Pros

  • Good ATK and DEF stats.
  • Limits opponent’s Spell/Trap activation.
  • Can be special summoned if you control 2 or more face-up “Six Samurai” monsters.
  • Can use other face-up “Six Samurai” monster you control as substitute should this card be destroyed.

Cons

  • Can be quite challenging to Special Summon.
  • Requires 2 monsters for a Tribute summon.

Tips, Related Cards, Rulings

  • This card goes along very well with The Six Samurai - Yaichi, by Normal summoning Yaichi x 2 or another Six Samurai monster, you can Special Summon Great Shogun Shien from your hand. Furthermore, Yaichi can proceed to destroy your opponent’s set Spell/Trap x 1 per turn.
  • When the situation no longer requires Yaichi (or any other Six Samurai monsters), you can allow them to be destroyed and sent to the graveyard, to setup enough Six Samurai monsters to be banished, in order to Special Summon Enishi, Shien’s Chancellor.
  • You can use powerful Spell/Traps, such as Enemy Controller, Super Rush Headlong, Wall of Disruption, Mirror Wall to protect your Six Samurai monsters, since they cannot attack if they used their effects.

Archetype Synergy

These are the Six Samurai that has their own set of effects for different purposes. Amongst those who stand out are Zanji and Yaichi, where Zanji destroys the monster it battles after the Damage Step, and Yaichi can have a devastating synergy with Great Shogun Shien, whereby Yaichi destroys 1 set Spell/Trap once per turn, and Great Shogun Shien limits opponent’s Spell/Trap activation, effectively crippling your opponent’s backrow.

Speed Summon

If your “Six Samurai” monster was destroyed by battle, you can Special summon 2 “Six Samurai” monsters from your hand, then you can Special Summon Great Shogun Shien from your hand.

If you summoned a level 4 or lower “Six Samurai” monster, you can use this card to make a duplicate of that monster, then Special Summon Great Shogun Shien from your hand.

Coupled with “Aroma Strategy” Skill, you can use Hazy Flame Sphynx’s effect to Special Summon Great Shogun Shien from your hand or graveyard.

Backrow Starvation

These are the combos that synergizes with Great Shogun Shien’s effect, together they effectively cripple your opponent’s backrow and limits their choices of Spell/Trap activation.

Not really. They are missing a lot of their support cards. Grandmaster, cunning of the 6, smoke signal musakani Magatama. But of course if all that was in there then they would be OP

I don't know bout you guys but I think Hazy Flame Sphnyx can get this big boy out even faster than the condition of having 2 "Six Samurai" monsters on the field.

OG Six Sams barely don't even make presence on meta in 2007. Only Legendary Six Sam was great at its time. Just stay cool cuz CA will keep being the top tier deck until it be hit by banlist or powercrept by something else in the future.
