Alternate art Herald of Infernus from Shout! Factory DVD 'Dragonstrike' (Photos)

Want to get your hands on an exclusive alternate art promotional Herald of Infernus "Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters" trading card? You'll have to purchase Shout! Factory's upcoming DVD "DragonStrike." The card itself is a rare from Wizards of the Coast's latest "Kaijudo" expansion set "DragonStrike Infernus," and can be a pretty nasty one at that. Check it out:

Herald of Infernus
Level 5 - Fire Civilization
Creature - Armored Dragon (Promo)
War Cry - Whenever this creature wins a battle, you may put a non-evolution dragon from your hand into the battle zone.

"Crush them! For the Glory of Infernus!"
5,000

As a Dragon, Herald of Infernus's mana cost can be reduced by Umbra, Lux, Belua, Nix, and Kenina.

War Cry can be an incredibly powerful ability, and one way to abuse it is to get two Dragons for free instead of one. How? You'll be able to drop a Billion-Degree Dragon into the battle zone and attack with it off of Hammer Dragon Foulbyrn. Another great Dragon to utilize is Necrodragon of Vile Ichor, which breaks shields equal to the number of Dragon creatures you have in play on the battle zone when it enters the battle zone. You'll find both in the "Dragon Master Collection Kit."

"Dragonstrike" goes on sale April 30, 2013 for an MSRP of $14.92. Preorders are currently available through Amazon.com for $12.99.
