As the champion was playing Six Samurai, I felt it was appropriate to name a card from their pool as the Card of the Week. Everyone, meet my friend Legendary Six Samurai - Kageki!
This seems pretty straight forward, and for anyone that has played with or against a Six Samurai deck knows that this card can be quite a little bugger. Let's dissect this guy and see what makes him great. First, he is 3 stars. This puts him in an obvious combination with Kagemusha of the Six Samurai, who can Tune out for Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En. Now, the best part is that Kageki has an effect which can automatically bring in a Kagemusha (or any other Level 4 or lower Six Samurai monster), which can often spell disaster for an opponent. Now, even with the compatibility with the main tuner, and the good special summoning effect, it gains 1500 attack points as long as another Samurai is on the field! This card is amazing, and is an obvious play maker for the deck.
With the second YCS victory in a row for the Legendary Six Samurai (3rd total for Samurai), many people are talking about a new limit to the deck. I for one feel that it is completely unnecessary. There were only 2 Samurai decks in the top 16. That is only 12.5% of the top field. Gravekeepers saw much better representation, and nobody is complaining about them. Samurai have been balanced out with the limit of Gateway of the Six. However, if a limit were to happen, it would be to Kageki. The card just makes it too easy to summon Shi En.
