Greg's Review:

Intro: " I can bring out some good cards"

Well hi all and I hope you had a good MTKD AKA Martian Luther King Day!!! Well at least there was no school. And this weeks cards will mainly be Searching week, so what I did is take some popular searchers and make them the cards. I think some have gotten better and others are not as good as they used to be.

And now on to today's review:

Mystic Tomato:

Well this card was never that popular here, mainly the place you would see it was in an exodia deck for the fact of speed card advantage and the possibilities of getting a Witch or Sangan to get an exodia piece. Then in July with the release of Don Zaloog this started to see some play in serious tourney decks even outside of an Exodia deck it was playable and quite good I shall say. Some played it and others hated it. But then in August when the World Champion played 3 of these it increased it's popularity quite a bit. It even made me try 3 of these and it worked for me ( I side deck them for depending on who
I am playing) But this card was and still is underrated for many reasons. There is just so much you can do with it. This is just as easy to get stuff as a witch or a sangan IMO it can be better because you can summon it.

Well it is good because it can get out:

Witch

Sangan

another Tomatoes

Don Zaloog

Spirit Reaper

Pro's

easy to get (TP4 common) (MRL rare)

good to get out most popular cards

SPEED

Summons to the field not hand (could be both a con and pro)

Con's

cannot get out a lot of other popular stuff but it is still great non-the less.

has to be killed in battle

lots of stuff to get rid of this ( exiled D.D warrior lady, NOC lots more)

Overall: Well if you play witch sangan or Don need some speed to get them out need card advantage then this is for you, finding 3 cards to take out can also be hard but the sacrifice will be worth it when you get out what you need when you need it. If it is not killed via a monster than it sucks and was a waste but not every card is the best

Draft: 3

Tourney: 3.5/5

Casual: 4.2/5

Japan: ( nick sry I took your idea :-) 4.1/5

Nick's Review:

Personally I don't see the big deal with this card. Sure you can get Don which most people get with it. The only real deck it belongs in is in a Exodia deck because it can get witch and sangan. The downsides are that it is special summoned in attack mode and it has to have <1500 atk.
Pros
It can get dons, sangans,witches and reapers.
Cons
Too weak
Has to be summoned in atk mode
Has to have under 1500 atk.

Casual A fun card to play
3.0/5
Tourney Not such a wise choice 2.5/5 Average
Draft 1400 atk isn't bad and who doesn't like free summons 3.0/5
Art A killer tomato OMFG actuall the jap pick is better.
Us 3.25/5
Jap 4.0/5

Knocked out's Review:

It seems as if we are doing "How to get monsters out from your deck" Week. Lets first see this guys effect.

Dark/ Plant, Level 4, Rare in MRL, Common in TP4
Effect: When this card is sent to the Graveyard as a result of batle, you may select 1 DARK monster with an attack of 1500 or less from your deck and Special Summon it to the field face up in a Attack Position (no tribute is required for a monster level 5 or more). The deck is then shuffled.

Pros:
Can attack under Messanger of Peace
Can bring out witch, sangan, reaper, don, cliff, newdoria, giant germ, another tomato, and much much more.
level 4
Dark
Witchable and sanganable

Cons:
Weaker stats
Has to bring in attack mode

This is one of the most broken down monsters in the game. Right now, he is the most popular one of the 6 guys that bring out monsters like that, second being shining angel, third probably giant rat. This guy is more along the lines of being played in a hand destruction deck, dark deck, zombie, and fiend.
The reason for hand destruction and zombie is so it can bring out your spirit reapersl. In a fiend, it could pull you a giant germ, if you play them, or a sangan or witch, but thats usually true in any deck. And in a dark well....just cus it is and it might help.
Some of the best things to do with this card is if you have 2, give one to your opponent somehow by means of Creature swap, or mabey they can reborn it or something. Then summon your other one and suicide it and you can have 2 new monsters on the field.
1400 attack isnt really all that bad but at least it's worth the benafit. You could always slam it into other stuff like Don.
This card is not a force to reacon with, lets put it this way. If your opponent is playing one, dont let them have one of your monsters kill it. They just thin the deck and get something that will save them.

Casual- 4.5
Tourney- 4.2 (If your in the dark theme, hand destruction, or fiend, play one or two, they work)
Draft- 3
Artwork- 2 (really this card looks more like something to pull a plant out of the deck. I think fiend decks REALLY would have loved it if it was some kind of fiend. Really the only one i think that makes sense in all of those is Shining Angel just because it is Light and a Fairy)

Mikhail Kroik's Review:

Mystic Tomato

This card is good if you have low attack monsters you want to summon with no tributes but other then that I don't like this card since the monster must be summoned in attack that could be annoying.

But after all it's a free summon i'll give it a 2/5 since it's not good but not bad.

2/5

Foozerkadoozer's Review:

Wow! my first card of the day! Well any way here is my review: Well first off I think the name shouldn't have been changed from killer tomato to mystic tomato, but thats ok. I realize that the soccer moms have to win some times. OK, well, I really think this card is awesome. Period. You can get some mad speed with this Vegetable seriously. Bring out Don Daloog, cannon soldier, newdoria, ALL of the dark scorpions except for gorg, etc.
This tomato is red,
and when it is dead,
bring don zaloog out with a BLAM!
and there goes their hand.
I give mystic tomato a well deserved:

tourney: 3.8/5

casual: 4.1/5

draft: 2.9/5 (not very good unless you draft a don zaloog or something like that)
-the fooz is here to stay

Keith's Review:

Useful cards this card can get out:Another Tomato, sangan or witch,cannon soldier, don zaloog, a card to use for the Chaos monsters( IoC, coming soon to a store near you *wink* oh don't I make the best salesman) other that I can't think of right now. Overall, the good,
+new monster that you get
+deck thinner
+trade bait
the bad,
-1400 atk ain't worth beans, and definatly not worth premium beans
and the downright ugly
-Oh no, a veggie, they've taken over our decks, ahhhh!
-tomatoes are evil

Anyway, this card works wonders in stall decks and control decks, as Don is a main source of removal. Not much to say.
Overall this card gets a 3, because veggies are nasty

3/5

Robert's Review:

Pros:

-Adds speed to almost any deck...
-Gives monster advantage...(In ways)

-Dark...

-Thins deck out...

-Self Summon able...

-Get's under Messenger Of Peace...

Cons:

-It's effect requires it to destroyed in battle...

-It summons monster's in attack mode...

-Doesn't get under gravity bind...

-Easy to get rid of with NoC or any mon. removal...

-Thins deck out... (It can be bad, It can be good, deck out... But rarely happens...)

Hey this is my first card of the day... So be nice to me... Okay... I guess this is a good card to review... Mystic Tomato... I run a yata-lock deck... And currently I have 1 in my deck and 1 in my side deck... It works really good... I mean in decks for just dark monster's it works best... But in decks with many dark mons. like mine, it works well... I think that if u actually get it's effect off, u might be able to summon more beasty mons. to kill ur opponent... But before u reserve slots in ur deck, look at the down-sides... This cards effect only happens when it's destroyed in battle... This mons. can eaisily be destroyed by many mons. removal card... Plus this card can really thin out ur deck... Overall, this card... Since I run it, I have to give it a 3/5... It can be very effective it u get the effect off... Well that's it for today...

So thanx for reading... Peace...

3/5
