Thursday 2/28: Street Bouncer In a change of pace from the pattern of iconic, glamorous cards of the past several days, Street Bouncer is a pretty unassuming guy that is part of the Nova Grapplers.  He’s also a card that few people want to pull out of their Awakening of Twin Blades booster pack, at least compared to other RR cards.  Street Bouncer is an 8K Grade 2 that can rest himself alongside another Nova Grappler in the same row in order to let his controller draw a card.  In other words, sacrificing a full attack in order to draw a card.  Now, you might be thinking that this is a relative waste of space compared to the other Grade 2s you could be playing, and you’d be kind of right.  But there are situations where he can be useful, or at least not any worse than another Grade 2.  Let’s say you have way too many attackers on hand, or only weak boosters.  By sacrificing your attack, you can bolster your (much-needed for Nova Grapplers) hand size, and by extension defensive presence, and possibly get yourself one step closer to your next trigger rather than making your opponent ditch a 5K shield or other card they explicitly do not need.  If you wish to control the amount of damage you are dealing, out of fear for a Limit Break or Counterblast ability, or simply to invalidate opponent heals, you may also choose to use Street Bouncer.  And as a Grade 2, Street Bouncer can be easily moved out of the way via intercept (against most decks) when you don’t want him anymore.  If you already have a surplus of attackers in your Grade 2 Nova Grappler lineup and have no other form of utility you may want, it’s definitely worth considering this one. Rating: 2/5 (Playable, definitely, but not optimal for most situations) Art: 1/5 (Looks kinda ugly, to be honest)
