Welcome back my fellow Kaijudo
Duel Masters! In case you haven't been keeping up
with some recently released information, there has
been word of several locations receiving a KMC for
the Fall/Winter season! Most of this information was
revealed on the Kaijudo Dojo page on Facebook, so
check it out and see if your area has been given a
KMC yet! Today we're taking a look at a very
powerful card if used effectively. It can easily fit
into a lot of decks and may just give you the edge
you need in battle! Let's take a look at Freakish
Test Subject!
Name: Freakish Test Subject
Civilization: Water/Darkness
Type:
Creature
Race: Cyber Lord/Chimera
Level: 3
Power: 1000
Flavor Text:
Experiments can go too far.
Rarity:
Uncommon
Set Number:
89/110 l 7CLA
Abilities:
(This card enters your mana zone tapped.)
Slayer (When this creature loses a battle,
banish the other creature.)
Warped
Reality- This creature can't be blocked.
Is it just me or does this card
remind you of "Big Daddy" from Bioshock? As a
Water/Darkness player myself, I was fairly excited
to see more support for the "Blurple" type deck.
This card is basically "Skull Cutter 2.0". They both
cost three mana to play and they both have Slayer.
The biggest difference is that Test Subject is a
Dual-Civilization card and is also unblockable.
Generally I think that Slayers
are an archetype that doesn't get a lot of
attention. They are essentially a removal spell in
the form of a creature. Why wouldn't someone want to
play a potential Terror Pit for three mana? Even if
you start attacking your opponent's shields and
leave your creature vulnerable, it's going to likely
get rid of a creature or resource in the process.
Late game it can force your opponent to use their
removal spells to get rid of this tiny creature,
after all, if you don't deal with it then you won't
be able to stop it from attacking you when you don't
have any shields left!
Let's not forget that this card
is also a Cyber Lord
and a
Chimera! This guy is just screaming to be used in a
deck focusing on both of those races. Hydra Medusa
and Emperor Neuron are great choices to use
alongside this card and it can keep your opponent
guessing constantly if you have either Evolution
creature in your hand.
The biggest downside to this
card however has to be its lower power level. With
only 1000 power it's susceptible to Barrage,
Suffocate, Shadeblaze, and even Heat Seekers. Let's
not forget that if your opponent has out Infernus
the Awakened, you won't even be able to play this
card!
Overall though, this card has a
ton of potential and can freely choose whatever
tapped creature it wants to banish and get rid of it
with ease. I think this card or Slayer decks in
general have the potential to be a competitive deck
given the right person is piloting the deck. Maybe
I'll give it a try myself this week? If I do, I will
post a deck profile on my channel, so stay tuned!
Ratings:
Constructed: 3.50/5.00 (Any creature that goes head to head with
this guy is going down with him!)
Limited:
4.25/5.00 (It's a creature, it's a removal
spell, it's unblockable!)
Stop by again tomorrow when we
take a look at another card that fits well in a
Darkness deck! Make sure to check out my channel for
new content and until next time my fellow Kaijudo
Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
