Hello again my fellow Duel Masters! Speaking of Duel Masters, today's card art comes from a very powerful card, Crystal Paladin. Now the card is completely different from its predecessor, so don't expect today's card, Aqua-Reflector Nomulos, to be single handedly winning you games when you play it. That doesn't mean you can't do some shenanigans of your own with it though!

Name: Aqua-Reflector Nomulos
Civilization:
Water
Type: Creature
Race:
Aquan
Level:
6
Power:
2000
Flavor Text: N/A
Rarity: Rare
Set Number: 10/80 l 9SHA
Abilities:
18px-Blocker.jpgBlocker
(You may tap this creature to change an enemy creature's attack to this creature.
Guard (This creature can't attack.)
Frontline Recon
- When this creature enters the battle zone, you may draw a card.
Liquid Armor- If this creature would be banished, return it to your hand instead.

Aqua-Reflector Nomulos is another Aquan Blocker that can't attack under normal circumstances. As expected, Nomulos has a couple of abilities that are common to other Aquan creatures. Whenever you play him, you have the option to draw a card. Then if he would be banished, he instead returns to your hand.

These abilities are great when you put them together! A Blocker that never really dies AND it draws you a card?! These notions are great if the card was a little bit on the cheaper side of the mana curve... instead, it sits at a hefty level 6 and only has 2000 power on top of that!

If this had been a level 4 or 5 with 3000 power it could have more applications in different decks. I even think that Megabug decks could utilize him off of Hive Queen's effect. Being level 6 makes this really difficult to warrant playing it outside of a draw-heavy deck. I suppose if we get cards that become stronger if you have more cards in your hand, this could fit right into it. The only other option would be to utilize this with the one evolution creature that Aquans have, Aqua-Ranger Commander. You would be able to have a reliable source of evo-bait and it would draw you a card every time on top of that.

Personally I think there are some better options in the form of Finbarr's Dreadnought or even Hovercraft Glu-urrgle. With the Dreadnought you're able to automatically draw two cards and make it so every one of your other creatures goes back to your hand if it would be banished... and that's just for two more mana with the addition of "Double Breaker" and 6000 power!

Don't get me wrong, if you're able to get enough mana on board, you could create a turn after turn loop of Nomulos. The only other deck I could see this potentially fitting into would be a Panopter/Blocker deck utilizing Rally the Reserves. I could only imagine the amount of cards that would be in your hand if you were playing that deck with this guy!

Don't expect to see this guy floating around anywhere outside of limited play in the near future. But if you do, be prepared to be temporarily annoyed with all of his recursion antics!

Constructed: 2.00/5.00 (It never really dies but may make a cameo in the mana zone or in a hand near you!)
Limited: 2.75/5.00 (It's nice to have a Blocker that will stay alive, but it will easily fall again and again to two or three drop creatures... but maybe that's what you want so you can draw more cards?)

I hope you enjoyed today's review and remember to stay tuned this week for some very special news!  Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
