Cards to Hold Together

Some cards work well on their own, but work especially well with certain others.

For example: Cyber Dragon and Caius the Shadow Monarch.

People have a tendancy to hold both of these cards in their hand together, instead of playing them separately.

Which isnt so bad an idea, since Cyber Dragon wont be fielded if you do have something on your field, and Caius simply adds to that contingency plan.

What about other examples?

Giant Trunade, the Dark Creator, and Dark Armed Dragon come to mind.

So does Battle Fader and Raiza.

Holding some cards in your hand as a contingency plan isnt such a bad idea.

Any other examples people care to share? Comboes that can be held entirely in your hand and serve as a possible backup plan.

  1. For me and Zombies, it's the Graveyard. A Goblin Zombie (or PSZ) in my hand with a Mezuki and PSZ (or Goblin Zombie) in the graveyard serves as my backup plan when crap fails. Having Book of Life, Foolish Burial, Heavy Storm, Giant Trunade, MST, or set Solemn or Return from DD exhances that security.

    For strictly hand-based purposes, then Zombie Master + PSZ, as long as I already have a Zombie in graveyard. BTH or TT screws it all up though, but then again that can mess up the Cyber Dragon+Caius example too.

  8. Skill Drain and Barbaros. Normal summoning a 3000 ATK monster is a pretty good backup plan.
