[0:16:59] Raid Duel: Bonds Beyond Time

  • Darton the Mechanical Monstrosity: Very situational monster that hinges on the opponent playing a deck that buffs itself all the time. A card like this wouldn’t see any play unless all the meta decks do a lot of attack buffing. Additionally, this relies on permanent attack buffs, as you could activate the ability during your turn.
  • Imprudent Intrusion: Another situational card that relies on having lost a lot of LP. While this is useful against a big LP gain deck like Aromages, it can only be practical in a LP loss deck. The effects are decent, and this is flexible, but the situational nature of having to do the math is a bit problematic. Both of these cards probably won’t see any play.
