Hello there my long lost Kaijudo followers! It’s been one heck of a week! I got back from the Winter Championships and had an amazing time! I did rather well for my first championship showing and earned 9th place, my only losses were to Carl Miciotto and Tom Rogers who got second and third place respectively. I may have not won the event itself but I did walk away with the “Spirit Award.” This was given out to players in the community that create a positive environment for the game, positive sportsmanship, and just generally enjoy playing the game. With this amazing prize, I was also given an Almighty Colossus Artwork signed by all the members of Wizards of the Coast R&D as well as an iPad mini! It was such a great weekend and I enjoyed meeting all of the other fantastic players out there in the community! Also, I would like to wish everyone a belated “Happy Thanksgiving” for those of you who celebrate it. Let’s continue my top ten list with number six, Victory Gunner.

Name: Victory Gunner
Civilization:
Fire/Nature
Type: Evolution Creature
Race:
Stomper/Beast Kin
Level:
5
Power:
5000
Flavor Text: N/A
Rarity: Rare
Set Number: 80/80 l 10INV
Abilities:
(This card enters your mana zone tapped.)
Evolution- Put on one of your Stompers or Beast Kin.
Reload- Whenever this creature becomes tapped for the first time each turn, untap it.
Mana-Charged Rounds- Whenever this creature attacks, you may put the top card of your deck into your mana zone.

Victory Gunner is a very interesting card that gives aggressive players another tool to play around with. It’s a level 5 and evolves on top of a Beast Kin or a Stomper, it’s really your call as to what you use, but it increases the playability of the card solely for that reason.

It does only have 5000 power but has an amazing ability to go along with it. Each time it attacks you have the option to charge the top card of your deck into your mana zone. Whenever he becomes tapped for the first time each turn, you get to untap him. That means that Victory Gunner can attack twice per turn while boosting you up an additional mana each time!

The biggest issue I see people having with this card is that it’s not Bronze-Arm Sabertooth. Sabertooth has more power and will give you two free mana if it dies anyway, so why not just use him instead? Honestly, I don’t disagree with this; however, the versatility of Victory Gunner puts him an overall higher level of playability. You don’t have to worry about your opponent dropping a Lyra on your Gunner, he’ll simply untap. You don’t need to worry about Stormspark Blast ruining your day, cause Gunner will untap as long as he hasn’t already attacked. Also being able to potentially attack over two creatures and giving you two free mana in the process in pretty crazy in itself.

Let’s not forget that Victory Gunner is a level 5. That might not seem like much at first, until you realize you can’t use Bone Blades to deal with him. If you have a Piercing Judgment handy, they’ll likely be able to replay him again the following turn since they just ramped up on his previous attack(s). There aren’t a ton of solid answers to deal with this guy, much like Vicious Squillace Scourge. So unless you run cards like Tornado Flame or Grip of Despair, you may need to wait around for a Terror Pit or Root Trap, but by then it may be too late!  

Constructed: 4.00/5.00 (A great card for aggressive players that can be used alongside Bronze-Arm Sabertooth and can get you ahead of your opponent by multiple turns.)
Limited: 3.50/5.00 (In limited it can be a game changer, you just need to get out the right evo-bait and you’re golden!)

I hope you enjoyed today’s review! Stay tuned for number five on the list! Make sure to check out my article on Alter Reality Games every Monday! Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
