I'm sure most of you are anxious to find out when and where the Kaijudo Master Challenges are being held and hopefully in a few short hours we will know! Until then, why don't you sit back and read some Card of the Day articles on Pojo.com? Today we're taking a look at one of the DragonStrike Infernus Release Event promotional cards, Thorn Dragon.

Name: Thorn Dragon
Civilization:
Nature
Type: Creature
Race:
Earthstrike Dragon
Level:
6
Power:
5000+
Flavor Text: Gargle: "Battle analysis complete: suggest stay away from pointy spots." Gabe: "But it's all pointy spots!"
Rarity: Super Rare
Set Number:   P16 l Y1PRM

Abilities:
Powerful Attack +4000 (
While attacking, this creature gets +4000 power.)
Double Breaker 
(This creature breaks 2 shields.)

Thorn Dragon is a little underweight when it comes to its stats. Being that it's a Level 6 and only 5000 power makes it a little undesirable, especially for a Dragon. It does have Double Breaker but that should be a given for most creatures that are Level 6 or higher (unless of course they happen to have an amazing effect).

I suppose to a degree this Dragon could prove to be a thorn in your side (pun intended). With the added in "Powerful Attack +4000," this card can get over a decent amount of other cards in this game outside of some Evolutions and some much larger Dragons.

I feel like this card could  have been a lot more honestly. Even if it had been at least 6000 power, it would have made it more optimal to avoid Tornado Flame as well as being attacked by a Hydra Medusa or Emperor Neuron. If you're looking to use this card for your Evolutions, I would consider some of the Level 5 alternatives. Thorn Dragon isn't a bad card, there's just too many other cards to choose from that are better choices.

Ratings:

Constructed: 2.50/5.00 (You can evolve it and beat some other creatures in the face with it, not much else to say except there are better options.)

Limited: 3.00/5.00 (It's a Dragon in a Dragon set. It has support here and can come out earlier due to Fire Birds.)

Hope to see you back tomorrow for more promo cards on Pojo's Card of the Day! Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!

Middle of the week is always freaking boring. Im ready for the weekend. Plus closing on a house is about as annoying as it comes. So lets talk card games.

Thorn Dragon:

Civilization:
Nature

Card Type: Creature

Level:
6
Race:
Earthstrike Dragon

Card Abilities:
Powerful Attack +4000 (While attacking, this creature gets +4000 power.)
Double Breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.)

Power:
5000+

So one of our DSI promo's is on the review table today and despite the amazing freaking art I am kind of dissapointed in this guy. He doesn't bring much to the table.

I wish he was a 6 for 6k that got Power Attacker +3k because he falls vunerable to Tornado Flame and not to mention any of the other creatures that has a base 6k power. Being a dragon is cool, and I have always had a thing for Nature Dragons, they just seem really cool and different usually. oh ya also dragon support fire birds yadi yadi ya.

Summary:
I wish there was more to talk about, heck I would rather use Treetop Dragon, atleast he collides with some of the other 6 for 6k creatures, but ol Thorny here might have some potential with some perhaps down the line Earthstrike Dragon support.

Constructed: 2/5
Limited: 2.5/5

If you haven't, please check out my Youtube, TheCardAcademyTCG!

Good day to you!
