Cards of the week! 18th edition!

I skipped the week before simply because nothing of interest was revealed, and last week XCOM 2 was released so I've been playing the hell out of that and so I haven't really had time to write a post.  Sorry about the delay :/

Cards of the week, 18th edition.

New card:

Mist Phantasm Pirate King, Nightrose

(Stride)

(Auto) (VC) (GB2) :[(CB)2 and choose a face down card named "Mist Phantasm Pirate King, Nightrose" in your G-Zone and turn it face up.]: When this unit attacks a vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose up to two cards in your dropzone, and call them to separate (RC) in the front and back row.

Granblue's RRR from the next booster set. It's overcosted, especially considering how much Granblue counterblasts. The cost is somewhat mitigated by Grenache, however.

This card has viable call targets such as Sea Strolling Banshee, Skeleton Cannoneer and Columbard, which perform roles from control to advantage to aggressive play.

I also believe that Nightrose will get a Heart Thump clone in GBT-06, which would really help improve this card.

The potential of this card is not only restricted to a pure Nightrose deck, however. It has a lot of potential in Seven Seas, mainly by comboing with the Nightmist.breakride.

Verdict: Decent. A bit cheaper or a bit more powerful would have been nice though.

Talking about Seven Seas...

Old card

Loved by the Seven Seas, Nightmist.

(ACT) (VC) :[(CB)1]: If you have a heart with "Seven Seas" in it's card name, choose up to two cards in your drop zone, call them to separate (RC), and at the end of your turn, retire the rearguards called with this effect.

Granblue has finally gotten a subclan... Three eras after almost everyone else. Luckily for them, being late is Granblue's thing, so I don't think they'll mind.

Oh, the stride? It's essentially Lord Nightmist in stride form. It's pretty good, Works extremely well with Granblue's generic support as well as the subclan's new cards, Plegeton, Nightcrow and Slash Shade.

Verdict: Good.
