Welcome back my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters! In case you’re interested, Invasion Earth has been uploaded to Trade Cards Online, so you can start preparing for the upcoming set. Also there were another set of KMCs this weekend and it turns out that my Mono-Darkness Kalima deck has been gaining popularity! There were slight variations of the deck in the top eight in California, the top two in Maine, and there were two in South Carolina’s top four! I’m ecstatic to see the deck making huge strides in the community and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for the deck! Okay, Halloween is over now… that means all of those pumpkins that were sitting out are probably going to be thrown away or smashed. It only seems appropriate that we cover Haunted Harvest today, so join me as we pay our last respects to the Great Pumpkin and other various vegetables!

Name: Haunted Harvest
Civilization: Darkness/Nature
Type: Creature
Race: Evil Toy/Wild Veggie
Level: 4
Power: 3000
Flavor Text: N/A
Rarity: Common
Set Number: 76/80 l 9SHA

Abilities:
(This card enters your mana zone tapped.)
Blocker (You may tap this creature to change an enemy creature’s attack to this creature.)
Guard- (This creature can’t attack.)
Nutritious- Whenever this creature blocks, you may put the top card of your deck into your mana zone

Haunted Harvest is a level 4 Blocker with 3000 power. He has an ability that allows you to charge a mana from the top of your deck to your mana zone whenever it would block a creature. Overall this isn’t a bad effect, however, I would like to see a little more staying power instead of just the measly 3000 that it does have.

Being that this card is a level 4, I would expect this to have at least 4000 power or maybe an additional effect that when it would be banished, it would go to your mana zone instead like our other veggie Blockers out there. With the ability to simply put the top card of your deck to the mana zone when it blocks... it's more likely that you'll only get to use this effect one time if at all. There are too many cards right now that can banish this card or even bounce it back to your hand. In a best case scenario this card is a stronger version of Bronze-Arm Tribe with Blocker. I suppose if you get Kalima and this card out you have an amazing Blocker, however, you should be winning by then anyway.

Overall, this card isn't as great as it's Wild Veggie predecessors. Full-Metal Lemon and Bloomwarden just do it better and for less mana. The card art is really neat and I love the color combination, but that shouldn't justify you using this card over your other options.  

Constructed: 1.75/5.00 (There are just better Blockers out there.)
Limited: 3.25/5.00 (Blockers are great in limited, especially when they can ramp you up to your next turn.)

I hope you enjoyed today's review! Make sure to check out my article on Alter Reality Games’ website and until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
