"You can special summon this card from your hand when you take Battle Damage.This card gains 600
ATK and DEF for each card in your hand.Once per turn, You can send 1 monster card from your hand to the Graveyard to take control of one face-up monster your opponent controls with the same level as the Sent monster.Once per turn, You can select 1 monster in your Graveyard ; this card's Level becomes the same as the selected monster's,until the End Phase"

This Card is alot like Gorz hitting the field after you take battle damage.However, This card doesn't have a set attack,and that's his biggest problem.You can't be sure whether this card is going to hit the field with 2400 or 1200 or even 600,making it just another card that your opponent for the
opponent to run over.So this card only works in decks that are able to maintain large hands or got a very quick draw engine.

First of All Let's Check This Card's Rulings :
Tragoedia Rulings

You still think Gorz is better ?!!! Well Let's have a small Comparison.
- Gorz is Only summoned when you have an empty field while Tragoedia can be summoned whenever you wish.
-Tragoedia gives you great field control...while Gorz only gives you 2 beatsticks.
-If you got 5 cards in hand...Tragoedia can run over Gorz and not the opposite.
-Tragoedia can be abused in many ways as i'll illustrate through this article.

"You can special summon this card from your hand when you take Battle Damage."
This is a -not bad- requirement to summon such a card..plus it allows you to stop your opponent OTKs.Also this allows you to escape Royal Oppressions

"You can send 1 monster card from your hand to the Graveyard to take control of one face-up monster your opponent controls with the same level as the Sent monster"

This effect is so great...It's like having permanent Brain Control with discarding cost instead of burning your life points.You can abuse this effect in synchro summoning. You can also use this effect with cyber valley,I'm sure tributing your opponent's monsters is way better than tributing your own..plus don't forget that drawing two cards would give you 1200 ATK.

"Once per turn, You can select 1 monster in your Graveyard ; this card's Level becomes the same as the selected monster's,until the End Phase"

Another Awesome Effect.If there's something Tragoedia does the best, it's enabling synchro summoning.This card is special summon-able, Brain Control on legs.that can work with Mystic Tomato,Sangan to search out your tuners.even if your opponent got to monsters for you to control.you can just use your own tragoedia in synchro summons..also this effect helps you to escape from "gravity bind" or "level limit area B" and also useful against "Burden of the Mighty"

Ok I like Tragoedia but where can i use this card ?!!
Gadgets : This Card Works Perfectly in gadgets..for the following reasons :
1- you summon a gadget,get another and use it for tragoedia's first effect or keep it to give him higher attack (so no -1s).
2- It can escape Royal Oppression as i've said earlier.

Blackwings : This card works good there too..since Black Whirlwind can always search you 2/3/4 star monsters...giving higher chances to take control of your opponent's monsters.and also your discards will be resummoned using blizzard's effect.

Monarchs : This card works great there.You discard one card to get a monarch tribute...well,you'll also use your monarch's effect..so that's +2 field advantage.

It can be used in DAD Variants too and can be teched in LS,Zombies *Since you already want your cards in graveyard plus you can discard Necrogardna whenever you draw it*.

Nice article,EJ.I like more Trag than Gorz,cuz as u say Trag have more "options".

Subject: Re: [COTW Article] Tragoedia !! Tue Dec 29, 2009 11:10 am

Very smexy article EJ. Lovin' it. FYI, Tragoedia is not better than Gorz TBH but while Gorz is almost mandatory in this meta, Tragoedia is seeing a bunch of the limelight as well. It is best to run both, but I wouldn't ever run Tragoedia before running Gorz. Still, article looks good. 9/10 for the good job explaining both his strengths and weaknesses and giving good examples of where he shines the brightest!

Thanks for the positive comments everybody...and btw yeah surely Gorz is better but i wanted to convince the reader that Tragoedia can be useable in many ways..so i started showing When can he become better than gorz...but defenitely gorz has more OTK stopping potential and it's always +1.

Tragoedia is a lot situational and all his effects above rely on certain scenarios to be worth using, but it's a nice card, not better than gorz but definitely worth using.

Nice Article EJ 9/10

nice article but i dont use it because i always run a small hand

Subject: Re: [COTW Article] Tragoedia !! Tue Sep 07, 2010 10:04 am

Tragoedia is not only useful with a big hand summon it when your opponent finishes attack for bigger advantage than use one his effect and turn the duel around, thats what i usually do. And this is one really old article ash so you shouldn't have posted, it's necroposting and that is considered spam.
