Talk:Fifth Omni Dragon Lord, Crimson Drum/@comment-1755882-20151010171851/@comment-1755882-20151011005948

Eugene. What in the world are you talking about? High gauge costs? CRIMSON?? Have you ever PLAYED Crimson? Blue Shield, Rock Bunker, and Dragoknuckle give the deck a stupid amount of gauge accel, to the point where they tend to be overflowing with it. They're extremely low on gauge usage, generally have a excess of gauge with their main outlet for spending being Gigantic Crusher (or Giga Howling). This card will be amazing in Crimson.

And, I'm sorry, this is weaker than Lord Dragon Shield, how? Did you actually compare what the cards do, or just blurt out what you thought without thinking? Ignoring Fifth Omni because the choice is obvious there, for other Dragon World decks, Lord Shield is 1 life and 1 card from hand to block an attack without risk of being nullified. This card is the same except...oh, look at that. You're not spending a card from hand. The card from hand was already repaid by its attack, and its 2 gauge pays for its soulguard, which gives it a lot of value as a redirect. The life payment is a GOOD thing as it drops you into a Lifebreak range, and if your opponent ever tries to attack with anything with less than 5000 Power, they get punished for it. Not to mention many opponents who actually read your cards will just attack into Drum. AND THEN there's his use as an Omni Lord, because every other World doesn't HAVE Lord Dragon Shield.
