Why does evenyone run a jinzo in their deck. the card is good but aint that great?

Question

the effect is nice to have but, mostly everyone i know runs it. so can anyone give me a better reason to run it

Answer 1

in My opinion Jinzo is one of the best cards in the game,it can negates traps,its 1 tribute with 2400 attk,Dark Attribute.This cards messes up duelist a lot.Jinzos a game winning,trap stopping,lockdown causing,beatdown,last resort,stalling type of card.One of the most Annoying cards you could ever face.

But it can also mess you up,thats the only flaw...it also negates your traps......Unless you have Amplifier! =]

Amplifiers effect:

Equip only to "Jinzo". While this card is equipped, the equipped monster's effect does not negate the effects of its controller's Trap Cards. When this card is removed from the field, destroy the equipped monster. This card's activation and effect cannot be negated.

Answer 2

Basically the answers above are good reasons why. Combine it with Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 (option to negate spells) and you have field advantage. I just got a Jinzo from Gold Series and it made my deck complete...

Basically, it's a Monster Staple, like Lighting Vortex (spells) or Dust Tornado (traps)...

Answer 3

I don't run Jinzo, but that cause i rely on traps to much, but i have counters for Jinzo so it doesn't bother me, but still 24 atk and traps can't be used is a very good cards. and most people would be fools if they didn't run it.

Answer 4

There are many reasons to run Jinzo. Here are a few:

1. It now has a preform and an evolved form (Jinzo - Returner and Jinzo - Lord)

2. It is DARK. (DARK decks)

3. It is a machine. (Limiter Removal)

4. It has 2400 ATK and more than 1000 DEF and an effect (great for a Level 6, and better stats thn the Monarchs.)

5. It stops stall decks from working (who doesn't like that?)

6. It was once Limited! (that's how good it is.)

7. It negates Traps and stops traps from activating. (They can't activate Skill Drain or Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror now)

8. In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series, it had the power to automatically destroy any obscure internet references (including "Peanut Butter Jelly Time").

9. You can activate Crush Card, tributing Jinzo - Returner, getting rid of all the opponent's monsters with 1500 ATK or more, summon Jinzo with Returner's ability, then tribute Jinzo to special summon Jinzo - Lord, then activate Bait Doll, forcing him to activate a Continuous Trap (if you're lucky), then destroy it with Jinzo - Lord to deal the opponent 300 damage. With that combo, you can totally s***w up an opponent.

See? I've just come up with 7 good reasons. I certainly wish I had 3 Jinzos, but I don't even have 1.

Also, I hope your next question isn't "Why is Light and Darkness Dragon semi-limited? It's good but not that good," or something to that effect.
