Yodin Zaku is a powerhouse of a summoner card.

Its three powerful abilities lend it the potential to demolish all opponents in its path.

• All friendly ranged attack monsters have +1 ranged attack
• All friendly monsters have +1 health
• All friendly monsters receive the blast ability at the start of the battle

Yet despite its considerable advantages, there is still room to counter it on a budget.

The first step is to nullify Yodin Zaku's blast ability with reflection shield which accepts zero damage from blast, magic reflect, thorns or return fire.

The second step is position a card with the taunt ability next to the card with reflection shield to control where most of the attacks are directed.

This results in a lineup similar to the following.

Below we have an example of this lineup being effective versus Yodin Zaku:

Here is another lineup which succeeds without the benefit of the taunt ability:

It is always a good feeling to defeat high level summoners with basic cards.
