[quote][size=5]You can Tribute this face-up Defense Position card to Special Summon 2 Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type monsters: 1 from your hand, and 1 from your Graveyard.[/size][/quote]

I'm sad this isn't a target for Masked Dragon..

Haven't played dragons though, don't know much about them.
So does this have any potential atm?

it still targets some nice cards though- Delta Flyer, Masked Dragon, Dread Dragon, Exploder Dragon etc.

The card's greatest problems:

1) It needs to be in Defense. So either it needs to have been Special Summoned, a resource has to place it in Defense, or you wait a turn.

2) It is very specific. One monster must be SSed from the hand. One from the Grave. If lacking one, you can't use the effect.

3) Its ATK of 1600 is weak, and prevents it from being searched by Masked Dragon or other searchers. This greatly hampers its useability.

Resuming, they tried to make a balanced version of Cat for Dragons, and it turns out it sucks badly.

Also, if it were Level 2 or 3.

the reason its level 4 is so people can't spam the field with them assuming you use its effect while 2 others are in the grave.

if they got rid of either the defence position part or the requirements needed to special summon, it would be much better.

This card was made in the Synchro era, you know that, right? And the chances of spamming THIS, even at Level 3, are slim to none.

:(
And here I thought that I wouldn't need sarcasm tags.

But if you get 2 delta flyers, you can make anything from 2-4 Xyz.

The problem is getting this on the field in def mode.

Level Limit?

The only thing I could think of (during the little time I thought about it) was Summoner monk.
Buuuuut, I doubt people run him in dragons?

FALSE. EVERYONE SHOULD USE HIM IN DRAGONS. Just not Lava Dragon.
