Starry Paintbrush
Item | Pantbrush
Strength +0 | Agility +2 | Magic +1 | Intelligence +0 "When you bank this card, reveal the top 4 cards of your deck. Put all Experienced Neopets there into your hand and discard the rest."
Bank: 2

Today we have something that may or may not help to get Experienced Neopets out of your deck! It is also a Paintbrush, which means that it sells for upwards or 250,000 NP on the actual site. That is more of a side-note than anything. So, moving along to the review. Is this a Paintbrush that you should add to your deck? Let's see...

Advantage F/H: This thins a deck greatly, and can even help your hand, and eventually the field. So you look at the top 4 cards. Usually, you'll have 1 Experienced Neopet if you're lucky. The other three go to the discard pile.
Your Experienced Neopet helps your hand, and then helps your field. As well, it has just thinned your deck by four cards. This is quite a solid advantage. Unfortunately, you could dump a card that is needed. Still...

8/10

Best Draw for the Situation: I would love to draw this card at almost any point in the game. Early in the game, it helps give you the upper hand by giving you that Experienced Neopet you need. Mid game, you can still put it to use the same way. Late game, it loses some points, because you may deck yourself if you're that far in.

8/10

Attributes/Effect: Definitely not the Item to be using in a contest. The bank is below average at 2, but the effect makes up for that. Thinning your deck and possibly adding an Experienced Neopet to your hand is a great effect. If there were more recursion, it would be even better.

8.5/10

Dependability: In most decks, there are usually anywhere from 6-10 Experienced Neopets. That means it's not exactly the most dependable thing to grab an Experienced Neopet from your deck. That drops the effectiveness and dependability of this card down slightly. However, it will always dependably drop four cards from your deck.

7.5/10

A BAD Score: 32/40 = 8/10

Bottom Line: If you're using any Experienced Neopets, add a couple of these in your deck. It is quite a decent card, and I could see it getting played, possibly even abused.

Although this paint brush has some major potential, it's so risky I doubt that it'll see much of anything aside from the pages of a collector's book.

 

However, there are a few ways to play this card to your advantage.  First, obviously, if you get the chance to look at the top few cards of your deck, you can clue yourself in to when the best time to play it would be.  Second, you can use cards like Rainbow Paint Brush or Darigan Paint Brush to guarantee at least one Experienced pet.  Thirdly, you can use this in a recycling deck, usually based around Kauvara's Potion and Scroll of Recall, to bring back any important cards that hit the discard pile.

It's a bit risky, but there are a few good ways to use this card.  3.7 of 5
