Himura363 Name: Bolshack Dragon
Cost: 6
Race: Armored Dragon
Civilization: Fire
Type: Creature
Rules Text:
While attacking, this creature gets +1000 power for each fire card in your graveyard.
Double breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.)
Flavor Text:
The last city that offended it is now a ruin.
Power: 6000+
Mana Number: 1
Rarity: Very Rare
Set: Base Set

Race:
Armored Dragon. Dragons don't have much potential now, but when Set 8 (Epic Dragons of Hyperchaos) comes out, there will be a lot of support. So far in the Armored Dragon race, there are 2 Armored Dragon Evos: Uberdragon Zaschack and Uberdragon Jabaha, neither very good.

Power:
6 for 6000 is ok, but its ability makes up for that. Most Fire creatures end up in the graveyard like Rikabu Screwdriver or the Dismantler, etc. +2000 for each would be better, but +1000 is fine.

Support:
Fire Birds like Cocco Lupia help drastically decrease Dragon's mana cost, and when combined with Elf-Xs, you will find yourself not paying much for your infamous high cost dragons.

Usefulness:
This card can get killed by alot played, but that can be said for many cards. Bolshack is too slow, I would rather get 2 Pyrofighters out for the same cost and sweep fast instead of waiting. I have Corile'd this card many times, and I enjoyed doing so. Please don't give your opponent enjoyment when he Death Smokes, Snares, Coriles, Pits, Vortex, Spiral Gate, etc this card.

Limited:
There are a lot of faster things than Bolshack in Base Set. There is also a lot of destruction and bouncing. 4/10

Fire Decks:
Fire is known for Rush, and Bolshack is not very fast. Speed attackers, low cost creatures, etc would be better. 4/10

4cc Decks:
4cc likes more controlling elements like Corile, Merfolk, Cryptic, Bolmeteus, Bazagazeal, Hulcus, and others more than power. 3/10

Picture:
Bolshack kinda looks like a dragon with a fierce lion's head. I like Oriental-ish dragons more than I like warrior type dragons, but Bolshack is an exception. 7/10

There's my review, Send a hate/love/moron e-mail to ZZ363@aol.com
Just remember, if you say something stupid, Ia mnot afraid to sig it =P
