King Tritonus review
Hey everyone! I hope you all
enjoyed your memorial day! we have 4 reviews from
Clash that premiered last Friday. Thanks to WOTC for
once again giving us those fnatastic previews. So we
have another flagship card from the new set!
King Tritonus
Civilization:
Water
Card Type: Creature
Level:
10
Race:
Monarch / Leviathan
Card Abilities:
Triple Breaker (This creature breaks 3 shields.)
Towering Intellect — When this creature enters the
battle zone, draw up to 5 cards.
Constrict — Whenever you cast a spell, target enemy
creature can't attack or block until the start of
your next turn.
Water Monarch — Each of your other Water creatures
gets +4000 power.
Power:
15000
So we have the 2nd Monarch, and
the last Monarch of the set! We recently found out
that we are getting 1 Monarch for the rest of the
block (which is 4 sets total). So Tritonus has a
bunch of effects. Lets break it down piece by piece.
Towering Intellect
—
Woa. What I like about
all these Monarchs is the huge effects that are
immediately present when they enter the field.
Tritonus delivers on that. He can literally be a +5!
(if you choose to) This is generally more advantage
than Infernus The Immolator, on most occasions, can
generate.
Constrict -
So when you compare this ability to The Immolators
passive ability. It's a whole level down. Not that
this ability is bad, but it just doesn't stack up.
Most of the time when you play Tritonus you're
tapped out. However if you are somehow able to stick
Tritonus on the board you can really abuse his
effect. However if you are able to stick Tritonus on
the board you're probably going to win the game
anyway.
Water Monarch -
So like Infernus being the Monarch, all your Water
creatures get beefy. Now this power up is worth it.
Your small little guys get HUGE! get wrecked.
Summary:
Looks like Mono Blue finally got their boss monster
if you can get to the necessary mana levels (8 or
10). His power is huge and he is instant advantage.
So how does he stack up to Infernus? I think they
are powerful on different levels. Tritonus is more
controlling and Infernus is more aggressive. They
are two different beasts and WOTC did a great job
making them unique and powerful. Will this card see
play? Sure will. Will it last? Only time will tell.
The other Monarchs could prove to be even better as
the block progresses.
Constructed 4.5/5
Limited 4/5
See yall tomorrow!
