Astral's Advent Observations - DAY 7!

Welcome back to Astral's Advent Observations, where we're cracking open this card game Advent Calendar one day at a time.


We're one week in!


Today's card warms things up a bit. It's Fire Cracker!

General Observation:

Fire Cracker has decent offensive strength for a 4-Star Monster, but would be best served in an effect-damage-heavy deck. It gains a counter whenever your opponent takes effect damage which allows it to inflict even more, creating a nice combo. You can also use it to take a chunk out of your opponent's LP by discarding it, but bear in mind that you have to skip your next draw to use it.

Trivia Observation:

Fire Cracker was originally printed in Maximum Crisis. It has made no anime or manga appearances yet, but appears to share a connection to fellow Fiend Monster Blast Asmodian, as the two share an attribute, similar effects, and even a similar design.

Personal Observation:

Wow, talk about an offbeat choice for a Christmas countdown calendar. Unless he's here to represent Pitch from the Mexican film Santa Claus or something.

That's all I've got, but stay tuned for tomorrow's post of the next installment of Astral's Advent Observations!
