The History of a CrusaderMaster, Circa v1.31
We've tried our best to develop more weapon protocols for our men, however the results have been quite varied.

I first suggested these things called guns, but apparently people were really afraid that they would blow up in the Crusader's faces.

Then I tried suggesting Magic Wands, but apparently no one took our Saders seriously until we started bringing out our Vampire Daggers again.

There was also that one guy who suggested Crusaders throw shurikens. The Crucible's still debating if we want to be ninjas or not.

...and then a Vampsader had this brilliant idea to make actual Vampires his weapons. Somehow, this one got through to the Armory. I really don't understand the committee's logic.

So.... yeah, now we're trying boxing. I hope Jenkins didn't bring his Dirt Shield again today.

You forgot about the guy who suggested teaching them Kung-Fu!

Hmmm...this is an interesting idea. The fact that light has no weapon that crusaders can endow is an interesting twist in the game of Elements. It forces light to create synergy with other elements or use the opponent's weapon. I think this card is too powerful for light to have with its crusaders. It would make mono light an overpowered deck.

I like how some people think it's OP and some think it's UP

I guess people are fickle eh?
Possible adrenaline interaction balancing aside, it seems great as it is to me. The extra attack doesn't see that much worse than dive considering it is limited to this one creature.

Alone it's UP, but with the existing card base it allows too much synergy too easily.

Vampire dagger has an HP swing equal to double its attack.
Cestus has an HP swing equal to double its attack.
The more damage in an hp swing the better.

The most efficient usage of VD is a Trio|Duo
The most efficient usage of Cestus is a Duo|Mono

It is close to balanced. 4|6 attack might be better.

not OP. just It doesn't seem nearly as good as a morning glory sure the 2 attacks is nice for bonewall, but for 2 extra you can make it immaterial and have a shield.
