Notes & Combos

"Oh boy, Penguins! Oh... It's just K9?"

"Yeah it's, K9."

I've been wanting to try out Penguins with the K9 cards because they do have some synergy with each other being level 5's and because the Penguin cards are really cute, and I have to say, it was pretty bad. This is probably worse than pure K9.

The only things the Penguins provide in interaction is banishing your opponents two monsters and giving access to your Synchro monsters. Your main combo would be Jokul and Great Emperor in hand, special summon both, tribute Great Emperor for 2 Penguin Squire's for extra bodies, or 2 level 3 Penguins for Penguin Brave. They can bridge into K9 or make Dragite and Aegirine which are really good. That's basically it.

Here are the issues with deck. All of your Penguins are bricks. If you don't have a way to summon them, via Garden or Jokul, they are DEAD in your hand. Penguin Soldier and Nopenguin are the WORST cards to draw. Not only they don't do anything in your hand, you can't summon it with Penguin Brave because it special summons from the DECK. There's also NO NEED to summon Penguin Brave because you can just summon 2 free level 5 monsters with Emperor Penguin and continue making plays with your Xyz monsters or summoning Aegirine.

I think the worst thing is I couldn't show what the Penguins can do because every single game, my opponent scoops when they see K9. But yeah, K9 hard carried all of my games, with the Penguins just being happy they're there. I could've also tried more searchers or water support, but I wanted a good amount of non-engine to stop my opponent. Hopefully someone in the future can prove me wrong.
