I'm planning on making an update/announcement video later today with some information that a lot of you guys will want to know about those KMC's, make sure to check it out this afternoon/evening! We end our week of cards that get an effect when banished with one from the Nature Civilization, Manapod Beetle:

Name: Manapod Beetle
Civilization:
Nature
Type: Creature
Race:
Megabug
Level:
2
Power:
1000
Flavor Text: In case of emergency, break beetle.
Rarity: Common
Set Number:   51/55 l 6DSI

Abilities:

Mana Infused – If this creature would be banished, put it into your mana zone instead.

Manapod Beetle is very similar to all of the other cards we reviewed this week. You really want this card to be banished at some point, otherwise, why would you really be playing this card, am I right? It's stats again are the same as yesterday's card with 1000 power on a Level 2 creature, however, this creature just so happens to be a Megabug, so you can always evolve it into the Swarmleader if you really wanted to.

I like to see Manapod as a more stable version of Sprout. The neat thing about this sprout is that it can attack! We all know that Bronze-Arm Sabertooth is an amazing card, and half of that is because he goes to your mana zone when banished as well (albeit he sends two cards instead). If you can be aggressive toward your opponent, they may even be forced to deal with this card by attacking or even using a removal spell on it if necessary. Hey, what do you care? You just got a free card to your mana zone!

Flood the battle zone early with this bugger and expect to get your mana accelerated! If you don't want to wait around then you can combo this card (again? I know!) with Ripper Reaper. Sacrifice your Manapod Beetle, get some free mana and kill off an opponent's creature!

Overall, you may see this card sprout up from time to time in nature decks or rush variants. I wouldn't worry too much about it now but it definitely has some potential if they continue to make effects that activate upon being banished... it could be a deck in itself!

Ratings:

Constructed: 2.75/5.00 (Functions like Sprout except that you don't lose the top card of your deck... and it's a creature that can attack early game.)

Limited: 3.00/5.00 (Mana acceleration and aggression all in one. It can be an effective way to get those Dragons out early!)

Make sure to stop by my channel to see the news about the upcoming KMC's! Next week I'll have a few handpicked cards to discuss with you guys, so, until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
