The Lovecraftian Horror: Original Deletor, Eigorg!



"Before us, you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable. We are the end of everything."

Original Deletor, Eigorg

[Act] [VC] [GB2] [CB1] & Choose a rearguard with "Deletor" in it's card name, and retire it] If you have a heart with "Deletor" in it's card name, delete all your opponent's vanguard, choose up to one of your opponent's backrow rearguards, and lock it and your opponent chooses a card from his or her drop-zone, and banish deletes it. Then, if the number of cards in your opponent's damage zone is 4 or more and the amount face down cards in your opponent's bind-zone is 13 or more, you win the game.

Deletors to me have always seemed Lovecraftian in nature. They are alien, mysterious beings who have the power to exterminate us and want to exterminate us but we don't know why.

This card's skill feels like the embodiment of that idea. There is no way to combat it, there is no way to fight against it. The clock slowly ticks, and when it strikes 13, the end shall come.

But is it possible? The scary part is that it is, but it largely depends on your opponent. It is very easy to use enough card skills to bind 13 cards, but the issue is whether your opponent has the cards in their drop-zone to bind.

Of course, this is just the icing on the cake. The extremely cheap cost for a Delete and a lock is really good.

Verdict: This card is exactly what Deletors needed: A way to delete extremely cheaply and a Stride they can use very well.
