Blaster Blade Spirit and Blaster Dark Spirit are two very unique cards which were introduced in set 9 (BT09 - Clash of Knights and Dragons). They both are in the same clan as their original versions and both have 10k in power.Blaster Blade Spirit is a Royal Paladin unit while Blaster Dark Spirit is a Shadow Paladin unit. And just as they were once grade 2 units, they still are in this version of theirs.

The skills of both Blasters are very similar in nature, differing only in the target that their skill are allowed to be applied. Their first skill is an [AUTO] skill which activates when either one of them is called to the Rear guard from the deck (or Superior called) and for the cost of ONLY one (1) counter blast, you get to retire an opponent's front row rear guard. Blade destroys a grade 2 or higher rear guard while Dark obliterates grade 2 or lower front row rear guard units. These two are best brought in a deck which revolves more on superior calling from the deck such as that of Pellinore builds. But what makes them really tough is that both of them have a huge base attack power of 10,000. This base power surpasses the 9k regularity of most grade 2 rear guards thus they are nerfed by their second skill. Whenever either one of them is attacked, then the blaster automatically dies despite if you guarded it.

What's more peculiar to this two is their third skill. A [CONT] Continuous skill which haves them two (2) treated as Gold Paladin cards. This is the very reason that these two are mixed in Gold paladin decks because they are 10k and they a skills which are more or less very strong and potent. But back to their "destroy-this-automatically-when-attacked" skill, it isn't really that big of a deal. Anyway, it could've been used to only intercept and losing it was already prepared for. Its their 10k base that makes them really big and painful.

Unfortunately though, only the Gold paladins have this kind of mini-support from other clans (Royals and Shadows). Other clans have no units such as these. It would've been better to see more of these kind of units. It is a unique perk that Bushiroad thought of, but only for Gold Paladins.
