Well, this isn't really a spoiler, but I am shocked that Gatling didn't have a topic yet! Gatling Skyterror has to be one of my favorite cards in Duel Masters. I am not sure why, but it is just engraved in my memory. Ironic thing, when I went through my cards, I didn't even own one (although $10 and eBay fixed that, now I got 2 XD). However, when I first heard about Kaijudo, one of negatives I heard was what happened to Gatling Skyterror. Now for some of you who may have no knowledge of Duel Masters you will probably be wondering why I think Gatling is so awesome. Well in Duel Masters it was a Very Rare in the Base Set (Fire had two; Bolshack Dragon was the other). It was a 7 cost Armored Wyvern with 7K Power. It was a Double Breaker and it could attack untapped creatures. In Kaijudo, this isn't the case. It is a 3 cost Attack Raptor with 3K Power. Nothing more... It has the same art as the original Gatling Skyterror. And the same name. But it is nothing like it. That kinda made me sad =\ But wait! When looking through the Fire cards, I find this one: Moorna, Gatling Dragon. It is a 7 cost Armored Dragon with 7K Power. It is a Double Breaker and it can attack untapped creatures. Seems Moorna is the real Gatling Skyterror! So it has a different name, different artwork, and a new type. At least it made it into the Kaijudo after all. Personally, I like how they have multiple versions of the same card. Well, this isn't directly that, at least not as much has Tatsurion, but to me it is like two versions of the same Gatling.

This happens to Duel Masters cards a lot. Many cards get their art shifted around, while others get their effects shifted around. |

Yah, I noticed that, but most felt close enough. Like Frogzooka is the same as Revolver Fish, just dif name. Mighty Shouter on the other hand has same art and name but new effects/stats. Gatling was only one that seemed like a huge change though, until you saw the second version. The fact they used so many old names and/or art and sometimes changed the rest did throw me a bit at first, but I am getting use to it. Although I bet I will look stupid when I go to my first event and expect the Blastforge Slaver to be rushing me XD I miss Braid Claw =[ (Blaze Belcher just isn't the same)... |

Yeah knowing what cards were in DM vs what they are in Kaijudo takes a bit of getting used to. Really wish Blaze Belcher had stayed Deadly Fighter so Drakons would be an even more exciting race to play but those are the breaks. The little guys still gets the job done for rush so I'm not losing any sleep over the differences. What I'm eager to see is the return of Rothus, the Traveler. Would really help improve mono fire's removal tech to get that guy back unchanged. |

Yah, I use to love Rothus too. Although looking back at him now with my Duel Master cards I find him a bit weaker than I remember. I guess I always glanced over the "affects you" part of effect in my memory XD Also, I really don't mind the 1 cost attacker not being a Drakon, I just miss Braid Claw. I saw nothing wrong with his name and it just feels odd to see him as a booster and not an attacker. Even if they made Deadly Fighter Braid Claw a 3 cost 1K fast attack (instead of Jet-Thrust Darter) I would have been happy. Who knows, maybe in a future set there will be a Deadly Fighter Braid Claw being a 1 cost 1K power drakon using different art... I mean they did it for Pyrofighter... (I can't remember who has his old art, but I remember it wasn't even close to original. Then Gilaflame has his alternate art with buffed stats...although his stats are actually that of a dif card, but still Pyrofighter to me!). |

Yah, but there is Moorna, Gatling Dragon to replace it. I was only sad to think they turned a card into a weak one with no replacement. I am fine with the whole weak gatling and awesome gatling =p |
