this card is so underrated these days, so i tought why not bringing him up..

i saw this card and i tought, hmmm in what kind of deck could it be usefull? a deck wich needs their dark monsters to be normal summoned.. OH i KNOW!! Gravekeeper's! since you got your 2K beatsticks and your gonna summon them, why not destroying an extra card they have? remember that the card's effect is Optional, so it can miss timing on some occasions.

for example with Tour Guide.. if you have Crusher and you summon Tour you need to choose which effect you want to go off.. so its effect cant me used in all cases.. hmmmm

and then there is this deck: Crapzektors O.o srsly i really dislike those insects, but for those who like them, try using this card.. lets say you got crusher on the field and you just enter your main phase.. together with that crappy Dragonfly, Hornet, Centipede combo you get to destroy up to 3 cards your opponent controls..

of course there are much more decks which this card could work in but esspecially this format, these 2 decks were the best ones i could think of.. if you run a deck which runs alot of Dark monsters in general i should reconsider smashing in this card..

what do you guys think of this card? worth running or not?

Blackwings and GK is the best place for it imo. It's a decent card, and would be better in a slower format which we desperately need. Right now it's kinda "eh", but can be a decent tech in some decks. It's fun to set it, let the opponent hurt themselves trying to get over it, then summoning a beater for a +. I wouldn't advise it in Inzektors bc they kill stuff effectively enough already.

very nice tech, didnt see that card since i was watching genex monsters
Only 1 thing makes it slow, first you gotta set it and opp to atk so flips up, or u gotta normal summon it and wait till next turn to activate its eff, kinda slows down your tactic dont u think so?

the card may be slow, but in my deck builds i play with 13-19 traps, so its a decent card.. to be honest i wouldn't run it in my aggressive fast decks.. but idk how you guys play your decks so.... its all up to you guys

i got to know only you super aggressive decks with not even 1 single trap xD
Yea if it fits the build, it will sure be a very good tech

Perhaps I should have been more clear. It's not as good this format bc the format is too fast and control isn't as viable. Tht doesn't mean it's a bad card or control is bad. Control is my favorite kind of deck and IMO the smartest way to play. Which is why I hate this f'd up format that makes you chuck skill out the window for luck-based derpiness -.-

^agreed... i could totally see this guy in game all the time 2-3 formats ago

Since you brought this up i have a few questions :

Does it EVER miss timing? Like if u summon tour guide etc bw - gale, caius, and other cards idk atm :3

Well, since Normal Summoning doesn't start a chain, the only way I could think of this missing its timing is if you normal summoned via Ultimate Offering, and it was CL2 or something. If you Summon a monster with a trigger effect, Crusher will just chain to it.

I like this card. I pulled a bad hand once in DN rated and got trolled by it.

ahh ok, i thought :
summon tour guide, special summon sangan or w/e, then genex ally crusher misses timing cuz last thing what happened wasnt the normal summon but the special summon of sangan

it only misses timing when a monster summoned to your field has an optional trigger effect (do they call it like this?) for example, u have crusher and you summon tour guide
Here the effects:
Tour guide-When this card is Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon 1...
Crusher-Once per turn, when you Normal Summon a monster with this card's Attribute, you can select and destroy 1

You can only activate 1 of these effects because they have their timing, when 1 is activated you cant chain the other because it is optional and after the one has resolved, the other misses timing to be activated, because the last thing that happened wasnt normal summoning of tour guide but special summoning of the monster with tour guide

yep, so i was right :]
