hate effect. Along with the protection given by Imperial Custom, you should have a good deck that can defend itself from the decks of the next meta. Let's say they are:
-Prophecy, they don't have ways to run over 3k DEF or ATK monsters, except junon+power, but defending that card with imperial custom will make them not searching, and then having back their less-than-3000-ATK junon that can be easily runned over by either the XYZs and uria;
-Geargias and deck that use them as engine, as long as we have those big protected walls/beaters, they can do pretty nothing to us. Only exception is from karageargias that go in burei that puts our slime in defense position, making it a "portal" to our life points, but still, with the lots of traps we've got, we can easily defend ourselves from a battle phase;
-Some suriviving inzektors, they'll hornet our slime, but we'll flip our imperial custom, then they'll use the other monster with hornet again to kill our imperial custom;
-Some surviving Wind-Ups, but still few, they are in a great disadvantage, since we'll have big walls that they can't run over, except by suiciding zenmaines;
-Rabbit Laggia, one of our worst enemies, but still, as before, 3k DEF can't be easily runned over, expecially by rabbit laggia. They'll slowly go in big advantages having a great field, so they're the worst enemy for a deck as slow as this.

However this deck can play great side deck cards against those decks:
Rivalry of Warlords, protected by imperial custom, it won't let your opponent go into laggia, leviair, utopia and so on. This crushes Rabbit Laggia, inzektors and wind-ups, while limiting a bit some geargias;
DNA Surgery, I, personally, love this card. Use it against rabbit and they won't go into laggia, use it against geargias and they won't go into burei/bureido/gear giganto/ecc..., use it against prophecy to lock lots of their spells. However, this card will let generic XYZs, so it's not that recommendable, still, it's a good card that doesn't limit yourself;
Vanity's Emptiness, you know I love this card, too. This is not destroyed while imperial custom is on the field, while you can get rid of it with really easily, like going into magic planter or uria. This one kills 'em all, but it's a little more fragile.

Just three random ones, but this deck can play lots and lots of side-deck cards, since lots of them are continuous traps (macro cosmos says hi, too).

Coming back to the card, now that we have double tragoedia, we could use it as generic LV10 monster playable pretty much in everywhere.

What was this post meant to be? Don't hate konami because they gave us gustav only after limiting redmd, but hate 'em because of other tons of bad things, both to TCG and OCG, like summoner of illusion that has tributing as cost in TCG.


Well, this was all. The 10.000 visit count special is finished, but still, I have things to talk about in the next days, and two decks to post. The banned lock, instead, will continue for another week, and then we'll be back with the regular card of the week. Well, Stay Tuned.
