Spark Arrow Dragon – Cardfight Vanguard Review

Spark Arrow Dragon – #V-SS07/037EN (RRR)

[ACT](RC):If you have a vanguard with “Kaiser” in its card name, COST [Soul Blast (1) & retire this unit], search your deck for up to one card with “Kaiser” in its card name, ride it as [Stand], shuffle your deck, and until end of turn, when your opponent’s rear-guard would be retired, bind it instead of retiring it. This ability may only be used by a card with the same card name once a turn.

-1, and then for the rest of the turn any units that die in battle get bound? So here we see exactly how Dragonic Kaisers can proc Rising Phoenix without actually just going for the manual bind with something like Deathscythe or similar. Is that good? Well, as a bonus, you DO get to ride a Kaiser on top of a Kaiser, so if you went with Accel 2 it’s a +0 wash, so that’s not all bad news. Certainly helps to unscrew a ride if you went into BLOOD first, by riding base Vermillion from the deck instead.

So, while it doesn’t really do a lot except enable some otherwise rather janky deck choices, I’d say Spark Arrow Dragon helps to close the gap compared to Eradicators a little by having more needed pieces, but a decent bang for buck.

2.85/5
