I must say, this card is literally the reason why I am returning to Card of the Day, for good. Asura Priest is one of my favorite cards. It isn't exactly a top of the line card, but the effect is simply perfect for my tournament environment. Around where I play, Nimble Momonga and Scapegoat are played
religiously, and this card simply smacks 'em all up.
Being able to attack all of your opponent's monsters really is nice in a situation where you need to make a comeback. However, only being a 1700 attack power monster, most of the time isn't going to take down an Army of Bazoo's, Goblin Attack Forces, or Gemini Elf's. So this card really isn't nearly a staple in the game.
The fact that it goes back to your hand at the end of your turn is kind of a downer. It can also be good though, since you need not worry of a snatch steal threat or the Asura Priest being killed by a magic card.
My Rating: Well, regardless on how much I love this card, chances are, it will not be AS helpful in your play metagame. So I'm giving this puppy a 3.5, since it's a bit above average.
Have a great day! |
