Hello there my fellow Duel Masters! Long time no review, right? Well after talking with my fellow writer, Tyrone, we’re going to be bringing the reviews back again and hopefully for a while as well. Today we’re wrapping up the top ten cards from 2013 and today’s card has had a lot of hate behind it for its ability to cheat big creatures into play. Let’s take a look at number two on the list: Herald of Infernus

Name: Herald of Infernus
Civilization:
Fire
Type: Creature
Race:
Armored Dragon
Level:
5
Power:
5000
Flavor Text: “Crush them! For the glory of Infernus!”
Rarity: Rare
Set Number: 41/55 l 6DSI


Abilities:
War Cry
- Whenever this creature wins a battle, you may put a non-evolution Dragon from your hand into the battle zone.

Herald of Infernus originally came out in the Dragonstrike Infernus set and was later released via DVD promotion which included an alternate art version of the card. Herald is a simple card in concept but can cause a heap-load of trouble in the right circumstances. In most situations, Dragon players were given numerous optimal play set ups to benefit off of his effect. A turn after playing Herald, one could play Lyra and tap down one of your opponent’s creatures, play Stormspark Blast, Piercing Judgment, or they could even surprise you with a well-timed Herald and Jump Jets!

In the situations when this occurred, an Andromeda of the Citadel or Infernus the Awakened would make an appearance, while other times, Immolator himself would obliterate the field. Either way you put it, it put the opponent at an extreme disadvantage and in some situations, made it nearly impossible to comeback from.

Aggressive strategies were often punished for their desire to end a game quickly and abruptly, especially when bottle of wishes was still around. In most cases, Herald would usually hit the board by turn four anyway, all while the Fire Birds fought off rush tactics with an iron beak.

All in all, Herald of Infernus can be a problematic card that may force you to not play any creatures as a way to avoid his ability altogether. Thankfully (at least for some of us) Herald will be rotating out of the Standard Format at the end of May, as will all of the other Dragon-based support cards like Lyra, Lux, Nix, and Umbra. Until then though, this card will continue to see play regardless of its notoriety.

Constructed: 5.00/5.00 (A level 5 with 5000 power that can be brought out regularly on turn four. If it gets in even one successful attack and wins the battle, expect some rain with a chance of salt.)
Limited: 5.00/5.00 (The set is based around Dragons and being able to get them out even earlier is extremely powerful. Certainly a god among Dragons.)

Make sure to stop by again tomorrow when we conclude the top ten list with another powerful Dragon card. So “Cit” tight and until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game
