First Effect:

Blazing Bombardment Beast destroys all of the opponent’s monsters with 1,900 or below ATK when you special summon this monster. This monster may potentially destroy all of the opponent’s monsters when you special summon him to the field. It is a useful effect in particular situations and against certain archetypes.

Therefore, Blazing Bombardment Beast counters decks with many monsters with ATK below 2,000. He is a good option against swarm decks with weak monsters. He can destroy all of the opponent’s monsters in those matchups.

However, this effect is a useless skill against monsters with ATK above 1,900. This fusion monster is unable to destroy those monsters with its effect. It also is unable to destroy those monsters in battle without the assistance of effects from other cards.

This effect of Blazing Bombardment Beast is a inconsistent skill. The opponent is likely to use their monsters with low ATK as materials for monsters from the extra deck. He or she may not have any targets for this effect when you have an opportunity to play this fusion monster.

Second Effect:

Blazing Bombardment Beast destroys one of your opponent’s monsters with 1,900 or less ATK when this card is sent to the graveyard. The opponent instantly loses a monster when you lose this fusion monster. It can be sent to the graveyard with any method for the activation of the effect.

Therefore, the second effect of Blazing Bombardment Beast is a decent effect. The opponent instantly loses a monster on the field. It counters the opponent if the opponent destroys it with an effect. It is also useful when you use it as material for another monster. 

However, an opponent can easily avoid this an effect. An opponent may only have one monster with more ATK than Blazing Bombardment Beast. The opposing monster destroys Blazing Bombardment Beast. Then, you are unable to activate the effect due to failing the conditions. The opponent’s monster has ATK greater than 1,900.

In addition, the opponent can banish Blazing Bombardment Beast. This strategy prevents the activation of the effect. The effect only activates when this fusion summon is sent to the graveyard. For example, Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning may banish this fusion monster from the duel.

Fusion Summon:

Blazing Bombardment Beast requires one machine monster and one pyro monster for a fusion summon. A few archetypes can provide these materials. Genex and Morphtronic can provide the materials for the fusion summon. These archetypes have machine monsters and pyro monsters.

For instance, R-Genex Magma and R-Genex Crusher are materials for Blazing Bombardment Beast. R-Genex Magma may add R-Genex Crusher from the deck to your hand. You may perform the fusion summon with these effect monsters and polymerization. Then, you have successfully fusion summoned Blazing Bombardment Beast.

Card Rating:

Overall, Blazing Bombardment Beast is a mediocre fusion monster. Its effects depends on the ATK of the opponent’s monsters. You cannot consistently rely on this card in duels. The best time for this fusion monster is battling weak monsters. Therefore, I only recommend playing Blazing Bombardment Beast in a casual deck.

Card Rating: 2.0 out of 5.0 stars
