The Return of Shadow Paladin! Rise, Purgatory Revengers!

Long time guys! Along the way one or two cards have leaked out, but nothing of substance had really been spoiled until now! I introduce to you the spoilers thus far for the brand new Shadow Paladin Trial Deck, Purgatory Revenger!

Thus far, however, Shadow Paladin is scaring me. They aren't acting 100% shadow paladin-like. You'll see what I mean.

Illusion Revenger, Mordred Phantom
<<Shadow Paladin>>
Grade 3 | 11,000 Power

(VG) (LB4) AUTO (CB1) When a <<Shadow Paladin>> rides this unit, you may pay the cost. If you do, choose one of your Vanguards and it gains +10,000 Power until the end of the turn. Then search your deck for up to one Grade 2 or less <<Shadow Paladin>> and call it to RG. That unit gains +5,000 Power until the end of the turn.
(VG) AUTO When this unit attacks a vanguard, it gains +2000 Power until the end of that battle.
(VG/RG) CONT Lord (If any units on your field are not <<Shadow Paladin>>, this unit cannot attack.





See what I mean? That ability superior calls and gives power to the called unit. I don't really know if thats quite in the Shadow Paladin Flavor. DO NOTE, however, that you don't have to call a Revenger. So PBO, get ready to Break Ride!!! Note that you only get one in the deck, but he's pretty nifty.

Now let's look at some of the other cards in the deck. A majority of them are clones of cards that already exist in other clans (You'll get a Dignified Gold Dragon Clone, a Sagramore Clone, etc.). Some are even clones of crads that already exist in Shadow Paladin. Like this guy! A Nifty 1-of in the deck.


Revenger of Nullity, Masquerade
<<Shadow Paladin>>
Grade 2 | 9,000 Power

(RG) AUTO Whenever this unit attacks, if you have a "Revenger" on your VG, this unit gains +3000 Power until the end of that battle.










So if you don't play PBO (Phantom Blaster Overlord, in case you are wondering), you'll have a Nullity just like all the other Shadow Paladin Players. You will also get "Transient Revenger, Masquerade" who is a clone of "Knight of Friendship Kay" that we've seen in Royal Paladin.

Transient Revenger, Masquerade
<<Shadow Paladin>>

Grade 1 | 7,000 Power

(RG) AUTO When this unit attacks, if you have a "Revenger" on your VG, this unit gains +3000 power until the end of that battle.











In addition to all of that, you'll also gain a new super booster! This is perhaps the only card I feel truly works with the theme that is Shadow Paladin.


Buranbau Revenger
<<Shadow Paladin>>
Grade 1 | 6,000 Power

(RG) AUTO When this unit Boosts a <<Shadow Paladin>>, if you have less RG than your opponent, the boosted unit gains +4000 Power until the end of that battle.










And he couples nicely with a Grade 2 with a similar effect, "Coilbau Revenger" is an 8K Grade 2 who specifies "When this unit attacks, if you have less RG than your opponent, this unit gains +3000 Power until the end of the battle."

So while there are some definite strides made thus far, this new Break kind of worries me, because its a stray from the Shadow Paladin we all know and love. But we'll just have to see as more Revengers hit the stage, because its going to be...interesting.

  1. I think he works fine. But more for a regular phantom blaster dragon build. He calls units that will be sacrificed
