Cards of the week! 15th Edition!

New card:

Absolute King, Gluttony Dogma

Get Tyrannosaurus-Rekt!

[Stride]

[Auto] [VC/RC] Engorge

[Auto] [VC] [GB2] [Choose a face down card named "Absolute King, Gluttony Dogma" in your G-Zone, and turn it face up]: When this unit becomes engorged, if you retired 3 or more units this due to this unit's engorge ability, You may pay the cost. If you do, until end of turn, this unit gets [Power] +10000 & "[Auto] [VC] [1/TURN] At the end of the battle that this unit attacked, if you retired five or more units during this turn due to this unit's engorge ability, stand this unit, and this unit gets drive check -1 until end of turn."

The first persona stride from RECKLESS RAMPAGE has been revealed, and it's Tachikaze's!

Whenever people have talked about Tachikaze in the past, it can be pretty much summed as "They are a worse version of Shadow Paladins." I personally think this was a bad comparison. They were a worse Aqua Force... But not anymore!

Gluttony Dogma is an incredibly powerful card. For example, in Ancient Dragons, as long as you have 2 cards such as Iguanogorg, Tyrannobite or Baby Rex on the field, this card would be essentially be Phantom Blaster, "Abyss" for Tachikaze, except this card hits 36k twice, has 5 drive checks instead of 4, and restands a rearguard column. Pretty good huh? 

I'm not even considering Gaiaemperor, which can turn any rearguard on the field into a Iguanogorg clone, and Baby Camera, which is just ridiculous combined with Gaiaemperor, making this card even stronger and even more consistent.

There's only one major issue with this card, and that is it is completely stopped by a single lock. But I guess that's what Twin Tempest is for, am I right?

Verdict: 10/10 Would be T-Rekt again. No seriously this thing is awesome!

By the way, I listened to Jurassic Park's theme whilst writing this... That reminds me, I still have to see Jurassic World!

Old Card

Destruction Tyrant, Archraider.

[Stride]

[Auto] [VC] Choose one of your rearguards, and retire it]: When this unit attacks a vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, this unit gets [power] +5000 until end of turn and "[Auto] [VC] When this unit's attack hits a vanguard, choose one of your opponent's rearguards, and retire it."

Tachikaze's RR Stride from Fighter's Collection 2015, 

This card can be a CB1 restand a rearguard, +5k and on-hit vanguard retire one of your opponents rearguard if you retire a card that can superior call itself or another card back onto the field.

In Ancient Dragons, this allows you to attack 4 times with ease.

You can also combine this with Gaia Emperor and Baby Camera to make Archraider a CB2 restand a rearguard, superior call a grade 1 rearguard, +5k to vanguard and on hit retire a rearguard.

This can also be used in conduction with Dark Rex, to make it lose-lose situation no matter what your opponent does.

As a whole, this card encapsulates what Tachikaze does: Retires it's rearguards to both to push an offensive and maintain hand advanatage at the same time.

Verdict: Pretty good.
