Welcome back everyone to Pojo.com's Card of the Day! We have a very special card for you all this week so make sure to stay tuned for a Shattered Alliances exclusive! To get things started for the week, let's take a look at one of the promos from the set premiere of Clash of the Duel Masters, Fault-Line Dragon.

Name: Fault-Line Dragon
Civilization:
Fire/Nature
Type: Creature
Race:
Armored Dragon/Earthstrike Dragon
Level:
6
Power:
5000
Flavor Text: "Life is an endless cycle: destruction prompts rebirth."
Rarity: Promo
Set Number: P3 l Y2PRM
Abilities:

(This card enters your mana zone tapped.)
Sword of Outrage-
This creature can attack tapped creatures on the turn it enters the battle zone.
Sword of Reaping-Whenever this creature wins a battle, you may put the top card of your deck into your mana zone.

Fault-Line Dragon is a mixed version of two cards: Tatsurion and Razorhide. When it enters the battle zone you're able to attack tapped creatures, think of it like "Mediocre Attack" as opposed to Fast Attack! Then when it wins a battle you have the option of charging a mana from the top of your deck.

For a Fire/Nature combo I would have liked this card to have a little more power to back up its effect. 5000 power doesn't get you as far as you would like to when your goal is to take down your opponent's creatures. The mana charge ability is nice but by turn six or seven when you're using it, it just loses its luster. If this cost four or maybe even five mana it may have made a little more sense... but I guess they need to be able to keep good ol' regular Tatsurion around.

In an aggressive deck that punishes players for attacking with smaller creatures, this card puts in a ton of work. However, when you're dealing with most of the other decks out there, there just tends to be creatures with 6000 or higher power that can easily dispose of Line Dragon but hey... it's not his fault! The other issue is that "Blind Ramp" cards don't give you control of what you charge to your mana zone. They are easier to achieve, however, you end up charging your Infernus or Root Trap that you needed then you're up a boat without a proverbial paddle. Until we get a card that allows us to manipulate the mana zone, this card won't be on the top of everyone's list. 

Ratings:

Constructed: 2.75/5.00 (A decent card but I think I would rather stick with Tatsurion. He's able to trade off with Lyra and other commonly played cards.)
Limited: 4.25/5.00 (The only way this could even be played in a limited format would be the set premier. In that situation, this is a great card that can get you to your bigger dragons quicker and take down your opponent's smaller creatures with ease.)

I hope you enjoyed our very short week of reviews! You're going to want to make sure to stop by next week for sure as we may have something special in store for you! What you may ask? I guess you'll just need to stay tuned to Pojo.com for more reviews! Make sure to check out my channel for new content and until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
