Mythical Destroyer Beast, Vanargandr – #V-BT12/024EN (RR)

[AUTO](VC/RC):When placed, COST [Soul Blast (1)], choose one of your opponent’s rear-guards, and retire it. If this unit is on (VC), choose all of your opponent’s rear-guards instead of one rear-guard. [AUTO](RC):At the end of the battle it attacked a vanguard, COST [put this unit into your soul], look at three cards from the top of your deck, put one card from among them on the top of your deck, put one card from among them on the bottom of your deck, and put the rest into your soul.

You still have to choose. You can’t just boardwipe like Blademaster. This matters…eh, sometimes. Not enough to really give any real craps about. No, the relevance is in how you can re-use the second skill alongside Fenrir to stack the deck, for an itial -1, but then redrawing to wash and in some situations plus. But me, I’m not such a big fan. I don’t really like IMPLIED soft pressure unless it’s virtually costless or it’s a nice bonus, like CEO Amaterasu or similar, because you get diminishing returns if you don’t actually score anything. You won’t really get the opponent to overguard unless they’re bad players, and you shouldn’t assume that or it colours your perception of the card.

So while the board wipe may be nice, as a Vanguard it has no relevance after that. As a way to fuel Fenrir, yes it adds some consistency but there are more devastating combos out there.

2.5/5
