Cannon Artillery, like the Three-Eyed Monster, is also an Ancient God Card included in the early God Card Pack [VOL.6] (November 18, 1999). Because the launch of its effect does not have a one-turn restriction, but also can directly reduce the opponent's health effect, so it has always been favored by many card guys in OCG, but limited to the suppression of the era and the K Society, before the appearance of LINK Big Brother Fire Dragon, Cannon Gunner can only be said to be a dragon running set character in the history of the game king, and is a dead running dragon set. At that time, no one could imagine what kind of light this card would shine in 20 years.
In 2000, limited to the card pool at the time, this card could only be developed in a way that could only be used to assemble sacrificial monsters as effects through cards from the Scapegoat and other derivative series. However, under the OCG rules of the game King, the player's LP is 8000 points, even if there is a cannon artillery station in advance, and the scapegoat is successfully launched for 3 consecutive rounds, 12 scapegoats can only hit 6000 damage. Therefore, at that time, the blood-cutting card deck with cannon artillery as the core did not have too many bright performances, even if some players wanted to develop FTK, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
Cannon then joins the Dark Grand Mage deck of the Three-Eyed Monster and the Black Forest Witch, as cannonballs can send monsters into the graveyard as a medium to trigger the Three-Eyed Monster and Black Forest Witch retrieval effects, and then win a duel by gathering the Dark Grand Mage. Thanks to the extremely slow environment at that time, the achievement rate of this deck was surprisingly high, and it also attracted the attention of many card players at that time, and eventually even alarmed the K Society. The Three-Eyed Monster and the Black Forest Witch were thus modified by the K Society, and the Dark Grand Mage also gained the fine tradition of the total limit of 1, and because the Cannon Artillery was only a dead dragon set in this deck, it was not targeted by the K Society.
In 2003, the Magic Scientist card appeared, the Magic Scientist can summon a large number of monsters from the extra deck, and in the absence of over-summoning at that time, the monsters pulled out of the extra deck by the Magic Scientist are very suitable as the price of the monster effect of sacrifice. But we all know by now that the monster card that was more suitable for magic scientists at that time than the Cannon Gunners was the Catapult Turtle. The role of poor Cannon Artillery in this deck is more often than not, after launching a last word, sacrificing himself to pull a magic scientist from the deck or catapult turtle to appear.
In 2009, a deck called "Final ShovelIng Earthworm" was born. The core play is through the High Ritual Technique, which sends 2 Insectoid monsters from the deck to the graveyard, ritually summons the Ultimate King Dimis, and then unleashes the Dimis effect to destroy all cards on the field except Dimis at the cost of paying 2000 health points. The player then excludes 2 insectoid monsters in the graveyard as a price, and specially recruits demon shovelers with an attack power of up to 2800 points.
After that, the Demon Shovel Worm is equipped with a huge equipment, so that the attack power of the Shovel Worm rises to 5600 points, while the attack power of Dimis is 2400 points, and the total value is exactly 8000 points, and the direct attack can complete the OTK. Because of the lack of destructive patience cards at that time, the OTK achievement rate of this deck was also exceptionally high. The Cannon Artillery was added to this structure because he could sacrifice the insectoid bones on the sacrificial field to provide special moves for the shoveling insects, and was still a small and inconspicuous character overall.
Dimis and the High Ritual Technique were restricted one after another, but the Cannon Artillery was still at peace, just in time to print the sentence that the sky fell, and the tall man stood first. Then in 2014, the game king entered the era of the pendulum. Because the Pendulum Summoning can summon a large number of monsters in one turn, and the sacrificed Pendulum Monsters will enter the extra deck, which can still be recycled in the next turn, so that the Cannon Artillery can lose 2000 LP for each other in a stable 1 turn in the Pendulum Deck. Coupled with the K Society's use of the new master rule to forcibly reduce the speed of the environment, this set of construction also had the power of a war at that time. But even so, the number of people who use it is very small.
In 2018, the LINK era came, the fireproof dragon big brother turned out to be born, and the cannon artillerymen who ran the dragon set for nearly 20 years in the game king finally waited for the stage to make them shine. At that time, the effect of the Fire Dragon did not have a limit of 1 time per turn, and its 2 effects did not have a special restriction on summoning Electronic Realm Monsters. This allows the Cannon Gunner to send the monster at the end of the Fire Dragon connection into the graveyard, which can trigger the Fire Dragon 2 effect, allowing the player to summon a monster from the hand to the field and continue to provide ammunition to the Cannon Gun.
[Fireproof Cannon] This FTK idea was built and formed in many different ways at that time, and the most concise and silky at that time was the combination with the A-Assault Core card. The A-Assault Core's 3 effect is to add 1 Allied Monster from the Graveyard to the hand when you send yourself from the field into the graveyard. In this way, as long as there is 1 assault core in the cemetery in advance, then when the assault core on the spot is sent into the cemetery, you can choose the assault core of the cemetery to add the hand card. Then the Fire Dragon 2 effect summons the salvaged assault core to its own connection end, and the artillery sends the assault core to leave the scene, and the exit assault core and then take the assault core of the graveyard can complete the perpetual cycle.
Because this structure is simple and simple, but it is also very lethal, the K Society sent the Cannon Artillery into the Small Black House on July 1, 2018. Although this time it was banned, it can be largely understood as blocking the knife for the big brother fire dragon, but there is no doubt that it is also the moment when the Cannon Gunners are canonized. Because since then, the monster effect of the type of monster represented by the cannon soldiers, such as "no number limit, sacrificial monsters deduct health points", after 20 years, has finally begun to be valued by the K Society, and then the K Society's extermination of related monsters has also provided important evidence for this, and it is the Cannon Artillery that has contributed to this change.
"I don't want to be trampled under my feet for the rest of my life, you think I'm a stinky runner." I've been waiting for 20 years to wait for an opportunity, and I'm going to take a breath and prove that I'm naturally talented and how amazing I am! "——The cannon gunner who ran hard for 20 years!
