Number 2! Top 10 Cards of 2011

In the second place for this year's Top Cards Countdown is the one and only... Reborn Tengu!

Tengu due to his ability to keep field advantage is an extremely powerful card that has been considered by may to be "broken" while in truth is just... Well it's "broken" but not the unbelievably-powerful-instant-game-winning kind of broken but more of a really-good-card-to-see-in-almost-any-occasion kind. By this I mean (since my verbiage didn't made any sense) that it is not the card that it is not a card that ruins the fun from the game by being extremely powerful but a card that helps you in almost all occasions and in a majority of Decks.

Number 2: Reborn Tengu


Through Tengu is associated with the Tengu Plant Synchro that ruled the top tables since Tengu's release, Tengu is able to help in a majority of Decks like Anti-Meta, Monarchs, random Synchro Decks and many many others. Due to this it resembles me of Pot of Duality that many where calling broken but it is in truth not only a very balanced card but also one very healthy for the game since it helps many Decks and encourages creativity since these cards are generic and not limited to an Archetype. Plants themselves are a proof of this fact (even though I am sick with that immortal Plant Engine, ban Dandylion and Spore and let Plants go to hell, leaving some room for something else in the top tables) being completely independent from any Archetypes while being a highly consistent and powerful Deck.

For these reasons I consider Tengu in one of the most powerful Cards of the year, earning him the second spot in the Countdown.
