CARD OF THE DAY 150618

V-EB01/016 Death Warden Ant Lion (デスワーデン・アントリオン) Zoo/Insect/Megacolony Normal/3/Twin Drive!!/12000/-/1 | PROTECT AUTO [V/R]: When it attacks, COST[S-Blast (1) grade 3, and discard two cards], until end of that battle, this unit gets [Power] +10000 / [Critical] +1, and your opponent cannot call sentinels from hand to [G].

The new Megacolony RR is another grade 3 boss unit that has a very similar skill to another boss unit we've seen before - Dragonic Waterfall. This skill works on both Vanguard and rearguard, very importantly allowimg it to act as a finisher on the rearguard circle while beimg powered up by the Maching Spark Hercules.

The only difference in the skills is the cost - and it's a pretty significant one at that. In addition to soulblasting a grade 3 upon attack, a condition that prevents the spamming of the attack, it also requires the user to discard 2 cards. This is very significant as it garunteed that this is indeed a finishing move, or at least one that requires many cards to guard but cannot be used without thinking, because resources will be depleted very quickly. Similar to the considerations that Kagero players have to make when decidimg whether or not to use Dragonic Overlords skill.

That said, Megacolony has 2 core cards that help to draw more grade 3s from the deck, helping to fill both those conditions and making the deck a lot more viable. The trigger line-up for Megacolony will likely also include more draw triggers due to the pure number of discard effects the deck will be running. As more cards release, we will just have it wait and see what else we have to work with and craft a deck that works consistently and with a powerful effect.
