This card should be SR at the least. It isn't designed to have attacking capabilities. It's a kamikaze dragon as its name suggests. It can essentially destroy any monster more powerful than it with no consequential damage. Let's say I summon a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon...they can just summon this card from their hand, attack and destroy BEUD due the effect, and take no battle damage. They lose a measly dragon...and I lose a BEUD which is super difficult to summon, and has waaaaay more attack power. Consider an UR trap card "Seven tools of the Bandit" that makes you have to pay 1000 life points only to destroy a trap card. If you think that this is a "rare" card, then you're one of the noobs using the preset overpowered deck cards because you can't make your own deck. This was Konami's attempt to help noobs, and the put a BS overpowered card for it.

If a card has abilities that mean it should be UR, then it should be. Getting an UR gem isn't like getting a R gem when you trade a card, so no it's not 🔥ing. It's little 🔥es who like to make stupid comebacks when they know something is overpowered and they can just abuse it themselves.

That effect only applies when you are attacking with it. If it is getting attacked, it is not applied.

Card is broken....Does nothing against Dark Magician of Chaos. BEWARE

It's not broken, so there's nothing to fix. It's just you.

Exploder: "If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard"

DMoC: "If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, after damage calculation: Banish that opponent's monster."

Aromage Rosemary while your LP is higher, completely shuts down this card's entire effect.

Wait, it's just the destruction effect.

Forgot the no battle damage thing only applies if Exploder Dragon is the one attacking anyway.

I'm still receiving damage from this card even though the card says neither player takes battle damage when your opponent destroys it! Can Konami read english?!

The card states your opponent takes no damage and you take no damage if you ATTACK. If it is ATTACKED, you still take damage.

Structured decks are for 🔥 little boys who don't know how to play the game like you. You must be getting paid by the toddlers who run Konami to improve their public image.

that's what you get for using an overpowered card

Lack logic much?
If something is overpowered you can expect people to use it, because they won't trust others not to and then have an advantage.
If you have a problem with a card then that is what your problem is with. You can't blame people for playing the game their way.
