Evaluation

Rating7.5/10

Pros

  • Attack is high due to its effect when summoned.
  • It can protect other cards from being destroyed due to its effect.

Cons

  • Defense is low which makes it susceptible to attack when switched to defense position.
  • It loses 300 attack when you use its effect on other cards.

Tips

Attack Boost

Card Guard will have 2400 attack when summoned along with Mystic Plasma Zone Field Spell Card. The defense decrease doesn't matter since Card Guard has a low defense to begin with.

Toon Kingdom

Card Guard would be a great addition to Toon decks since it can protect cards from destruction. Toon Kingdom is the most important card on Toon decks and Card Guard give it an added protection while having a beater on the field.

Card Guard

You can use Card Guard's effect to other copies of it. The attack of the copy will increase up to 2200 and will have the added protection from being destroyed. It can also swap their Guard Counters so both of them can have 1900 attack and protection from getting destroyed.

Gemini Monsters

Card Guard is a nice support to Gemini Monsters since it can give them survivability and time to gain their effects. These 2 cards benefits the most since once they are removed from the field, the monsters that is summoned by their effect will be destroyed.

^ That still suffers from ANY staple that does not destroy. It is also only effective when another card is in need of protection, as it does not protect itself. Its a beater by itself.

It's a bad 4 star beater that can't attack on his first turn and you have to sacrifice a counter in your and your oppent's standby phase for as long as he's on the field

Its effect is optional though. Also, if you have 2 Card Guards on the field (yes, situational, but still worth noting), you can use them to swap Counters: that way they stay at 1900 (until protection is used) AND gain protection.

magic reflector will help you nothing in a toon deck cause Floodgate Trap Hole will shut toon monster down for ever

Pheonix decks still shut that down. Even if Phoenix is flipped face-down, the ignition effect still chains and destroys.

And so it begins, 1900ATK monster incoming...
