Garkago Dragon-Fire
Civilization, 7 mana, 6000+ attack, and “Double
Breaker. This Creature gets +1000 for each other
fire creature you have in the battle zone. This
creature can attack untapped creatures.”
This and the card for Wednesday are the only
worthwhile SR cards from this set. This card
basically says, “You know what don’t worry about
that Gatling Skyterror, I can be much better.”
If this card had cost one less mana it would be so
much better. This makes it cost the same as Gatling
Skyterror, and you almost get the same effect. But
then, ah ha, you notice its other ability to gain
attack for other reds…and what is red known for
doing? Rushing, that’s right. Which means you almost
always have another creature on the field making
this at least equivalent to Gatling. But if you play
your deck right you can have a stronger creature. If
your red deck is consistently having its creatures
decimated, use Gatling…if your red deck is
consistently doing its job of having a plethora of
creatures to wield, then this card is your better
choice.
Constructed: 3.5/5- This card can take out some big
creatures when it needs to.
Limited: 5/5-Since it reads “All other fire cards”
his power isn’t restricted by lack of a certain
type.

Garkago Dragon
Cool Picture. This is basically Gatling Skyterror.
Only this card is from a better race, and it has a
nice pump effect, that allows it to take down really
big creatures. In a Nature/Fire deck this could see
play as early as turn five. In fact I wouldn't be
surprised if this card became Fire/Nature's turn
five bomb. This and Gatling Skyterror are best in
multiples. Anyone that has managed to get two
Skyterror's into play knows this. Unlike Gatling
Skyterror this card can potentially beat many other
turn seven drops. Put four of this AND Gatling
Skyterror into a Nature/Fire deck. Then watch as
your opponent runs in terror. Sure your opponent can
bounce it or destroy it. But the insane mana gain of
nature will allow you to put multiples of him and
Skyterror into play faster than the opponent can
kill them.
Final Rating: 5 (Great for Nature/Fire)
Limited: 3 Not so great. It costs too much mana for
one thing.

Garkago Dragon
Ew.. cool picture ;x
Garkago Dragon: Fire Creature, 7-Mana, 6000+, Double
Breaker. This creature also gets +1000 for each Fire
creature you have in the battle zone, and it can
untapped untapped creatures. Not bad.
Is this card good? Only in Mono-Red, pretty much. I
think this card is trying to be both Bolshack Dragon
and Gatling Skyterror. I prefer Bolshack Dragon as
my beefy Fire creature personally, but I can see
Garkago Dragon doing pretty well. I dunno, I guess
it's on preference for this card.
In Limited this card is decent. Seven Mana is not
too bad, but it is really high for Draft decks. The
odds of having many Fire creatures aren't that good,
but it is possible. It is a Super Rare, so the odds
of pulling it are,well, slim to none. It can pull if
off, but can you pull it? XD
Tournament: 2/5
Limited: 2/5

Garkago Dragon
(Armored Dragon) - 7 / 6000+
Mono-Fire is going to be the BOMB! But do I want to
spend 7 to get this dragon on the board, or do I
want to use that same 7 to get Braid Claws, Vorg,
Gett, and Zyler on the board? Or evolve to Valdios
or Groblav? Maybe the people in your area play
slower than in my area. Why just a couple of
Saturday's ago, I was killed Turn 4 by a Red Rush
deck. There are better Fire creatures and especially
Spells coming out in Rampage that I would want in my
deck instead of this dragon.
Constructed - 0.5 / 5
Limited - 0 / 5 (let the rare drafter have it)

Garkago Dragon-
Super Rare- #S4 Rampage of the Super Warriors (at
least its not as weird as Evo Crushinators of Doom)
Hey people sorry I havn't written a review all
summer. I have been very buisy with trips and
conventions like Origins. Well Im back and ready to
do some more reviews.
Well this day we have the 4th Super Rare from the
new set, Garkago Dragon. This card reminds me of a
simmilar card not made too long ago named Bolshack
Dragon because of his fire pumping ability. Even
though Bolshacks pumping ability is better I think
Garkago is better just because he can attack
untapped creatures Which can be very valuable. You
can attack all those annoying elf-X and other
support creatures on the field, then when your
opponet is helpless just attack thier shields with
the double breaker.
With the current speed of the Fire Civalization you
should have no trouble having a multitude of
creatures out by turn 7. When Garkago does come out
it should be at least a 9000 creature. Garkago has
two weaknesses though, The first one is that he is a
creature and like all creatures he is easily
destroyed by creature distruction. The other
weakness is his high cost. By turn seven the opponet
should have a huge creature out too or has some
other means of getting rid of getting rid of your
Garkago. That is his big problem, his cost. For a
deck to be made with him in it, it would have to
swarm with a bunch of little creatures than on turn
seven play him making him as big as possible.
Ratings:
Constructed- 3.5/5(in mono red deck) He can be very
good here since you can build your own deck around
him. just remember to be fast
Limited- 2.5/5 he may be a double breaker 6000 but
the chance that you would build a mono red deck is
very small =/ he would have gotten a 1 if he wasnt
double breaker.
Final thought- if you use him dont put him into play
unless you have either a good reason to or you have
a multitude of red creatures

Hey everyone! Fish here reviewing Garkago Dragon
from the Rampage set. By the way, if you own a
Nintendo Gamecube and even remotely like RPG's, get
Tales of Symphonia. It's excellent. Anyway, Garkago
Dragon. It's a more powerful Gatling Skyterror. With
+1000 power for every fire creature in the battle
zone (note I wrote every), It can quickly become a
hazard in mono red decks. But it's not so good when
you think about the general strategy of red. Your
normally supposed to get out a lot of creatures, not
one big one. Overall it's pretty good.
Constructed: 2.5/5 With
red you mostly have to destroy your opponent before
you get seven mana.
Limited: 2.5/5
Slightly better, because you don't get Terror Pit,
but worse because you can't choose the red cards of
your choice as well.
Chips' Review
Chips
This card is good in mono-red decks but not in red
rush because the point of red rush is to defeat your
opponent quickly. This card is definetely not as
good as Bolshack Dragon but it's good enough taking
7 mana for a 6000 power creature with an effect of
this creature gets +1000 power for every fire
creature in the battle zone that's yours and your
opponent's creatures and it has Double Breaker.
Pros: Strong, Good
Effect, Double Breaker
Cons: Takes too much
mana
Constructed: 3/5
Stick with Bolshack
Limited: 2.5/5
