Welcome back everyone! Apparently we had some technical difficulties with getting some of the reviews up, but hopefully that has been taken care of for everyone. As some of you may know, I attended a KMC out to New Holland, PA this past weekend. We had 37 players in attendance and I finished at 2nd place running a mono-darkness build of a Kalima deck! Make sure to check out my YouTube account for a deck profile as well as my team's page for a player interview of yours truly. I'm really excited to chalk up an invite for the Pojo community and I hope to continue with this success next month at the Winter Championships! Onto more relevant matters though, today's card is Forgelord Vesuvius, let's get started!

Name: Forgelord Vesuvius
Civilization:
Fire
Type: Creature
Race:
Blaze Champion
Level:
7
Power:
6000
Flavor Text: Fighting over the weapons forged by Vesuvius is almost as common as fighting with them.
Rarity: Super Rare
Set Number: S4/S10 l 9SHA

Abilities:
Double Breaker
(This creature breaks 2 shields.)
Rekindle- Whenever this creature wins a battle, you may discard your hand. If you do, draw 5 cards.

Forgelord Vesuvius is an interesting card to say the least. It introduces us to yet another "Champion" race, this one being a "Blaze Champion." He also has some pretty standard stats for a level 6 creature, 6000 power with Double Breaker.

Vesuvius' "Rekindle" ability is very reminiscent of a Magic the Gathering ability from quite a few of their fire spells/planeswalkers. Basically, you discard cards from your hand but instead of drawing a card for each one discarded, you get to automatically draw five cards. So essentially, if you have no cards in your hand when you win a battle with this guy, you can discard NOTHING and draw five cards!

When you are lacking resources, Vesuvius jumps in to aid you in your battle. It's very likely that your opponent will keep their weaker creatures from attacking you if they ever see you have this card in the battle zone. At the same time it's also beneficial that you won't need to worry about your opponent's Blockers, unless they want you to regain extra advantage from banishing their creature.

If you really want to make this effect go off, I would recommend using cards like Overcharge or Cinder Fist to attack untapped creatures while giving your creatures a power boost. You could even use light cards to tap your opponent's creatures and attack over them that way as well.

As of now, no one has really made this card an amazing item. There are ways to abuse this card and to get it out early, but it usually involves using a lot of ramp spells. In the process, however, you're able to replenish your hand when you have successfully defeated an opponent's creature.

The biggest downfall of this card is that it's a level 7 creature that needs to win a battle for its effect to go off, and it's only 6000 power. This can prove to be problematic for the card at times. There are power booster spells that could be beneficial such as Monstrify, but only time will tell if they'll ever be worth running.

Constructed: 2.75/5.00 (It has potential to net you a lot of advantage but requires a lot of effort to do so..)
Limited: 3.25/5.00 (This card is essentially a draw spell. The bad part about it though, is that you only have a limited amount of cards to work within your deck and that could lead to a potential deck out situation.)

I hope you enjoyed this review! Make sure to keep an eye out on Alter Reality Games' website on Monday's as well, as I am a newly appointed writer there for Kaijudo! So until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
