Name:
Balesk Baj, the Timeburner
Cost:
9
Race:
Armored Wyvern
Civilization:
Fire
Type:
Evolution
Rules Text:
Evolution-Put on one of your Armored Wyverns.
Whenever this creature is attacking your opponent
and isn't blocked, take an extra turn after this
one.
Double breaker
(This creature breaks 2 shields.)
At the end of your turn, return this creature to
your hand.
Power:
8000
Mana Number:
1
Artist:
Kou1
Rarity:
V
Collector Number:
4
civilization: Fire now starts the trend of skipping
the opponents turn, but not with out a price.
Effect: The effect is meant to be a game ender, and
for a good reason too. The lowest costing
armored wyvern right now is the 3 cost cutthroat
skyterror, the speed attacker with 5000 power but
can't hit players. So if you want to play this
straight from your hand your looking at spending 12
mana. See why you have to end the game there? Once
the effect gets going though and you can keep
summoning this guy you can see why the game is over.
Taking another turn is just evil. And being able to
take up to 2-5 extra turns is something your
opponent won't be able to come back from easily. The
problem though is getting an attack off to trigger
this guys effect.
Combos: The attack problem? Not a problem when you
have 17 mana on turn 9. How do you get 17 mana turn
9? By playing mondays card Mana Bonanza turn 8,
jumping you from 8 mana to 16, then you play your
mana for the turn making it 17. Why would you need
17 mana when you can bring this out for 12? Remember
the fire super rare from base set, scarlet skyterror?
well with 17 mana you can summon scarlet, destroy
their blockers, then evolve and get a straight
attack off. And every turn after, seeing as your
opponents not getting another turn soon.
Cost: it has to be 9, any less and it could come out
too early.
Race: Lots of support, with 12 non-evo wyverns to
choose from.
Constructed: 4/5 If built in a deck based around
this guy. with natures growth you should be able to
play this before turn 9, should also be a fun deck
=)
Limited: 1/5 cost too much and wyverns are hard to
find.

Very Rare
Oh man. This card...Until now, I always thought Duel
Masters would avoid such strong effects. I think,
once this is released, I'm going to be using a
Diamond Cutter deck, stuffed with blockers.
Limited: 1/5 (no other Wyverns)
Contructed: 5/5

Race: Armored Wyvern

Rules Text:

Double breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.) At
the end of your turn, return this creature to your
hand.
Power: 8000
Mana Number: 1
Rarity: V
Cost: 9 mana for a card that returns to your hand. A
little risky, there.
Power: 9 for 8000, not quite 1:1000, but it can
attack the same turn it's brought out
Effect: Interesting ability, attack and get an extra
turn if it's not blocked. I can see why it returns
to the hand, now.
I'm assuming that both cards return to your hand,
since its an evo. If this wasn't an evo, this card
would be very lethal.
Constructed: 3/5, awesome effect, but it's high mana
cost hurts it usefulness.
Limited: 1/5, not enough evo-bait for it.
