The funkers finally did it, they made Black Whirlwind searchable. Gotta say, I quite like all of these cards, but for real, Blackwings have too many cards

BLACK WHIRLWIND SEARCHER

 

THATS IT ITS DONE

 

First a Power Bond Searcher, now this? Konami's really going all out, aren't they. But seriously though, as far as I understand it, Simoom Normal Summons itself in addition to your Normal Summon/Set for the turn (stacking with Nothung :D), and while it has low ATK, it searches 90% of the good cards. Like honest, THANK YOU KONAMI You're potentially, almost certainly getting 3 Normal Summons this turn, and 3 searches with Whirlwind. Damn. Why would you send it to the GY though?

 

Full Armored Master is a gr8 boss. At least now we have something good to go into that's a little easier to reach than the Level 12, and a little more protective in its effect. But two Wedge counter effects? Nuking at the end of the turn if you CotH this card during their MP2, and grabbing monsters you've attacked with the bad Level Armor Master (yes Konami we see what you did there)? Hot damn.

 

Auster's first effect is meh, obviously meant to be used with Simoon, but that second effect...wow.  Fuel for the bosses AND actually making Armor Master useful for going into. Again, wow. Also, hooray for Black Feather support?????

 

I'm actually going to pick up Blackwings again. They may still suck in MR4, but after these, not so much.

*looks at Simooms effect* Oh cool, they finally made a Black Whirlwind searcher...

*Reads on* Oh, so it only sticks around for the one turn... why? At least its ATK is decent enough for what you want to search with Whirlwind, and you can still get some good mileage out of Whirlwind that turn before it buggers off to the GY. As for the extra deck restriction on it; it isn't that bad actually as there are some decent DARK Links like Borreload and Summon Sorceress.

(Of course, Simoom's extra deck restriction effect hurts European players more as they won't have access to Summon Sorceress for practically an eternity)

Not a BW player myself, but really interested in the Boss, very good design overall, towers protection, but not disruption (those things shouldn't go together that easily). And somewhat BW exclusive. Of course BW themselves arent good anymore but thats another story

Simoom the Poison Wind is really good and the other two are Wedge Countermongers.

Easily the best cards of the reveals.

 

Simoom is True Draco-esque, from the looks of it, meaning his NS is not part of your normal NS. Also comparable to Hunders. Talking with Kook, we came up with a funk ton of 1.5-2.5 card combos with him, because of how much value he gives you for just playing him.

 

Auster is a fine 1-of because you can get him off of Simoom plays for value, which leads into Full Armored Master. Not to mention that Harmattan allows you to go into Nothung, who allows you another Normal Summon, so you proc Black Whirlwind 3 times. Hell, Harmattan could also become Level 6 to go into Full Armored with. 

 

That said, in that scenario, prob better to banish another blackwing, use Harmattan + Simoom to make a Link, and use Blizzard in place of Auster, but... That does give you less range overall, considering you can also make 12 (lmfao) if Harmattan targets Simoom.

 

Full Armored Master is prob best looked at as a Borreload. He's not quite as good as Borreload overall, but he's a little sticky (though easier to kill by battle), plus if you make him with Auster you get the steal ASAP.
