Shooting Star Dragon


Recommended Posts

Well, for those who dont know:

1 Tuner Synchro Monster + "Stardust Dragon"
Each of these effects can be activated once per turn: ● Reveal the top 5 cards of your Deck. Shuffle them back in, and this card's maximum number of attacks this turn is equal to the number of Tuner monsters revealed. ● Negate the activation of an effect that would destroy a card(s) on the field, and destroy that card. ● When your opponent's monster declares an attack you can select it, then remove this card from play and negate the attack. During the End Phase, Special Summon this card that was removed from play by this effect
ATK:3300
DEF: 2500

I think this is better than it's couterpart, Red Nova Dragon. This card is very effective in battle in both offensive and defensive plays.
Discuss... Now!

Yes, but if you don't use the multi-attack effect it's just a 3300 ATK monster that cost your 2 other Synchro Monsters to get out. The negate destruction without losing your monster is nice, but then the second destruction effect will be aiming straight for it. The removal effect is shared with Red Nova, which can't be destroyed by effects at all and is a minimum of 4500, more likely 5000 as soon as it comes out.

If you can move a tuner to the top of your deck, to ensure you get at least 1 attack, the effect may be worth trying, but you won't get 5 tuners unless you're decks overloaded with them or you're Yusei. It really should have been flip 4 and get an extra attack for each.

The problem, *and I say it again*, is that Machine Emperors can waltz right over this

Ironic, don't ya think? The cards that are supposed to be resistant to the Machine Emperors are nerfed such that they don't beat the Machine Emperors. Wow, Konami is stupid.
I mean, Necro Gardna timing isn't broken, Konami.

Personally i think Red Nova is better. I know hat they require different decks, but both decks would benefit from having a large amount of Tuners and a good chunk of Special Summonable non-Tuners for easy Synchro Summoning. In that case, I might as well just go for the high ATK Red Nova Dragon that doesn't die to a second Smashing Ground.

It would be amazing if you knew what the top cards of your deck were or if you knew the top card was a Tuner.

Maybe Convulsion of Nature?

Just for laughs, look at this tidbit in the tips section of CoN:
You can use "Recycle" to put several cards on the bottom of your Deck and the play "Convulsion of Nature", so you can draw [b]good Spell/Trap Cards[/b] like "Lightning Vortex", "Monster Reborn", "Dark Hole", "[b]Sakuretsu Armor[/b]", etc.

Hey! Those are my lines! I point out how the anti-Machine Emperor cards are wholly ineffective against Machine Emperors! *sniff* I got replaced, didn't I?

Shooting Star is a fun card, and probably will see some play, but Red Nova's easier and stronger to get out, so guess who will see MORE play? The combo of Shooting Star and Red Nova is fun, though.

You'll probably never get the multiple-attack effect unless your deck is stuffed with Tuners, in which case I'm surprised you got this out in the first place.

Well, today, I pulled out the first effect. Attacked 2 times :mellow:

BTW, it was the most ridiculous duel ever

My opponent had Grannel with... 5500 ATK. He stole my Stardust last turn
My turn. I summon Grow-Up Bulb from grave, synch with Fullf Token for Formula. I set Synchro Material
His turn, he re-summons Stardust using Grannel's effect. I play Synchro Material on Stardust. Sync it with Formula into Shooting Star. Opponent attacks it, I activate effect, he ends. My turn, I activate first effect. Revealed Debris and Quickdraw. Activate CED on Grannel, Shooting Star two times for game

It must have been ridiculous. Your opponent's a moron.

And if you had Compulsory, you really didn't have anything to worry about, and your opponent pretty much let you bring this out.

Yeah :P That's why it was so funny. And if not this, I still had 1 Fluff Token, so I could Material on Grannel and all 3 into Armory Arm

I retract "Your opponent's a moron" to "Your opponent was screwed either way, and this was just more dramatic". Very reminiscient of Yusei vs Ghost, minus the BS of anime Synchro Material.

Although...you had to use Compulse because, as we've mentioned...Shooting Star is USELESS against Machine Emperors. You had to get rid of Grannel or else your dragon would have been absorbed.

well for SSD is more efficient in Symbol of Superancient deck and most of my duels i was able to summons the average of 2 Accel Synchro (either 2 SDD or 1 tech genus MX001 and 1 SSD) it is actually a lot easier to handle it in that kind of deck bit more than flamvell. but for Red nova Dragon i was able to summon it with flamvell once but it could be a little easier if a lvl 2 tuner can special summon another lvl 2 tuner from either hand or graveyard or so. maybe i need to research a bit more. if SSD would be used on other kind of deck that have a bit of slow pace synchro summon i think it will not go well.

ITT: Even if you draw no Tuners, you can still perform 1 attack with SSD.

Personally, just make sure 1/5th of your Deck is Tuners, taking into account various searchers I'd say roughly 10 is good, if you use IFs to bring SDD out (which is a good idea btw, anything you used for /AM and lolMajestic - as if you ever used that - is viable here. PoA is also good in this kind of deck. It's not as bad as you think.

But it's not very good, either.
