Card Review – Evoltile Odonto

Evoltile Odonto
LV2//Fire//Reptile//500//1200
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 “Evolsaur” monster from your hand.

 

Overview:

Evoltile Odonto is a somewhat frustrating monster from the Evol Archetype that asks you to invest heavily onto the field. At present, with Photon Shockwave as the latest release, the climate is not quite temperate enough for starting a play with Odonto.

HEROs Are (Not) Normal

I have long wondered how to break Elemental Heroes. It seems that every time they “advanced” it was in the Neos Alius category, and that deck type was about controlling the pace of the game and doing it consistently – not very exciting.

I want true HERO spam all over the table, a relentless affair with power. I have some ideas, two idea fragments really, of themes that could benefit HEROs.
