Card Review # 3: Synchro Fusionist

When I saw Synchro Fusionist at first, I said: Nah, a way to search Miracle Synchro Fusion in order to summon one of those Fusions that need a Synchro as a Material and thus encouraging those semi-anime and totally idiotic decks. But after a look in what it can search you will be surprised by it's potential especially since it is a target for Junk Synchron.


Let's see the targets of Synchro Fusionist's search one by one along with some possible combos:

-Miracle Fusion/Super Polymerization/Fusion Gate
This stuff is awesome! But all these card are awesome in HERO Decks that do not rely into Synchro Summon a lot and if one wants to add Synchro Fusionist in order to search them, he will have to make some huge changes to both decklist and playstyle.

-Miracle Synchro Fusion
 This was the card that Sycnhro Fusionist was designed to work with. Despite having some good combos (for example: Summon T.G. Hyper Librarian with Junk Synchron plus Synchro Fusionist and when Librarian dies use Miracle Synchro Fusion to banish Librarian and Synchro Fusionist and summon Supreme Arcanite Magician),the problem here is that there are no good Fusion Monsters that require Synchro Monsters as their Material that can work with a similiar combo like the above and worth the effort.

-Instant Fusion
This card may do not seem like much but it really pulls some great combos if you used Junk Synchron to Special Summon Synchro Fusionist and then you Synchro for a Level 5 and getting this card. With this you can summon a Level 5 Fusion Monster and use both the Synchro and the Fusion as Xyz Materials for a Rank 5 Xyz Monster. If you haven't take a look in the Rank 5 Xyz Monsters already, I assure you, this Rank has some of the most powerful Xyz: 1)Tiras, Keeper of Genesis is powerful card immune to destruction by card effects plus it destroys a card every time it battles 2) Adreus, Keeper of Armaggedon destroys a card every turn simply by detaching a Xyz Material 3) Number 61: Volcasaurus destroys once per turn an opponent's Monster AND it inflicts damage to the opponent equal to the destroyed Monster's original Attack. And if you happen to have a Level 5 Monster on the field already you can summon Heavy Machinery King Doboku Zaku, a Rank 5 Xyz Monster that needs 3 Xyz Material and every turn you mill 3 cards from the opponent's deck and for every Monster milled you get to destroy a card of the opponent!


-Future Fusion
 One of the best searches of Synchro Fusionist is obviously Future Fusion. This card has so many combos in so many decks I would need a day to describe them all. Some of the major ones:
-In a Dragon Deck reveal Five-Headed Dragon and send 5 Dragons to the Grave. You can send 3 White Stone of the Legend to get a plus 3 or send some good targets for Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon or just send Totem Dragon and use it's effect.
-In a Machine Deck you can reaveal Chimeratech Overdragon and send as many Machines as possible and then use Overload Fusion (also searchable by Synchro Fusionist) to summon Overdragon and perform an One Turn Kill. This combo can be used even further by sending 3 Jinzo-Returners and 3Jinzos to the Graveyard with Future Fusion. With this you will have three Jinzos until the End Phase to negate the back row and deal some Damage (easily an OTK). Unfortunately if you bring Chimeratech Overdragon, he will destroy the Jinzos.
-In an Elemental HERO Deck this is a Foolish Burial that can send a Hero and any Monster to the Graveyard simply by revealing the correct Omni-Hero. I will not tell much for the possible combos here since this will be the base for December's or January's Deck Profile (just a hint: Quasar).

-Dimension Fusion
If you are playing this game for a long time or you have studied the Traditional Format even a bit, you will know that Dimension Fusion is one of the most fatal cards in the History of Yu-Gi-Oh!. Infamous Decks like Dark Armed Return, Diamond Dude Turbo, Dimension Fusion FTK,  Chaos Return, Kuraz-Blade Turbo, The Beginning of the End Turbo and tons of others focus on creating game winning situation through this card. Even though Synchro Summon is kind of limited in the modern Traditional Format (where Dimension Fusion and all these Decks can be used), Synchro Fusionist can be used in order to search for Dimension Fusion with tremendous consistency considering all the speed Traditional Format offers.

All in all, Synchro Fusionist is a seriously underestimated card that can help in searching key cards in many Decks and it can combo really well with Junk Synhron since it gives a instant plus one and can help further the combos.

Thanks for reading and till next time
