Evaluation

RatingB

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.

Why can't I fusion summon this card with "1 buster blader + 1 fusion substitute monster"? Though I can do the opposite thing (1 dragon + 1 fusion substitute)!

Am I missing something here?!

More than likely because the fusion sub has a specific card they're subbing for (buster blader) when you have a dragon in your hand whereas having bb in your hand, the sub monster has no specific card to sub for this not becoming a dragon type

I think you are using the other 'Buster Blader, the Destruction Swordmaster' card which only 'buster blader' when it is on the field

the other person already replied with the correct answer. You can't use fusion substitutes to substitute for non-specific materials. So you can't substitute for "1 Dragon type monster" you can only sub for "Buster Blader."

No, but if you have a "Dragon Type Monster" in your hand/field you can use a substitute for "Buster Blader".

I rekt Osiris using this card.

only 11 packs left, still not getting this 🔥 wtf

This has so much OTK potential, even against non-dragon decks. Summon him and with either Mystic Box or give and take, give your opponent a Poki Draco. That's 3600-3700 damage, plus an attack with another monster such as Mirage Dragon and that's game.

You can improve this combo by using 'flamvell dragon' instead. 3600 piercing damage + 500 effect damage from flamvell dragon. 100% OTK

Probably the trick was this was the only UR left in his pack & it was the last pack he opened.

Exploder dragon and fusion sub, why doesn't it work????

Are you trying to Summon it by tributing The Light Hex Sealed Fusion and Exploder Dragon? Because if you are, that is not a Fusion Summon, and this card must be Special Summoned by a Fusion Summon. You should be able to use Poly with Exploder Dragon and a Fusion Sub though

I played against this dragon deck. Turn 1 he summon Vanguard and discard 3 dragon to raise ATK to 2500.

My turn, fusion summon this dragon destroyer and OTK him with 7800 ATK.

Feels good.

I tried fusion summoning it in my very first turn.i had the blackland fire dragon and buster blade and soon after got polymerization. However it wouldnt let me. Are there any specific rulings as to which dragon monster can be used for his fusion summoning?

No there are none, but did you use Buster Blader, the Destruction Swordsman? Because you can't use that card as a material while it is in your hand because its name is not "Buster Blader" yet.

Says it "cannot be special summoned by other ways" ergo you need to fusion summon it.

I am going to lose my mind what is going on. I have buster blader and the hex fusion card in my hand, I play polymerization and the only option that comes up is my dark paladin.......

You can't use substitute for material that doesn't specify name of the card, in this case you can't substitute the dragon type monster. It will work if you have a dragon type monster and a fusion substitue.
