Welcome to our Tuesday edition
of the Card of the Day here at Pojo.com! As you
might have guessed, we’re covering the Very Rares
from DragonStrike Infernus this week. If you guys
haven’t gotten a chance to see the new set, it’s
out! Go to your local shop and buy yo’self sum
dragons! Onto today’s card, Kindrix, the Psionic!
Name: Kindrix, the
Psionic
Civilization: Water
Type: Evolution Creature
Race: Tsunami Dragon
Level: 6
Power: 9000
Flavor Text: N/A
Rarity: Very Rare
Set Number: 17/55 l 6DSI
Abilities:
Evolution- Put on one of your Dragons.
Double Breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.)
Psionic Aura- This creature can’t be blocked.
Mindhack- At the end of each of your turns,
you may draw a card for each shield that was broken
that turn.
Kindrix has very unique abilities. For the fact it’s
an Evolution Creature, it’s expected that it should
have Double Breaker. It has 9000 power, so it’s able
to get over most non-evolution creatures out there
with relative ease. It’s also a Level 6, so it’s
relatively easy to get out by the time that you are
able to get a dragon out into the battle zone.
Its first unique ability is
called, Psionic Aura. This basically turns Kindrix
into a Neuron in terms of its unblockability.
Unblockable 9000 power is a serious threat! Even if
you don’t use this guy to break shields, he can
essentially snipe off one of your opponent’s
creatures every turn, assuming they attacked or you
tapped them with some effect or spell.
What makes this card even
better is it’s other ability, Mindhack. This
basically says, if you break a shield, at the end of
the turn, you draw a card for each one broken!
Normally when you attack your opponent’s shields,
they’re the only one’s gaining an advantage, now;
you get a taste of what it can be like too! The cool
thing about this is that Kindrix doesn’t have to be
the one breaking the shields! Any of your creatures
can break a shield; as long as Kindrix remains in
the battle zone at the end of the turn, you get free
cards… and who doesn’t like free cards?
Okay, now for the other side of
the argument. When I heard we were getting Dragon
Evolutions, I expected some ridiculous monstrosity
for 7-9 mana. I mean, take a look at Evo Fury
Tatsurion, he evolves from a Dragon and gets Triple
Breaker, a nifty ability, and 12000 power! Instead
we get a 6 cost creature that only has 9000 power
and Double Breaker… what? The ability is nice but
requires Kindrix to live through the potential
threat of a Terror Pit/Root Trap. The unblockable
aspect is really good as a finisher but doesn’t
really seem needed unless your opponent has no
shields whatsoever left. It is nice that it can
evolve from any dragon though. Regardless, this is
still a good card to tech in and try out. It can win
you games but honestly should have more power for a
“pumped-up dragon”.
Ratings:
Constructed: 3.25/5.00
(I would say that it’s able to come out of nowhere,
however, unless you have a bunch of firebirds in the
battle zone (and even then), it’s pretty obvious
that you’re running dragons. Unblockable and can
potentially draw you cards, not bad. )
Limited: 4.25/5.00
(There are a lot of Dragons in this set, so it’s
pretty easy to be able to play Kindrix in limited.
Not only that but the number of spells that will
banish your creatures are extremely limited.
Definitely worth considering for your limited
decks!)
Make sure to stop back tomorrow
when we take a look at the Darkside of the force!
Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep
calm and game on!
