Counter on this card (max. 3). You can Special Summon 1 "Buster Blader" from
your hand, deck, or Graveyard in face-up Attack or Defense Position by offering
this monster with 3 Spell Counters as a Tribute during your Main Phase.
Greg's Review:
OK despite what all make think I kind of like the card. It is not the best but whatever. This can be very helpful in getting out buster blader to fusion w/ dark paladin. And with skilled dark magician too, it is even easer to get out and you can get it out faster also. So it is also light and that is cool and all considering it can be played in a light type deck cause there are not to many light cards that are over 1500 that are that good w/ out sacs. So every time you OR your opponent activates a spell card then you put one spell counter on it and when there is three you can tribute this card during your main phase one and special summon one buster blader form hand, deck, or graveyard.
So over all a light monster, 1700 cool effect makes it easer to get out the hard to get out buster blader.
2.9/5 unless you are playing a certain type
of deck this thing will not help you much.
Alex's Review:
Now with all the
new cards running around that require spell counters, this card is exceptionally
playable. 1700 attack isnt going to impress anyone, but it does have a decent
effect. Buster Blader is not a powerhouse by any means, but still, with the
effect of SLM it should be pretty easy to get an almost free 2600 or more
attacker on the field. Now with easier ways to summon BEWD, you may see more
dragon decks with the help of Luster Dragon, Spear Dragon, Tyrant Dragon, and
Cave Dragon. Getting spell counters on a card is a lot easier than you think,
plus there is a common card that allows you to put a spell counter on any card
that can take one. SLM would fit best in a Dark Paladin deck, along with some
of tomorrows card, Skilled Dark Magician.
Casual 3.7/5
Tourney 3/5
In a Dark Magician/ Buster Blader Combo Deck, it might make the cut, but the
1700 ATK is just pathetic compared to all those 1900s out now. You might be
better off with Emblem of the Dragon Destroyer (Add 1 "Buster Blader" from your
Deck or Graveyard to your hand). You could use equips to build up it's ATK.
However, most of the time people can't find the space for equips in their decks.
Tourney-1.5
