This is it my fellow Kaijudo Duelmasters, the number one card from Shattered Alliances! This card had a ton of hype leading up to the release of the set and for good reason. This card single-handedly has been changing the game to the point that players are making the effort to combat this new deck type. Let’s take a look at our number one card, Eternal Haven.

Name: Eternal Haven
Civilization:
Light
Type: Creature
Race:
Monarch/Angel Command
Level:
10
Power:
15500
Flavor Text: N/A
Rarity: Super Rare
Set Number: S1/S10 l 9SHA
Abilities:
18px-Blocker.jpgBlocker
(You may tap this creature to change an enemy creature’s attack to this creature.)
Triple Breaker
Blockade
- When this creature enters the battle zone and whenever it attacks, you may draw a card. Then you may put a non-evolution creature that is level 9 or less and has “Blocker” from your hand into the battle zone.
Aurora Armor- This creature can’t be the target of your opponent’s spells or abilities.
Light Monarch- Each of your other Light creatures gets +4000 power. 

Eternal Haven has been hyped up for months and months. I've heard rumors of this card's effects ranging from creating token creatures to giving you three to four shields. Obviously none of these were correct, but it was fun while it lasted. As it turns out the effects that they gave Haven actually make it better than if it did generate more shields... eventually getting extra shields can be a bad thing and can force you to deck out if the effects are played over and over again.

Haven is a massive 15500 creature, meaning that there are only a select few cards that can actually get over it in terms of power. To make things even more difficult, WOTC gave this card "Blocker," making this the best Blocker in the game. Now Wizards thought this out, in normal circumstances a simple Comet Missile could thwart this card with ease. To get around that aspect it was given the ability "Aurora Armor" which makes it unable to be targeted by spells or abilities that your opponent controls! So we have a nearly invincible Blocker that only dies to Slayers, Crimson Wyvern, and a few other specific cards.

To make things worse the "Blockade" ability allows you to automatically draw a card and then put a level 9 or less Blocker into the battle zone... luckily it didn't say level 10 or less! Regardless, we have gotten some really good Blockers in this set, specifically one we reviewed earlier this week, Twilight Archon. So you can potentially play Haven followed by an Archon for free! Yeah, that's 19 mana for 10, that seems really good! To make the situation even more ridiculous, every time you attack you also regain that ability to draw and place a Blocker on board!

Lastly, we already have a ton of Light civilization creatures that are just amazing by themselves, now imagine giving them an additional 4000 power! Andromeda can trade off with your opponent's Haven and your Keeper of Laws just became 7500 power creatures with the same "untargetable" ability.

Haven is meant to thrive in decks that use a lot of Blockers, however, this card can literally be splashed into any deck. The ability that makes it untargetable, the fact it's a Blocker, and that it can break three shields is just crazy. This is one, if not the best, finisher in the entire game. This card will continue to see play in mass amounts, but don't worry, people will develop anti-haven strategies. Perhaps Queen Kalima will dethrone this behemoth? The battle will be waging on at the upcoming KMCs, I can assure you that!  

Constructed: 5.00/5.00 (The fact that this card can fit into any deck as a finisher and that it can be randomly be played by Bottle of Wishes is just enough to make anyone rage. Start teching in some Slayers and Wyverns and I'm sure you'll be alright though ;) )
Limited: 3.50/5.00 (Stop your opponent from attacking you and load up on Blockers and you'll win the game as long as you can survive long enough to play this card.)

I hope you have enjoyed our top ten countdown of Shattered Alliances set! We'll see you all again on Monday!  Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
