Black Observe, Hamiel – #V-BT12/017EN (RR)

[AUTO](VC/RC):When placed, if you have a vanguard with “Black” in its card name, COST [Counter Blast (1)], call a card from your damage zone to (RC), and deal one damage to your vanguard. This ability may only be used by a card with the same card name once a turn. (Perform a damage check) [AUTO](RC):When it attacks, COST [Counter Blast (3)], until end of that battle, this unit gets [Power]+15000/[Critical]+1, and your opponent cannot call sentinels from his or her hand to (GC). At the end of that battle, put this unit into your soul.

Huh, funny how Percival is getting choice-restricted alongside Gurguit. What a world we live in – and at a time when we can’t play such a deck physically anymore.

Anyway, Hamiel, what is supposed to be Gavrail’s backup G3 of choice. First skill is there primarily to fulfill the damage requirements for Gavrail, no surprise there. Examining the second skill, comparisons to Feather Palace are pretty inevitable. While Feather Palace has the requirement to Soulblast two G3 and needs Zerachiel to really gain traction, this needs just Counterblast 3, but in exchange for the easier requirement, she doesn’t gain as much power – it’s 15k instead of 20k. Still, because there is no G3 requirement you can run her at 4 and not have to eat into your G3 count just to support her.

I’d say she wins over Feather Palace due to speed at which she can be used, but otherwise pretty generic. A nice finisher when she goes off though.

2.75/5
