the_engineer Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Is it really worth using? its first effect seems extremely useful (as long as your opponent doesn't have any compulsory-like effect to counteract) and it also gains 500 atk for each of your dead tuners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I love this card to death, but D Prison and CED are things. Worth using if you can pull it off pretty fast. Also, Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend is a thing. This guy's usage goes way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_engineer Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I was managing to build a Vylon-OTK deck and i realized that i could pull out this pretty easiliy, so i'm searching for cheap and powerful cards like these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 The good news is Royal Decree solves a lot of this guy's problems. More good news is Rekindling can make this for one card, and Infernity cn also churn this out. The bad news is he's really not worth it, especially his attack-negation eff.

evilfusion Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Card is fun in Resonator Decks, if only because Scarlet Carpet is obviously a "Make me!" card. But it's really just a giant beatstick that takes an absurd amount of effort for, and half the easier ways to make it can win without making it, such as the Rekindling stuff. That said, Rekindling also makes it easier to play Majestic Red, and this card's existence killed Majestic Red's chances of ever shining, similar to how Shooting Star laughs at Majestic Star's efforts to be cool. Or maybe it's because Majestic Dragon SUCKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Royal Decree, Trap Stun, and Lance, are commonly used cards that can help you make-up for it's weaknesses. I find it funny how a monster that has a humongous amount of ATK, immune to effect destruction, and as if it needed it: The ability to negate attacks and leave the field to escape battle destruction altogether, is "not worth it". Build in protection from both battle and effects, and more ATK than you'll ever need, do not qualify. Hilarious. Personally, it's one of my favorite Synchros ever along with Red Dragon. I just love their flavor, their art, and Red Dragon's effect was pretty original and can come in handy. Not to mention it's 3k ATK is pretty useful as is. What's not to love?

evilfusion Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 It's only not worth it because it requires you to have a specific Level 8 Synchro, and Summon 2 more Tuners whose levels should equal 4. It can be done in many situations, but it's tricky. Red Nova is awesome, and I love it, but the Decks capable of Summoning it usually have better options. But when you compare what Shooting Star Dragon does against what Red Nova does, Shooting Star is better because Shooting Star can protect all your cards from destruction (once a turn), whereas Red Nova is outright immune, but nothing else is. Plus, Shooting Star more than likely used Formula Synchron, which off the bat replaces part of your investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I do hope Jeweled Red gets an evolution that's a counterpart to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yeah, but Red Nova was cooler when Formula was at more than 1, so you could use 2 Formula Synchron to Summon it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy makes me wish Chain Resonator was printed, just for the inanity. On another note, you can bring back Red Dragon with Descending Lost Star, then Debris Dragon into a LV1 Tuner. And Rulers can do this easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
