Card of the Day - 10/16/2014 - "Starlight Hedgehog"

Starlight Hedgehog
Grade 2 / 8000 Power / Intercept
Star Gate / Nova Grappler / Warbeast
[AUTO]: When this unit is placed on (VC) or (RC), choose another of your rear-guards, and that unit gets "[AUTO](RC): When this unit [Stand] due to an effect from one of your cards, draw a card, choose a card from your damage zone, and turn it face-up. This ability cannot be used for the rest of that turn." until end of turn.

Uhh. Hmm. Yeah, I'm not really sure what to think about this. Generic Nova Grappler support that... doesn't really help too much right now. The draw is appreciated, but 8000 base power on a generic card...? Well, I'll list some things that it *MIGHT* work with.

Immortal Asura Kaiser has to Counterblast 2 to use his restanding skill, so I suppose you could at least get an unflip out of whatever rear-guard you choose to stand alongside him? It's a little more viable now since you can sit at low damage and still use the Limit Break thanks to Frog Master.

I don't see why you would run Hedgehog alongside Death Army Cosmo Lord instead of the Death Army support, but if you do... you can at least use his skill for one less Counterblast...?

I don't know, I'm really struggling to find a good use for this one.

Okay, here we go. Mond Blaukluger's break ride skill can be used for free when used in conjunction with Hedgehog! I'm not sure where you would fit Hedgehog into any decks containing Mond Blaukluger, but it's still a thing! I guess Mond/Immortal Asura would be the best place as of now?

Maybe we'll see some better uses for this card once more of the G-BT01 Nova Grappler support is revealed, such as Mecha Battler, Viktor.
