Card of the Day - 10/15/2014 - "Bravogal Seeker"

Bravogal Seeker
Grade 1 / 7000 Power / Boost
United Sanctuary / Royal Paladin / High Beast
[AUTO](RC): [Retire this unit] When an attack hits a vanguard during the battle that this unit boosted a unit with "Seeker" in its card name, you may pay the cost. If you do, search your deck for up to 1 card with "Seeker" in its card name, call that unit to (RC) as [Rest], and shuffle your deck.

So, today we have confirmation that Seekers will be receiving at least SOME support in G-BT01. This card essentially has Seeker, Bucephalus's effect, but in a much more workable form.

The first card that I can see this working with is "Sacred Wielding Seeker, Octavius." Octavius allows you to Soul Blast 2 to draw a card if the number of Seekers in your front row is three or more. Assuming you're using a Seeker grade 3 that's in Legion, you already have two, and this card can be called to the front row as a third. This essentially makes it a Luck Bird clone with 7000 base power instead of 5000.

Next up from BT16 is "Seeker, Tranquil Unicorn." This card can Soul Blast 1 when called to give +5000 power to any unit on your field. While it is only a 5000 power booster, you could easily tech in a single copy of this card to use with Bravogal. Dropping it behind your vanguard still creates 26000+ columns, so it won't hurt much in the long run.

The next, and probably most obvious, choice is "Blaster Blade Seeker." For the simple cost of one Counterblast, you can retire one of your opponent's units. Not a bad trade-off if I do say so myself. Unfortunately, Bravogal calls at rest, so you'll have to drop him in the back row or go without an attack for the turn if you go with this option.

There are other choices, such as "High Spirit Seeker, Celyn," (on-call, CB1 to give +4000 to a unit) but none that really seem worth running just to call with this guy. You could always use him to call another copy of himself, essentially thinning the deck. Maybe we'll see a Seeker version of Josephus (on-call from deck, SB1 to draw 1) in this set...?
