Hello my fellow Kaijudo Duelmasters! Today we’re taking a look at a card that made some people cringe when they found out it was being released. This card hasn’t made a huge impact on the game just yet, but give it time and you might just hear more about today’s card: Maddening Whispers.

Name: Maddening Whispers
Civilization:
Darkness
Type: Spell
Race:
N/A
Level:
5
Power:
N/A
Flavor Text: “It WAS your fault…”
Rarity: Uncommon
Set Number: 22/80 l 9SHA
Abilities:
Your opponent chooses and discards 2 cards.

Maddening Whispers is essentially the midway point between Fumes and Skull Shatter. For only costing one more than Fumes, it seems a little under-cost for this effect. Getting rid of your opponent’s resources is always a solid strategy. If you keep your opponent down to little or no hand, their options become limited and they are almost always forced to either play a card or put it into the mana zone instead.

The biggest downside to this card is that your opponent gets to choose what they discard. This can allow for some people to discard Slumbering Titan and put it into the battle zone for free! This rarely, if ever happens; however, it may be an upcoming tech card if discard becomes more of a thing. In general though, by the time you get to play Maddening Whispers, it will usually strip your opponent of the last two cards in their hand. With the recent addition of random discard to the game, allowing your opponent to choose what they want to discard is a luxury that you sometimes cannot afford to provide them with.

This card can also serve as an alternative to playing discard against Keeper o Laws. Normally you don’t want to play any spells against your opponent if they have Keeper of Laws out since they’ll just draw a card for each one you play. If they have two cards in their hand when you play Maddening Whispers, you get to disrupt their strategy and get rid of the cards that they had been saving. Afterward, your opponent will draw one card… so you actually broke even with them while thwarting their plans!

Probably the best combo to use this card with is Curse-Eye Black Feather. Each time your opponent discards a card, you get to draw a card. Whispers turns itself into a potential Logos Scan all while getting rid of your opponent’s hand!

That about does it for this card, but don’t count it out just yet; I can see big things coming for this card in the future. 

Constructed: 3.50/5.00 (Really only beneficial if your opponent has a hand. If you can get your opponent to “Top-Deck Mode” then you’re in a pretty solid position!)
Limited: 3.25/5.00 (In most cases you don’t want to waste an entire turn devoting it to discarding a card or two. In limited it can give you the edge you need and can completely throw your opponent off. It also happens to be a convenient counter to Heretic Prince Var-rakka!)

I hope you enjoyed today’s review!  Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
