Cards Of The Week #23

Baby 5 (OP12-112)

An excellent trigger effect on a +2000 counter..... Am I being too generous for a perfect score? The only condition is that your leader has to be dual-colored but that's like taking off points of a card for being a particular color in the first place.

The way I see it, if you can run this card in your deck, you should. Easy inclusion at 4 copies, your deck will really have to be filled with power options for you to contemplate running fewer copies for other cards or +2000 counters. She even has reasonable stats for an emergency summon if you think you have to.

Bartholomew Kuma (ST35-005)

I'm always going to be a yugioh player first at heart and by now you should know I like my yugioh references in one piece. This card works like Junk Synchron so I'm happy to bring it up to let you know it's good.

Having 5000 power for a 5 cost might seem too weak at first but it is somewhat understandable to be honest. This card does do some extra things on top of the of the revive summon effect. Boosting the cost to 8 once he's down, means it isn't as easy for this card to be removed by effects. The rested DON!! also makes up for this being a 5 cost instead of 4 for example.

The extra summon effect does have a notable limitation to 4000 power or less and needing to be a Revolutionary Army character but it's still such a good effect to pass up. You can simply just play a small blocker with him or something. You can also summon a card from the hand but the real value is indeed to get that free summon from the trash. If you couldn't get the card from trash then this card wouldn't be as good.

Unfortunately, while this card was meant to help OP13 Sabo, the new Elbaf cards from OP17 just seem to be a much stronger fit with everything they can provide. This card only just came out too. Still, I can't be too harsh on him with what he does.
