GBT-12 Narukami Spoilers - Week 4

Yeesh.  For a moment there I was concerned there'd be nothing to talk about.  Turns out I was wrong as Bushiroad dropped some good things on us this week;

Lightning Chakram, Gliselle

G2 9k

AUTO (RC): When this Unit is attacked OR is chosen by the effect of an opponent’s card, your opponent chooses 1 card from their Drop Zone, and Binds it face-up.

CONT (RC) Thunderstrike 5: During your turn, this Unit gains Power+9000, and “ACT (RC) 1/Turn: [CB1] If you have a “Vanquisher” Vanguard, choose of your opponent’s (RC), when this Unit would attack the Vanguard, you can attack both the Vanguard and the Unit occupying the chosen (RC).”.

This one's interesting.  Low key really good, but it'll take a while for her to really get going because of Thunderstrike 5.  Both of her skills are live outside of GB which is relevant if I end up having to play the Grade 2 game and the first one can be surprisingly irritating to certain deck types.  Normally when your Grade 2 gaming you'll be protecting yourself and attacking rears.  Doing that against Gliselle will cost you a unit from the drop zone and she doesn't even have to be retired for this so if I can save her with a 5k to force out another attack and bind then she's already pulled a fair share of her weight.  Then we've got her other skill which makes her effectively an 18k beatstick with the ability to become a One Strike Two Folds Djinn for CB1 which is nothing to sneeze at.

Smash Boxer Dragon
G2 7k
CONT (RC) GB1: During a battle in which this Unit boosts a Unit with the Thunderstrike ability, this Unit and that Unit cannot be chosen by the effects of your opponent’s cards.
AUTO (RC) GB1 Thunderstrike 3: [Place this Unit into the Soul] At the end of a battle in which this Unit Boosts, if you have a “Vanquisher” Vanguard, you can pay the cost. If you pay it, draw 1 card, and CC1.

This card is perfect.  He literally covers all of my complaints that I've lodged this past month.  CB issues?  Smash Boxer covers it.  Soul issues?  Smash Boxer.  Hand?  Smash Boxer!  And to top it all off he gives himself and a Thunderstrike unit he boosts Resist which is going to be hilarious against Kagero.  Solid 4 of that easily replaces Chain-Bolt Dragoon.  What's that?  You need more convincing?  Well Woudragon from the reddits hates this thing and since we all know that guy has his head so far up his own ass that I'm certain if you gut punched him he'd end up with a broken nose then you know that this thing is the legit real deal good goods.  Takes alot of pressure off our triggers to provide soul AND it clears up your board so you can get more value off Impede Dragon.  He can also be splashed into Sweep Command decks since they first Stride Voltage which is now 1,000,000% the correct play and this guy adds to the Soul for Sweep's Limit Break while unflipping and drawing more cards.

Seriously this thing is super good and it could have been a RR.
