It’s Thursday and the weekend is fast approaching! But here at Pojo’s Card of the Day our articles are just getting warmed up! Today we’re covering one of the many embodiments of Tatsurion, “Ragefire Tatsurion”. If you find yourself being depleted of cards in your hand then this card might just be for you!

Name: Ragefire Tatsurion
Civilization:
Fire
Type: Creature
Race:
Armored Dragon/Beast Kin
Level:
5
Power:
5000+
Flavor Text: Allie: “Uh, anyone smart enough to bring a light?” Bob: “I AM a light.”
Rarity: Very Rare
Set Number:   43/55 l 6DSI

Abilities:

Wreak Havoc- While you have no cards in your hand, this creature has “Powerful Attack +3000,” “Double Breaker,” and can’t be the target of your opponent’s spells and abilities. (A creature that has “Powerful Attack +3000” and “Double Breaker” gets +3000 power while attacking and breaks 2 shields.)

Personally I think the fact that this Tatsurion is a Level 5 Armored Dragon and Beast Kin is his best feature. If you’re looking to do any evolving in your deck, Level 5 is as good as it gets for the Dragon race as of now. You could turn him into a Kindrix, Evo Fury, Flamespike, or even Sok’ran with little difficulty within two turns of playing him (at most).

Most people saw this card and started going nuts for the “Wreak Havoc” ability. Basically if you don’t have any cards in your hand, Tatsurion becomes King Neptas but with an additional 3000 power when he attacks and Double Breaker! These skills are really good and I would like to see someone utilize him in a deck that combines him with Neptas.

Having protection from Terror Pit, Root Trap, Hydra Medusa, Rusalka, Lyra, and so on is quite the ability but it also restricts you to having no cards in your hand practically every turn. You have to be aggressive with this Tatsurion or you’re going to lose out on a lot of power.

Ragefire does have a huge weakness that can be easily exploited if needed. He only gains his power boost when his controller has no cards in their hand. The quickest solution to this problem if you’re facing off against him, attack a shield! As long as you don’t hit a shield blast, you just gave them a card to their hand and took away his extra abilities, allowing him to be targeted by an effect of one of your other creatures (situational but still a viable tactic nonetheless).

Ratings:

Constructed: 3.00/5.00 (Not a bad card but requires a deck to be very aggressive and burn through your resources quickly every turn. Otherwise, he is one of your best choices for an evolution target. )

Limited: 3.25/5.00 (Tatsurion could see some play in limited, however, there’s no guarantee that you won’t have a high cost creature clogging up your hand or that you’ll be able to go through all of your cards as quickly as you would like. Again, one of the best targets for those Dragon Evolutions in this set though.)

Hope to see you all tomorrow when we conclude our week of reviews with the sheer power and force of nature! Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!

Wreak Havoc — While you have no cards in hand, this creature has "Powerful Attack +3000," "Double Breaker," and can't be the target of your opponent's spells and abilities. (A creature that has "Powerful Attack +3000" and "Double Breaker" gets +3000 power while attacking and breaks 2 shields.)

I love how Kaijudo has take a firm stand on differentiating itself from Duel Masters. Now there is only a finite amount of mechanics that they can create, but they have done a wonderful job of making everything have its own place and only outclassing a few cards here and there.

So back to Ragefire. He is our 9th incarnation of Tatsurion. So lets break him down because he isn't what I would call "simple".

So his whole effect is activated by having no cards in hand. So he shoots up to 8000 on the attack has double breaker and has King Neptas immunity? Damn, he gets in there.

Whats really cool is in "theory" by turn 6 you could easily clear out your hand if you have been aggressive. I think he may actually end up in some rush varients he acts as a really cool finisher. Generally in rush your opponent has a lot of cards which gives them a lot of answers. Ragefire says "whats up" to all those answers and will start swinging through.

Summary:
This card is really cool and will find its place in a bunch of other decks that of course are going to be more aggressive. Might try it out in control or something just to see how it tests!

Happy testing!
