Welcome back to another week of Pojo.com's Card of the Day! If you all haven't checked out my channel, please do so! There is new content up and I will be doing a giveaway this week, so stay tuned! Alright, this week is going to be a blast (pun intended)! We're taking a look at some of the new shield blasts from this set. Some you may have already been using and others you may have not considered even trying out, maybe this will change all of that! Today's card will go great in a very creature heavy deck, let's take a look at Reinforce.

Name: Reinforce
Civilization: Nature
Type: Spell
Race: N/A
Level: 5
Power: N/A
Flavor Text: "Kimora not duel alone. Shouter is here." -Mighty Shouter
Rarity: Common
Set Number: 64/110 l 7CLA

Abilities:
Shield Blast (Instead of putting this spell into your hand from a broken shield, you may cast it for free.)
Look at the top 3 cards of your deck. You may reveal any number of creatures from among them and put those creatures into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your deck in any order.

Reinforce is essentially an upgraded version of the old shield blast Breach the Veil which allowed you to look at the top 5 cards of your deck instead and choose any creature to add to your hand. This card decreases the amount you can look at but rewards you with the potential to add three cards to your hand for just 5 mana.

The biggest question on most people's minds tends to be: "Is it really worth it? Couldn't I just tech in Logos Scan or use Reap and Sows?" Yes and no. It all depends on the construction of your deck. If you run a high amount of creatures this card will often get you 2-3 cards, whereas if you run a very shield blast heavy deck, you'll be lucky to get 1 card to your hand.

Personally I feel that this card is designed for Megabug players in mind. Take a look at Mana Tick, it allows you to look at the top 4 cards of your deck and choose a Megabug from amongst them and add it to your hand. This card goes one card deeper and it doesn't matter what type of creature you choose, as long as it, and the other cards you choose, are creatures.

So ideally for 5 mana you are drawing 3 cards from your deck which is actually a step up from Spy Mission or Trial and Error (where you might draw 3 cards, you still get rid of one card). This card allows you to get to your key combo pieces earlier in the game and at worst allows you to set up the bottom of your deck to prepare for later in the game in case it should come down to it. Honestly, it's not difficult in a Megabug deck to cycle through your deck with the effects of Mana Tick and Hive Queen going back to back.

This card can throw your opponent off substantially too. They may have thought that they had you against a wall only to have you refill their hand when you break their shields. The only major downside to this card is that it's a level 5 spell  and your opponent gets to know what's been added to your hand. I would expect to see this card teched in decks in the future, especially decks that rely on Evolution creatures and quite possibly even rush! Only time will tell but this card has a ton of potential!

Ratings:

Constructed: 3.25/5.00 (This card is balanced and has the potential of giving you three free cards. This is the Nature player's equivalent of Logos Scan, Spy Mission, or Trial and Error.)

Limited: 3.75/5.00 (This is one of the closest things you can get to a draw spell in this format. It can be a little slow at a cost of 5 mana, however, it can fully recharge your hand and allow you to get access to those combo pieces you might need to win the game.)

Stop back again tomorrow when we take a step toward the dark side of the force! Make sure to check out my channel for new content and until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
