It's a shock. I have ran out of opening statements. So let's jump right into today's Card of the Day review, "Purity of Mind." This Anna themed card again doesn't have a trait restriction. But unlike Monday's card, this one is actually good. The card cost is 1 green and 1 red furyoku. A tad steep, but not overpriced. You got to spend red furyoku somewhere and strikes are a great place to put them. A 6 intercept is better than the 'golden 5.' The force is only 4, so it's only one point under 5. Intercept is a little high, force is a little low, that's a balanced card.

"Purity of Mind" has an effect which states; "Pitch --> Move a yellow furyoku to your red zone." This is a cool effect. You gain furyoku power, but you don't increase your furyoku number. Red furyoku is the best furyoku you can have and this card gives you one at a cost of a zone. Depending how your game is going until you flip this card will determine if losing a zone is worth the benefit of another red furyoku. If you don't have any yellow furyoku, then this effect is a dead weight. Don't create a game where you are running out of furyoku in any color.

Without the effect, the card is well balanced. The effect only adds more support to it. "Purity of Mind" is playable in all formats. I would expect it in more "girl alternative" card in the male based game. It would see this as a very highly rated card in an Anna themed deck, which could be playable in Casual. Watch carefully how many copies of this card you put in your deck. Red furyoku is powerful, but can disappear very quickly.

Casual: 3.7/5
Tournament: 3.7/5
Sealed: 3.7/5
