I was much more hopeful for this creature being better when I saw it's art previewed way back in the Battle Decks. In a bad way this does work as card draw but likely at too great a price. Not calling this one a coaster as a knee jerk assessment but it's absolutely not an auto-include. Looking forward to someone proving me wrong and breaking this card but I don't expect it will be easily done if anyone can.

I love the art of this card.

It's ability? I'm not so sure about... I feel like this is going to be one of those things where someone is going to have to REALLY work to find why they'd play this.

Until we get creatures/spells that let us see our shields, there's not much reason to play this. In Duel Masters I had a Wise Starnoid deck and use Adomis and a chest creature that had a similar effect to Locomotivator.

Personally I'll take this card as a sign that we'll get a cards that'll give us the ability to look at our shields

We also need to take into account what TheKaijudoChannel said about this card in his video. They need to be more specific on its effect. Does it count as being broken? Can we use the shield blast effect of the shield put into our hand? I'm going to assume that we can't because it just says "put it into your hand". The same applies to Lepidos the Ancient and its shield-to-mana zone effect.

I think you're right Red. If it were to "Break" the shield, it would say so in its effect. Just like Dark Scaradorable specifically says it BREAKS a shield when it comes into play.

I'm going to go ahead and play this as this creature does NOT break a shield.

This card is for rush, pure and simple. If you play rush right, and doing well, you could have your opponent down to one, two, or maybe even no shields. This where it gets dangerous though cause most often your opponent is going to start attacking your creatures to stay alive, and because your hand is low, your going to be forced to top deck more often than not. And usually, if your onslaught has been successful, you should have all, or most of your shields. So, getting the extra cards in your hand to push for game would be invaluable.

Yah, the new version isn't bad, but I bit more limited to rush decks than the old. Although I don't think Kaijudo is ready for Creature Shield Triggers yet, the old version was pretty decent.

It might work in a water/darkness deck. There are new cards out like Sopan, Cyber Renegade, that let you look at your shield. I'm still a little skeptical of the usefulness, but it may work.

Eluding Abyss
Fight!
Shields holding!

Personally, I don't see it comboing too well with Sopan. Just seems like a lot of work to look a shield to find you don't want that one. I mean if it is a shield trigger, what do you do? Hold Locomotivator until you get another Sopan to check another? Eh, I guess I just don't see the whole looking at shields with adding shields to hand card combo to be too good in general and would personally rather just draw cards and let my opponent break my shields for me =P

Hopefully in the future we'll get more shield support. I would love to be able to constantly add shields to my shield zone.
