Race!
Today's card is a bit of a Challenge. You can play
it at T0, with one Hand Cost. Let's say you play it,
and it's a race between your Opponent and you to see
who gets to T5 the fastest. The prize? Moving it to
your Chakra Area, and whoever got to T5 (or higher)
first draws three cards. This card would be good as
a Sideboard option for Lightning. I wouldn't
recommend using it against a Pain Deck because of
Turn Control. Now, if you manage to fit it in a Pain
Deck, this is a guaranteed three-card draw plus
Chakra. I'm not sure of what themes we'll be seeing
in this new Tournament Pack will bring, but this is
one interesting Mission indeed.
Another set, another week of exclusives previews...
Today's card is a pretty straight forward mission;
whoever gets to turn 5 first wins three battle
rewards. Initially, I thought this card was pretty
trashy. If you end up having to go second, this card
will end up being useless, and even if you go first,
it is susceptible to getting hit with Hina; however,
both of these downsides have loop-holes to get
around them. The card's loop-hole is in its trigger
-- "When a player's turn marker becomes 5 or
higher". By playing this card on your turn 4 or
higher, you will have an almost guaranteed 3 card
draw, assuming you're not playing against Void. Your
opponent's turn marker shouldn't be changing during
your turn, and they cannot Hina either. In my eyes,
the card is pretty much like this:
T4 HC:1
Permanent
At the end of your turn, draw 3 cards.
Probably the most obvious use for this card is by
playing it in a Void-Lightning deck, since Void more
or less has the "time-control" theme. While the card
draw is nothing to scoff at, Void has many other
draw missions that it may find more useful, such as
Invasion, but it might find room in a deck. For
non-Void Lightning, it's a possibly playable card if
you don't mind waiting until the end of your turn 4
or higher to draw.
Limited: 2.5/5
Unlimited: 2/5
Block: 3/5
Interesting Scenario: Both player's are on T1.
Player A played Race on T0. This turn, Player A
plays "4 Times Faster". Who draws the three cards,
since both players will hit turn 5 simultaneously?
