Hello there my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters! Today we're continuing our look at my top ten picks from Invasion Earth. Today we're looking at a card that can prove to be a major pain if you're playing a rush or aggressive deck. Let's take a look at number eight on the list: Major Ao!

Name: Major Ao
Civilization:
Light/Fire
Type: Creature
Race:
Skyforce Champion/Drakon
Level:
5
Power:
4500
Flavor Text: N/A
Rarity: Super Rare
Set Number: S7/S10 l 10INV

Abilities:
(This card enters your mana zone tapped.)
Blocker
(You may tap this creature to change an enemy creature's attack to this creature.)
Fast Attack (This creature can attack on the turn it enters the battle zone.)
Into the Fray- Whenever this creature wins a battle for the first time each turn, untap it.

Major Ao is one of the more aggressive cards we've gotten as a Super Rare in a while. He's a level 5 Skyforce Champion and a Drakon, so there's plenty of room to play around with this guy since he falls at the low end of the curve for Skyforce Champions and the high end of the curve for Drakons.

He has some very unique abilities, including both Fast Attack and Blocker! What makes things even better is that the first time that he wins a battle, he untaps, much like Tatsurion the Unchained from the Rise of the Duel Masters set. Let's not forget that this only specifies that it has to win a battle and it doesn't have to be through an attack. That's right, he can block, banish a creature and untap to block one more time as well!

When you combo this card with the other Skyforce Champions you can come up with some pretty ridiculous moves. Imagine if you have out Starlight Strategist already and you summon Major Ao. You then get to tap a target creature and then you can feel free to swing over it with Ao and untap again so that you can be ready to block during your opponent's turn.

Probably my favorite combo is using this card alongside Twilight Commander. If this card has been tapped already due to an attack, you can swing in with Twilight Commander and untap the Major since he has less power than Commander! This can set you up for numerous attacks in a turn... don't even get me started with Jurlon in this combo...

He obviously does have some weaknesses though. Being a level 5 with 4500 power makes him susceptible to cards like Gilaflame, Lost Patrol, Sword Horned, and so on. He's not invincible by any means, but can sure put up one heck of a fight!

Overall this card is very well balanced and may see some play in decks that are adventurous enough to try adding in Light and Fire into their deck.

Constructed: 4.00/5.00 (A Fast-Attacking Blocker that can untap itself when it wins a battle; amazing.)
Limited: 4.25/5.00 (If he had a little more power he would have a perfect score from me. After turn five or six he loses some playability unless you're opponent is playing rush.)

I hope you enjoyed number eight on the list, stay tuned for number seven! Also, be sure to check out my articles on Alter Reality Games page as well on every Monday!  Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
