H. Shot vs. S. Ground

[Crusader87]

Whats a better overall card- Hammer Shot or Smashing Ground, and is there any room left for Fissure?

[Maximillion Pegasus]

This should be in single card dicussion mate.

[Eli the Ocean King]

As of today I'm a patron of fissure. hammer shot is plain bad cause your opponent can book of moon their monsters to save 'em and yours will die instead (some of the time)

2-3 x Smashing
2-3 X Fissure
1 x hammer shot (which you hold in your hand until an opportunity arises that is good for it)

[niXo]

Smashing Ground all the way. Fissure isn't bad anymore (due to restriction of goats) but it still can miss some monsters. Well it also depends on your opponent's deck. Some times a fissure is better than smashing some ground. Heavy Storm affects all monsters on the field, so it can hurt you too, which is bad.

I'd still vote for Smashing Ground.

[BEWDMaster]

i hate to help sicne its in the wrong place but hammer shot has a vary abd draw back .... it works on your monsters as well

[AnArChY_Kn1gHtS]

Smashing Ground since everyone is like running 3 now lol. Fissure is too vulnerable to scapegoat and I'd much rather kill the higher defense monsters since most of the time they are the big monsters that you can never kill.

[govner2_300]

smashing ground its the better card thats it this thread should say smashing ground OWNS HAMMER SHOT!!!!!!


AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE BECAUSE I SIAD SO!!!!!!!


IF U SAY SOUR APPLE IS THE BEST JOLLY RANGER I WILL BE BACK STAGE STAB PEOPLE IN THE JAW!!!!! DANE COOK ROCKS

People like Smashing Ground because it only targets monsters on the opponent's side of the field.

People hate Hammer Shot because it can backfire and end up destroying your own monsters (but who in their right mind would play a card that destroys the highest ATK monster when they are the ones with the higher ATK monster)

Fissure is IMO the worst of the three because it only targets low ATK monsters but still it won't turn around and smack you in the face like Hammer would.

Really they're all good in the right situations. Just use whatever fits your style of play. Like try Hammer Shot for a bit and if you find yourself smacking your own monsters, switch to Smashing Ground.

smashing ground

need i say more

[kenshindies]

this has been discussed over and over again. overall i think smashing ground is better than both fissure and hammer shot.

</spaz> Anyone?

Hammer Shot only affect's monster's in ATK mode, which make's smashing ground so much better.

[Mastastupidfa]

Dark Hole, Obviously.

And well, Hammer is good in stall and such... and I run Hammers and not SMashings, cause i run me a B.E.S. Deck now, killin my own B.E.S. Stuff is alright.

[Black Flame Dragon]

S. Ground is the better of the two, especially in a Horus deck (guess what i use) Horus lv 8 has 1800 defence, so chances are that it wont have the highest defense on the field, and level 6 is completly immune.

[St1ffler]

Smashing Ground all the way. Fissure isn't bad anymore (due to restriction of goats) but it still can miss some monsters. Well it also depends on your opponent's deck. Some times a fissure is better than smashing some ground. Heavy Storm affects all monsters on the field, so it can hurt you too, which is bad.

I'd still vote for Smashing Ground.

You n00b, it doesn't effect monsters.

[Shadowhawk11]

Dark Hole>Smashing Ground>Fissure>Hammer Shot>Lightning Vortex.

[Mj0SkiVeR]

Dark Hole>Smashing Ground>Fissure>Hammer Shot>Lightning Vortex.Yup, you got it. :cool:

*gives Shadowhawk11 a c00kie*

[Blankauctions]

Smashing is obviously better, but i'd choose Fissure over Hammer Shot... But smashings are very hard to find, so i'd just use a Fissure if i wanted removal that bad.

[yata1010]

smashing ground is way betta than hammer shot by a long shot. :)

[Immunity]

This is the order: Smashing Ground > Fissure > Hammershot. I'd run them all at a given time but not in this current format. Id probably run Smashing Ground and Fissure.

[strikedeck15]

Smashing ground works better in most decks.

[CHaOsYaTa]

smashing ground is far far better.

[Lokidawarrior]

are you serious? to humor you, smashing ground, hammer shot is too stiuational, smashing ground on the other hand, smash, smash now!! Hammer shot looks cooler though!! lol why couldn't hammer shot have smashing ground's effect

[yamivash 0]

In my oppionon it goes Smashing Ground>Fissure>Hammer shot there is just waaay to many times I have a stronger monster and I don't want to attack that pyrimad turtle(or the like).

[burntonapike]

hammer shot is usually better in a weenie rush deck b/c you will be running monsters w/ 300-400 attack so it will almost always hit your opponent's monster

[`Phenom]

Smashing>Fissure>Hammer

[Taniya 20]

I prefer Hammer Shot. It shines in my Mystic Swordsman deck, incase people try to trample him before he has a chance to level up. I don't have Smashing Grounds, and I don't really care. Hammer Shot makes up for lack of them.

[corbomb]

I use 3x Smashing Ground, 3x Fissure, but no Hammer Shots because they are too dangerous.

[niXo]

You n00b, it doesn't effect monsters.

My bad, I wanted to write Hammer Shot... It's bad when you duel and read forums together. And you didn't have to write that I'm a n00b as you prob. don't know what that is.

Anyway, I've playtested all of these and I can still say that Smashing's the best. Tho fissure is not so far away anymore.

I guess it depends on your deck.

[nobodys99]

smashing ground

your opponent could just book of moon his monster then yours would be killed

and smashing. your opponent could do any book of mooning he wants but it wouldnt matter

[the_eternal_flame]

Hammer Shots and Fissure are good deck fillers until you get Smashing Ground. Smashing just beats them both, hands down.

[Napoleon II]

smashing ground all the way, fissure being situational, unless you really have a thing for killing reapers...and don't have ten bucks (current e-bay price!!!) for a smash..hammer is for teh newbz
