Hello and welcome back to another week of reviews here at Pojo.com! I hope you all had a great weekend! In case you didn't see it, make sure to check out my Twitter account for a picture of the newest Monarch, Eternal Haven! It was revealed at the celebration event in Kansas this past Saturday and I can comfortably say that it will have an impact on the game.  On another note, today marks the first day of classes for a lot of people, myself included, so I'm sure a lot of you will be busy, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't continue to read our awesome content and reviews! Let's get started on today's card, Dragon's Breath.

Name: Dragon's Breath
Civilization:
Fire
Type: Spell
Race:
N/A
Level:
7
Power:
N/A
Flavor Text: Whoever said there is safety in numbers never fought a dragon.
Rarity: Rare
Set Number: 38/55 l 6DSI
Abilities:
Shieldblast.jpgShield Blast
(instead of putting this spell into your hand from a broken shield, you may cast it for free.)
Banish target enemy creature that has power 3000 or less.
Banish target enemy creature that has power 2000 or less.
Banish target enemy creature that has power 1000 or less.

Dragon's Breath gave us our first spell card with three separate effects on it. You are basically able to banish three potential creatures as long as they meet the requirements. One  needs to be 3000 or less power, the next 2000 or less, and finally, 1000 or less.

This was often interchanged with cards like Barrage that would wipe the entire battle zone of creatures with 2000 power or less on your opponent's side. With the addition of being able to banish a creature with 3000 power, Dragon's Breath gave us more utility to take down more cards that were being run in control variants such as Razorkinder Puppet or Star Lantern. This card alongside Heat Seekers prompted players to move on to some larger Blockers in the form of Jade Monitor or Keeper of Clouds instead.

Dragon's Breath was most successful at taking down decks that ran a lot of Fire Birds and often would punish early rush strategies. As the meta shifted the card was seen less and less especially after the release of Clash of the Duel Masters where we got several viable Blockers with over 3000 defense for the same 2-3 mana cost. Currently Dragon's Breath has seen little to no play at least in my area but that doesn't mean that it can't make a comeback somewhere down the line. 

Ratings:

Constructed: 1.75/5.00 (It won't be banished by anything except spells and Slayers 99% of the time.)
Limited: 3.50/5.00 (In a limited format with Dragonstrike Infernus, there are a ton of targets to choose from. This card will easily be able to banish 1-2 creatures when used but often will only be successful if hit through a shield blast, otherwise it's a little less practical.)

Thanks for stopping by everyone! Make sure to check out my channel for new content including my "Master Commentator" contest video! Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
