Wednesday

This was supposed to be my Friday card for the week, but then we ended up with a three day week, but it's still a good way to end the week.
Stardust Dragon is awesome, but now we have an even bigger, more powerful, and eye-blindingly beautiful Dragon...

Majestic Star Dragon, a Level 10, Wind attributed Synchro, who has 3800 attack (which is awesome, even for Level 10) and 3000 defense (which is equally awesome) and Synchro Summoend specifically by Majestic Dragon + Stardust Dragon + 1 Non-Tuner monster.

Let's talk about the Synchro Summon for a moment...three monsters isn't such a problem, BUT two of them are specific, in the form of Majestic and Stardust Dragon specifically. Also, you can't add one or more non-Tuner monsters, you also have to use ONE non-Tuner monster.

Anyway, assuming you successfully pull off this Synchro Summon, which actually might happen once in a while, you have one hell of a Dragon on your Field, and there is likely NO stopping it. You can Tribute Majestic Star Dragon to negate the activation of an opponent's card (Monster, Magic, or Trap, or Effect Monster's Effect) and destroy ALL cards your opponent controls. Nice Field clearing effect considering the summoning requirements here...

Once per turn, you can negate the effect(s) of a face-up Monster your opponent controls, until the End Phase, which is also a nice built in form of protection. Yet, better than that, you can use this cards effect to activate the effect you negated as this cards effect...

Now, as unfair as it may seem, Majestic Star Dragon returns to the Extra Deck during the End Phase, but you can replace it with your Stardust Dragon from your Graveyard, via Special Summon. In short, this is one beastly card, and 3800 attack isn't something to ignore...if you can pull of the Synchro Summon, you better be winning that turn.

Majestic Star Dragon …

Ewww … yeah … It’s got a lot of words on it … and it’s the cover of the booster pack … and it’s Yusei’s card, right? … So it should at least be ok, right? …

Well, what COULD make this card ok is if it wasn’t so damn hard to summon, for starters … its not impossible, or the HARDEST card to get out … but it doesn’t get done without a bit of investment in making your deck functional in that direction. And is it worth it? … No. It is not.

I’m not even going to talk about its super high attack. Its problem is that it can only stay out for 1 turn, and then its gone. If MSD had an effect that could actually END the game on the turn that it came out, then maybe an argument could be made. But it doesn’t.

It can tribute itself to negate the activation of a spell, trap, or effect monster and destroy all cards your opponent controls. Awesome, but considering all the crap u did to get it to the field in the first place, why would u want to DO that??? U want to clear the field? – u grab Black Rose. MSD can also negate the effect of an opponent’s face-up monster and steal it’s effect …. Kinda cool. But again – it only last for 1 turn and then MSD is gone. What’s the point?

I’m sure there are tricks for extending its stay on the field … but ... yeah, forget it. Not worth it at all.
