While I do agree that the Synchro Era is declining, I won't give up hope on them. They are pretty flexible and have several key boss monsters (touche, so do Fusions and Xyzs), but there still may be a few Synchros over the horizon that may actually be WORTH playing. Who knows? Maybe we'll get an Xyz Monster that aids Synchros/Fusions, a Fusion that involves a Synchro/Xyz "Specifically" that would be worth playing or something else along the lines, much like how this card is pretty decent and could see some gameplay if real.

I said "WORTH" playing. And I AM aware of Axon Kicker, but their means of getting it out with Miracle Synchro Fusion is barely scratching the surface.

Suprized you forgot how handy Drago was against stuff like Red Nova and Shooting Star in the past when we only had Gaia, Absolute Zero and The Shining as the TCG Omni Heros about 1 or 2 years ago.

Guys, Synchros still exist, and Konami still has the ability to print/make more if/when they feel like it.
Hell, Fusions still get members every now and then, so Synchros can do the same as well.
Its just... The Extra Deck follows the same pattern as the current anime.
I mean, Yugi hardly used any Fusions, and most of the card packs up to the GX era contained Rituals n' junk.
Then Jaden came along, and Fusions + Fusion Support was like every other card. Then came Yusei with Synchros, and now its Yuma with Xyz monsters, etc, etc.

....Or something like that.

Seeing as the events of Bonds Beyond Time pre-dated the WRGP (specifically just before CrashTown), Yusei deciding to fuse Synchro Monsters was a result of his meeting with Jaden and Yugi, having seen Jaden perform Fusion Summons and Yugi Summoning "Dark Magician", one of the monsters on "Speed Spell - Speed Fusion".

Sorry for going off-topic there.

One thing that slightly bothers me about the names.
Stardust made sense. He becomes dust which gets in the way of the destruction effect, overwhelming it. Also serving as "protection from the stars", and it took a while to regenerate after becoming dust (reason to why it Tributes itself).
The analogy was just perfect. With this new one... not so much.

I don't hate the card, and I can see it being used if you want to protect something even under the circumstances of it being destroyed by battle first, but yeah... trivia-wise at least, I'm not a real fan of it.

Stardust is actually involved in some sort of Japanese mythos, as I've seen a lot of manga/anime use it before. I couldn't tell you what exactly. As far as this card's effect is, I guess it's a play on the fact that stardust is supposed to be glistening.
