Assault Blackwing - Drez the Devastating Typhoon

 

 

[spoiler=Lore]1 Tuner "Blackwing" Synchro Monster + 2 or more non-Tuner Synchro Monsters

When this card is Synchro Summoned; Destroy all cards on your opponent's side of the field. Each "Blackwing monster you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effect once per turn. When this card leaves the field you can Special Summon, from your Graveyard, any of the Synchro Material Monsters used for the Synchro Summon of this card.

 

 

Had a lot of fun making this card. Original name was going to be 'Assault Blackwing - Drez the Devastating Hurricane' but alas there is already a Blackwing monster with the name 'Blackwing - Hurricane the Tornado'.

 

Now you may be wondering how you get this bad boy onto the field. As it is not out in TCG yet, I understand the question. Fortunately in OCG there is a card named Assault Blackwing - Chidori the Light Rain that, when Synchro Summoned with Blackwing Material monsters, can be a Tuner monster. So I guess you could call Drez the card that works with the OCG only for the time being.

 

Reasoning behind the 'destroy all cards on your opponent's side of the field' effect is because well it really isn't as a powerful effect as it used to be. With chain-able Monster Effects on your Opponent's turn being more prevalent than ever, this effect really only serves as a nice bonus when it goes off and not necessarily a huge game changer. The Blackwing monster not being able to be destroyed once per turn is probably my favorite aspect of this card (besides the art). While not easily dispatched, this monster can go down with some planning by your opponent by manipulating effects that destroy. Because once the effect to protect this card is used up, there is no stopping it from leaving the field. Which brings me to the third effect of the card. The ability to get back the material monsters used for this Synchro Summon is huge and will create tons of board advantage for you. I am considering toning this effect down but with the lack of showing of Blackwings, I think it fits nicely as a game finishing effect, unless your opponent can deal with it.
