Welcome back everyone! This week is the last week for spoilers before the actual release of Clash of the Duel Masters on Friday May 24^th. So, in the spirit of those spoilers, we have an exclusive preview week for you guys leading up to the release of Clash all thanks to the awesomely wonderful people at Wizards of the Coast! Today’s card is Sunspout Quartz, let’s get started!

Name: Sunspout Quartz
Civilization: Light /Water
Type: Creature
Race: Spirit Quartz
Level: 4
Power: 3000
Flavor Text: Infused with the spirit of a thundering rain cloud.
Rarity: Uncommon
Set Number: 77/110 l 7CLA

Abilities:
(This card enters your mana zone tapped.)
Opal Aura- Each of your other Light creatures gets +1000 power.
Sapphire Shine- Each of your other Water creatures gets +1000 power.

Sunspout Quartz is a Spirit Quartz, a new creature type altogether, but I suspect we’ll see other variations of Quartz’s in the future. This Level 4 creature, which strongly resembles a bird, has two abilities that will make this worth considering when constructing your Dragon Decks of tomorrow.

I’m a fan how they incorporated the stone and its color relating to its element. In this case, Opal Aura provides an extra boost to all of your other Light creatures and increases their power by 1000. But wait! There’s more! We have Sapphire Shine which adds 1000 power to your Water creatures on top of that! So let’s say you’re running a Water/Dark/Light Deck and you have this guy out and you also have something like Saracon, Storm Dynamo out. It’s to my understanding that Saracon will gain the boost from both effects of Opal Aura and Sapphire Shine giving it an additional 2000 power!

This may not seem like a huge deal, but if you are running a lot of multi-color cards and you want something better to use than just Essence Elf, this card could prove to be quite useful! All of a sudden your Jade Monitors can block and banish Herald of Infernus! Your Andromeda can now take out Dracothane and other Andromedas with ease! This may even make your cards less susceptible to cards like Heat Seekers, Barrage, or Dragon’s Breath!

It’s obvious that this card is a great addition to the already popular decks out there, but it can help others with alternative strategies as well. Remember the card we reviewed last week?  Panopter is also a Light/Water creature and it gains an additional 2000 power from this card! Plus all of your other support cards become just a little more playable. Finally, this card can offer assistance to your mana curve and consistency. You can throw this into your mana zone and unlock both civilizations with ease! After all, it’s not like you were really going to make a huge turn one play, right?

This is a great card to consider running and if it’s not dealt with it can become quite the nuisance, especially if you can manage to get multiple copies out, at which point they will boost each other! Make sure to check back here for four more days of previews that were provided to us from the awesome people at Wizards of the Coast!

Ratings:

Constructed: 3.50/5.00 (It’s still up in the air just how good this card will be, however, it will be splashed in decks and may give an extra push to other Light/Water decks out there.)

Limited: 4.00/5.00 (This is a great card in limited currently as there doesn’t seem to be a ton of removal so far. If it’s not dealt with your battle zone can get really scary really quick! Another benefit is that since you are likely choosing multiple civilizations in limited, it gives you a more consistent deck to work with.)

Make sure to stop by tomorrow to check out more spoilers from Wizards of the Coast! Also, check out my channel on YouTube for awesome Kaijudi (lol) content! Also, just as a note, I will likely be taking a week hiatus starting this upcoming Monday since I will be getting married this Saturday! I tried talking the fiancé into going to a Clash of the Duel Masters set premiere for our honeymoon, but sadly that was shot down! Alright, well until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
