clones_small Split cards are cards that will be seeing a lot of action on the tournament scene. The ability to support the player as a foundation, or become an attack when that last bit of firepower is needed makes them incredibly versatile cards.

Twelve receives a few split cards with his release, and they are probably some of the best split cards to be released merely for the fact that they synergize so well with another copy of themselves.

Clones is an incredibly solid foundation stats wise. 2/5 is nothing to scoff at. Though the lack of a block and an incredibly conditional Enhance effect will often restrict it to the role of filler.

Unless, you now, you use the OTHER half of the card! Once you flip it around, Clones becomes a 3 difficulty attack with a control check of 5! THAT IS INSANE! Not only is it a cheap attack, it packs quite a wallop at 5 damage. This is somewhat counterbalanced by the easily blocked 3 speed mid zone. The effect is somewhat interesting, and is best when used in conjunction with resource requirement cards such as Troubled Orphan or Shiranui Ninja Arts to add the resource symbol that you need to abuse their effects to the fullest.

The fun part (and here's the synergy!) is that when you have a Clones in play as a foundation, and play another one as an attack it gets +1 damage! Talk about doing all the work yourself!

Split cards, a new force to be reckoned with or just another novelty? That's for the players to decide!

The text box on the attack part of Clones has a spelling mistake. CHOOS a resource symbol? How do I choos? Choo choos! Easy mistake, yet funny at the same time.

Choos as in choose, right, lol. 
 
The card is alright. Personally, I don't think its that special. Artwork is kinda blah... especially with the name... doesn't go together.

This card is pretty awesome for its stats. Doesn't Twelve look like SOME kind of superhero in that artwork? Yeah, I think so.

I love the synergy this card gives with Battle Disc System, 
 
'Oh you're trying to hit me with a 5 damage attack? Alright, I won't block you, I'll just show you the attack I'm gonna hit you with next turn!'

It's got Water, it's got a 5 CC, Battle Disc System and Ninja Computer Geek anyone? (It's also good with Twelve because if you XCOPY someone, you've got up to 6 resources, making the foundation side less 'meh'

As I do love this card and think it is good I do not believe that it is a deck staple it is merely a good card, and is in no way broken. Now if a few more 5 cc attacks came out then this might be a little ridiculous but they didn't.

Turn that card upside down. Don't even bother with the foundation side. Its a frippin 3/5 3M5 attack that gets a resource symbol. This attack is insane! FIVE DAMAGE! OMG STG BROKED THE GAME LOLOLOL. 
 
Really though, this attack IS on the high side of the fence. This compensates for the other sides 'meh' ness. But for decks in which you're matching all 3 symbols (or two with the split attack of this card), you're looking at +1 damage to all attacks. Woot! 
 
Now, we need a mechanic that eliminates symbols from opponent's stuff...
