Name: Nastasha, Channeler of Suns

Cost: 7
Race: Mecha del Sol
Civilization: Light
Type: Creature
Rules Text:
Double breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.)
When one of your shields would be broken, you may destroy this creature
instead.

Flavor Text:
The universe trembles at its beauty.

Power: 6000
Mana Number: 1
Artist: Masaki Hirooka
Rarity: S
Collector Number: S1
Set: Epic Dragons of Hyperchaos
Civilization: Save the king/queen even if it mean kill your self
Effect: Double breaker, self explanatorily.

When one of your shields would be broken, you may destroy this creature

instead. Again self explanatorily. but is it worth it? IMO no, this creature can do more by attacking than killing it self to. Also by the way it's worded I see it is if a double breaker were to hit a shields this thing could only save one. and if that was your only shield left and the double breaker were to hit it, and you sac this guy to save it the shield would still die, because of the way a double breaker attacks, but that's my belief. So all you would really use this thing for is to attack, nothing more or less.

Cost: 6 or more cost+ 6000 or more power= free double breaker
the save the shield effect as seen in another card cost for for little guys, so this guy is cost efficient.

Constructed: 1/5 no there are better options, don't make me smack you with a wet noodle.
Limited: 1/5 see above
 
Ferret Mage Nastasha, Channeler of Suns
Cost: 7
Race: Mecha Del Sol
Civilization: Light
Power: 6000
Effect:
-Double Breaker
-When one of your shields may be broken, you may destroy this creature instead.
Flavor: It isn't the flavor of the week, that's for sure.

Light week continues!!!!!!

Cost: Mana cost is very important in DM, so if a card is going to cost 7 mana it's gotta be good. This card....meh....it cost to much for it's power, Double Breaker is a gimme, but the effect could be good when used correctly. It also won't be able to attack till next, meaning that your opponent could potentially Death Smoke it.

Race: Mecha Del Sol were a new race that was released in Epic Dragons, so they have no evos to support 'em. But this is the second cheapest Mecha Del Sol, so if a evolution was released later on your might be able to use this guy as evo bait.

Power: 6000 power for 7 mana really isn't all that great, but Light seems to have an attraction to creatures with power being less than the mana cost. 6000 power also means that it'll be prey to spells like Volcanic Arrows and Apocalypse Vise. What's worse is that there are plenty of creatures that cost less and have more power that'll be able to take this guy down.

Effect: I'll get the Double Breaker out of the way first, any creature 6 and over should have it, plain and simple. Now the real reason why you would run this card is for it's "Shield Saver" ability. When your opponent is about to destroy your very last shield, you can save it by destroying this creature instead. This is particularly use full in the late game where your shields have probably taken a beating. Suppose you laid a Terror Pit down with Emeral and your opponent attacks with some wussy creature that you can easily take down, you want to save that shield for a fattie he's got in his hand, well just take this creature down and save that shield.

But the problem with this creature is that it was always puts in you a bad position, no matter what happens your going to have a disadvantage. You could lose a creature or lose a shield, both of which you would never want to choose between. This card is best used as a stall tactic, pure and simple.

Constructed: 2/5 Stall, Stall, Stall
Limited: 1/5 Not much to say
Art: 4/5 I like it, so sue me.

Welcome, I'm back for another COTD and this time, we'll be Rating a Card that I personally deem inferior. Onwards.

There are 3 Mecha Del Sol up to this point, and each and every one of them sucks. It's sisters are all Dragon Haters, and this card isn't changing that. It has 6000 attack, leaving it open to Apocalypse and Terror. However,

it breaks 2 Shields. That's a plus. But... It's some kind of weird Blocker.
It's able to suicide in exchange that 1 of your shields aren't broken. Now this is disastrous if your opponent uses a Weenie creature to attack and this creature dies. (7 Mana, 6000, dies to weenie. Pathetic.)

It costs 7 mana, thus making it automatically expensive. It has 6000 for 7 Mana, double Breaker and that little effect of Harikiri. All in all, your basic fatty who likes dying.

Constructed: 2/5 (I don't think anyone will play this. Do you?)
Limited: 1/5 (Epic on its own cannot help this card.)
Rarity: 2/5 (Sell it. Don't bother buying it and just Sell or Trade. It isn't worth its Super Rare effect.)

... 5/15.

Name: Nastasha, Channeler of Suns

Cost: 7

Race: Mecha Del Sol

Civ: Light

Type: Creature

Rules Text:

Double Breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields)

When one of your shields would be broken, you may destroy this creature instead.

Cost&Power&Effect: 7 mana for Double Breaker and the chance to save a shield. I'd rather play Syforce, Aurora Elemental, for its Blocker, Double Breaker, and the ability to return something like Holy Awe from my mana to my Hand.

Art: Syforce is much more lovely card to look at.

Rating:

Constructed: 1.5

Limited: 2/5

Art: Did I mention the art on Syforce yet? I did? 1/5
