Buster Dragon, the Eternal Dragon

[Atypical-Abbie]

A Buster Dragon Fusion Monster.

 

1 "Buster Blader" + 1 Dragon-Type monster
Neither player can Set Spell/Trap Cards, also they cannot target Spell/Trap Cards their opponent control with card effects. All monsters your opponent controls become Dragon-Type monsters. If this card is destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or by card effect) and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Buster Blader" in your Graveyard; Special Summon it. You can only Special Summon "Buster Dragon, the Eternal Dragon(s)" once per turn.

So like, this protects the Destruction Swords, there's not much need for you to set in the first place, or you could just set before this, and then activate them since they're all QPs/Traps iirc for the actual S/T, while locking your opponent out of any defensive backrow options for like, attack blocking or countering/summon countering/etc.

That's pretty neat but it might be a bit too oppressive, not sure. But then again, Buster Bladers aren't /too/ amazing anyways at the moment and are mostly lockdown as of now, so it should be okay.

 

Typical all-Dragon eff + revival effect is nice, and stats are nice.

It's also pretty easy to get out, so that's nice too.

Dark Simorgh is probably easier to get out for a similar lockdown effect, plus this applies to both players.

I am iffy about this being Denko Sekka on a 2.8k body (though you can still set your own backrow first, unlike with Denko), but it fits thematically with their current stuff, so you should be okay. Giving this Dracotrampler's effect of making the opponents into Dragons is nice, and sets up for Dragon Destroyer's attack boost and negation.

 

Though, it STILL requires the original Buster Blader to be used, so there's that to consider (and even with all this support, still isn't great), but at the least, you can still revive this card later when needed (CoTH) and can float Buster Blader when it goes (including his retrain) otherwise.

 

Otherwise, I think this would fit into the Deck without too many problems.

(If you can make Destroyer, then you can certainly go into this)

[Astolfo]

The new Buster Blader is counted as having the same name as the original while in Field/Grave, isn't it?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Yeah, the retrain is counted as original BB on the field or in Graveyard.

 

I probably said that part about the Fusion based on pre-BOSH testing with the existing Fusion; normally ended up having to fuse from the hand (and retrain isn't treated as BB at that point). So yeah, if retrain is on field, you can certainly use that also (and it's a legitimate target for this card to SS when it goes).

[Cirrus]

Card's not nearly as oppressive as Denko because Denko prevents activation of any S/T that's not a Counter Trap in response to its summon, so you can actually push OTKs with Denko; while you can't with this card.

 

Otherwise very solid card. I really enjoy its protection ability. Probably pretty rude since the equips lock your opponent out of stuff and your opponent can't reasonably get rid of them with the ability.
