The Tech Genus monsters (T.G. for short!) are designed to help you Synchro Summon the best Synchro Monsters with speed and efficiency. Here are some basic combos to get you started with your own T.G. Deck!
The first step towards mastering the T.G. strategy is knowing that you shouldn’t worry about running out of monsters to attack and defend with. T.G. Cyber Magician, T.G. Rush Rhino, T.G. Striker, and T.G. Warwolf all have an effect that lets you add a different “T.G.” monster to your hand at the end of the turn if they are destroyed. You can Summon or Set them to attack or defend, and then search your Deck for monsters you need for your Synchro Summon combos if your opponent destroys them. There are 3 major combos you can use to start Synchro Summoning right away.
T.G. Cyber Magician has an effect that lets you use “T.G.” monsters in your hand when you use it to Synchro Summon a “T.G.” monster. Normal Summon Cyber Magician, then use a T.G. Rush Rhino from your hand to Synchro Summon a Level 5 T.G. monster like T.G. Power Gladiator! T.G. Power Gladiator is one of three Level 5 “T.G.” Synchro Monsters. It has 2300 ATK and inflicts damage to your opponent even when it attacks and destroys a Defense Position monster. Also, if Power Gladiator is destroyed in any way, even if it’s also removed from play by a card like Bottomless Trap Hole, you get to draw a card!
Special Summon T.G. Striker from your hand, then use T.G. Warwolf’s effect to Special Summon it from your hand as well. Now you can Synchro Summon T.G.Wonder Magician! T.G. Wonder Magician is another Level 5 Synchro Monster. It has 1900 ATK and destroys any Spell or Trap Card on the field when it is Synchro Summoned. LikePower Gladiator, you get to draw a card if she’s destroyed! She’s also a Tuner monster, just like the ever-popular Formula Synchron, and can be used to Synchro Summon during your opponent’s turn!
Special Summon T.G. Striker from your hand, then use T.G. Warwolf’s effect to Special Summon it from your hand as well. Now you can Synchro Summon T.G.Wonder Magician! T.G. Wonder Magician is another Level 5 Synchro Monster. It has 1900 ATK and destroys any Spell or Trap Card on the field when it is Synchro Summoned. LikePower Gladiator, you get to draw a card if she’s destroyed! She’s also a Tuner monster, just like the ever-popular Formula Synchron, and can be used to Synchro Summon during your opponent’s turn!
There’s one more Level 5 “T.G.” Synchro Monster, T.G. Hyper Librarian, but it’s not available for use yet. It’s a 2400 ATK Spellcaster that lets you draw a card each time a Synchro Monster is Synchro Summoned. When it’s available to everyone, one combo you’ll be able to use to Summon it is Normal Summoning T.G. Catapult Dragon, then using Dragon’s effect to SummonT.G. Jet Falcon from your hand. Then you can Synchro Summon.
All of these combos are easy to pull off because any time you have one of the pieces, you can get the other by Summoning a “T.G.” monster with a search effect and letting it be destroyed. You don’t always have to Summon “T.G” monsters though. With a little creativity, you can Summon devastating monsters that no one will expect!.
By combining Elder of the Six Samurai with T.G. Striker (It’s a Warrior Tuner!) you can Synchro Summon Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En. By keeping your opponent locked down with Shi En, you can give yourself a turn or two to prepare your next combo, Synchro Summon Wonder Magician, destroy a Spell or Trap card, and get ready to Summon an incredibly powerful new Level 10 Synchro Monster, T.G. Blade Blaster. Once Blade Blaster is on your side of the field, it’s almost impossible to stop. Next week, you can learn all about how you can dominate Duels with T.G. Blade Blaster, so don’t forget to come back to read more!
