If you think Valentina's attacks may be good, just see how they are when combined with Dry Bones's. Valentina's Drain Beam may be good, but Sacrifice Ally is also good when used effectively. Valentina's Sacrifice Ally and Dry Bones's Reincarnate make an excellent combo in a deck of Air and Evil Energy.

Dry Bones's Last Revenge does a major 50 damage and can be used only when your opponent knocks out one of your Minions. But Dry Bones's Reincarnate is a good attack too. It can bring back a Minion from the discard pile, and all you have to do is discard an Evil Energy. Now that's a good bargain!

When your opponent attacks Valentina, you may have to have her use Sacrifice Ally to remove her damage counters to another one of your Minions and that will knock out that Minion. Some people may find this attack wasteful, but that attack can be good if you have the right cards.

Have your Valentina use Sacrifice Ally when she has damage, and remove the damage counters to another one of your Minions, knocking out that Minion. Use Dry Bones's Reincarnate to bring back that knocked-out Minion and you can repeat this process all over again. So, your opponent will have to face either Drain Beams, nasty Last Revenges, your other Minions' attacks, or the Sacrifice Ally and Reincarnate combo. This should give major troubles to your opponent.

When you use this combo, I suggest filling your deck with Minions with a variety of different HPs, so Valentina's Sacrifice Ally will be easy to use. However, it may or may not be a good idea to use it on an evolved Minion. So I suggest removing damage from Valentina to a basic Minion. Be sure that Valentina has enough Air Energy, and you have plenty of Evil Energy for Dry Bones's Reincarnate. Have Doomship Port, Railroad Tracks, and Honey Syrups to get Energies that you need. Have some Mushrooms or Rotten Mushrooms (I don't suggest Rotten Mushrooms unless you have a hand full of Air and Evil Energy) to restore your Minions' HP, especially Dry Bones's.

Oh, and another thing. Try not to use this combo too much, or else you'll run out of Evil Energy. Unless you have cards that can help you bring back the Energy that you need, like that Doomship Port I mentioned, then don't use this combo much.
