Eram Quod Es, Eris Quod Sum


Hey kids, Digital Mortal here! Work has been a major priority this month and as a result less time for everything else. I’m looking through the new set due to hit the market in February (while taking a break from work) and so far everything is as exciting as the new year. Overall, it looks to be a very promising set. There are plenty of highlights in Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy set but this one card appears to have more value when it comes to multiple utility in a variety of decks. As mentioned before, I am looking forward to test out Burning Knucklers but I’ll leave them for another post. Here goes!

SHARK FORTRESS!!!

                                             "http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Shark_Fortress"

Arguably one of the best Rank 5 Exceed monsters to ever exist, Shark Fortress has one in a million say about everything! It is a generic Rank 5, a DARK, and it comes with a solid body of 2400 ATK and 1800 DEF. What’s scary of course is having the ability to deal massive damage or possibly end the game. Shark Fortress is what many would coin as “Daigusto Phoenix on crack" and truth be told it deserves to be hyped up. Simply having the ability to allow double attacks is merciless (broken) and if that wasn’t high enough Shark Fortress protects other monsters you have on the field (protection effect could be game changing.) 

Being a Rank 5, it automatically becomes further support for Hieratics. Shark Fortress opens up other ways for Hieratics to OTK (though the deck doesn’t need it?) and being a DARK it’s always a good fodder for Chaos plays also for Deck Devastation Virus. Having said that, the next obvious place to run Shark Fortress is Chaos Dragons and it doesn’t even need any explanation. The thought of having REDMD or LPD swing twice is tempting enough and the same can be said for Hieratics which packs a deadlier Extra Deck. Other decks that can run Shark Fortress would be Wind-Ups and Constellars. I can see how this card can benefit them as much the earlier two. On a side note, Shark Fortress works with Forbidden Lance in terms of offense or defense. Worst comes to worst, it becomes a Gaia Dragoon. Plenty of ways to use this guy so make sure to get yourself a copy!

Before I end today’s article, Slyphine and Cardinal Commander needs to be given more attention. I’m pretty late on this set’s review and I’m sure other bloggers have done their version of reviews on other highlights in this set so look around for more info. That’s all for today people. Remember to play smart, fight hard, or go home a loser! Thank you for dropping by!

  1. Why am I thinking Fortress + Gustav Max FTW? Not really needed but definitely a welcomed addition to the ranks of Hieratic OTKs.

    1. Hieratics have got too many ways to OTK but Shark Fortress is a good addition if you wanna play ball. Problem is you need to find space for it. LOL!
