Turn 1 Shi En is getting out of hand.

[󠀡]

I am tired of this bs. It's impossible to play against. I don't care what anyone says. This has been my experience with this card.

Every game with Samurai Six, this card is turn 1 and backed by other cards that negate anything I try to do to deal with it.

Every single time I play, all my cards are countered from turn 1. Then every turn, every card, countered.

Shi En is broken, this whole damn game is broken.

Don't worry they will fade out of existence just like Sylvan and Spellbooks

Just because a card is powerful doesn't mean its broken. It would be broken if, say, a skill existed to make summoning that powerful card insanely easy (looking at you Subterrors).

Shi En's weakness is its low stats. Blue-Eyes and Ancient Gears can stomp right through a Shi En. Even Red-Eyes can crush it if you brute force your way through its effect with multiple spells in the same turn. Just make sure you try and keep only a single card on your field when you do it so you don't have to deal with Dual Wield.

You can also try baiting Shi En's effect. Many people will instantly negate a bait Enemy Controller, leaving themselves open to worse effects.

I have always found Red Eyes a giant pushover deck, too overrated

You could put some effort into trying to counter it. But if that's too much effort for you, I cam show you where the exit is. Just remember to close the door on your way out

I played 3 traps, 2 monsters, and 1 spell... He negated/destroyed them all in the same turn... Now what?

replay please.

You could just use a different deck, idk it might just be me but Gem Knights look like a good work around Shi En's ability

Aka you can spend a bunch of money to gamble for URs.

I have never spent money on this game, in fact depending on event its pretty easy to grind gems

For me, I personally don't think Shi En is the problem, Enishi and Duel Weild are, sure Shi En can negate a trap/spell however, I use Subterrors (currently) and I use their effects to my advantage and Shi En becomes a push over unless of course they have a Duel Weild, because there is almost nothing you can do about it (Same goes for Enishi)

If you are having problems with Six Samurai then I suggest investing in a deck that relies on Monster effects or just slap a few Cipher Soldier in your deck, though this A. Doesn't protect you from Duel Weild nor Enishi and B. Makes your deck have 3 cards that are useless against almost every other deck, with the exception of Neos and in this situation you most certainly don't want to go off against an Amazoness Swords Woman...

Deus X-Krawler (with Power of the Guardians) all but laughs at Six Sam's, leaving Duel-Wield as your main problem.

Really, what more can I do? Shi En is Silent Magician on Steroids. Plus against 3x Legendary Secret Of The Samurai Six and Fuma, that's Turn 1 Shi En consistently. +3 Dual Wields!! WTF

Silent Magician is much easier to kill/flip/banish with the thousands of traps the kill monsters. It can only stop spell cards.

Okay? So is Shi En considering if 1 player has 1 trap set they are bound to have more set, also Silent has its effect which just special summons a Silent Magician which odds are its gonna be Silent Magician Lv 8
