New Cards Review I

Sorry for the late article, I decided to wait for Zanki but of course Bushiroad didnt revealed it during this week. Time to keep waiting, sigh.

Lets start with the new Grade 1


AUTO (RC) Generation Break 1 [Put this unit into your soul] When another dominated unit attacks during your turn, you may pay the cost. If you do, draw a card, and that unit gets Power+6000 until the end of the battle.

Pretty much the Nubatama version of Jeffrey, with a fitting timing.

Since Madoi’s reveal one of my low-key wishes was to get a clone of it with other grades, and there is it.

While it’s a shame that the powerup its only for one battle, this card have some nice synergy with Zanki, calling it with its skill so that even a 4k trigger called by the opponent would have enough power to attack the Vanguard and force guard.

Nothing much to say after that, pretty handy card considering the how much Soul we are going to use after this set.

And then there is the card that everyone has been waiting for



This card sure make me feel a lot of emotions during the first hours after its reveal.

First I was certainly excited to finally get a G Guardian that gained 10k shield, or on this case 15k, making it an one card 30k shield.

Then I read the skill and get a bit sad that it only gained the extra 10k if the opponent had 6 or more cards, thinking that it should gain 10k and then 5k, because the opponent having 6 cards before the Drive Checking it’s quite the sticky situation.

And finally I remembered that there having been rearguards casually whose power can casually be over 31k lately thanks to some huge powerups...




So while this card isn’t the Vanguard stopper I hope this would be, its still a precious addition to our defensive arsenal.


Now I just hope that they reveal Zanki soon.

L'Express Review: Stealth Dragon, Enbai

Yeah, yeah, Im back. Stuff happened. The important bit is that Im able to write articles again, so lets start my return to shape with the most recently revealed Nubatama card (that of course was revealed like 12 days ago, sigh)



[AUTO](RC) Generation Break 1:When another dominated unit attacks during your turn, this unit gets [Power]+5000 until end of turn.

Pretty simple card...

At first glance we may think "Oh my god it can get huge", and yes, it can get huge, but then we stop seeing the card in a vacuum (because everyone analyzes cards in a vacuum for some reason) and lets think about outside factors:

- Excluding Mujinlord turns, this card most of the time will only get just a single +5k boost due to the other Dominate G-units, because its going to a miracle if this card is on the field the moment you use Oboro's On-Stride Dominate due to so many cards that retire/lock/etc these days.

- About Mujinlord itself, due to the variety of G-units that the clan has, Mujin will exclusively be used as an absolute finisher, the last G-unit that we use, which takes us to the last point...

- The clan already has its fair share of reaguards that gain power when a Dominated unit attacks





And the kicker is, all of them does something more than just gain power. I dont know about you, but I prefer cards that are useful during the entire fight than for just a turn (and even then, there is chance of not having a copy when Striding Mujinlord)

Overall, its a simple card...too simple in comparison to the options the clan already has, but its expected considering that this is third batch of support for Nubatama during this season, which is a miracle by itself.

Atleast is still better than GBT12's Fillerimage support.
