Ah, the Fusions from the saga. Should known they'd be here eventually.

Anyway, let's do Comet Element first. Three instant damage for no cost is great. Luckily, it's balanced out by costing you 4 cards, but it's worth it. 4/5 on its own, 4.5/5 for what it does for the theme.

Now, Fog Element. All your Elements are invincible in combat. Pretty good, but again for 4 cards. Plus, they're still vulnerable to card effects and damage. It's good, but it's not Comet. 3.5/5, plain and simple.

When I was designing the Triples, I knew I wanted simple effects that were still awesome. I think I succeeded.

They both do exactly what they should. Comet Element comes to earth and explodes, damaging your opponent. I do worry that 3 damage is a bit too much, making me wonder if I should change it to only work when fused by [Fusion Technique]. Comet Element alone, as is, is enough reason to not make that nice Fantasy Fusion that Tyson used to summon Omega Ninth Dragon.

So, it's a very nice card. Offensive to the max. 5/5; there's no reason not to include it in an Element C/T stack, and nothing bad will ever happen for using it. Cost/Effect wise, 4/5. It's almost as hard to play as Tetra Element, but it is so worth it.

Fog Element's a defensive card. Its main use is defending yourself against a strong foe. Granted, foes stronger than 3200 won't happen too often, but if it does, a defending Fog Element's the perfect block. 5/5 like Comet Element; why not? Cost/Effect wise, it's not as devestating as Comet, but it's still very useful. 4/5 again.
