Welcome to Dragon week! Darkflare Dragon opens
the week, quite the interesting Monster. This Dragon
is Level 5, and has 2400 attack with 1200 defense,
of the Dark attribute, but as opposed to tributing,
but ala Chaos Envoys, can be Special Summoned by
removing a Light and Dark Monster from your
Graveyard from play..furthermore, you can send a
Dragon from your Hand AND Deck to the Graveyard, to
remove a card from either Graveyard from play. I
don't like you have to give up two cards just to
remove one, but it IS good that you aren't removing
two to remove one. I like this Monster, obviously in
Dragon Decks, easy enough to Special Summon, and the
removal (second effect) is nice, if not a bit
costly.

This week we will be talking about some of the
main cards from the new Dragons Collide Structure
Deck that was just released last week. As this
structure deck relies on light and dark dragons, we
are going to start off with Darkflare Dragon. Like
the Chaos monsters, you need a light and a dark
monster in the graveyard to special summon it. Once
summoned, you can easily set up your graveyard and
banished area by sending a light or dark monster
from your hand and one from the deck to the
graveyard and then banish ether one of your monsters
or a card from your opponent’s graveyard.
There are a number of cards in this deck that
benefit from being sent to the graveyard. Eclipse
Wyvern and The White Stone of Legend, both get there
effects right away. By sending Red-Eyes Darkness
Metal Dragon and Red-Eyes Wyvern to the graveyard,
you can bring out the Metal Dragon at the end of
your turn. Besides Darkflare Dragon, there is Chaos
Sorcerer and Lightpulsar Dragon that can use those
light and dark monsters in your graveyard to be
special summoned.
The nice thing about Darkflare Dragon and most of
the monsters in the new structure deck is that they
can be special or normal summoned in other ways, so
using it in a Disaster or Hopeless Dragon Deck is
certainly an option.

It seems I have been good to the all mighty POJO
because he has us reviewing the newest cards from
one of the best structure decks in some time,
Dragons Collide. Also, Dragons are my favorite type.
First off is my favorite monster card in the deck,
Darkflare Dragon. A level 5, DARK/Dragon type, with
2400 ATK and 1200 DEF. Darkflare's effect: You can
special summon this card from your hand by banishing
1 LIGHT and 1 DARK type monster from your grave.
Once per turn, you can send 1 Dragon type monster
from your hand and your deck to the grave, then
target 1 card in either player's graveyard and
banish it. I cannot go on about how great this card
is. You can put what dragons you want/need in the
graveyard where Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon can
work his magic. Or set up a special summon for
Lightpulsar Dragon, Chaos Sorcerer or even Black
Luster Soldier. This card works in tandem with
Eclipse Wyvern as well. And at level 5 it's great to
synchro summon with Delta Flyer, or even Xyz with
Vice Dragon. A great card that adds speed to the
powerful dragon type.

Dragons make it big in Chaos with the newest
structure deck: Dragons Collide.We're reviewing the
new cards from the deck this week and start of with
one of the best dragons yet to hit the game (yes,
I'm rather biased about these guys :) )
Darkflare gives one of the best graveyard fillers
in the game desite being restricted to dragons. Dump
one dragon in your hand to send any other dragon
from the deck to the graveyard. You can set up cards
to special summon another Darkflare, a Lightpulsar
Dragon, or Black Luster Soldier, Envoy of the
Beginning. You can also normal summon him for a
single tribute, if you wish. You can also set up
strong dragons to be special summoned from the
graveyard, as well. This card works great in any
dragon deck, as well as any deck that needs lots of
dragon-type monsters in the graveyard.
