Recon
Operation
Cost: 2
Civilization: Water
Card Type: Spell
. Look at up to 3 of your opponent's shields. Then
put them back where they
were.
Civilization: Just as I had said with Grape Globbo
card of the day review,
water is all about manipulation, draw power, field
control, and is still one of the dominant mono deck
types. Water also holds true to a series of spells
and creature effects that let you look at your
opponent's shields and/or
hand.
Cost/Abilities: 2 mana cost seems to be in the right
neighborhood for Recon
Operation's effect of looking at up to 3 of your
opponent's shields. Just as the importance of
looking at your opponent's takes a back burner in
this
game compared to others, the same appears to be true
as far as shields
gazing. The main reason for that besides maintaining
card advantage, alot of players use Bolmeteus Steel
Dragon to completely negate and Cryptic Totem to
partially negate the threat that lies within those 5
shields keeping you
from victory.
Card Efficiency: With the way that decks are
currently played this card's
efficiency holds almost no benefits. The majority of
decks seem to not pass
the 8-12 shield trigger mark anyway.
Constructed: Until someone shows why it is very
important to "shield gaze"
expect this to collect dust for now. 0/5
Limited: With 35 low cost creatures available to
rush the opponent in the
Base Set, this card will more than normally become
mana. 0/5
