If Mythbusters had a Favourite Card, this would be it [Exploder Dragonwing]

[玄魔の王]

 

Here in Kingston, I have used this card, had it used against me and have seen it used as a third-person party. I wouldn't say it's a popular card for the local meta, but it's a fun card for dragon players. Discuss.

[Toffee.]

IMO, 'Fake Trap' would make more sence for a Mythbuster's card. Though Bait Doll could also be good.

 

On-Topic: Exploder Dragonwing's effect is brilliant, But the fact how he needs Dragon-Type Non-Tuners is somewhat annoying.

I could see this run in dragon based decks, like hopeless or disaster dragon, but otherwise no.

Hopeless and Disaster Dragon both use alot of high leveled Dragon-Types.

This wouldnt really be that playable.

Then where would this be playable?

Also, a level 1 tuner with any of the level 6 monsters in the Disaster Dragon decks would work (foresees comment about how Flamvell Guard is not good in Disaster Dragon).

I have a feeling 2400 ATK stops it from being great. It's not a bad card at all though.

(love the fact that it automatically destroys facedown monsters.)

(love the fact that it automatically destroys facedown monsters.)

 

That's impossible for two reasons (unless this card has some odd rulings to it):

 

1) Face-down monsters have an unknown attack, you wouldn't be able to determine if that face-down monster has less than Exploder Dragonwing's ATK to be able to instantly destroy it with its effect.

 

2) Exploder Dragonwing's effect happens before the Damage Step, therefore the face-down monster would not have flipped face-up yet to determine its attack when attempting to use this effect.

 

Basically, you can't meet the trigger condition in which "If this card battles a monster whose ATK is equal to or less than the ATK of this card" since the ATK of the target is unknown until after the Damage Step begins, when its too late to activate Exploder Dragonwing's effect.

From wikia:

"Exploder Dragonwing" has a Trigger Effect that activates at the start of Damage Step. (Before a facedown monster is flipped face-up, at the same time as "Sasuke Samurai" or "Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke,"

 

So yeah, i like this Dragon synchro.

Yes, that ruling is explaining the timing of when it does trigger, but again, without knowing the monster's attack, you cannot trigger it.

Exactly. Since the effect activates before the given monster is flipped, the monster has unknown ATK at the time, and the effect cannot be applied. Pity.

 

It's still a nice card when your opponent's trying to stall and/or when you don't have to worry about the backrow too much. Looks pretty cool, too.

[Mister Sir]

It would have seen much more use if it required a Dragon-Type Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Monsters.

[Bringerofcake]

This + Cybernetic Magician = Instant 2000 damage.

[Guest JoshIcy]

This + Cybernetic Magician = Instant 2000 damage.

 

There's better that do that and less advantage lost .-.

Can someone try this in Dragunities?

I've had some fun with this card myself.

 

Pros:

-Eliminates indestructibles by battle (Spirit Reaper, Marshmallon, Dark Resonator)

-Gets around battle searchers

-Catastor & Brionac = food and burn

-Pumping it even a little gets it over Armour Master

-DARK Dragon = Lots of support

 

Cons:

-Annoying Summon Conditions

 

I like the card, though. Through Masked, SS Debris, then during your turn summon Level 3 Dragon.

 

This + Cybernetic Magician = Instant 2000 damage.

Not good. All their Dragons are Tuners.

Can't unsee.

i will when i get WC10.

 

anyways, i like this card. If only there was a lv4 splashable dragon, then this would become really good.

That thing alone makes this playable.

[Sephiroth_The_Legend]

DNA Surgery + Debris + Dandy = This?

[玄魔の王]

DNA Surgery + Debris + Dandy = This?

 

I doubt that's worth it. However, you can go Jack-style and say Vice Dragon + Dread Dragon/Magna Drago = this.
