Welcome to our Thursday rendition of Pojo's Card of the Day! Also make sure to check out my channel for some recently uploaded content! Today we're taking a look at one of the Choten's right hand men, the one, the only, Aqua Seneschal!

Name: Aqua Seneschal
Civilization:
Water
Type: Creature
Race:
Cyber Lord
Level:
3
Power:
2000
Flavor Text: "What kind of creature betrays his own kind?" Bob asked. "One of the smartest," Seneschal replied.
Rarity: Common
Set Number: 36/165 I 3RIS

Abilities:

Choten's Advisor- Whenever this creature attacks, you may draw a card.

If you come from a game like Yu-Gi-Oh! then when you first saw this card you were shocked. It attacks and I get to draw a card? No fooling?! Yeah, honestly it is that good! Seneschal only costs you three mana to cast him and by turn four most people tend to either have a wide open battle zone to attack or they have a piece of removal so that they can swing freely and draw that extra card!

2000 power is appropriate for a Level 3 creature but becomes even better once you get a few swings in with this guy; he just generates advantage. You can even wait for your opponent to attack you with a smaller creature and next turn you can swing over or trade off with their creature and still benefit off of it.

It also helps that Seneschal is a Cyber Lord. He's able to get a boost from Finbarr if you use him and he can evolve into Emperor Neuron or Axon with ease! The biggest issue that he faces is removal. Just about every piece of removal will get rid of Seneschal and he's an obvious target for players. The longer he remains in the battle zone, the more likely you are to win.

There's not much else to  say about this card, it's a staple in just about every deck that runs the Water Civilization. He may see some less play once Infernus the Awakened hits the tournament scene but until then this guy will continue to see tons of play!

Ratings:

Constructed: 4.25/5.00 (An amazing card! The only reason it doesn't get a perfect rating is that it can die to just about anything and you have to wait a turn to attack with it.)

Limited: 4.50/5.00 (In Limited he allows you to get to your combo pieces and answers quicker with each shield or creature he takes down.)

Tomorrow's card isn't a traitor like Seneschal per se, but I could see how some people could get the two confused! Until next time, keep calm and game on!

"What kind of creature betrays his own kind?" Bob asked. "One of the smartest," Seneschal replied.
Hi, and welcome to another Kaijudo CoTD! Today’s card is…Aqua Seneschal(アクア執事)!
 
Civilization: Water
Card Type: Creature
Level:  3
Race: Cyber Lord
Card Abilities: Choten's Advisor — Whenever this creature attacks, you may draw a card.
Power: 2000

This card reminds me of two similar (yet very different) cards form Duel Masters: Hypersquid Walter in effect , and Aqua Hulcus due to its popularity and lasting impact. Aqua Seneschal takes the best traits of these two cards, and as a result has become a complete powerhouse! It allows you to generate a continuous stream of card advantage while also attacking. The 2000 power is very helpful against Rush, and its Cyber Lord race makes it even more flexible. Any deck that uses Water should have this card! The only problem is that you must attack to use its effect which may be a bad thing in some situations.

Pros: Continuous draw power
         Rewards attacking which makes it great for Rush
         Good race

Cons: You must attack which might not be a good idea in some situations

My Rating 4.25/5.00

Aqua Seneschal review:

 

Alright! Time for another COTD. This time the card defined the Rise format and still has a heavy presence in this Evo format. Let's check it out!

 

Aqua Seneschal

Water

Cyber Lord

Cost 3

Power 2000

 

Choten's Advisor — Whenever this creature attacks, you may draw a card.

 

Straight forward effect as they come, but sometimes simple is the best. This card allows for agression and maintains advantage. Aggressive players run this card to keep hand advantage, Control players run this card to stop opposing Seneschals, pretty much any deck running Water runs this card in 2-3's.

 

So it already has great things going for it being a cheap costed body that replaces itself on the attack. But lets top it off by being a Cyber Lord and make it primary evolutions card an essentially upgraded version of it! Let the salt pour!

 

Summary:

In all seriousness, this card is great and will continue to see play as long as something like Duel Masters Aqua Hulcus doesn't come back! Hopefully Cyber Lord support will continue to be printed and this card will just continue to get better and better!

 

Constructed: 5/5

Limited: 5/5

     Welcome back to Pojo.com's Kaijudo Card of the Day section! We are looking today at Aqua Seneschal. Aqua Seneschal is a water civilization monster that is level three and has 2000 power. Aqua Seneschal has an ability called Choten's Advisor that allows you to draw a card whenever Aqua Seneschal attacks. 

    While not an over all game ender, this card has some distinct advantages. An early drop in water civ that isn't a blocker, and allows for some card draw. Whether you only ever draw one or two cards is irrelevant, you are gaining vital cards with which to gain advantage. 

     At such an early drop, you will likely be able to draw two or three cards before you really have to worry about losing the Aqua Seneschal. But at such a weak power, other civilizations low cast monsters could handle Aqua Seneschal with ease. Take advantage of the card draw while able, and don't worry too much if he dies, he will have served some greater purpose. 

Limited: 4/5
Constructed: 4/5
