							Name: 
							Nastasha, Channeler of Suns 
							 
							Cost: 7 
							Race: Mecha del Sol 
							Civilization: Light 
							Type: Creature 
							Rules Text: 
							Double breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.) 
							When one of your shields would be broken, you may 
							destroy this creature 
							instead. 
							 
							Flavor Text: 
							The universe trembles at its beauty. 
							 
							Power: 6000 
							Mana Number: 1 
							Artist: Masaki Hirooka 
							Rarity: S 
							Collector Number: S1 
							Set: Epic Dragons of Hyperchaos 
							Civilization: Save the king/queen even if it mean 
							kill your self 
							Effect: Double breaker, self explanatorily.  
							 
							When one of your shields would be broken, you may 
							destroy this creature 
							 
							instead. Again self explanatorily. but is it worth 
							it? IMO no, this creature can do more by attacking 
							than killing it self to. Also by the way it's worded 
							I see it is if a double breaker were to hit a 
							shields this thing could only save one. and if that 
							was your only shield left and the double breaker 
							were to hit it, and you sac this guy to save it the 
							shield would still die, because of the way a double 
							breaker attacks, but that's my belief. So all you 
							would really use this thing for is to attack, 
							nothing more or less. 
							 
							Cost: 6 or more cost+ 6000 or more power= free 
							double breaker 
							the save the shield effect as seen in another card 
							cost for for little guys, so this guy is cost 
							efficient. 
							 
							Constructed: 1/5 no there are better options, don't 
							make me smack you with a wet noodle. 
							Limited: 1/5 see above

							Nastasha, 
							Channeler of Suns 
							Cost: 7 
							Race: Mecha Del Sol 
							Civilization: Light 
							Power: 6000 
							Effect: 
							-Double Breaker 
							-When one of your shields may be broken, you may 
							destroy this creature instead. 
							Flavor: It isn't the flavor of the week, that's for 
							sure. 
							 
							Light week continues!!!!!! 
							 
							Cost: Mana cost is very important in DM, so if a 
							card is going to cost 7 mana it's gotta be good. 
							This card....meh....it cost to much for it's power, 
							Double Breaker is a gimme, but the effect could be 
							good when used correctly. It also won't be able to 
							attack till next, meaning that your opponent could 
							potentially Death Smoke it. 
							 
							Race: Mecha Del Sol were a new race that was 
							released in Epic Dragons, so they have no evos to 
							support 'em. But this is the second cheapest Mecha 
							Del Sol, so if a evolution was released later on 
							your might be able to use this guy as evo bait. 
							 
							Power: 6000 power for 7 mana really isn't all that 
							great, but Light seems to have an attraction to 
							creatures with power being less than the mana cost. 
							6000 power also means that it'll be prey to spells 
							like Volcanic Arrows and Apocalypse Vise. What's 
							worse is that there are plenty of creatures that 
							cost less and have more power that'll be able to 
							take this guy down. 
							 
							Effect: I'll get the Double Breaker out of the way 
							first, any creature 6 and over should have it, plain 
							and simple. Now the real reason why you would run 
							this card is for it's "Shield Saver" ability. When 
							your opponent is about to destroy your very last 
							shield, you can save it by destroying this creature 
							instead. This is particularly use full in the late 
							game where your shields have probably taken a 
							beating. Suppose you laid a Terror Pit down with 
							Emeral and your opponent attacks with some wussy 
							creature that you can easily take down, you want to 
							save that shield for a fattie he's got in his hand, 
							well just take this creature down and save that 
							shield. 
							 
							But the problem with this creature is that it was 
							always puts in you a bad position, no matter what 
							happens your going to have a disadvantage. You could 
							lose a creature or lose a shield, both of which you 
							would never want to choose between. This card is 
							best used as a stall tactic, pure and simple. 
							 
							Constructed: 2/5 Stall, Stall, Stall 
							Limited: 1/5 Not much to say 
							Art: 4/5 I like it, so sue me.

							Welcome, I'm back for another COTD and this time, 
							we'll be Rating a Card that I personally deem 
							inferior. Onwards. 
							 
							There are 3 Mecha Del Sol up to this point, and each 
							and every one of them sucks. It's sisters are all 
							Dragon Haters, and this card isn't changing that. It 
							has 6000 attack, leaving it open to Apocalypse and 
							Terror. However, 
							 
							it breaks 2 Shields. That's a plus. But... It's some 
							kind of weird Blocker.  
							It's able to suicide in exchange that 1 of your 
							shields aren't broken. Now this is disastrous if 
							your opponent uses a Weenie creature to attack and 
							this creature dies. (7 Mana, 6000, dies to weenie. 
							Pathetic.) 
							 
							It costs 7 mana, thus making it automatically 
							expensive. It has 6000 for 7 Mana, double Breaker 
							and that little effect of Harikiri. All in all, your 
							basic fatty who likes dying. 
							 
							Constructed: 2/5 (I don't think anyone will play 
							this. Do you?) 
							Limited: 1/5 (Epic on its own cannot help this 
							card.) 
							Rarity: 2/5 (Sell it. Don't bother buying it and 
							just Sell or Trade. It isn't worth its Super Rare 
							effect.) 
							 
							... 5/15.

							Rules Text: 
							 
							Double Breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields) 
							 
							When one of your shields would be broken, you may

							Cost&Power&Effect: 7 mana for Double Breaker and the 
							chance to save a shield. I'd rather play Syforce, 
							Aurora Elemental, for its Blocker, Double Breaker, 
							and the ability to return something like Holy Awe 
							from my mana to my Hand. 
							 
							Art: Syforce is much more lovely card to look at. 
							 
							Rating: 
							 
							Constructed: 1.5 
							 
							Limited: 2/5 
							 
							Art: Did I mention the art on Syforce yet? I did? 
							1/5
