This month’s featured card is not an X-Rare for once. It’s Darkwurm-Nova-Remnant of BS25. It’s based off of the infamous brave killer spirit, The StarSlayerDragon Darkwurm-Nova.
This purple spirit is part of the Astral Dragon and Nightling families. It has a cost of eight and four reduction. Its BP is 7000 at LV1, 10000 at LV2 for three cores, and 13000 at LV3 for four cores.
Like the original Darkwurm-Nova, this card is also not nice to braves. With its effect when summoned at any level, it destroys all braves on all brave spirits. This does include your own braves, of course, so you have to be careful. Nonetheless, it’s a very useful effect that could suddenly turn the game around if your opponent uses braves.
Also, at levels 1,2 and 3, it has an effect stating that all spirits cannot brave fuse. So not only does it undo any braves your opponent may have had out on the field, but as long as Remnant remains in play, your opponent can’t brave again.
So, this spirit is deadly enough in terms of its anti-brave effects, but its effect at levels 2 and 3 gives it even more potential. First, it can target attack an exhausted opposing spirit. Additionally, when you have an ultimate on your field, this spirit gets +10000BP when it attacks. That’s an enormous increase. Also, since ultimates can’t brave, if you’re using this card in an ultimate-centric deck, you don’t really have to worry about the field-effecting anti-brave abilities this card has.
So even though this card isn’t an X-Rare, it’s nasty. The summon cost is a bit high, but fair for the effects it has. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that it has a double symbol.
Also, if you have enough core to play Darkwurm-Nova-Remnant in combination with The StarSlayerDragon Darkwurm-Nova, you can do even more to counter a brave deck. The StarSlayerDragon’s effect says that braves can’t be in spirit form. So that means, your opponent can’t use brave cards at all.
This card is best in an Ultimate deck. A good ultimate to mix it with would be Ultimate-Beelzebeat. Beelzebeat’s Ultimate-Trigger allows you to summon a purple spirit from your trash at no cost. So if Remnant gets destroyed, you could bring it back for free.
This card doesn't have major weaknesses, but it obviously isn’t good to use in a brave-deck of your own, and probably would be best in a purple-main deck to deal with the cost reduction.
