Do we really need one of these every day?

Lessee... Molluskor's a perfect late-game card. Assuming you can keep your Snails and Slime monsters alive long enough to accumulate a lot of Slime Counters, Molluskor can reach amazing ATK and DEF. It'll likely be gaining 1000 each turn, and against swarm decks, Strike of the Emperor will wipe their field and increase Molluskor's ATK to extraordinary heights. It's the Snails' main heavy hitter, but naturally, it doesn't work anywhere else.

I'll give it a 4/5, which - if anything - is too low.

(For the record, you should've waited 'till after Rise of the Emperor to put a Snail up for review. I don't even know if there'll be more support for it.)

I posted this to try and get one right. I'm not going to post one of these every day.

Molluskor can be played Early-game, but then it would probably be suck with minimal (if any) Slime Counters. Play it later, and it can have very high ATK. There are lots of combos to accumulate these - Slime Shell + Goo Snail, for example. And turning Molluskor into a Berserker with Strike will make it crazy-big.

However, that's all it'll be. As I recall, you mentioned that my namesake, without Nightmare Blood, was easily toppled with card effects. Molluskor has no immunities, and as far as I know no Snail/Slime cards give him those.

Still, it's a great card. I'll give it 4.3/5, which is a very fair rating.
