Good day everyone! Are
all of you as anxious as I am about the big
“Organized Play Announcement” that we’re supposed to
be getting within the next week from Wizards? My
hopes are high and I’m looking forward to some
competitive play in the near future! Alrighty, onto
today’s Card of the Day, Emperor Axon.
Emperor Axon is a Level 4
Cyber Lord Evolution creature that requires you to
evolve him from another Cyber Lord. He also has the
“Double Breaker” ability as well as 6,000 Power.
This card is very similar to Laser-Arm Drakon except
instead of “Powerful Attack +2,000,” Axon has that
power automatically; Laser-Arm requires a Drakon to
evolve while Axon a Cyber Lord. So in the long run,
you need to pay one more mana for a continuous boost
advantage over Laser-Arm. So basically what
this means for Water Civilization players is that
they can get a little aggro in their deck builds.
A 6,000 body is pretty
good for a Level 4… although there’s another that
does it a lot better than axon, but we’ll discuss
that further on Friday. He avoids Tornado Flame,
Tendril Grasp, and Barrage, but still dies to the
big removal spells and Bone Blades/Return to Soil.
He can also trade off with Tatsurion and his
unchained counterpart, while decimating Hydra
Medusa, Laser-Arm Drakon, Emperor Neuron, Blastforge
Captain, and many others!
Axon doesn’t give you any
pure advantage though and that’s where he’s a little
lackluster. If you’re looking for a cool effect when
he enters the battle zone, you’re going to be
disappointed. He adds a little more power to the
Water Civilization decks but can feel a little
underwhelming for an evolution at times when
compared to Evo-Fury Tatsurion/Tekamora, The
Wretched/Flamespike Tatsurion.
I don’t really see a lot
of combos that abuse this card. For 1,000 more
Power, an extra shield break, and an extra Level, I
don’t think it’s really worth it in comparison to
his little brother, Emperor Neuron. I suppose it is
a vastly cheaper option than picking up three
Neurons though… so if you’re on a budget, it’s worth
using. Anyways, if you want to try him out, feel
free, however, I wouldn’t recommend using more than
one in a deck unless you’re making a
super-aggressive-boiling-hot-teapot.dek.
Ratings:
Constructed: 2.75/5.00
(Axon is a cheap alternative to
Neuron but has more difficulty creating advantage
like his younger sibling.)
Limited: 3.75/5.00
(There are plenty of Cyber Lords in
Evo-Fury Limited play. Also, evolutions play one of
the biggest roles in a sealed environment;
definitely worth using in this format.)
Stop back tomorrow for
another review and make sure to bring your shades;
it’s not the brightest idea to stare at this
avatar of perfection. |

Hello everybody! First of
all, I wanted to apologize for my hiatus during the
past week, but school recently started and this was
unfortunately accompanied by multiple assignments
and labs to do! I am actually really sad, since I
missed yesterday’s COTD, Hydra Medusa, which is
probably one of my favorite cards right now! Anyhow,
enough about me and more about this Kaijudo COTD!
The card that we will be discussing today is an
evolution card named Emperor Axon.
Emperor Axon is a level 4
creature of the water civilisation and he evolves
from the intelligent Cyber Lords! He has an attack
power of 6000 and possesses two abilities:
Evolution — Put on
one of your Cyber Lords.
Double Breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.)
Emperor Axon brings a big
body to the table, especially since he could come
out on turn 4. This means that early in the game,
you will be able to threaten to destroy two of your
opponent’s shields! Furthermore, similarly to
Emperor Neuron, he is able to evolve from the
commonly played Cyber Sprites, Cyber Trader and even
Aqua Seneschal, since Emperor Axon is a level 4
creature.
However, that is the only thing that makes Emperor
Axon somewhat playable. Since he is not the only
cyber lord evolution, he will often be compared to
his comrade, Emperor Neuron and he almost always
pales in comparison. Even though he can break two
shields early on, the amount of advantage that
Emperor Neuron could provide makes Emperor Axon very
lackluster compared to it. Furthermore, with Rusalka,
Aqua Chaser getting more and more play, mixed with
the common Bones Blade, Heat Seekers Return to the
Soils, and also Screeching Scaradorable, it will be
very hard for the user to actually play Emperor
Axon, since most of the time, all his evolution bait
will be destroyed. Even if Emperor Axon is summoned,
most of those cards would be able to take care of it
also.
Summary:
Emperor Axon could be playable if you do not have
any Emperor Neurons available if you are playing a
Water/Darkness or Water/Nature deck, but if you do
have access to Neuron, I wouldn't really bother
playing this card.
