General Zorpa
Rose, Warrior of Revenge
Well, welcome to Rose Week! Here we are starting on
cards from the upcoming Crossroads of Chaos booster
set. And first off we have the Sneak Peak promo,
Rose. Rose is a 1600 ATK 4 star FIRE Warrior that
also happens to inflict 300 damage to your opponent
when she inflicts damage. This is a rather nifty
ability, as often games are decided by 300 or less
lifepoints, so Rose can force more damage in.
But unlike most good cards, Rose is not good because
of her effect. She is good simply because she is a
level 4 Tuner monster. For those of you who are a
little out of it, most monsters played are level 4,
meaning that combined with rose, they make a level 8
Synchro, which is great, especially since Rose can
be searched out by Reinforcements of the Army and
she gives great Synchro ability to both Gladiators
and Lightsworn, in which it is rather awkward to use
the other staple Tuner of Krebons.
However, I feel that this card shines best in that
she is part of a 2 card combo that nukes the entire
field. When was the last time something like that
happened, a complete field clearing for a Normal
Summon? Yeah, never. The combo is just Marauding
Captain and Rose, and then Synchroing for Black Rose
Dragon (which is why I think her name is Rose) and
then either blasting for damage or nuking the whole
field.
A level 4 Tuner, especially a Warrior, is a great
addition to the game, and if you didn't go to the
Sneak Peak, then you are likely to get one, as she
is an Ultra and Ultimate Rare in the set.

Rose, Warrior of Revenge is our first hour star
tuner monster. This card makes some Synchro summons
easy, but others it'll take more to get into. This
with a Treeborn Frog is an automatic Magical
Android. If anyone uses Nimble Momonga or Giant
Germ, they can synchro with this for a Goyo Guardian
or possibly Stardust Dragon. I believe Rose would
work best with The Immortal Bushi for being a 3 Star
monster, a quick way to summon Black Rose Dragon.
It's 1600 ATK is good, but is only able to be
searched out by Reinforcemnt of the Army. It would
have been nice if instead of doing 300 damage extra,
it would just be 300 ATK stronger. I don't think
Rose will make a huge splash because of quicker
Synchro summons with the typical Dark Armed Dragon
Teleport Decks.
We open the week with the Preview card from the new
set, Crossroads of Chaos, that card being Rose,
Warrior of Revenge. Rose is a Level 4 Fire attribute
monster who is also a Tuner, and appropriately a
Warrior type with 1600 attack and 600 defense.
1600 attack isn't bad for a Level 4...it's not the
best, but it could be a lot worse. Warrior is of
course a very well supported Monster type, and Fire
is a very interesting attribute. When Rose inflicts
Battle Damage to your opponent, she deals an
additional 300 Damage.
Honestly, I think this card has more value as a
Level 4 Tuner monster than actually for her effect,
type, or attack. She may make a splash for a while,
and she may help certain Tuner/Synchro players, but
be useless to others.
