Hello and welcome back to Pojo.com's Card of the Day! Today we're taking a quick look at a card that used to see a lot of play in Rush decks but has been cycling out for other Drakon choices such as Flame Spinner. Let's take a look at Jet-Thrust Darter.

Name: Jet-Thrust Darter
Civilization: Fire
Type: Creature
Race: Dune Gecko
Level: 3
Power: 1000
Flavor Text: Their astounding speed catches even experienced duelists off guard.
Rarity: Common
Set Number: 40/55 l 4EVO

Abilities:
Fast Attack (This creature can attack on the turn it enters the battle zone.)

Jet-Thrust Darter is one of the cheapest costing Fast Attackers in the entire game of Kaijudo. It's balanced out by only having 1000 power and that it's a level 3 creature. It doesn't really have any relevant evolutions that are played in Rush decks currently.

This is a great card for early aggression and if you're trying to win as soon as you can, however, it can make you more susceptible to shield blasts including the dreaded Bottle of Wishes. Overall a fairly underwhelming card when you can run a level 4 with 5000 power also with Fast Attack.

This card could still see some play, however, most people are focused on using Drakons or Enforcers to do their fast attacking for them. With the new set just about two weeks away, I'm sure we'll get even more tools to try out for those of us who use Rush decks. Until then, we'll need to work with what we have and overall, this card does what it's designed to do.

Ratings:

Constructed: 2.50/5.00 (The only deck it really fits in is Rush and even then it has little cohesion with the deck in terms of evolutions and is easily dealt with by just about any Blocker.)
Limited: 3.25/5.00 (You can go aggressive against your opponent and not have to worry about Bottle of Wishes in the sealed format. Sealed play is often won by those who can attack the fastest or buy enough time to get their larger creatures out.)
