There once was a cruel overlord named Chaos Emperor Dragon, who entered the world through the sacrifice of souls, one benevolent, and the other darkened. It defied all description, annihilating everything in it's path within a moment. Back in those days, if you did not speak it's name, those who wished to kill you would. It was a horrible age, where all the simple monsters in the world could not face this beast, and it's minions to follow would eventually create a sickeningly unstoppable force to which nothing could survive. A dragon slayer of the black luster was capable of slaying this creature, but for some reason, they worked hand in hand to bring the demise of everyone who stood against them.

Then there was a tiny bird, an insignificant spirit, sitting on it's crystal ball calling out "Yata! Yata!". It was not a threatening force as opposed to the Chaos Emperor Dragon, but then he began to see his worth, and beckoned to the little bird. "Follow me. With the death of the witch of the black forest, or the gremlin Sangan, you can have this world at the end of my life." The bird simply cried Yata, and accompanied the Envoy of the End.

Then came the battle that could not be won. Chaos Emperor Dragon kept it's promise, as it annihilated what was left of it's enemies in a hellish explosion that could not be stopped. At the death of the Witch of the Black Forest, she beckoned Yata-Garasu from the darkness of the world, when there was nothing left but a sliver of hope, struggling to bring everything back to what it once was.

"Yata!"

The crow perched there in the ruins of the world, and every time it called out, time stopped, and it vanished into the darkness. That sliver of hope could not bring back the world, the benevolent god who wished to recreate the world after the demise of the Emperor. It kept calling "Yata!", hindering it, until it was no more, and the servants of the Emperor brought about the death of the world.

"Yata."
"Yata."
"Yata."

It called out until the gods intervened, and banished these infernal souls from the world forever.

I know this might sound stupid, but Chaos Emperor Dragon Isn't all that great. I beat a traditional deck the other day with my advanced deck and it was a flogging. The game has progressed so much since back then. Traditional decks get absolutely raped by starlight road. I played glads, set chariots and starlight road, and that was game in the first turn.

If you play against a good FTK Deck like Exchange of the Spirit and Magical Scientist you'll think otherwise when you get FTKed 80%+ of the time. Oh and Chaos Emperor Dragon dodges Starlight Road and the only things commonly used you'll be stopping with it there are Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Dark Hole and Heavy Storm.

Of course all the FTK cards/combos that are in traditional are terrible, but A non-FTK traditional deck actually isn't all that hard to beat. And I wasnt saying that starlight road could stop Emperor, but Chariot can - and does so very nicely. Then just recycle it with equeste, and the traditional deck is destroyed. Playing a traditional deck with an advanced one is actually quite fun too, a good challenge.

I doubt a Deck that FTKs people 6 or so times consecutively is terrible but when you consider the fact it is pretty much dead if the FTK fails or isn't accomplished certainly makes the Deck an FTK or lose Deck which is quite bad but if a Deck relies on 1 card or 1 combo to win, it deserves to lose when they can't achieve that combo or draw that 1 card.

Stuff like Imperial Order, cheap mass destruction like Raigeki and annoying topdecks like Change of Heart and Snatch Steal are quite annoying though. They were bad enough when they were legal in the Advanced Format. Of course, Chariot can stop CED but in any Metagame against a Glad Deck, it is something that can hurt you. With Heraklinos out and Equeste recycling Chariot, it pretty much guarantees you game. Hell, I've won a lot of games like that with Glads when I was playtesting them but that was formats ago when Bestiari, Cold Wave and Solemn were at 3 which was horrible to play against unless you were using something like Lightsworn which was still screwed over by Cold Wave when played at the wrong time.

It is when you're not up against FTK Decks. Most of which you're pretty much helpless to stop unless said FTKs fail.

Some of the traditional FTK's have frightening consistency, like makyura, others not so much. But outside of that, traditional decks often fail because they dont have the combo's and card synergy that today's decks do. X-sabers can swarm and win in a single turn, use gottoms loop to discard the entire hand, have amazing support cards like saber hole, which can just stop traditional decks dead in their tracks.

Its a three legged agent of Amaterasu. Broken card that should never have been printed. This banned card is second to chaos emperor dragon in broken-ness.

This is MORE broken than CED by a long, long way.

On-Topic: My brother told me an awesome startegy i could use with this card:

Opponent must have no card on their field, must not have any card in their hand. Yatagarasu, kogeki! End your turn, opponent cannot draw = cant do anything. Your turn, attack, repeat.
