Oooh a new week, and a new CoTD. How spiffy.
Cannon Soldier:
Casual Play: 4.0
Tourney Play: 3.0
Overall Play: 3.5
Pros:
+ It has a good effect.
+ Decent stats, for an effect monster.
+ Fun card ^_^
+ Awesome in direct damage decks
Cons:
- Even if its attack and defense is good for
an effect mon still low attack and defense
- Can be easily fissured
- Standard mon removal cards fissure, tribute to the
doomed, raigeki, dark hole, etc etc
RFP: Well this card would stink, but its effect does
make it playable. Its effect is interesting, because
it can do 500 LP of direct damage, for a cost that
isn't very big since it has a deck around it, and
other direct damage cards.(burner) Now usually,
effect monsters have really bad stats, like magician
of faith, and mask of darkness. Both those effect
monsters have low stats, yet they will be really
popular. Now these next two pros, they are just
obvious. This card is got to be one of the most fun
cards in the MRD set. Its fun to do lp damage with
this card, because it can do on average 1000 LP
damage. Which is the same as a tremendous fire,
without the 500 LP Cost. Also this card plays a part
in a deck that imo will see play. The deck is
burner, this deck revolves around doing direct
damage. So you have things like Tremendous fire, and
just desserts with other helpful burning cards, and
this card is one of those.
RFC: One of the first reasons why this card has a
con is, because its stats aren't to great. I mean
1400 attack 1300 defense? I don't think so.
Although you could power it up with a sword of the
deep-seated, but its effect makes the card not that
great. Also since it has low stats it can be
fissured easily, but anything can be fissured,
because you mostly only get 2 monsters on the field
with all the monster removal we have. Also we have
the standard monster removal cards raigeki, dark
hole, tribute to the doomed, and even mirror force
if the cannon soldier is in attack mode, and
attacks, but with burner you don't attack to often
so mirror force won't really be used.
Combos:
Change of heart + Cannon Soldier: You get to discard
an oppenent's mon to do 500 direct damage to them..
Change of heart + magician of faith + Cannon
soldier: same as above but you can do 1000 to them
when you discard the magician of faith, and the
oppenents monster.
Cannon Soldier + other burning cards: This works,
because you can do a lot of direct damage with the
other burning cards.
Cannon Soldier + effect monsters: Use their effect
up and then discard them for damage.
Well thats meh cotd thxs for tuning in and have a
nice day, and as always good luck and happy dueling.
