Welcome to Very Rares from Fatal Brood

They could also be a lot better. Let's

Power:
9000
Mana
Generated: 1
Rarity:
Super Rare
Set:
Fatal Brood of Infinate Ruin
Let's see. Expensive
evolution with little cheap evo bait, a
weak power level for an evolution, an
extremely specfic ability that supports
a decent race. Well, let's not kill him
yet...
Civilization/Race: Well, he
fits the description of being Darkness.
He's ugly, and he kills things. Such is
the way of darkness. He's a Dark Lord,
which have a few representatives, some
with pretty good abilities. He also has
great synergy with Ghosts, but more on
that later.
Cost:
Seven mana is a LOT for an evo
creature. Dark Lords are ALL notorious
for having high summoning costs. He's
not cheap, and there's no real way to
lower his cost.
Power:
9000 power is good, but really, there's
better out there. And either way,
Terror Pit still pwns him.
Ability(s):
He double breaks. We've been there,
done that. You love it, I love it, we
want some more of it.
Secondly, when you put a
ghost into the battle zone, you get to
Death Smoke an opponent's monster. This
is a real specific requirement, and
there aren't too many ghosts worth
playing. This guy could be SICK in a
Jack Viper deck, though.
Now that we've looked at
these stats, let's see how they stack
up!
Constructed
Overview: Meh, he's decent,
but not stellar. He'd need a deck
based around him, but I wouldn't bet the
farm on him. 2.5/5
Limited Overview:
I don't think there are any other Dark
Lords in this set. Thus, he cannot be
used. Besides, if memory serves, there
are no ghosts to get the effect.
NO/5
I'll
actually be at GQ this weekend. Maybe
I'll drop a tourney report. Feel free
to e-mail me any time at
rebellee1187@msn.com. Till then,
keep dueling. Kettou Da!
Wednesday: I'm
guarding the secret with my life.
