Hello there my fellow Kaijudo
Duel Masters! Today we're continuing our look at my
top ten picks from Invasion Earth. My pick
originally for today was Napalmeon the Conquering,
however, this card was literally just reviewed last
month. So I'm choosing an alternative that I feel
deserves to be on the top ten list instead! Today
we're looking at a card that weaken your opponent's
defenses more effectively than we've ever seen
before! Let's take a look at number seven on the
list: Vile Malvictus
Name: Vile Malvictus
Civilization: Darkness
Type: Creature
Race: Shadow Champion
Level: 8
Power: 6000
Flavor Text: "It is the duty of the strong to
excise the weak."
Rarity: Very Rare
Set Number: 20/80 l 10INV
Abilities:
Double Breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.)
Cull the Weak- When this creature enters the
battle zone, each enemy creature gets -3000 power
until the end of the turn. (A creature that has
power 0 or less is banished.)
Vile Malvictus is a level 8
Shadow Champion with 6000 power and Double Breaker.
It also happens to have an ability similar to
"Suffocate," but even stronger than that! When
Malvictus hits the board, all of your opponent's
creatures lose 3000 power!
This effect can be
game-breaking depending on what type of deck you are
playing against. I imagine someone running a "Blurple"
style deck or the new Corrupted cards will be the
most challenged by this cards existence since a lot
of their power ranges from 1000-3000 on average.
Luckily for those decks, this
card won't be hitting the board until turn eight,
right? Obviously there's the option to use cards
that can ramp you up to eight mana by turn five or
six, but there's a slightly more effective option
that was also released in this set, "Veil Slip."
Veil Slip allows you to play a
level 8 or less creature from your hand and then
immediately return it back. This will allow you to
play Vile Malvictus on your turn five, without
having to ramp a single card! What makes this an
even better combination, Slip is a shield blast too!
In the right deck or even as a
tech choice, Vile Malvictus has the potential to see
quite a bit of play. It will certainly keep those
Cyber Scamps, Tricky Turnips, and Seneschal's
Lieutenant's in check!
Constructed: 3.50/5.00
(A powerful tech choice that will often wreck decks
that like to run a lot of low power creatures with
amazing effects.)
Limited: 3.50/5.00 (It's a bit late to be
dropping a 6000 power creature on turn eight. The
weaken ability may benefit you so you can swing over
your opponent's creatures however.)
I hope you enjoyed number seven
on the list, stay tuned for number six! Also, be
sure to check out my articles on Alter Reality Games

next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm
and game on!
