Evil Blast …

A simple enough trap card … which I like … And it’s really just average at best. You give your opponent’s monster a power boost, but they take 500 damage each standby phase in return. Obv this is for a Burn/Stall Deck, in which your opponent won’t be attacking much anyway, just steadily hemorrhaging life points. And it’s a nice idea, I suppose. There are so many vast options for burning these days, so Evil Blast isn’t the best one or most original, but it’s far from the worst either. It’s just a new option depending on what type of build u have in mind. So I’ll give it an average score. Yes – FYI – “3” is average. Not a ‘good’ score. Not a ‘bad’ score. Average.

Evil Blast: cool name, hot art… 

I mean the flames.  It’s a bad pun.  Not – you know it’s a bad card when I go to this length with such a weak joke.  >_< 

This is a Normal Trap but its effect has you Equip it to an opponent’s monster… making it vulnerable to removal.  It states it can only be activated when a monster is Special Summoned to your opponent’s side of the field and it can only Equip itself to that monster.  Something so vulnerable and restricted must have a killer effect.  It… boosts that monster's ATK by 500.

Oh, and it does 500 damage to your opponent during each of their Standby Phases.  At least it’s worded so that if you take control of the target monster, your opponent still takes the burn damage.  The thing is, I don’t know why you’d run this card even in such a deck: I’d rather make room for cards like Blast Sphere, Dimension Wall, Misfortune, and Zoma the Spirit. 

This card is notable for one thing at least: its artwork wasn’t censored.  No, not that… the horns.  You’ll recall what happened to cards like Dark Ruler Ha Des: his horns get turned into… orbs. @_@

Artwork: 3/5 – There’s one two things I dislike about the illustration, and I docked it a point for that.
