All this takes place as of July 1st, so we have 15 more days of brokeness. ;)

Now onto the COTD. In honor of Batman Begins, we bring you some Jim Lee sweetness.

Batman - Shadow of the Bat (DBM-003)
Cost: 7
ATK Value: 15
DEF Value: 15

Card Text:
While you have seven or more cards in hand, whenever Batman stuns a character, that character's controller loses endurance equal to that character's cost. (This is in addition to the normal stun endurance loss.)

Yes, the rare from the starter. Here we have UDE's best efforts to give us more of an option when playing a Gotham Knights deck. Our previous 7 drop Batman was the focal point of draw combos and Blind Side. Then we got good old Az-bat in DGL, a good card in all, but only when attacked.

Now, we have a real 7 drop Batman. You've got to have serious hand advantage to get his effect to work, though with some of the draw effects based in the starter cards, its not to hard to have around 6 cards in hand beginning in Turn 7.

Now the effect is pretty good in and of itself, hold 7 or more cards and Batman does double stun damage(Just like his 5 drop form!). Az-bat kind reflects this in a flavorful way, as he kinda of Batman, but not quite.

While not as strong as Az-bat, Shadow of the Bat retains the standard ATK/DEF for 7 drops thus making him a little tougher than the stand-in.

He's a solid hitter with a decent effect; and belongs to a very solid control team. I wouldn't be suprised to see him pop up somewhere in constructed.

Limited: NA
Golden: 3.6/5
DC Modern: 2/5

Well, that's it for today. I'm off to a PCQ this weekend.

Tip of the day: Lockup & Stilt Man say "No!" to that pesky infinite combo.
