Card is RIDICULOUS this format! It loves BW/GB matchups and that's going to make up a huge portion of the meta when the format starts. I'll be maining 3.

Card is so broke in Gadgets right now

[Fallen]

Probable told this to a thousand people already but Breaker will be hot this format. A slower format means more people play slower/unchain-able cards which is the type of format this guy capitalizes on. I'm convinced that you could main this guy in any deck currently and have a good amount of success with him.

agreed. if i wasn't so bent on using gigantes in my gadget build i'd definitely have 3 in there.


even decks that this card feels awkward in should still be siding a couple.


edit: and i agree with everything xero said.

I dont like it in LS though, id rather use Dust Tornado.

[Motep-Dragon]

Amazing card is going to be amazing, again. He is good in so many ways and will do amazing in Gadgets this format. Plus, him being at 3 is just grapeing magical.

[Dark Riku]

Nice card but not a card for every deck.

Its power is no longer so powerful that it has to be limited because of the way the game is now.

[Negative One]

There will be no slower format.

Also, how does this wreck in the GB matchup? Chariot/Bottomless/Book of Moon/run over with Darius/Laquari.
Blackwings maybe, because they don't like to Icarus just one card, but I'd still rather run other cards for this.

Maybe it'll be alright, but it won't be format-defining...

Actually, testing with the March 1st list does show signs of a slower paced format.

It is just the start of the format. We still have new sets, plus people are all most likely still testing.

But, yea I don't see how this wrecks Gb, unless the play summons a GB and ends, in which case 1900 > all. But we all know GBs set backrows, making this a risk shot. Then 1600 is pretty small. Plus chainable spells/traps.

People are hyping gadgets up way too much. Gadgets shouldn't even worry to much about backrows, because the whole point is the opponent can waste all of his spells/traps to kill them, because they just replace themselves. There are times you want to clean off backrow, but you really shouldn't be focusing on it. I would rather have more anti-meta cards (hard to do in an undefined format) than a random beatstick that can clear a backrow.
Yes it can be a nice floater for gadgets, but I wouldn't go for it right off the bat.

It is a much weaker card this format and it is not as good to use as in the other meta. You need to know what you are doing if you run this in 3. Seems like a good skill card and I see it mained more in stun and it is used in gadgets. If you want to run this at three you need to plan it out. This is an anti-meta tech too. It is not as splashable bottomless trap hole disrupts its play and not everyone runs that many traps. It's a very balanced card. Of course chainables make this hard to use even. Not that great against black wings.

I'd almost be happy if someone wasted a BTH on this instead of one of my other key monsters.

It stops Whirlwind and Oppression (which WILL see play). I think that's good enough to consider it.

[namesake]

They usaully run alot of traps though in blackwings, plus they have chainables. A lot of players run this in the irside deck since it is decent. I made my own strategy though. If bottomless didnt have the priority I would definetly run this to play in a main deck. I kind of miss the days you could destroy bth with breaker's priority. That was when breaker was a very good card since it was instant advanage no matter what deck you played. Not as god as before.

You mean misplay days?

Whirlwind is at 2. Breaker won't be hitting it often. You can hit Whirlwind and have a useless 1600 floater, or you can attack and risk a Kalut/facedown not killing whirlwind. 1600 is just small right now.

Not saying it is bad, but I don't think I will play it yet/this format.

[Apollo]

People have been saying this is better than TKR, which makes no sense to me. Sure, Breaker removes some stuff but he's not that great against Gb's really and he does nothing great vs. Bw that TKR doesn't do. TKR is still a heck of a lot more versatile than Breaker. If I want spell/trap removal I'd rather use cards that don't waste my summon.

This card would in no way replace Thunder King. Thunder King can actually prevent searching and a special summon. Breaker would be cool in addition, but not as a replacement.

I don't either, esp when GBs can just play the War Chariot upon Breaker's Trigger effect and get it back after tagging in Equeste.

[Statistic]

Breaker is good as a 1900 beatstick and you have to be pretty wise to when you use his effect, that is if he's on the field long enough to make any use of it. I wanted to try him in my Synchro Cat deck sense he's a lvl 4 spellcaster.

you realize they hit d-draw, allure, whirlwind, and charge right? the cards that pretty much made the format as fast as it was.

This wont be a slow format if the meta game stays to everyones predictions. Synchro Cat, BWs, GBs, and Lightsworn. It'll be a fast format, not by speed necessarily but by how consistently fast your deck can explode over the other. How I see it being this format for the beginning of it at least. Not sure how Infirnitys will effect the metagame.
