DM7FGD's Look Into the Future

Article #14 - Ferocious Fusions

For today’s article, we’ll be taking a look at the 3 most powerful Fusion Monsters (Stat-wise) in the current Japanese game and future English game. Let’s get right to it, beginning with F-G-D..

F-G-D (Five God Dragon)
Type: Fusion Monster
Dark/Dragon - Level 12 - 5000/5000
Effect: This Monster can only be Special Summoned by a Fusion of 5 Dragon sub-type Monsters.
This Monster does not take Battle Damage from Dark, Water, Earth, Air, or Fire main-type Monsters.

At first sight, you notice the stats of this Monster, and that's why it may attract people.. But its stats are pretty much the only good thing about it, perhaps not for the trouble you have to go through to get it out.

To get this Monster out, you’d need to Fuse 5 Dragon-type Monsters from your Hand and/or Field.. Not too easy to pull off =/. Do so one of the following ways (Just a few examples).

Simply Fuse 5 Dragon sub-type Monsters
Scapegoat + DNA Surgery to Dragons + another Dragon-type Monster
Some mix of Monsters on the Field with DNA Surgery and Dragon-types in your Hand.

*Fusion Subs may not be used with FGD*

With 5000 ATK, it certainly couldn't hurt having this Monster out on your side of the Field, but as I said before, it's not exactly worth the trouble. And its last Effect is pretty meaningless. It can't take Battle Damage from any types except Light.. Well, what Monsters would be able to take out F-G-D anyway? Nothing much more than a Monster with huge power-ups, a Gaazetto in some situations, or a Dragon Master Knight.

I have yet to see anyone successfully utilize F-G-D in any deck, let alone actually Summon it. F-G-D is a nice card to have in a collection.. But hardly anywhere else =/. Overall rating: 3.5/10. Next, we have the Dragon Master Knight..
 

Dragon Master Knight
Type: Fusion Monster (Black Luster Soldier + Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon)
Light/Dragon - Level 12 - 5000/5000
Effect: This Monster may only be Special Summoned by a Fusion.
Increase this Monster's ATK strength by 500 for each Dragon-type Monster on the Field, besides this one.


Dragon Master Knight is a similar Monster to F-G-D, but this one is more effective and easier to utilize. I have a Dragon Master Knight deck, myself, and it's quite fun to play, especially when you get to see the look on your opponent's face when you actually Summon Dragon Master Knight.

5000 ATK strength. Quite powerful. All it takes to Fusion Summon Dragon Master Knight is simply a Black Luster Soldier (The Ritual Monster) and a Fusion Sub Monster. No need for BEUD, or even Black Luster Soldier's Ritual Magic card at all. Just Black Luster Soldier, Polymerization and a Fusion Sub and say hello to the strongest Monster (In terms of base stats and playability compared to FGD) in the game.

Its second Effect isn't all that useful, as unless you're playing a Dragon deck, which would be wise in a deck with DMK, there's not a very good chance of other Dragons being on the Field. Not too much of a drawback, though. Don't exactly need more ATK stength when you've already got 5000.

When using either of these Monsters, just be wary of Traps like Magic Cylinder or Destruction Ring, because.. Well, you get the picture.

Dragon Master Knight - Overall rating: 5.7/10. Yet another cool card to have as a part of your collection, but not too great of a Monster to use, I'll admit, although I do play a Dragon Master Knight deck myself.


Both of these cards (FGD and DMK) were released as Japanese SCR promo cards from the GB7 game, so there's no telling when they'll be released in English.

For the final feature card of this article, we’ll take a look at a Monster that many people are anticipating its release.. The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon was released as a Japanese Promo card from Premium Pack 3, then as a Common in the Kaiba Structure Deck. No telling when it’ll be released in English.

Again, the stats on this Monster are one of the things that attracts people to BEUD. It’s not exactly great to use by Fusing 3 BEWD’s, but it can be good by Special Summoning it by way of Illusionary Summoner, Cyberstein (Devil Franken - Pay 5000 LP to Special Summon a Fusion Monster, etc.) or Holy Beast Selket + Royal Shrine.

There is a one-turn win combo that some people like to play with BEUD, and that’s with Cyberstein. Bring out Cyberstein, pay 5000 LP and bring out BEUD, equip it with Megamorph, and attack for 9000 damage and the win. It’s a pretty risky move, though.

4500 ATK is certainly very powerful, and the BEUD isn’t exactly hard to get out if using the right methods. BEUD has the potential to be a pretty devastating Fusion Monster, but it’s not exactly great. There’s not too much else to say about the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. I’d give it an overall rating of a 6/10.

That’ll do it for today’s article. Sorry, but there’s no deck example today. Until next time..
