It's nice that it's not restricted to Lightsworns (such as needing a Lightsworn Tuner/non-Tuner), but Lightsworn is really the only place it belongs, due to the "mill 3". That said, it's extremely solid at 2600 ATK and being able to banish any card for 1000 LP, with the option of restoring LP when it's destroyed. While that seems counterproductive for Lightsworns in general, you can pick and choose which Lightsworns to return to the Deck, which allows you to still have the 4 in your Grave for JD if you wanted.

Banish > JD > Nuke > Shuffle shit > another JD is actually a move that I use a lot.

That's like saying Ryko or Lyla don't belong outside of LS.

 

It's a very good card, just LIGHT decks that can make level 7 Synchros are pretty much just Fableds, sometimes Hieratics, and Lightsworn. I suppose it's not too hard with Artifacts, but what Level 2 tuner are you using? And why?

Because Shaddolls.

That's true.

 

It might have a use in Agents, using Earth, Venus, and a Ball.

If Birdman ever goes back to 3, Gallis.dek could run this.
Could also be pro and tech something like Emergency Teleport in anything that runs Wyver/Collap.

 
E-Tele and Krebons in Artifacts. How would that work?
 
And I don't get why is it Dragon-Type when it is merely mounting JD; it should have been Fairy in my opinion, for obvious reasons. I can't remember if I have summoned this card ever, but I don't need to play it to understand how good is it: Targeting any card on the field AND banishing it is great.
 
Off-topic: I too thought that Shaddollfacts were good. Did that change because of the Limit on Moralltach, or they were subpar before then? And which is currently the best Shaddoll variant?

Shadollfacts were always meh because Moralltach is bad in a Shaddoll format, and even if you add in Scythe as an answer, they still lack a real answer to dolls.

 

The best Shaddolls under the TCG list... are shaddolls. You can tech things like Caius/Majesty's Fiend, but the best build is straight up Shaddolls with techs.

Thanks for the answer. And I'm glad that pure Shaddolls are the best, because that's the version I would look forward to using if I ever play IRL again.

Or in Sanctuary agents with Uranus and a Ball.

OT: It's one of those cards that is really powerful, but is not generic so doesn't have the utility to become utterly off-the-wall bonkers.

The fact that it is dragon type makes it banish-able by Rulers in the Rulersworn build 

They turned an Archangel riding Judgement Dragon, into a Dragon-type. I know Konami has that Boss=Dragon fetish but come on, that's going too far!

They do this all the time with dragon riders. Hell, Gaia Drake's a beast warrior because it's a man on a horse. Only non-example that comes to mind is Dark Blade.

Dragon Master Knight is also a Dragon

I think its just following on continuity. Also Dark Blade the Dragon Knight sucks just because its Warrior

That makes sense. I was not complaining anyways, I just found its Dragon-type a bit weird when the card's name is referring to the angel.
