Welcome back to Pojo’s Card of the Day! Today we’ll be looking at another card that a lot of people are running in their decks and can completely devastate your opponent in the right situation. Today’s card is Skull Shatter.

Name: Skull Shatter
Civilization:
Darkness
Type: Spell
Race:
N/A
Level:
8
Power:
N/A
Flavor Text: “You weren’t going to anything useful with those ideas, anyway.” -Alakshmi
Rarity: Rare
Set Number: 92/165 l 3RIS

Abilities:

Your opponent discards his or her hand.

Pretty right to the point, Skull Shatter doesn’t mess around! You play this card and your opponent’s hand goes away. To make things worse for your opponent, try reading the flavor text after you play the card… I imagine someone sitting across from you is going to be quite “salty”.

Early game this card is usually going into your mana zone and this card is usually really bad against a rush style deck. The best time to use this card is when you’re playing against a control deck that likes to draw a lot of cards. In the right match up you can usually discard between 3-6 cards on average but there’s honestly no limit to the damage that you can wreak upon your opponent! The other ideal situation is to fetch this card off of a Crystal Memory to set up for that big push against your opponent.

If you’re not using a ton of discard cards in your deck currently (like Fumes, Razorkinder Puppet, or Specter Claw) then this will tend to benefit you more in the long run. I understand getting small pushes in advantage against your opponent, but there’s nothing more satisfying than getting rid of five or more cards from your opponents hand with one card.

Ratings:

Constructed: 4.00/5.00 (Gets rid of potential answers your opponent might have and if your opponent is playing a slower deck it will prove to be more effective against them. Amazing to play, devastating to have it played against you.)

Limited: 4.00/5.00 (Great against slower players and can deal with a lot of potential threats.)

Have a great weekend everyone; see you back here again on Monday morning! Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!

Friday, Duel Days are upon us. Hopefully you can pick up some Dorado's and Billion Degree's. Because those cards will be useful at the KMC's that we are all talking about. So lets finish the week with a great legacy card from DM and still a power house.
 
Skull Shatter
Civilization:  Darkness
Card Type:  Spell
Level:  8
Card Abilities:  You opponent discards his or her hand.
 
So with all the cards this week, have you seen such simple text on the cards? See the trend. Simple effects usually are powerful. You opponent could have all the card advatage in the world in the hand on you, and this card just takes their hand out to dinner, make them pay for it, have their way with them, a and never call. That's what Skull Shatter does to the opponents hand.
 
This card defined control decks, in a control mirror match this card can decide who wins really quickly. Nature helps you get to this quicker and results in less mana for your opponent. I've seen people want to rage quit after a top decked Skull Shatter. I mean we could talk scenarious about this card all day about this card.
 
Summary:
In the control mirror this thing is a monster. A vicious brutal monster. Even at 8 cost. Can't believe we had this thing for 7 cost in DM, but lord its brutal. We will see how this pops up in decks at the KMC. More than likely in 2's. Just to make sure you have it so they can't put out their Andromeda's before you.
 
Constructed 5/5
Limited 3/5 (Hand size tends to vary)
