Chainsaw Insect

Chainsaw Insect
****
Earth
Insect
2400/0

When this card battles a monster, your opponent draws a card.

Everyone has looked for the new Chainsaw Insect. Then, once the set came out, it went downhill in popularity taking into it's effect of letting your opponent drawing a card once it battles a monster. This was said to give your opponent big hand control. But with a 2400 ATK with 4 stars, who's complaining? After all, there are things that can either eliminate his side-effects, or even help you!

Chainsaw Insect + Protector of the Sanctuary: Protector of the Sanctuary doesnt let your opponent draw a card outside of the draw phase. This cancels Chainsaw Insect's side-effect. Situational none-the-less.

Chainsaw Insect + Skill Drain: Skill Drain cancels the ability of all effect monsters on the field at the cost of 1000 Life Points. This card also negates Chainsaw Insect's ability.

Chainsaw Insect + Appropriate: Whenever your opponent draws a card outside of the draw phase, you get to draw 2 cards! Even though your opponent draws a card, you get to draw 2 CARDS! Can anyone say, "Hand Control!"?

Chainsaw Insect + Null and Void: When your opponent draws a card outside of the battle phase, Null and Void makes your opponent reveal those drawn cards, or just card in this situation, and your opponent has to send it to the graveyard.


So what's your opinion on the big, bad, Chainsaw Insect?

This post makes me re-think chainsaw insect.

[hipaul]

i agree w/ hidys
appropriate...
i never knew such card existed!

[wickedclown13]

Yeah chainsaw insect is a good card it as alot of combos to go with it so and he named off some good ones to chainsaw+apporite best combo with it

[War_of_Chaos]

Its definitely the best of the hight atk 4 star monsters IMO.

[Necrofear]

yep, followed by slate warrior, beserk gorrilla, zombyra the dark (argueably), sdm, and archfiend soldier/insect knight.

[fusionfan]

you might even use this effect to make your oponent run out of cards by putting it in a deck with needle worm and the like

[DH2K5]

Just remember, your opponent will only draw a card if Chainsaw attacks a monster, if Chainsaw attacks your opponent directly, they're down 2400, and they don't draw a card.

[War_of_Chaos]

And play some robbing goblins or Don and they have an increased chance of discarding that card.

review from my card of the day:

"todays card is chainsaw insect, this is of course one of the many insect cards within this set and its going to soon be everyone's best friend. 2400 attack for a 4 star!? thats crazy! then once fighting it causes your oponent to draw a card, that is both good and bad. Gives your oponent drawing power but also decreases the size of his deck. Chainsaw insect is also succeptable to tsukoyomi with its 0 defence but who cares he has 2400 attack!? this 4 star can take out jinzo,mobius, cyber dragon whatever is in a CC deck tribute wise this is going to kill it.

overall ratings

traditional: 4 out of 5
advanced: 5 out of 5
overall: 4.5 out of 5

final thoughts: good plain and simple"

[Tanis.]

its also kinda smashing ground immune. with 0 def. it would have to be pretty much the only faceup on your field to be targeted.

[yo shorty b]

It's use is to bomb Mobius, Cyber, Jinzo.

[K_Guy]

Well, would use it as it is with no combo. In my deck, i try to thin out my opponent's deck until nothning is left. BUt the combo with Null and Void is pretty good.

[Tre Dom]

the Chainsaw Insect + Appropriate combo is really cool. I didn't think of that. I might have to throw in the combo.

[dox]

do this in combo with infinite cards on the field

once the opponent has so many cards in hand use card destruction in combo with coffin seller. that outta do some damage as a side effect to the chainsaw insect's effect.

[Syandrious]

YAY lol. out of all the insects, hes my second favourite. my first would hafta be the 1900 beatstick, Insect Knight.

[Dekzter]

ya i thought chainsaw insect sucked but now i c these combos and i think its an ok card in the right deck

[Marzbar]

I love chainsaw insect. Great card.

[Makeveni]

i played this card many many times.. use:

x3 giant turnade
x3 complusory devise
x3 dust tornado
and finaly x3 chainsaw insect... this card can end the game in... 3 turns.

[Neo_Vorse]

a decent card....

[Karma]

It is a useful card in a Skill Drain deck,a deck based around him,or maybe even a deck running 1 of these combos.But i nsaw a deck running 2 for no reason.I loved suiciding a Sangan into it early game.It shouldn't just be thrown into any deck.

[Neo_Vorse]

definatly a must for insects i would say

[Ilpala271]

I use him in one of my casual decks. Then again the point of the deck is to kill through Greed. It may not be a good thing with other stellar monsters like Sasuke Samurai #3 and Hiro's Shadow Scout in the lineup

[Marzbar]

Chainsaw Insect is an AWESOME card.

[Dekzter]

hes useful with protector of the saanctuary cause then ure opponent cannot draw outside the drawp hase so ha try and draw now bi..... ill stop there

[Merlin]

Thanks for the combos, I've started using Chainsaw Insect in my Silent Magician Deck and it's been working really well.

Combining it with Appropriate will do wonders. Definitely, a great card.

[bhim]

It's a staple in Exodia Turnarounds, beatdowns, and deck destruction.

[GreenDragon]

Chainsaw Insect + Skill Drain

This would work out very well.. Only 1000 lp.

You can pound your opponent for 2400, destroy there monsters. And they will still not draw a card. And if they have "Cyber Jar", "Morphing Jar", "Man-Eater Bug". Facedown and it gets destroyed by Chainsaw Insect it's effect is still negated.

Like I said.
Chainsaw Insect + Skill Drain
^Awesome Combo^

[zenonzenon50]

Chainsaw Insect is a good card it works well in Skill Drain add in some Goblin Attack Fore and Goblin Elite Attack Force and you got alot of attack power.

[Kishi_No_Ryu]

I've only used Chainsaw Insect in my Silent Magician deck, where it's kinda key to have on the field. Haven't tried it out in anything else.

[sangajin]

i just splash him in a deck thats in need of a little beatdown.

[Bandalf1224]

The best deck you can put this in to is a Skill Drain deck. Chainsaw Insect is a great card, but you can't just build around that alone, which is why Skill Drain is perfect. Add a Draining Shield to put your life points back on top and destroy any weak monster in a heartbeat. I love Chainsaw Insect and I hope it stays strong for a while. ChildOfTheAtom, you get a...GOLDEN MILKSHAKE for writing something about one of my favorite cards!

[Dekzter]

or u could play it is as a equalizer on big monsters like jinzo and they get nefx

[Ikke]

I am going to use this in an Earth Beatdown deck. Together with Goblin Attack Force, Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei, Toon Goblin Attack Force and Goblin Elite Attack Force. And don't forget the main card Skill Drain!

[cal]

I hope this card makes a huge impact.

[torrag]
