We begin our first Countdown with the Top 10 Fusion Monsters of all
time and we begin this list with a fairly new guy; Gladiator Beast
Essedarii.
This card gave to the most timeless Archetype, the Gladiator Beasts, a great boost despite the actual negative stance that many players keeped against him. But why is he good? First of all it makes Gladiator Beast Darius a lot better as he is a salvage for an Gladiator Beast in the Graveyard. Second it is great for sending the weak in terms of Attack and Defence like Retiari or Murmillo back to the deck and summon a strong beater it the field. The above combo especially well with Gyzarus; use his effect then tag out him and summon two Gladiator Beasts from the Deck. Use their effect (you can also summon Darius to salvage one from your Grave) and then send them back to the safety of the Deck to summon Essedarii.
But this card is also a Beast which means that he is a target for Horn of the Phantom Beast, a really popular card since the rise of T.G. that have found it's way to some Gladiator Beast Variants. One of the most interesting was one that used Rescue Rabbit to summon 2 Gladiator Beast Andal in order to summon this guy. Backed up by Horn of the Phantom Beast, Gladiator Beast War Chariot, possibly Skill Drain and a variety of staple defensive Traps this guy is a really tough one to beat!
I am not a Gladiator Beast player myself but I like this guy. It proves, like Elemental HERO Neos Alius, that effects does not matter when the said monster have access to a variety of great cards to support him.
