As we’ve watched this great game evolve, we’ve
seen some intriguing methods for bolstering the
Dragonoid threat. Dragonoids are cheap,
abundant, and have the ability to evolve and
grow stronger. Now we get to take a look at
Furious Onslaught, which complements the
Dragonoid race by adding a finisher.

Type:
Spell
Rules Text:
-
Until the end of the turn, each of your
Dragonoids in the battle zone is an Armored
Dragon in addition to its other races, gets
+4000 power, and has "Double breaker
(This
creature breaks 2 shields)."
The one great thing about Dragonoids is their
low mana cost, which allows you to swarm and
break shields quickly. The only problem is that
unless your opponent is destroyed within a
couple of rounds, the strategy tends to run out
of gas. This is why a card like Furious
Onslaught is so critical. By boosting all
Dragonoids by 4000 and giving them double
breaker, these formerly weak and unsightly
little critters will get the boost they need to
clear a path to victory. Even a creature like
Pyrofighter Magnus can turn into a Twin-Cannon
Skyterror! Let’s also not forget the fact that
all Dragonoids become Armored Dragons, which can
be combined with the wide range of dragon
support. My favorite combo is combining this
effect with Super Dragon Machine Dolzark and
removing my opponent’s creatures (while double
breaking shields).
I’ll also add that the cost is fairly decent for
such an effective finisher, although I feel that
it would be a lot more competitive if it was
priced even less. The reason is because it’s
cumbersome in a rush/swarm strategy to have to
pay 4 mana and not be able to play any
creatures. I guess we’ll just need to keep in
mind that this card is indeed a finisher and
should be the last card played before the end of
a duel.
The Good:
An exciting finisher for Dragonoid duelists.
The Bad:
Dragonoids are not very popular with the
exception of a few.
The Ugly:
Hit a Holy Awe and it’s over.
Constructed Rating:
4/5 – This is a fantastic finisher. The only
issue that I have is the fact that Dragonoids
are not necessarily the most desirable race and
that’s partly due to their slightly ineffective
evolution creature. However I highly recommend
giving this spell a shot.
Limited Rating:
1.5/5 – If you can manage to get some Dragonoids
then good. Otherwise it’s pretty much going to
end up in the mana zone.
