We’re rounding up our week with a look at yet another Dragon (big surprise huh?). This Dragon just so happens to be one of our unique Evolution creatures for this set that brings more viability to multi-color Dragon decks out there. Let me introduce you to Sok’ran the Untamed!

Name: Sok’ran the Untamed
Civilization:
Nature
Type: Evolution Creature
Race:
Earthstrike Dragon
Level:
7
Power:
11000
Flavor Text: Allie: “Victory begets more victories. Everyone follows a winner.” –The Choten
Rarity: Very Rare
Set Number:   52/55 l 6DSI

Abilities:

Evolution – Put on one of your Dragons.
Double Breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.)
Dragon Frenzy-
Whenever one of your Dragons wins a battle, choose one of your opponent’s shields. That Dragon breaks that shield.

Sok’ran is one of two evolution creatures that allow you to play it on any one of your Dragons. It doesn’t restrict you to playing it on an Armored Dragon like Evo Fury Tatsurion. This can get people thinking whether or not you can summon an evolution creature and attack right away (this is a very real possibility with the aid of the new firebirds).

A Level 7 with 11000 power is nothing to shake a stick at… it’s actually more like shaking a giant oak tree! For a Level 7 Dragon Evolution however, I would either expect more power or a huge effect and instead, I tend to think of and compare this card to “Tekamora the Wretched” which is a Level 6, 11000 power creature. For one level less I can play Tekamora; let’s not forget that there are plenty more low level targets to work with in the Chimera department as opposed to all of those Level 5 Dragons out there!

Okay, okay… Sok’ran does have a fairly decent ability called, “Dragon Frenzy”. This ability basically makes it a Bestial Rage Tatsurion but for all of your Dragons. Every time your Dragon wins a battle, you can have that creature break a shield (sorry Lepidos fans, these ones actually break). It’s a quick way to eat away at your opponent’s shields but requires a lot of devotion to summoning lots of Dragons.

Overall, I really don’t see this card seeing a ton of play in constructed events. I suppose it can combo well with a Light Civilization deck that taps their creatures, banishes them, and then breaks their shields but only time will tell.

Ratings:

Constructed: 2.75/5.00 (It’s a big body evolution creature that can get rid of shields by attacking creatures… but they break. There are just better evolutions out there and stronger dragons in general for the amount of resources you’re putting into just one card. )

Limited: 3.25/5.00 (In limited this card can see more play and can stand up to most cards, except for the ones that cost two more mana.)

I hope you all enjoyed our week of reviews, I know I did! Make sure to stop by next week when we review even more unique cards that you may or may not have utilized in your deck as of yet. Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!

Ah Friday, I wish it symbolized the weekend for me. But I work at a crappy bank that is open 7 days a week. So instead of having fun testing decks this weekend I will be working this weekend. I digress. Let's move on to the review.

Sok'ran the Untamed:
Cost 7
Nature
Earthstrike Dragon
Power 11000

Evolution — Put on one of your Dragons.
Double Breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.)
Dragon Frenzy — Whenever one of your Dragons wins a battle, choose one of your opponent's shields. That Dragon breaks that shield.
Alright so lets break this down! Sok'ran is an evolution and much like our review of Kendrix we want to look at all the evolution bait. So as we know from Kendrix, Sok'ran has plenty of evo bait that are "cheaper" and good stand alone cards. So with that said we need to look at his effect.

Double breaker is standard, but it's effect Dragon Frenzy is kind of underwhelming. I like cards that can break shields when winning a battle. Being an evo he can catch some tapped creatures off guard and break some sheilds but here is the problem. Most dragons have a big body and a higher cost which is tough to take full advatange of Sok'ran's effect. So heres the problem. You have to get rid of one of your dragons to put this out on the board which takes away from his effect already.

Summary:
So in comparison to Kendrix, he is sorely outclassed. Still I don't consider this a bad card, just that there are better options. Still I would like to see what people will do with this card.

Constructed 2.5/5
Limited 3.5/5

Enjoy yalls weekend we will see you next week!
