D-Boyz In Da 'Hood

D-Boyz In Da 'Hood







If you are not aware yet, Konami has announced another TCG exclusive in
addition to Alexandrite Dragon and Wind-Up Zenmaines called D-Boyz.



As
you can see, D-Boyz's picture is quite odd. It features three people
who appear to be from the "Ghetto." I feel that this type of artwork is
something Konami would not make due to the name and appearance not being
"kid friendly" or "child appropriate."

Onto the
actual card. D-Boyz is a Level 1 Dark Fiend-Type Monster with 100 ATK
and 1000 DEF. It has a Flip Effect in which you can Special Summon up to
two D-Boyz from your Deck, but you take 1000 damage for each 1. It was
obviously designed for making Rank 1 Xyz's such as Number 83: Galaxy
Queen and Baby Tiragon. However, these monsters aren't worth the effort
put into summoning them. And to top it off, D-Boyz is a Secret Rare that
requires a playset to properly use. In my eyes, this was a poor attempt
to promote Rank 1 Xyz's.

The only use I can see
for this card is in Mystic Piper decks. First, it's another level 1
target for Piper and Kinka-Byo. Second, it's a Dark monster to fuel your
Chaos boss monsters. Finally, it easily fills the Graveyard for cards
like Pot of Avarice.
