Welcome back everyone to Pojo.com's Card of the Day! From here on out we're going to give your our "Shattered Alliances Top Ten Countdown List"! Now, just so everyone knows ahead of time, this list is a combination of others opinions and in some cases some items I did not choose. However, I am willing to review these cards regardless as they all add a unique flavor to our current metagame! Without further ado, number nine is: Blitzer-Mech Falkora!

Name: Blitzer-Mech Falkora
Civilization:
Light/Fire
Type: Creature
Race:
Mecha Thunder/Stomper
Level:
4
Power:
2500
Flavor Text: Ray: "How fast can this thing go?" Gabe: "I've seen it outrun lightning."
Rarity: Very Rare
Set Number: 50/80 l 9SHA

Abilities:
(This card enters your mana zone tapped.)
Fast Attack
(This creature can attack the turn it enters the battle zone.)
Thunderstrike
- Whenever this creature attacks, tap target enemy creature. (First choose what this creature is attacking. then tap the target creature.)

Blitzer-Mech Falkora is a level 4 Light and Fire creature with a very similar ability to a card we reviewed yesterday. Whenever he attacks you can tap an opponent's creature allowing you to sidestep those pesky Blockers or even deal with those creatures that your opponent doesn't want to attack with, like their Fire Birds.

Falkora is easily one of the best dual civilization very rares in this set for that fact alone. How many times have you been in a position that you were about to win (especially your rush players out there) and your opponent had out that pesky Scaradorable of Gloom Hollow? Well now you don't need to worry about it ever again with the addition of this card! Just be glad that Wizards of the Coast thought this card through and didn't make it an Enforcer/Drakon!

Probably the biggest downside of this card is that it only has 2500 power. This can easily be dealt with if your opponent has an Aqua Strider or even a Fullmetal Lemon, as they can simply revenge-kill (banish) your creature the turn after you attack with it. However, if you're playing smarter, then you won't put yourself in that position unless you know that you're going to win that turn or if it benefits you in the long run. This card can also take out other rush cards and avoids the common pitfalls that rush falls to like Barrage. Maybe we'll see the reemergence of Dragon's Breath?

It's my thought that a lot of people will easily compare this card to either Shaw K'Naw or Gilaflame. I can easily see this card, at least to some degree, replacing Gilaflame or reducing the amount of copies that people will run of him. Falkora's effect is too game breaking for rush variants to look the other way and this card will see play competitively at the KMCs. Get your copies now, this card could easily reach $10-$20 in just a few short weeks!

Constructed: 4.25/5.00 (This card will only make rush decks more obnoxious. Prepare your deck to be able to beat this guy or you may find yourself in rough position in the early turns of a game.)
Limited: 2.75/5.00 (Still a good card in limited, however, it's lower level of power often is easily dealt with by a ton of other creatures.)

Make sure to stop by again tomorrow for Number 8 on our countdown! Until next time my fellow Kaijudo Duel Masters, keep calm and game on!
