User blog:Tachikaze Master/Random Card comparing

So recently, I found a few cards that are a bit interesting, and I think it's worth talking about.

First up my list today is Death Ruler, Cremation. Now, while seeing this card, I thought that the 5k power is okay, but that 1 crit is a bit meh. But then I did the math. I compared Death Ruler, Burial to the normal 5/2/1 vanilas. Burial has 1/2/1, and Shadow Dive. It seems quite obvious that Shadow Dive costs 4k power. But then, what does Cremation do? Compare Cremation to the normal 5/1/4 Vanila. This is a 5/1/2. Wait, so it gets a free +2 stats for what? Nothing at all? And plus, that 5k power is a rare treasure in Death Rulers. I can see a few of this being run in the decks.

Then I have the comparison of Devil Stigma and Oswira Gard. No matter how you look at it Oswira is superior. But then, let's do the math (Withought counting the attack block). So Devil Stigma gives you 2 Gauge (+1) and 1 life (+0.5) for 1 card (-1), so it's overall a +0.5 (People say that this is good, but it gives a +0.5. A bad +0.5.). Then Oswira, 1 card to hand (+1) and 1 gauge (+0.5) so overall, +0.5. But still, a card to the hand as a wash is worth it. Always. So conclusion? Oswira's better, no matter how you look at it.

Lethal Formation is the all-famous impact trap, and people love this. But is it really worth the love? Ninjas have amazing amount of draw engines, so I'd put all of my gauge to hand. Unless you're using a deck built completely for this card (Clear Serenity), it's just bad for me. I rather put those gauge to better use.

Black Knight, Goldredblocks Penetrate, and comparing him to the other 3 crit monsters, he pays that for 2k power. But hey, that skill can be more than worth it if it blocks something ridiculous like the S3 Drum or Gang the King. So the 2k power can actually be worth it. Heh.
