Topic: Kenn's Cards of the Week
Well, this week I'm only doing one review this week due to a hellish weekly schedule (but don't worry, it'll be a big E HERO Special!), but I'm doing it on one of my favorite cards printed, Hero Counterattack.
Ok, common, Elemental Hero related, I bet most of you are thinking that this is just a random piece of crap that won't help anything at all. But then there's the little guy, the E-HERO user that's discovered the Wildedge OTK and just lacks the spunk to get his game into gear. This card is for him. A bit A Hero Emerges, a bit Magical Dimension, a bit Pwn4g3, Let's just examine this card.
Activate only when an E HERO monster you control is destroyed as a result of battle. Your opponent selects 1 random card from your hand, and if that monster is an E HERO monster, destroy 1 monster your opponent controls, then Special Summon the monster.
Now, this is very self explanitory, "What if your opponent selects something that's not a monster?" easy, pretend you've set a Morphing Jar and set the other cards! Now, you might want to set your Hero with this card, so your opponent will probably guess a Jar with your sets, and then attack freely, only to have Counterattack flipped up on them to take out their main attacker and get you out a Bladedge! 200 points above most everything else, not to mention the beautiful Piercing effect that can slam down on a pretty little set (or for the less- Mirror Force inclined duelists, my favorite MF replacement, Windstorm of Etaqua can really screw over your opponent). and a primo choice to throw with Counterattack. Or the next best thing, Necroshade, who is a huge target, but is that bad? He dies, and then you can Normal Summon Bladedge with no tribute! It's a Win-Win Situation! And don't forget, you still get a free monster destruction, so you can easily smash face on an open field afterwards!
