What's up, Rogue Squad?! To wrap up this week's Card
if the Day, Saikyo once again used another trick of
mine: take a random card that doesn't have anything to
do with the theme of the week, and review it on
Friday...
Leading Jewel Knight, Salome
Power: 10000
Grade 3
Clan: Royal Paladin
Race: Elf
[AUTO](VC) Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you
have four or more damage):When this unit attacks, if the
number of rear-guards you have with "Jewel Knight" in
its card name is four or more, this unit gets
[Power]+2000/[Critical]+1 until end of that battle.
[ACT](VC):[Counter Blast (2)-card with "Jewel Knight" in
its card name] Search your deck for up to one card with
"Jewel Knight" in its card name, call it to (RC), and
shuffle your deck.
...essentially, this is the poor man's Majesty Lord
Blaster as it has almost the same effect, but it's only
active during your turn and you essentially need a full
field to even consider pulling off this effect. Luckily,
the Jewel Knight subclan is actually pretty decent at
calling cards from the deck to the field, and Salome has
an effect like that herself. At the cost of 2 Especial
Counterblasts, you're allowed to call any Jewel Knight
from your deck to the field. Admittingly, this is a
rather steep effect as it's expensive in both quantity
of Counterblasts and the fact that you need it to be
Jewel Knights. With that said, is this all worth it? In
a tournament structure, I'll also admit that Julia is
better, and we also have Ashlei "Reverse" coming out
that'll more than likely make Salome obsolete.
She's not a bad card (as being able to hit for 3
damage while they're at 3 is pretty hilarious), but
there are, and going to be, better options than her, so
make sure to leave a spot in your binder for her in the
next few months.
Rating: 2/5
Art: 2/5
Next Time: Trees...?
Go Rogue...Go Pro!
...and DON'T be a Sackboy!!!

Leading Jewel Knight, Salome
And we wrap up the week with a card that’s only here
because I couldn’t think of a suitable Grade 1 we hadn’t
reviewed yet. Leading Jewel Knight Salome can
counterblast 2 Jewel Knights during the Main Phase to
call any Jewel Knight from the deck. And on Limit Break,
when you have at least 4 Jewel Knight rear-guards, she
gains 2k and a Critical until the end of the battle.
Late Game Critical sucks stamp GO
Now that’s out the way, let’s move on. Counterblast 2
for +1 is basically a more efficient Alfred. A nice
trick to have upon Jewel Knight’s debut, but it’s not
something you really want in the face of game-enders
like Descendant, Raging Form etc. kicking about. A
consistent field just doesn’t cut it in this day and
age.
She’s okay, but dull.
2/5
P.S. In hindsight, I should probably have started with
Roman. There was more to talk about there…
