Black Feather - Gladius the White Night




So back to reviews we go... I'm trying not to run out of new cards to review before the new set comes out... been playing with Geargia... so much advantage and so many summons... Iron Call is godly in that deck... Geargiarsenal is broken... Summon Geargiarsenal... tribute it for Geargiarmor... Iron Call on Arsenal... tribute it for another Geargiarmor (Iron Call negates the effects on the field... meaning tributes for their effects are great making Geargiano and Geargiarsenal extremely powerful). Set both Geargiarmors face-down and set some traps and end your turn 1... on your next turn flip both... grab Geargiano MK-II and Geargiaccel... Summon MK-II get back Arsenal... oh lol Arsenal makes me laugh... tribute Arsenal grab a third Geargiarmor... special summon out Geargiaccel... Overlay one of the old Geargiarmor and Geargiaccel for Gear-Giganto X... Search deck for Geargiano MK-II again for next turn shenanigans... Set the new Geargiarmor and the old one that wasn't used for Giganto via's it's effect... You have in two turns just thinned 6 monsters from your deck... and they are now either in hand field or grave to be used for brokeness... next turn if Gear-Giganto doesn't die... you will get 3 more monsters to hand... and possibly more if you decide to make another Gear-Giganto lol deck is nutty. Magical are quite nutty as well... Junon is broken... Necronomicon is broken... Grimoire and Hygromantei are broken... Torah is well meh... Hygromantei on Junon for a 3500 beater that can search more fuel for it's effect or for Temper's effect to make another Junon... Big Eye is a major card for the deck... Letting you steal monsters... Endymion (The Monster card) is really really good in the deck as an alternative Junon with a slightly bigger body... Alternatively you can use Dark Magician with Junon for Dark Magic Attack (Pulled it off murdered someone because of it). You can even skip Junon entirely and focus the deck around Dark Magician lol. You can see that I can't wait... now to wait for them to put Madolce, Heroic, and the new Earth support in... OH that's right I'm supposed to be reviewing Black Feather - Gladius the White Night... Please Read More to see that review lol.

Black Feather - Gladius the White Night
DARK
Level 3
Winged Beast/Effect
If the only face-up monster you control is a "Blackwing" monster, except "Blackwing - Gladius the Midnight Sun", you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle.
800/1500

YAY This card is actually better than I thought it would be when I think about it. Now if only Gale was at 3... Anyway this card is best used when you control a Level 3 Black Feather and nothing else. This does not care about set monsters though so you can have as many set monsters as you want... This card also has that small survival effect so it's a mini wall for a short time which is really nice. So how do we go about making this card truly useful? It gives blackwings easy access to Leviair which is a nice boon but better yet they gain  easy access to Zenmaines and Melomelo Melody and Leviathan Dragon... Suddenly this card looks quite nice no? It also gives better access to generic Level 6 Synchro Summons. Play Whirlwind... Summon Sirroco... search and Special Summon Gladius... Special Summon Gale... you now can either sync for 8 and set up next turns Vayu play or sync for 6 for something like Armed Wing who with Sirroco against a face-down can deal major damage... or sync for Brionac to put a Vayu to grave for future use...

This card on its own isn't all that great but in tandem with the rest of the deck fits in nicely. Blizzard the Far North can get this back after the Xyz or Synchro Summon  for easy Level 5 Synchro options. If Vortex the Whirlwind was a Black Feather this card would be really really good lol then again the entire deck would be that much better. This card just fits in so well with the rest of the pieces that I wouldn't not run it. If anything it gives a stall option that can become a Zenmaines without wasting Kalut (Kalut is level 3 right?).

If I liked Black Geather's I'd happily run this card oh I like Gladius the White Night better than Gladius the Midnight Sun as White Night just sounds cooler to me lol.

I really have no idea what i'm going to review tomorrow if you have any ideas for new (I mean like released in March or April) cards that you want me to review please comment here and I'll probably do it if there's no new information for me to review.

  1. Could you review some Return of the Duelist cards?
    Whichever ones you think are going to have the biggest impact on the game.

    Also, a skeleton deck list for Geargia would be cool.
