This card is lame and has never been included in any meta relevant decks. It's bricktastic too.

Exodia deck also makes use of this card iirc. Get the pieces out, then return them to hand with other card effect.

It bricks like crazy! Some duels it works on turn one or two other duels it only lets me set. Especially in ranked mode

It depends on the deck and your strategy. If you only want to swarm the field, you can just use some monsters that you can special summon from your hand. You should at least name the archetype of the deck you're planning to use.

it's actually useful in a exodia deck, but it's gonna be very expensive. Add 3 into the void to the deck etc

it is actually good in combination with cards like white elephant gift and silent doom. The problem with the exodia decks is that you need the goddamn pieces to do anything, unexpected dai can give you the kick you need to start, the problem is that it is too expensive.

Mr. Armstrong
I have a GREAT Idea! What if i play Celestial Transformation to summon a koitsu, give it to the oponent with Shien's Spy. And then Unexpected dai to special summon a a 2000 atk normal monster and then normal summon iron chain snake?

How much is Synchro still a thing in the TCG? I mean, does it even matter anymore now that there are more powerful mechanics out there?

Crystal wing synchro dragon is still a good card. And just like the person above me said, it depends on the card, not the synchro mechanic.

Let's just say that there's a reason why people keep asking for Crystron Needlefiber to be imported into TCG already.

Borreload Savage Dragon is actually a good powerful Synchro that I can see getting some use once it is released.
