The Six Samurai have awesome search cards that let them get to the right monster at the right time. They also have 1 of the best Synchro Monsters ever: Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En. Extreme Victory brings Samurai Duelists a card that takes both of those strengths to new heights.
Each time a "Six Samurai" monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned, place 1 Bushido Counter on this card. You can send this card to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 "Shien" or "Six Samurai" Effect Monster from your Main Deck, whose Level is less than or equal to the number of Bushido Counters on this card.
Shien’s Dojo helps you get to the monsters you need, and makes it even easier to Synchro Summon Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En. It doesn’t just make Samurai more flexible: it introduces some entirely new combos that didn’t exist before.
For 3 Bushido Counters, Shien’s Dojo will let you Special Summon a monster-destroying card like Hand of the Six Samurai or Legendary Six Samurai – Mizuho. If you manage to Synchro Summon Shi En on your first turn, a second turn Hand or Mizuho can destroy whatever your opponent tried to defend with and clear the field for your attack. Getting 3 Counters on the Dojo means you’ll have to make 3 Summons, but cards like Legendary Six Samurai – Kageki,Legendary Six Samurai – Kizan, and Double-Edged Sword Technique make that easy.
3 Bushido Counters would also let you Special Summon The Six Samurai – Yaichi, which can destroy 1 of your opponent’s Set Spell or Trap Cards each turn. Or you can Special SummonSpirit of the Six Samurai. Spirit can equip to a Six Samurai to increase its ATK, protect it from destruction, and give it an extra cool effect.
If you can Summon 2 Samurai with Dojo on the field, you can use it to Special Summon the Level 2 Tuner Kagemusha of the Six Samurai. Before Dojo, you usually needed Kageki and Kagemusha in your hand to Synchro Summon Shi En. Now, you can use Kageki to Special Summon any other Samurai, get your 2 Bushido Counters, and use Dojo to Special Summon Kagemusha straight from your Deck. That lets you Summon Shi En at times where you wouldn’t be able to Summon him otherwise. But that still takes 2 Samurai…
With Shien’s Dojo, you don’t even need 2 Samurai in your hand to Summon Shi En! Instead, you can Summon a Level 4 Samurai like Kizan, add just 1 Bushido Counter to Dojo, and then remove it to Special Summon the Level 1 Tuner Shien’s Squire. The Dojo Summons “Shien” monsters as well as Six Samurai, so you don’t even have to draw 2 Samurai anymore to make your fiercest Synchro.
Shien’s Dojo makes the Samurai Deck more flexible, more consistent, and makes it even easier to unleash Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En. It also gives you another way to stack up Bushido Counters, opening up more moves with Gateway of the Six and helping you get that 4-Counter Samurai search effect. You’ll find the Dojo – and more powerful Samurai cards – inExtreme Victory.
