Evaluation

Rating

B

Pros

Good attack and defense, and can be increased higher if your opponent uses Dragon-type monsters.
Very strong against Dragon decks since it will negate their effects, and switches them to defense position.
Deals piercing damage when attacking defense position monsters.
Fusion summoning this card can be easy if you use fusion substitute monster, since you can use any other dragon type monster as the other material.

Cons

Can't attack directly.
If you are using a dragon deck, and your opponent takes control of this card (through cards like Enemy Controller), it can potentially one shot you if you don't have any protection.
If your opponent does not use any Dragon-type monsters, it is just a high attack monster that can pierce defense position monsters, but can't attack directly.

Tips

Fusion substitutes

Without needing to bring Buster Blader, you can use any Dragon-type monsters to fuse into the Dragon Destroyer. This can make it more versatile and much easier to summon. Red-Eyes B. Dragon now can be used to fusion summon into 3 different monsters, which can make it versatile, especially since Red-Eyes has its own supports as well.

Yeah, I plan to one day on this game have the craziest, and maybe even hopefully strongest Dragon Deck Possible and I already know this is going to become my Scourging Enemy Soon! :o

Like this card would even be good...

It is hard to summon (3 cards to get it) and doesn't even have protection from spells or traps.

Of course you’d use the liar card. Fine

BEWD 3x
Blue Dragon Summoner 3x
Kaibaman 3x
King of the Swamp 1x
The Earth Hex-Sealed Fusion 2x
Dark Magician 1x
Fusion Gate 1x
Luninous Spark 1x
Polymerization 3x
E-Con 3x
Champion’s Vigilance 1x

Happy?

Dark Paladin can't be special summoned except by fusion. So in this case there is no improvement.

Learn to read before throwing out accusations.

This card is very easy to counter. Just use the card a tribute to be doomed or man eater bug or exploded dragon. If u have enemy controller, bring it to your side of the field and use it as a tribute to summon your monster

.....that applies to pretty much 99% of all monsters in the game, not just this one

<< Anonymous(PHEONIXQB )

By your logic we shouldn't use any monster at all because all of them are "countered" by E-Con and Tribute to the Doomed.

Hey guys. Why cant i use King of the swamp + a dragón type to summon this card?

Because it just can "Change" to be a fusion sub as a Specific Monster that listed in the box. (+ 1 Warrior/ +1 Dragon = No) ( +1 Red Eyes/+1blue eyes = Yes)

Everyone is saying RIP BEWD while I’m sitting here with my BEUD deck that runs this card also. Sometimes you have to turn a deck’s weakness into its strength.

This is a factual statement. I literally own with this combo

I find that combo rather slow at times unless you can search the cards. I typically run all my dragon decks with BB because he just slips in there easily

What "This card cannot attack directly." means exactly ?

Why I can't destroy this with Devine Wrath? Although it's effect is activated when I summon a dragon monster and it's changed to defense position.

cuz his efect just resolves is not an activation

Same reason you can't activate Divine Wrath in response to a monster's piercing damage.

<< Anonymous(Brwa)

Anonymous Reply

Cuz it's a continuous effect. Divine Wrath can only negate effects at the point of activation. Continuous effects just happen automatically without activation. Activation would be Dark Paladin's effect that negates spell cards.

Great explanation above. Another tip for you: when monster effect activation takes place, you will see huge portrait of monster popping on screen.

played against a Seto running dragons, who started his turn owning the field with a 3k dragon and another 4* dragon vs my 1 dragon. He summons darkflare dragon, uses his effect to drop Kidmodo to his graveyard, and summons a Blue eyes...so 3 high atk dragons..but can't attack that turn.

I have 1 card in my hand (buster bladder), my next draw is Poly...game over. The dragon destroyer arrived on field with over 7k attack..

I dueled a similar person who used a Dragon deck while I was running a basic Paladin/BB fusion deck and I won in two turns with a first turn Buster Blader fusion
