What's up, you guys?! With Set 11 right around the corner, I guess we might as well take a look at a few unsung gems...or plain rocks depending on how you see them. First off, we have...

Covert Demonic Dragon, Mandala Lord
Power: 11000
Grade 3
Clan: Murakumo
Race: Abyss Dragon
[CONT](VC/RC):If you have a non-«Murakumo» vanguard or rear-guard, this unit gets [Power]-2000.
[AUTO] (VC):[Counter Blast (1) & Choose a card named "Covert Demonic Dragon, Mandala Lord" from your hand, and discard it] At the beginning of the guard step of the battle that this unit is attacked, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose one of your opponent's attacking units, and that unit gets [Power]-10000 until end of that battle.

...so out of the 11,000 Trinity of Murakumo, which are ZANBAKU, Shiriyuki and this card, Mandala Lord, most people don't really use this card. Why? Well, mainly because of two reasons: 1.) ZANBAKU beats Mandala as he can be excellent against Crossrides and Break Rides, and 2.) Shiriyuki has Mandala's effect but better as it deducts 20,000 instead of 10,000 like he does. Does this make Mandala Lord a bad card though? Absolutely not. While yes, Shiriyuki and ZANBAKU are better as overall cards, Mandala Lord can still combo really well with either one as putting it with ZANBAKU doesn't restrain you to any Limit Breaks and putting it with Shiriyuki can alway make the opponent weary of any kind of Persona Blast. Also, Mandala Lord has a few search options...though those are probably better ignored as their stats are horrible...

..though overall, Mandala Lord is still a great card to have should you not have enough for the other parts of the Murakumo Trinity.

Rating: 3/5
Art: 4/5
Next Time: WHY ARE HIS TEETH SO ILLUMINATING?!

Go Rogue...Go Pro!
