Great Shogun Shien | Decks and Ruling

If you control 2 or more face-up "Six Samurai" monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Your opponent can only activate 1 Spell/Trap Card each turn. If this card would be destroyed, you can destroy a face-up "Six Samurai" monster you control instead.

• 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.

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

• 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.

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.

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.

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.
