Chain Blast Dragon

 

Next on the list is Chain Blast Dragon. First skill is as usual a Limit Break: toss two Grade 3s from the hand and Counterblast 2 to retire 3 rear-guards. His normal skill activates on hitting the Vanguard, you retire on of your units to check the top 5 cards of the deck and add a Grade 3 among those cards to your hand.

 

...Okay, this is really terrible. First skill to search? For virtually the same odds as a starter that searches, you're paying a -1 for a +0 wash that may not work 100% of the time. It's seriously wasteful. What's even worse is that assuming you want to use the Limit Break, you have to deliberately hold back 2 potential attackers, then pay -2 for a +3, so it really just works out to being a +1 for CB2. I wouldn't use cards like Cruel Dragon but at least Cruel is a CB1 for a +1 for as long as Late Game reasonably lasts!

 

Chain sucks, both in terms of opportunity cost and setup. Forget this chump.

 

1.5/5

What's up, Rogue Squad?! For this today's promo of the day, we're going to be taking a look at Goku's best friend:

Chain-Blast Dragon
Power: 11000
Grade 3
Clan: Kagero
Race: Flame Dragon
[ACT](VC) Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you have four or more damage):[Counter Blast (1) & Choose two grade 3 or greater «Kagerō» from your hand, and discard them] Choose up to three of your opponent's rear-guards, and retire them.
[AUTO](VC):[Choose one of your «Kagerō» rear-guards, and retire it] When this unit's attack hits a vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, look at up to five cards from the top of your deck, search for up to one grade 3 or greater «Kagerō», reveal it to your opponent, put it into your hand, and shuffle your deck.
[CONT](VC/RC): Lord (If you have a unit without a same clan as this unit, this unit cannot attack)

...I'm not 100% sure to feel about this card. The 11,000 power is always welcomed and being able to retire more than half of your opponent's field is awesome too, however, being able to pull off this effect, even with his non-Limit Break effect, makes it extremely tricky to pull off as you need to discard not one, but two grade 3's. The average deck has roughly 7-8 Grade 3's, and even then, most people only see maybe 3-4 of them at best throughout a game including Damage Checks. In short, you'd only be able to pull this effect off once at the very best.

Chain Blast Dragon is a few links shy of being a good card.

Rating: 2/5
Art: 4/5
Next time: I heard you liked your Break Ride...how about we use that effect again?!

Go Rogue...Go Pro!
...and DON'T be a Sackboy!!!
