炎帝龍 ボーテックス・テンペスト 「Toyo's Daily Cards 2/30」

[宇佐見 蓮子@C94]

So, for the second day I thought　I'd keep away from Synchros, just to vary things up a bit. The design idea behind this card came from, pretty obviously, Vortex Dragonewt's ”Trinity Crimson　Flare". And, at the time, 2099 lacked REFMD, so this was made as a substitute. That said,I think this is sufficiently different enough from REFMD to be considered it's own thing, so here. we. go~!

Woah, this one sure is aggressive: a generic Rank7 that destroys 2 cards from 1 detachment and has BUUUURRRNN all over it.

Not sure if this is too strong, to be honest. It's a pop-2 for the price of 1 detach after all. The card that is closest to doing this is Shogi Rook an it costs 2 detachments, specifically requires 1 face-up & 1 face-down target and doesn't have any burn added, although it is 1 Rank lower. Hmmm... meh, who cares! I will give this one the thumbs up just for the HAAAAAMM.

Eyo, review time!~

 

Normally I'd object to including mandatory burn w/ Spell/Trap and monster destruction, but this isn't overdoing it. In a way, it's significantly worse than Volkasaurus, due to its activation requirements being more difficult to pull off. There are a decent number of situations where this card could come up, and it is a generic Rank 7 w/ a Graveyard burn to boot. To me, this is more a question of "Is this card worth running over Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon?". One offers self-protection and far more reliable burn, while the other has built-in 2 for 1 removal, w/ more match-up dependant removal and no self-protection. They're probably on similar power levels, which is a nice place for this card to be. Another great card from Toyo!

 

Also, wanted to include some OCG fixes for ya. There's probably a couple of things I skimmed, but wanted to provide a correction to some of the OCG, while avoiding targeting players (since it's not a mechanic currently in the game):
