New Card
Dark Dragon, Spectral Blaster "Diablo"
(ACT) (VC) :[(SB)1 & Choose a face down card in your G-Zone, and turn it face up & choose one of your rearguards, and retire it.]: Until end of turn, this unit gets "(Auto) (GB3) (VC) :[(CB)2 & Choose two of your rearguards, and retire them.]: At the end of the battle that this unit attacked a vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, [Stand] this unit, and this unit gets drive check -2 until end of turn." And, if you have a heart with "Diablo" in it's card name, search your deck for up to one grade 1, call it to (RC) and shuffle your deck.
The RRR Shadow Paladin from GBT-06. Another Diablo stride hits Shadows, because of course it does! This time it's the stride version of Spectral Duke, a Gold Paladin card.
The actual card in of itself? It's pretty good, to be honest. It's generic, so it can be used in any Shadow deck, but it works best with either Diablo heart, turning a -1 into a wash. With the other restanding vanguards of Girs Crisis, this card has an advantage engine that comes along with it. Some examples are the Black Chain grade 2 and grade 1, David and Charon, which can easily turn a wash into many plusses. Especially when combined with Vortimer
Verdict: A very solid G-unit.

Old Card
Blaster Dark "Diablo"
(Cont) (VC) (GB2)]: When you are paying the cost for (Stride), if a G-unit you (Stride) has "Blaster" in it's card name, the cards in your hand get grade +3.
(Auto) (VC) When you G-unit named "Dark Dragon, Phantom Blaster "Diablo" (Stride), choose one of your opponent's rearguards, and retire it.
The original "Diablo" clone. Many other cards have followed, but does this card still hold up? Not too well, though it has a few niche uses.
It's GB2 is pretty decent, pretty much guaranteeing that you can stride with any card in hand, but it requires that you have strode at least twice, which would be a problem if Shadow Paladins didn't have 3 different G-units that could flip on the first stride.
It's specific on-stride skill is pretty mediocre, sure it's free, but it only removes a single card from the opponent's field. It's rarely useful, even with PB"D", but very rarely it can instantly win games.
Verdict: It's pretty mediocre, overall.

Blaster Dark Diablo does not require you to Stride twice! Play Aurageyser Dragon to have two face up G Units after your first turn with Stride.
