Evaluation

Rating

C

Pros

Decent ATK stats.
Can send 1 DARK monster from your hand to the Graveyard to increase its ATK. This effect can only be used once, and the increase is permanent.

Cons

Weak DEF stats susceptible to position switching plays.
Requires discarding 1 DARK monster as a cost to increase its ATK.

Tips

This card’s effect does not trigger Dark World archetype’s effect of being discarded via card effects, because this card’s sending DARK monster effect is treated as a cost to increase its ATK, which is an optional activation.
You can also use similar cards like Tribute to the Doom, Wonder Balloon, in your Deck to assist in discarding cards to gain certain advantages

Discard

These are the recommended cards to be discarded into the Graveyard. You can Special Summon Archfiend Emperor, The First Lord of Horror from the Graveyard using Call of the Archfiend much quicker. You can banish Destiny HERO - Celestial and 1 “Destiny HERO” Monster to draw 2 more cards. You can banish Destiny HERO - Dark Angel and 1 “Destiny HERO” Monster to place 1 Normal Spell card from your Deck to the top deck. You can Special Summon Destiny HERO - Dreamer from your Graveyard during damage calculation to make your “Destiny HERO” Monster unable to be destroyed by battle. You can send Bacon Saver to the Graveyard to be banished and stop one attack from either player. You can send Red Eyes Zombie Dragon and Red Eyes Black Dragon to the Graveyard, to be Special Summoned by using Red Eyes Spirit.

I swear this is probably the card which was re-released most times in an event, I've seen it about 5-6 times or more as reward for duelist or lottery events

Great for farming, but I think cerberus is better.

Does this card work with yubel? I only ask as they have added it to the reward trader this time around. I'm thinking as it's a discard then probably not but some of the other comments about it being a cost make me wonder. Thanks

You can discard Yubel with this card, then revive it.

Discarding Terror Incarnate won't work though, TI will miss the timing.

I still don't know what an Ojama is. But it sounds like another archetype called Moja

...How would that be a bug? Does it say it's limited to once per turn? No? Then why assume it is.

It literally says it can only be used once in the pros

Gamea is wrong, the effect is not once per turn, let alone just once like Wind-Ups.

Never mind, it's actually okay at best.

Dark Crusader and Dark Hunter are pretty good in D-HERO deck. Since both of them depending on discarding Dark type monsters to GY to boost attack.

I tried putting this in destiny hero deck. To get combos with dasher and malicious, but it didn’t go well.

You're better off using them as Fusion Materials for Dangerous. (Or food for it.) That being said, Dasher isn't very good in Destiny HEROes anyway. There isn't anything worth Summoning with it.

Not once per turn + the ATK boost is permanent. Warrior Support for whatever that's worth, can get Red Eyes out of your hand. Could be interesting.
