Evaluation

Rating

B

Pros

Inherent Special Summoning effect.
Good stats.
Can destroy multiple opponent monsters.
Searches deck for the monster when he is sent to the graveyard.

Cons

Cannot attack the turn it activates removal effect.
Can only destroy face-up monsters.
Coin toss effects are inconsistent.

Tips

DARK Machine is a fairly common attribute-type combination. Some archetypes with this combination include Ally of Justice, Genex Ally, and Jinzo.

Cyberdark

Cyberdark monsters are almost all DARK Machine-type monsters so you won’t have any trouble summoning Desperado Barrel Dragon. Desperado Barrel Dragon also offers monster removal and high base stats that none of the Cyberdark monsters have. Use Cyberdark Cannon to search for Machine-Type Cyberdark monsters.

Arcana Force

Arcana Force I - The Magician

Arcana Force III - The Empress

Arcana Force IV - The Emperor

Arcana Force VII - The Chariot

Arcana Force XII - The Hanged Man

Arcana Force XIV - Temperance

Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon

Barrel Dragon

Two of Desperado Barrel Dragon’s effects functions well with other barrel dragons. Because Barrel Dragons are DARK Machine-types they can fulfill Desperado Barrel Dragon’s Special Summoning condition. Also, they all have coin flip effects making them searchable by Desperado Barrel Dragon.

Coin Toss Support

Second Coin Toss

Proton Blast

Second Coin Toss lets you retry your coin toss to get a better result. Proton Blast gives you additional effects based on the number of heads. Additionally Proton Blast can be banished from your graveyard to make all of Desperado Barrel Dragon’s tosses heads.

You can buy more copies of the deck, but it requires real money.

Money is preferable.

It improves your chances of getting a prismatic copy.

Now people having trouble to beat Despacito after Cocytus dead. Believe me it will replace Cocytua as the most hated card.

People will always hate meta deck, they complain about shiranui, blackwing, witchcrafter, invoked, desperado, karakuri, etc
They just love their own deck

Ironically, but that is true. Even if desperado will be killed to the state which it can't be played anymore, people will always find another new deck to hate again :(

This card is supposed to be a Bandit Keiths card. Even the structure deck has Keith's image. Nevertheless, Keith has 0 lines for it... So sad..

No, there are characters having lines for cards related to them that are released long after the anime ended, so that's not the actual reason.

The actual reason: it's because Keith is released in Duel Links BEFORE Desperado Barrel Dragon even exist.

And they couldn't bother to call the VA back and pay him just to voice a couple new lines. Probably the VA wouldn't bother either.

Yet the new Fishermen already existed and Kajiki got nothing. So it's not simply if card exists or not. The first batch of released characters notably has few voice lines.

The Legendary Fisherman III has no voice line probably because The Legendary Fisherman II did not exist yet at that time, for whatever reason.

Yes, they released III before II.

They could simply have made the line anyway, since they did that sort of thing for other characters. They did way less voice lines for the first DM characters. They didn't make many lines for countless cards the Yugis used, even.

If you summon more than one of this, can each of them toss coins during the same battle phase? Isn't it supposed to be a once per turn effect?

If so, then I'm assuming "You can only use {this/each} effect of {card's name} once per turn" means 'you can use the effect only once a turn, independently of how many copies of said card are in play in one single turn'; whereas "Once per turn: {effect description}" means 'each copy of said card in play in a turn can do {effect} in that turn'. Is this conclusion correct?

By 'in play' I mean "available to be played", "useable", not sure if that's the right words according to YGO rules. If in need of clarification, please comment.

Thanks in advance!

You're exactly right. This card has a "soft" once per turn, so each copy can use the same effect, once per copy, and the effect can be duplicated by a single copy if it leaves the field and then returns. If the card description writes out the full name of the card in quotations, then it is a "hard" once per turn, so there are very few ways to use it multiple times.

most of the time i see these posts and think, oh they're just complaining... but this card is actually broken. It can destroy up to 3 monsters during an opponents turn and can easily be summoned AND searches for other cards

You forget that this carrd can destroy only during battle phase, there are lots of cards which can destroy or banish without entering battle phase, so desperado isn't a big deal

This card needs to get BANNED. I'm calling it now. Next bandits will put this to ZERO.

There is zero chance this card gets banned. I could see it getting semied if they really want to 🔥 the deck, though. (It'd make the Master of Destiny build significantly weaker, and also just make drawing into it in the first place far less consistent.)

Isn't this card suck to new Neos Invoked deck? Boss fusion monster can't be targeted. Rich players don't play it anymore I think

DBD's effect doesn't target though.
