Foreword

Well everyone it is the end of the week and I did not end the world. L Yes, Im sad. But it is the weekend! Hope you have a good one. For those of you that are wondering (yes all 1 of you) my next article should be up next week. If notI died?

Anyways I missed Wednesdays review on the account of the weather. Thunder/Lightning storms here in Missouri. And as any computer user on dial up knows lightning + dial up=deep fried computer. Read on

Card Advantages

Euthanize is a card that people are instantly going to compare to the bigger brother version of Surgeons Implements. While this may sound fair to some it isnt to me because pitting these two cards against each other is like putting a mouse up against a brick of cheese with an oozy. >_> Anyway it is a no contest. But both cards do perform the same task really. And Euthanize is really not as bad as it looks on paper.

Okay first of all the effect is very similar to Surgeons Implements. If your opponent counterattacks in the green zone you gain a yellow furyoku. This may not seem like a lot, but in the long run it can be. Basically you are going to be getting a yellow furyoku next turn no matter the outcome. Whether they counterattack from the green zone or move on to the yellow zone makes no real difference. You still get a yellow no matter what. That is why I always tell people that I see Euthanize as an underestimated card. Being able to get a free yellow furyoku isnt anything to laugh at. It can be a game breaking effect if you are running extremely low on yellow furyoku.

The next pro is the fact that this is a pretty cheap card to cast. Two green is not anything terribly high and you should be able to afford it. If not then you are probably going to lose anyway. >.< Ive played this card and I have never had furyoku troubles with it. Two is just not a big deal at all to me. Some might say it is, but then again maybe that is just my play style. *shrug*

Pros

Good effect.

Good cost.

Card Disadvantages

Euthanize has some great big problems. The least of which not being the stats. Four intercept and 3 force is like teetering on unusable. It really is. You will not be scoring many points with this card. In fact it is a good thing that it has the effect that it does because you are never going to get past the green zone with this card. But then again we do not need to get past the green zone. Bleh. The biggest problem with the stats though is that it is begging to be punished. I mean gaining furyoku is nice but getting a huge strike thrown at you in return can be pretty intimidating not to mention discouraging to you. And yes believe it or not some people d run punishers.

The next bad part of this card is the fact that it is franchised. Thats never good. And then it is an uncommon. Meaning it is hard to pull. Which brings me to another point which is is it really that rare? I have pulled 5 from one box. Call me crazy but that sounds funny. Especially since I didnt even pull two Surgeons Implements. L

Cons

Bad stats.

Punishable.

Uncommon.

Franchised.

Summary

In the end I still like this card. Yes it is not the best, and Surgeons Implements is ten times better, but the guaranteed gain of a yellow furyoku just looks so good to me. I dunno play test about > and lemme know.
