Well, thats really strong. It become pretty much well rounded god card at least for 1 activation on each aspect and if its fail it still float to any wind monster

Definitely nice, being protected against all Monster effects for one turn, while having a Spell/Trap negation. In terms of its protection (and its focus regarding defence over offense) this monster is a lot closer to Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon, than Shooting Star Dragon (which stat-wise fits).

Furthermore this just another parallel between Yusei and Yugo, especially the infinity symbol (on the Yugipedia page someone claims it would be ironic that it has an Iliaster reference with the obvious infinity symbol (with its tail), however given that Yusei gets his Accel Synchro from Z-one I fail to see the problem with that reference).

In terms of gameplay this is not unexpected, however soemwhat awkward without the rest of the support (which hopefully fixes a lot of Speedroids issues), although with the honorary archetype member Martial Metal Marcher [given it shares the typing and fits all the restrictions] (which can be used to transform a non-Tuner into a level 3 Synchro-Tuner, without losing field presence) Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon is very easy to get out. In fact Terrortop in hand is enough to get it out.

Special Terrortop -> search Marble Machine -> Normal Marble Machine -> search Taketomborg -> Taketomborg Specials Red-Eyed Die -> Terrotop goes to Lv 6 (Red-Eyed Die) -> Martial Metal Marcher (Marble Machine + Red-Eyed Die) -> Special Red-Eyed Die -> Clear Wing Synchro Dragon/Clear Wing Fast Dragon (Red-Eyed Die + Terrortop) -> Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (Martial Metal Marcher + Clear Wing Synchro Dragon/Clear Wing Fast Dragon).

 

Also I have to point out how hilarious it is that Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon would always win a duel with Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (which is supposed to be a stronger upgrade to the original monster).

damn I totally misread this, so all it does it offer s/t negation

 

Idk why anyone would play this garbage over just an omni negate like savage

Maybe because of the lock into WIND attribute monsters from Speedroids ? (although to be fair Baroness De Fleur is still available and takes the same materials)

Also stating for it to only be s/t negation is not entirely true.

im not feeling it boss

Too much effort required to bring it out for what it can do. Borreload is easier to bring out and offers pretty much the same as far as omni-negates go (yeah ok, it lacks the protection of this card but it's generic and reasonably splashable) and it can't be cheated out like Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon can. IDK, maybe if you could get it out easily then sure.
