Hey, everyone, and happy President’s day!! I hope
everyone is enjoying their day of complete laziness
and no school. God bless America…. I’m about ready
to finish off Starfox: Assault for the G-Cube, so
I’m happy. Too bad for the rest of you, you get this
card for your COTD.
Billion Degree Dragon
Cost: 10
Civilization: Fire
Power:15000
Type: Armored Dragon
Ability: Triple Breaker
Well, what do I have to say about this card?...it’s
freakin’ huge, that’s for sure. 15000 is nothing to
shake your tail at. I’ll save the negative stuff for
later…
The Plus Side
This card is strong…and it’s red…and it triple
breaks. That’s really it. I can’t see anything else
good about it, (unless you say that it’s saved by a
Kip Chipotto from anything, basically). Strength is
always a good thing, (not to me, though), and it can
determine the situation. No blocker can really stop
it, excluding Alek. It’s a monster. And it triple
breaks. Triple Breakers are nice. More than half of
your opponent’s shields are gone and you’re
basically half way there, what’s not to like?
The Negative Side
Ok, now that is over with, I can start bashing on
this card like gangbusters ;)
This card is really a big, over-powered,
over-expensive piece of k-rap. I really cannot
imagine anyone being able to play this card. Where
should I start?...
First, the mana cost. 10. Those who play this game
at all would know that 10 is not that easy to get.
Those who use red know that it is almost impossible
to get 10 in the mana zone without using green with
it. Red is primarily used for speed, but it does
focus on strength and power ups a lot, but this card
is just ridiculous.
Second, this card is 10. I can’t really stress this
enough. Add it up, what could you play for 10?
2 Bombats?
Any human then a Valdios or Groblav?
3 Rikabus?
3 Brawler Zylers and 2 Mini Titans?
There are a lot of better things a person with red
can do with 10 mana. This is just a waste. Plus, it
doesn’t get the speed attacker thing, so it sits
there for a turn, which it will probably die in a
minute or two.
Third, what the hell kind of name is “Billion-Degree
Dragon”??!!! Seriously, that has to be the worst
name of any card so far.
“Armored Blaster Valdios”- Genius
“Aqua Sniper”- Great
“Explosive Dude Joe”- Simply Amazing.
But Billion-Degree Dragon? I think you get the
point.
The Limited Side
If you can get this guy out on the field in limited,
and win the tournament, I will personally eat my
deck, box included!!! J/k
Yea, don’t take it, unless you want the trade bait.
That’s really all its good for. Grabbing the
attention of little kids and they’ll trade almost
anything they have for one.
The Recap
Let’s go over the + and – again
Pluses
+ It’s strong
+ It triple breaks
+ It gets saved by Kip Chipotto!!!!!
Minuses
- It really sucks
- Waste of mana
- Waste of space in your deck
- will probably die next turn.
- I would rather have 3 rikabus. I’d settle for a
Twin-Cannon..
- Worst name in the game. Period
Constructed(Red+Green Mana production)-1.5/5-
I gave it a decent score. If you can get it out by 6th
turn, I see it’s pluses, but besides that, it blows
Constructed(Red+any other color or none)-1/5-
I’d give it worse, but…
Limited-2/5-
It’s red mana at least…That’s good, right?
Art-2.5/5-The
only good thing about the card, and that it has
monster trade bait value.
Ok, that’s it for the disaster formally known as
Billion-Degree Dragon. If anyone has any questions,
