I'll join, I'm a pro at this game. Currently I'm ranked 105th best in New Zealand, 518th in Asia Pacific and 6071st in the world. I've only been to one event, so don't let my low ranking fool you.

My favourite card at the moment is Earthstomp Giant. I have a deck based around him and it works pretty well. It would be Bombazar, Dragon of Destiny but it's nearly banned and it's not even out yet.

By the way UmbreonEX, what sort of deck do you have?

Yeah sure, I'd be glad to.

I used to love rush. Every single deck I built back in the days were either red rush, green mana-swarm rush, or both. So I wanted to try something a bit different and got into control. I found out I sucked at control so nowadays I always try to have original builds. It's a really cool way to improve your game and to try and use something unique. This actually led me into finding out cards that I didn't even know existed (my really really old build of Earthstomp beatdown led me to some cards such as Flood Valve).

And for some odd reason I'm not liking the name change from Matchless Dragon Bolbalzak to Bombazar, Dragon of Destiny. I mean, Matchless Dragon would just strike fear into the hearts of the weak-minded because no other creature can "match it", but Dragon of Destiny? And WotC had to remove the K from Bolbalzak and replace it with an R.

The only problem with rush decks though is that (most of the time) you practically have no defence. Most rush decks nowadays get crushed by heavy blocker decks, so some of them are forced to add in cards such as Comet Missile, Scarlet Skyterror or Rikabu's Screwdriver for hassle free attacks. Some even add in a splash of Darkness for destroying other creatures with Terror Pit, Proclamation of Death or Chains of Sacrifice or to bring back weenies (or your Valdios or TCS, if you use them) with Corpse Charger or Dark Reversal. Not forgetting the really cool Slash tech.

My preferred civilization combo with Fire or Nature in rush decks is usually Light. Light's blockers will provide me enough defence while I go out and attack. Or, I use a Tap and Attack strategy, with middle-powered Fire creatures such as Explosive Dude Joe or Fire Sweeper Burning Hellion and also high-power creatures such as Bazagazeal Dragon and TCS, comboed with tapping cards such as Holy Awe, Solar Ray, Moonlight Flash and Lightning Charger. Then go out and attack your opponent's creatures before you dominate the shields. Or, if you have some blockers, try Diamond Cutter.

Come on, new members!

Yeah you are right Light goes real well with blockers such as Gran cure,Space guardian.

True, but a good amount of Light is vulnerable to Fire and Darkness. Darkness has Critical Blade, and Fire really hates blockers and cards such as Balesk Baj the Timeburner, Scarlet Skyterror and Comet Missile prove my point.

But Light has Diamond Cutter, which really rocks. In a D-Cutter deck, you're able to maintain a good defence while you have some offence. That's why D-Cutter is usually my first option if I feel like building a Light deck. Phal Control's second.

UmbreonEX, do you have any Shockwaves of the Shattered Rainbow cards? I need to keep track of all the Shockwaves cards discovered so far cos Wizards hasn't updated the card database.

The closest I could find to Zarai Dragon is Gawerazu Dragon, it's a 9 cost 11000 Armored Dragon that's a double breaker. Or, it could be Bombazar Dragon of Destiny, which is a Fire/Nature Armored Dragon/Earth Dragon creature, which is a Speed Attacker and Double Breaker, destroys all other creatures with exactly 6000 power, you get to skip your opponent's turn and if you don't win by that extra turn, you automatically lose. So Bombazar is what I'd call something that's not for beginners.

D?o you think that Bombazar's broken or not? Because Wizards didn't bother to nerf (weaken it down to suit the English metagame) it. Personally I think it's not broken. If used correctly, yes it might be broken but it's still vulnerable to stuff such as T-Pit, Spiral Gate, Mana Nexus or Holy Awe. And it's "destroys other 6000 creatures" is more of a drawback than an advantage. The drawback prevents you from comboing Bombazar with Cryptic. Because if Bombazar didn't have this effect it'd be broken as.

Example:
Turn 6: Summon Cryptic Totem
Turn 7: Summon Bombazar, Dragon of Destiny (pretend it doesn't have a drawback)
Attack opponent with Cryptic Totem, it breaks two shields
Attack opponent with Bombazar, Dragon of Destiny, it breaks two shields

Say one of the shields Bombazar broke was Terror Pit. Since Cryptic was tapped, Bombazar wasn't destroyed by T-Pit. That's why Wizards added that effect in. In Japan, it was a different story. Cryptic read that your opponent's can't trigger at all, even when it's untapped. There's your reason.

So now I have made a better way to use Cryptic with Bombazar.
Turn 7: Summon Bombazar, Dragon of Destiny
Attack opponent with Bombazar, Dragon of Destiny (break 2)
Turn 8: Summon Cryptic Totem
Cast Scramble Booster
Attack opponent with Cryptic Totem (break 2, no shield triggers allowed)
Attack opponent with Bombazar, Dragon of Destiny (break 1 left)

Bombazar's name is kind of wierd it sounds like bombersaur and earth and armour dragon both in one monster and only seven mana for such a good card.

Bombazar's name actually used to be "Matchless Dragon Bolbalzak" and IMHO that sounds better.

The reason why the ban list is there is because Wizards didn't even bother to nerf the card, and some players will agree with me. If they nerfed Bombazar to something minor, something like 9 mana or something then it wouldn't be broken because it's vulnerable to decks such as mana lock. But since it's only 7 mana, it's very quick to come out. Look:

Turn 1: Play mana (1 mana)
Turn 2: Play mana, summon Poisonous Mushroom (3 mana)
Turn 3: Play mana, summon Bronze-Arm Tribe (5 mana)
Turn 4: Play mana, cast Faerie Life (7 mana)
Turn 5: Summon Bombazar

If it was 9 mana it'd be different since a mana lock deck is able to respond with cards such as Crisis Boulder. Good mana lock decks are also good mana acceleration decks, so if they're facing the Bombazar deck, they can react to the sudden mana accel with Kipo/Bombersaur + Rothus or Kipo + Burst Shot.

So, in the current state of Bombazar to me is near broken. Wizards may restrict it to 1 card or limit it to 2 cards per deck, but I still don't think it's broken. Scheming Hands is all you need to kill it.
