The war rages on my fellow
Kaijudo Duel Masters and I must continue to spread
knowledge and intel around the realm. Think of Pojo
as your own bestiary or even a pokedex if you will!
Today we're taking a closer look at one of General
Skycrusher's most powerful weapons, his
Volcano-Ship.
Name: Skycrusher's
Volcano-Ship
Civilization: Fire
Type: Creature
Race: Inferno Complex
Level: 9
Power: 8000
Flavor Text: "Floating volcanoes...charming."
-Master Nadia
Rarity: Very Rare
Set Number: 30/80 l 9SHA
Abilities:
Double Breaker (This creature breaks 3 shields.)
Heavy Weapons- This creature can attack
untapped creatures.
Command Center- Whenever this creature wins a
battle, choose one of your other creatures. It can
attack untapped creatures this turn as though they
were tapped.
Skycrusher's Volcano-Ship is
indeed a threatening concept. In the show this was
the main weapon the Fire civilization had to fight
against the Water civilization. Did I mention that
it is literally a floating volcano? This card has
the ability to attack untapped creatures making sure
that no creature is safe in the battle zone.
Whenever it wins a battle it also allows another one
of your creatures to do the same thing!
With the ship being a level 9,
it makes it really difficult to be playable. We
already have Moorna, Gatling Dragon, and she can
already do most of what the ship can for a seven
mana cost. It's great that they make it so you can
have another creature swing in and take down a
creature too, but I really think 8000 power on a
level 9 with this effect wasn't enough.
There is always the potential
to put this into a deck as a tech choice, however,
at nine mana it really should be more of a finisher
than anything else. Often times when you play this
card you'll be waiting a turn to even do anything
with it. Now, it will dissuade your opponent from
playing smaller creatures... at first. When you do
swing in to take out a Blocker or something like
that, it's very likely that they'll just go in for
the revenge-kill the next turn and sink your
battleship!
Constructed: 1.75/5.00
(The mana cost is just too darn high!)
Limited: 2.00/5.00 (Amazing if you can manage
to get it out, otherwise you'll just lose to a rush
strategy.)
I hope you have enjoyed this
week of reviews and that it has prepared you for the
war against the Choten. We'll have even more intel
next week, so until next time we meet my fellow Duel
Masters, keep calm and fight on!
