Яeverse Chronicles: Demon Marquis, Amon "Я"




Card Effect:

[ACT](VC) Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you have four or more damage):[Choose one of your «Dark Irregulars» rear-guards, and lock it] This unit gets [Power]+1000 for each «Dark Irregulars» in your soul until end of turn. If the number of «Dark Irregulars» in your soul is six or more, this unit gets [Critical]+1 until end of turn. This ability cannot be used for the rest of that turn.
(Locked cards are turned face down, and cannot do anything. Turn them face up at the end of its owner's turn)
[CONT](VC):If you have a card named "Demon World Marquis, Amon" in your soul, this unit gets [Power]+2000.
[CONT](VC/RC): Lord (If you have a unit without a same clan as this unit, this unit cannot attack)

So this is my first post... my name's Kagene, and I'll be in charge of the Яeverse Chronicles, a series of articles that revolve around the units that have been corrupted by Void. 

This card is a crossride of Demon World Marquis, Amon, a card found in BT03: Demonic Lord Invasion, which was later reprinted as an SP in BT12: Binding Force of the Black Rings.

Amon Яeverse's Limit Break is a very useful one. Most of the time, you would choose to lock your Vanguard booster, since Amon gains power from each card in your soul, plus an extra critical if there are six or more cards in your soul. With the amount of support the "Amon's Follower" archtype has (eg. Amon's Follower, Hell's Draw and Amon's Follower, Heal's Deal), I doubt you will have any problems reaching six soul. 

Tips and Tricks
1. Calling Dimension Creeper onto a rearguard circle and using Demon World Marquis, Amon's Counterblast to move it into soul and retire an opponent's rearguard, then soulblasting it to soulcharge 2 more cards.
2. Combining Doreen the Thruster's and Amon's Follower, Hell's Draw's or Amon's Follower, Hell's Deal's skills to power up, since Doreen gains +3k for each card moved into the soul during your main phrase, making her a 12k booster/attacker.
3. Soulcharging in Demon World Marquis for the instant 13k base. This is pretty self-explanatory, and is extremely useful as it allows you to conserve hand and gives you ample time to set up a good attack formation.
4. Using King of Masks, Dantalian's Breakride skill to make high-powered rearguard columns. This strategy relies more on skill, as I find myself much closer to decking out when I use Dantalian.

However, if you are unable to control the soul properly, you will find yourself decking out alot. The trick that I use is to soulcharge just enough to hit a magic number, and then start pressuring your opponent with Amon Яeverse's Limt Break. 

In conclusion, this has got to be one of the most pressuring Яeverse units, with a counterblast-less cost, power (and crit) gaining skill and a 13k base (if you manage to get Demon World Marquis, Amon into your soul).

I hope you found this article useful, and all the best for the WGP Qualifiers!

Kagene, out.
