Jinzo is a Level 6 monster with 2400 ATK and 1500 DEF that negates every Trap Card on the field. Trap Cards cannot be activated at all while Jinzo remains on the field, so your opponent won't be able to protect himself/herself from Jinzo's wrath. However, Jinzo also prevents its controller from playing Trap Cards. There are two ways to counter this. The first method is using Quick Play Spell Cards which can be used at the heat of a battle. The second method is by using the Equip Spell Card, Amplifier on Jinzo. Amplifier is an Equip Spell Card that allows you to use Trap Cards even when you control Jinzo. Once Amplifier is destroyed, then Jinzo is destroyed as well, so make sure you have a card that will prevent Amplifier from being destroyed.

Then, during the Battle Phase, if this card attacks, and then there are some monsters on your opponent's side of the field, Tyrant Dragon can attack again. Tyrant Dragon has an incredible effect, but to harness all of this power, there must be a price. Tyrant Dragon can only be Special Summoned from your Graveyard by Tributing 1 Dragon-Type monster.

Imagine a monster that you could summon with no Tributes, 2 Tributes, or 3 Tributes. Beast King Barbaros is that kind of monster, and it has 3000 ATK and 1200 DEF. If you want to Normal Summon Beast King Barbaros without Tributing, then its ATK becomes 1900. Beast King Barbaros is still a Level 8 monster when Normal Summoned like this, so XYZ Summoning for a Rank 8 XYZ Monster couldn't be easier. Then, you can Tribute 2 monsters, and nothing happens. Beast King Barbaros is just your typical 3000 ATK and 1900 DEF Yugioh Monster. However, when you Tribute 3 monsters to play Beast King Barbaros, you can destroy ALL cards on your opponent's side of the field without question. Then, Beast King Barbaros can attack directly, and your opponent would lose 3000 life points.
