    Most people don't see the potential of this card for assuming it's only purpose is for a tribute summon.

    Lets get started. Soul exchange

    has been under rated by far to long,
    for only a number of duelist know how
    to exploit and save this card for a crucial
    moment.
    It has the ability to go over almost any
    monster and effect in the game, on the
    counts that it does not destroy but tributes
    the opponents monster.

    Say your opponent has the upper hand
    in field and hand control and you have
    only Cannon soldier and a soul exchange
    Soul exchange, why this card is broken. SoulExchangeSDRL-EN-C-1E
    in your hand, and your opponent has
    1000<, you win the game by tributing on
    of his and your own Cannon soldier, now
    if that doesn't give you a "cu-doz" I don't
    know what will :]

    With the drawback of not being able to
    attack this turn, you can use this fairly
    good in a Rock deck, tribute Hi's monster
    for a Sphinx and start your defense and
    begin your opponents turn with a good
    defense setup <>


    This card cant alone give you control of the field, it has no power by itself, you need something to tribute that monster with, so It's not compatible with all the decks out there IE: Ojama, GB.

    But it can change the game around and in most of the times give you the win.

    For example: In My Frog deck, if you summon Kinka Byo and use it's effect to Summon Substitoad, tribute your Treeborn for a Dupe Frog, use soul exchange on your opponents monster to tribute it with Substitoad for yet another Dupe frog, then tribute Substitoad for a Flip flop frog, now this gives you a defense only limited to, no attacks from your opponent, with aegis of the ocean dragon lord, it gives you protection agains, JD, Rose dragon and even Vortex.

    This defense is only vulnerable against RFG effects like Chaos sorcerrer, or Caius effects, or tributing effects, such like Share the pain or Soul exchange, even Lava Golem and bounce effects. Wich is pretty limited considering the current meta strategies are not in the RFG aggressive side, and more on the swarming side IE: Mezuki, PSZ.

    Now with all this said I hope more people will be aware of the hidden power of Soul exchange.

    It's a good card, but its not the greatest. You can't sync summon with it, you can't attack the turn its used. Its not agressive enough at all. It's good for stall, direct lp and lock decks, but anything else its pretty much a dead draw.

    Well I do get what you see as a dead draw for some decks or if you rely on other means of getting your tribute costs met.

    This card alone will not help you as I mentioned before, but it will help you get over almost any monster in this game.

    I personally use it in My Frog deck only, Beast decks and Ojama don't really need it. You can abuse it in a Rock deck though.

    The way I learned to use it, or more like incorporate it is, Mobius and Substitoad.

    If I have neither I can always summon a Kinka byo for a substitoad for +2 cards and a line of defence to start with a good bounce back strategy.

    There have been times where I have no way of using it at the moment, but if you waited out and have a consistant deck, I assure you, your gonna use it.

    This card, as you said, is great in more of a defensive deck rather than an offensive deck. Decsk like a rock bounce where you can tribute an opponents monster and set a Gaurdian Sphinx. Since you dont need to attack anyway, you have a set monster ready to clear your opponents field of monsters next turn instead.

    Frog decks, again perfect, mainly due tothe fact that frogs are defenders, like substitoad who will set in defence and Special Summon other frogs by tributing things. Since your not going to attack with him the sure, just tribute an opponents monster. Personally, in a pure monarch deck, I believe Brain Control takes the cake as it will let you attack the same turn for more aggression at the cost of 800 Life Points.

    Like i said though, in defensive decks, perfect. I might add this to my arsenal.

    I do think it's already in your LaDD deck isn't it?

    I would think that Treeborn and Soul exchange would be there for a combo for sure Deto.

    Also, Pyro clock of destiny has a place in many decks, specially Soul exchange decks, but thats another topic later in the week
