Duel Masters: Individual Card Discussion

7/10 for me. i see you already are making use of the card I gave you. ;) I like how much strength he puts in as a blocker, but he nonetheless does have his limits.

 

[Mullet]

I had to make a lot of edits to that post, now that it's all fixed up, read it again.

The reason why mine was higher is because it is a strong blocker, and it's 6 for 9000, that's 3 above it's summoning cost.

 

[Pogiforce-14]

nonetheless, a blocker is still a blocker, and therefore can only reach a certain level of potential. That's why I rated it the way I did.

 

[Mullet]

True, but think about it more, anyway it's your week, and if you can't do it then Kenny can.

 

[Pogiforce-14]

Avelanche Giant. 6 for 8000 double breaker. Nature. If he becomes blocked while attacking, you may break one of your opponent's shields.

 

[Mullet]

Good one, only you spelled Avalanche wrong.

I really do like this card, and want one for my Mono-Nature deck, he's like an uber Candy Drop or Farie child, and can kill their blocker, so it's two in one, and if they don't block he breaks two shields, yay for him, he gets a 9/10.

 

[Kenny_C.002]

lol a trampling maniac! But 6 for 8000 double breaker with the ability to trample through monsters to land a shield should have some sort of a drawback?

9.5/10

 

[Mullet]

It does, Kenny, T-Pit, Death Smoke, Telaportation, Spiral Gate, and other destruction, and bounce cards.

 

[Kenny_C.002]

No I mean it has no intrinsic weakness right. Not bad at all. :)

 

[Pogiforce-14]

The only weakness I see in him is his attack strength. There are quite a few monsters out right now that are stronger than him, especially for a super rare. My very own deathliger, although one mana slower, is a thousand points stronger. just an example.

 

[Kenny_C.002]

I'm not sure on the average mana-to-power ratio is, so I thought 6 for 8000 is pretty good (in comparison to the older cards out there). I guess that's the weakness then.

 

[Pogiforce-14]

It is still descent. There are just stonger creatures than him out is all.

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Well you're trading power for a trampling effect, which does make him seem fair in that sense.

 

[Mullet]

Well, he's the only creature of his type, that means Nature is special, yay!

 

[Pogiforce-14]

no, it means avelanche is special. I doubt they'll be making any more like him anytime soon. In Dm, that sort of effect is deadly.

and there is still a downside to his weakened strength, because that means it's easier to kill him. Meaning he probably won't get to do much anyway. And he still can't win the game by his trampling effect. he can only break the shields that way.

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Still, he's a very powerful 4th turn drop if you ask me. The game can turn ugly when you start swinging on the 5th, for sure.

 

[Pogiforce-14]

4th turn? You need to recount. He's six mana. Eveen with two Elf X on the field you wouldn't be able to summon him till the sixth turn. :\

 

[Kenny_C.002]

You sure? 1, 2nd turn mushroom, 3rd turn tribe, 4th turn beast (exactly 6 mana on 4th turn).

 

[Mullet]

I played it out, and Kenny is right he is a 4th turn drop at the earliest, the if you use one Elf X he becomes a 5th turn drop, and at the lastest he's a 6th turn plus drop (depending if you draw him late, is when he's more than a 6th turn drop).:D

 

[Kenny_C.002]

I like elf x's, but I don't they they belong in rush decks that would use this guy, personally speaking.
