Cards of the Week! 1st Edition

First of, I have to apologize for not doing Card of the Week! for the last two weeks. I took a small Hiatus from the blog, mainly because I was playing Terraria's Expert Mode. (which is a blast BTW! :D)

While on this Hiatus, I also decided to make a change to the Card of the Week series. Rather then just analyzing a newly released card every Wednesday, I'll also review an older card in which may or may not have become more relevant because of a newly announced card or may just be a card I am very interested in.

With that out of the way, let's get to the 1st edition of Cards of the Week!

The New Card:

Docking Deletor, Greion

"We are the pinnacle of Evolution and
Existence."

[Act] [CB2] Cards with "Deletor" in it's card name & choose a rearguard with "Deletor" in it's card name, and retire it.] Delete all your opponent's vanguard, your opponent chooses a card from his or her drop zone, and Banish Deletes it. (The Deleted card is turned face down, has 0 power and loses all it's text. It turns face up at the end of your opponent's turn. The Banish Deleted card is placed in the Bind Zone face down.)

[Auto] When this unit is placed on [VC], your opponent chooses 2 cards from his or her drop-zone, and Banish Deletes them. (Banish Deleted cards are placed in the bind zone face down.)

The newest weapon in the Deletor's arsenal, Greion is probably one of the best Deletor bosses we have had yet.

First off, his Delete is the cheapest out of all Deletors, so we can keep Deleting the opponent's vanguard with relative consistency now, and like Oksizz he can Delete regardless of what the opponent is doing. Which makes Deletors much more consistent and MUCH faster.

Banish Delete is kind of interesting. It's really strong in the early game against Legion decks or Musketeers in general, but I am not sure how effective it is other then in those two cases. We also don't know what Bushiroad will do with this mechanic. It could turn out to be an Amazing mechanic with a lot of control and flexibility (And maybe even a Win Condition!?)

Verdict: A great help to Deletors, but more help is needed to make Deletors Relevant.

The Old Card

Mixed Deletor, Keios

Hey guys! Mind if I hang around with you
 today? No? Why not!? I can delete like all you
 guys as well! See! All I want is to be
your friends... MOTHER! OKSIZZ
IS BULLYING ME AGAIN! HE WON'T
LET ME BE HIS FRIEND!

[Auto] [CB2] two cards with "Deletor in it's card name] and choose two cards in your hand and discard it] When this unit is placed on [VC] you may pay the cost, if you do, Delete all your opponent's vanguard, choose 2 of your opponent's rearguard, and lock them.

[Auto] [VC] When this unit attack's a vanguard, this unit gains [Power] +2000 until end of that battle.

Keios is like that child who trys so hard to impress you, to show you how cool he is, but fails miserably.

Keios is one of the clunkiest cards I have ever seen. He only triggers when you ride him, unlike the rest of the deletors who trigger during the main phase, his skill is ridiculously expensive advantage wise, and he relies on your opponent having called rearguards before riding him to make park of his skill even useful!

Because of this, Keios is barely useable.

Verdict: Why does this card even exist?!
