Good card is good, gives more versatility to Inzekters

Bad card is bad and has no place in a competitive inzector deck

I hope you are trolling

All this card does is give them more xyz flexibility. However, the ONLY rannk xyz inzectors need is rank 3. Focusing on summoning any other rank xyz with inzector results in major fail.

1: Summon Dragonfly
2: equip gurufu
3: send gurufu and summon Centipede
4: equip gurufu
5: send gurufu and add either hornet or dragonfly
6: xyz summon any rank 5, and you are ready to start looping again next turn.

I think you missed versatility part....and it also lets Inzekters create stronger first turn plays when there is nothing to destroy. Not sure bout you but opening with Tiras, Adreus or Volcasaurus doesn't seem half bad to me

Insects, my favorite type, have been neglected forever, and now tier 1 Insect deck. Show some respect.

Yeah, it gives versatility, but that is not even needed and adding cards for the sole sake of rank 5 xyz'ing will decreases consistency and take up room that could be used for some nice techs. Sure, this piece of crap gives inzectors more plays, but i'd rather keep the deck 95% reliant on the deadly dragonfly + hornet combo rather than add meh plays that will decrease consistency..

You suck at this game. You REALLY want the deck to rely 100% on hornet forever?

Horrible argument, if you honestly think this then you are completely missing the point of the Inzektors.
Hornet is still much better, Inzektors are first and foremost a control deck after all.
Throwing in crap for the sake of explosive plays and more Xyz options will only make it inconsistent.

Here's my opinion:

If you wanna be competitive and consistant then you should rely only on Hornet.

If you wanna be more creative, have more variety, unpredictable, have more fun and not rely on only one monster then use any possible combo Inzektors have (I'm part of this group).

Lets face it. Competitive Inzektors deck while powerful are insanely predictable and it's only a matter of time before that predictability gets the shit beat out of them.

Summon this.
Use Insect Imitation. Tribute this, summon Dragonfly.
Dragonfly effect, equip Gurufu.
Gurufu effect, Dragonfly becomes lvl 3.
Dragonfly effect, summon Centipede.
*See N's post for rest of combo*

Better yet, Summon Junk Synchron, revive this, go through combo but go ahead and use hornet instead, then just Synchro Summon Underground Arachnid.

Inzektors are NOT control, they are aggro swarm, like Insects are suppose to be.

Yes, Hornet is better. But only running 1 enabler when we got another is stupid and inconsistent.


Put your brain back on yo.

Do people actually know anything about Inzektors?
Gurufu adds consistency to the whole archetype, while also giving you powerful Xyz options like Volcasaurus, Trias and Zenmaio.

Anyone dismissing this card is a fool.

Basically decreases the likelyhood of being stuck with two Dragonfly or Centipede (hate it when that happens) without having to decrease the purity of Inzecters by teching in Armageddon Knight. I love this card.

Thats what I've been saying

People dismissing this card haven't played against people who set little to no backrow. A time where Vulca would rape face.

Miror B. wrote:People dismissing this card haven't played this deck.

Fix'd.
It's the only explanation how they could dimiss this enabler in the first place.

I like it when people make fool of themselves and say "Hornet is better", we all know Hornet is better, no one ever said you shouldn't be using Hornet, but using 1 or 2 of this will make it easier to win

This=Bigger chance of having something that can easy trigger Dragonfly and Centipede=easier set ups=easier wins

It is a fact that it is faster than Arma Knight and is much less predictable

Funny how you can say for a fact that this is faster that Armageddon Knight, even though you have not tested this card because it has not even been released yet. lol @ yugioh community always overrating cards WAY before they are even released.

Inzektors are better blowing stuff up, not focusing on Xyz summoning to rank 5.
They are already good, this is only useful if they ever limit Hornet.

You don't need to play it to see it, in a situation when you would use Arma Knight to dump Hornet, you're basically telephoning your opponent that you have either a Centipede or Dragonfly in hand, therefore they know what to do to stop it, or can remove the Dragonfly before you even get to use it. While for example using This with Dragonfly to summon Adreus/Tirras/Volca or my personal fave Zenmaio can be done faster. Hornet is still much better card but using this won't hurt the consistency

Saying this is bad because Hornet is better is like saying centipede is bad because dragonfly is better.

N Harmonia wrote:Saying this is bad because Hornet is better is like saying centipede is bad because dragonfly is better.

Centipede allows for the combo to work by adding Dragonfly to hand. I wonder if you ever used Inzektors.

Your logic can be applied to this card.

Honestly, I can't tell if that's a compliment or an insult.
It's not really making sense to me.

If you're not using this card, what do you plan to do if your opponent has nothing for you to blow up, or if you don't have a hornet ready?

I think we can all agree that Inzektors biggest problem was that they relied 100% on Hornet. And now we can rely on both Hornet and Gurufu.

Which do you prefer? Only 1 card to set of a loop, or 2?

I'm assuming you and Bunny don't even play with Inzektors, and if you do, you must not be too good with them. Your opponent WILL have cards for you to blow up,you think they won't play cards because you are using inzektors or something?? And if you don't have hornet ready just don't summon dragonfly or centipeed 'till you do have it ready.. And yes, I'd rather keep the deck totally reliant on Hornet, rather than trying to fit in unneeded plays that will decrease consistency.

Vantagesp is absolutely right, Metta is starting to make sense to me...

Yes every opponent that doesn't know how to defend himself will leave you cards to destroy, anyone who has slightest idea on how to play against Inzekters won't give you targets for free unless they can stop you. It's common sense, I really don't get where are you coming from with the decreased consistency, will not decrease it. You're arguments are all fine but you are too narrow minded, or you really think someone would actually give you targets for Hornet without having a back-up. If so quit while you're ahead.

Zero2Hero wrote:Honestly, I can't tell if that's a compliment or an insult.
It's not really making sense to me.

It was neither, my point being that same way Centepede supports the whole deck this card also supports two main parts of it, just like Hornet, and sorry but no deck can be successful if they only rely on 1 card to bust their cambos, having extra options doesn't hurt.

If they don't give us targets to destroy, we'll just attack you.

Can somebody tell me how another card that triggers Dragonfly and Centipedes effects REDUCES consistency when that sounds like BOOSTING consistency?

Also, why does Metta keep saying I dont play Inzektors if I posted both my Inzektor decks AND wrote a guide on the deck?

Zero2Hero wrote:If they don't give us targets to destroy, we'll just attack you.

That's right. Any good inzector player will easily play around an opponent who doesn't give us targets to destroy. You refuse to play many cards? Alright, I'll just use my rank 3 xyz's such as leviathan dragon or Acid golem to beat you down. Then you'll be forced to play cards which I will destroy.

Zero2Hero wrote:If they don't give us targets to destroy, we'll just attack you.

Good point I admit, but what will you do without Giga's? 1000 or 1600 can easily be outmatchedForgot about Acid Golem and Leviath, I mean look at OCG Inzekters are doing well and all but aren't the top deck, one of the big reasons is that knowing how to deal with Dragonfly and Hornet, and take into account everyone and their mother runs Thunder King and Kycoo, and Crevice into different dimension can be found in any Side Deck nowdays thanks to Inzekters. Something that lets you work your Magic without having to rely on your opponent certainly doesn't hurt the deck.

In this case would it not benefit you to have something that will let you summon monsters like Tiras?

I think you and Zero are just fighting against this card too much, you don't have to run it no one is forcing you, you're just to narrowminded.

Heart of Clear Water is what I uses to prevent Dragonfly from being destroyed.
Then I'll finish the monster next turn with Hornet. In the case of Kycoo banish my monsters, Leviair the Sea Dragon is Rank 3, and can just use his effect to get them back.

I like the card and atleast 1 maybe 2 will be in my inzektor deck. I don't understand how there could be such controversy when it's simple mathematics to me. I'll try to lay it out how I see it in a simple and efficient manner.

Things this card would change for the better.

1)First turn I can use damsel eff to get centipede and second damsel in hand.

2)Increase odds of being able to use loop thus decreasing sad times when i have a hand with no hornet and no way to get hornet.

3)Have an option to summon lvl 5 xyz. (though tbh I only xyz in a bind so this has lil effect on me but never hurts to have more options)

I'm sorry but the only bad I can see is I have to try to decide which cards to take out to make room for it.

Its true of any card. Some see potential, some don't. Look at Solemn Warning. Most people thought it was worse than Solemn Judgment, but now its in nearly every deck.



For this card, its a second enabler which doesn't take much to toss into the deck. 1-2 card slots is nothing to argue about unless its the Extra/ Side Deck.

It can set up some nice initial first turn combos that hornet can't, and from my understanding is capable to fetch hornet at the end of it, setting up Hornet next turn.


If your only comparison is it and Hornet, then by that logic no one should run Chaos Sorceror because we now have BLS - EotB, and no one should Judgment Dragon because BlackRose Dragon is much more splashable, etc. (Yes they are sucky examples, but you get my drift)

If your opponent leaves themself open, I see no reason not to loop with Gurufu THEN attack the wide open opponent. You get better results than attacking without looping with gurufu.......

Uhm Kycoo banishes all of your Hornets from Grave, from that point on, it's gonna be hard to recover without drawing into Hornet(assuming you have Centipede/Dragonfly in hand). If you do play Inzekters you should know that outside of having MST(or Heart of the Clear Water) you can't recover at all. Even then if Inzekters can't do their magic for more than 2 turns they will get destroyed.

Using 1 or 2 of these cards even as a tech helps your chances of actually going off. And can let you play some shenenigans with Birdman.

+1 to Predator and Overlord for seeing the point.

Also you can count on an TCG Exclusive Rank 5 in Galactic Overlord

Guys, I really don't see much of a difference between 3 Hornets and 2 Hornets/1 Gurufu. You only need 1 to loop, and Armaggedon usually lets you get that 1 anyway.

Two discussions for two new Inzektors going on at the same time!

But I don't use Armaggedon, I had some bad experiences with him. My deck works better with just Foolish Burial, Sangan, and Pot of Duality getting my Hornets.

Bit off topic here, but Summoner Monk pwns with Lavalval Chain and Arma Knight.

yes 2 at the same time has been keeping me busy lol. I also don't run Arma since i'm crazy and decided to run a pure insect inzektor deck. Probably because i first came across inzektors while trying to make a pure insect deck as my first deck on DN. That deck became my inzektor deck. Currently contemplating changing that though. Sangan would be nice.

Zero2Hero wrote:Inzektors are better blowing stuff up, not focusing on Xyz summoning to rank 5.

- Inzektors spam Rank 5s
- Rank 5s blow stuff up (Adreus, Volcasaurus, Zenmaio)

Therefore, according to Chain Law Inzektors blow stuff up. Your argument doesn't make sense.

Yep probably the only thing I remember from 9th Grade Enriched Geometry.

And here we go again.
This deck had a few problems I wanted fix'd:

1) Lack of a good first turn without Tour Guide and Reaper.
I don't use Armageddon Knight because it is bad. Duality, Allure and Heart of Clear Water will always be superior choices, simply because AK can be blocked by too much, is unreliable, slow and has a terribly weak body (yes, that does count).
Gurufu fixes this problem by giving you a lot of good combos with Dragonfly, Centipede and Heart of Clear Water.

2) Lack of cards to blow up mid-combo.
When I make a Giga-Weevil combo (or Giga-Mantis if you feel like running that card), the biggest problem is running out of targets during the combo. Considering I can flood the field with up to 4 different Inzektors by just using one Giga-Combo not counting stuff like Call of the Haunted, Leviair and Monster Reborn, which can lead into even more cards to be destroyed, I usually can tear through an opponent's field easily but get stuck at a certain point due to lack of targets.
Gurufu can fix that by giving you the option to further run through your combo chains while giving you the ability to summon big and quite powerful Xyz monsters.

3) Consistency.
Even with all the dumping and draw cards, you would get the occasional "Thank you, DN" hand about 1/10 times that is completely useless due to Hornet just not showing up. Ever.
Gurufu can fix that, being a second enabler.

On the whole, yes, obviously Hornet is superior. Big time. But Gurufu does a few things for this deck and it does them well.
Especially for the consistency of the deck, I would run 1. I may run 2, since the first testings on DN have been very promising so far (by proxying it as an Ant).

Sheesh, people these days, being all Srs Bsnss over a card.
