Hello again my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters out there! We’re taking a look at the top ten cards from 2013 and today is one of my personal favorites!  Let’s take a look at number four on the list: Queen Kalima.

Name: Queen Kalima
Civilization:
Darkness
Type: Creature
Race:
Monarch/Dark Lord
Level:
10
Power:
16000
Flavor Text: N/A
Rarity: Super Rare
Set Number: S3/S10 l 9SHA

Abilities:
Triple Breaker (This creature breaks 3 shields.)
Gaze into the Abyss
- When this creature enters the battle zone, you may put the top 3 cards of your deck into your discard pile. For each Darkness card put into your discard pile this way, your opponent chooses one of his or her creatures in the battle zone. Banish those creatures.
Reanimate- Whenever this creature attacks, choose a creature in your discard pile and return it to your hand.
Darkness Monarch- Each of your other Darkness creatures gets +4000 power.

This card didn’t get the love that it deserved when it first came out and was outshined by people using Eternal Haven as their main strategy. A lot of players who did use this card were focusing on mixing it in with a bunch of different civilizations and they were lucky to get one or two hits off with Kalima’s effect. It wasn’t until I ran a mono-dark version of the deck that it really started taking off (*insert a tooting of one’s own horn here*). After my appearance in the finals of the New Holland KMC, others started replicating the deck and making their own slight variations. Kalima appeared in the top eight slots of Rhode Island, California, and multiple other venues. When it came time to the Winter Championships it was no different. People started using Water/Dark/Light in their builds and started including Reverberate to restore the resources they previously used or lost.

 I think what really made the mono-darkness deck successful was that it had a 100% success rate with Kalima’s effect. Being able to auto-kill up to three cards is just too good not to use and is the closest thing we have in this game to a “board wipe.” If you combo this card with Mark of Kalima, you have an additional line of spells that can wipe two creatures off the board for a measly eight mana. In a direr situation, you can bring out Queen Kalima on turn eight to get rid of three creatures and set yourself up to use the Reanimate ability for next turn.

Speaking of Reanimate… this effect can become really ridiculous very quickly if you happen to have another copy of Kalima in your discard pile. Unless you don’t have any shields, you can freely swing in and not worry about anything your opponent plays since you can kill three creatures next turn! You can also come up with some fun combos involving Kalima and Squillace Scourge so you’ll never truly run out of resources when Squilly discards both players’ hands.

Kalima was, and is, the best strategy against Eternal Haven. She can easily bring the game back in your favor after it looks like you’re going to lose. Any card that can get rid of three cards at once and give you a 16000 power Triple Breaker, etc, etc, should never be taken lightly. Expect to see a lot more of Kalima in the future!

Constructed: 4.75/5.00 (In a mono-dark deck, this card is truly the queen of the castle. Very few cards can eliminate the amount of threats on board like Kalima can. Kalima is the definition of a game changer.)
Limited: 2.50/5.00 (Often times this card will take too long to set up and will be very unreliable when using her effect due to all the multi-civilizations in the set.)

Make sure to stop by again tomorrow for number four on our countdown!  Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
