Storm Dominator, Commander Thavas
You know, if I wanted an easy GB2 sprung I'd have just
ran 4 Lambros. Commander Thavas like Lambros isn't GB2
restricted but needs to be to get the fullest mileage
out of him. Once per turn he chooses a RG, does a G
Persona Blast, and the chosen unit gains 5k power and
the ability to attack from the back row. Then if you
have GB3 active after this, you get to retire an enemy
rear-guard if you successfully declare a fourth attack.
Well, it's nice...I guess? I suppose having a way to
ensure every battle for that turn can land helps, but to
be frank it only really exists for Thavas's sake,
because any other boss G3 he can combine with tends not
to give two shits as long as a minimum quota on battles
is met. Even later in the game when this could be
combined with Thavas for a +2 in cost-less advantage, by
that stage I would rather stake a win on the soft
advantage and better capacity to finish with Lambros. 2
more attacks is 10k more shield thrown out so about -2
minimum, -4 if it's all 5k shields and you're lucky.
This, this is an extra 5k from the souped up unit plus a
+2 hard advantage that doesn't affect the opponent's
hand. So all in all in terms of long term benefits I'd
rather have Lambros, especially given Thavas's lack of
freedom on what dies.
Retirement isn't Aqua Force's strong point and shouldn't
be encouraged really. It's a 2-of copy just so he works
at most but since it isn't enough to entirely screw with
field filler decks just put your stakes in consecutive
attacks.

So, the other Aqua Force stride from this set that's
worth a RRR spot. No specific heart needed,
persona flip, give a back-row unit +5000 power and the
ability to attack from the back row? Nice.
If this is your second stride and you're at GB3, on the
4th attack, and ONLY on the 4th attack, not attacks
afterwords, whatever unit attacks the Vanguard gets to
select three of your opponent's units, but, sadly, they
get to choose one of them to retire, not you.
Still, it can be a pain in the butt to deal with if not
accounted for properly.
Not sure if better than yesterday's card, but it is
pretty good for a general purpose stride.
Rating: 3.5/5
