2 Tuners + "Red Dragon Archfiend"
This card gains 500 ATK for each Tuner monster in your Graveyard. This card cannot be destroyed by the effects of your opponent's Spells, Traps, or monsters. 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 by this effect.

 

 

 

 

Let's talk about the card which is inferior to Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons in every way aside from swinging for game.
I just recently found out it's really easy to summon him in Sanctuary Agents too and it's a cute mini boss for the deck so I decided to give it a spot in the Extra. But honestly, it's more like the fanboy in me that wants to use this rather than my experience.

Is it worth the space?

(it would have been funny if it banished the opponent's attacking monster too (not to mention more usable nowadays)). It would have been an anti-Xyz before they even existed.

Agents? Makes sense. I tried to run him in Yang Zing just to try to be different, but as I executed it I realized that it defeated the purpose of Yang Zing...(If only Bixi was more like Phantom King Hyride ... sigh...)

 

Back when Rekindling was at an all time high, this card was law lol but now it's pretty meh. Beelze is definitely better.

Non-destroying removal is so common that I feel a bit sad for this guy.

Exactly, it really is sad. It's only adequate for swinging for game and even then, I'd usually go for Wyvern/Beelze unless there's some backrow I'm worried about and I really need that 5000 ATK to go through.

I really wish they'd print the Red Nova tuner and buff it so it makes this more usable for Synchro decks...

How do you summon this in Sanctuary Agents?

 

> Have a sanctuary and a Venus on the field
> NS Earth
> grab Uranus with Earth
> make herald of pure light with the shine balls from Venus
> SS Uranus
> synch Uranus and Venus into RDA
> herald of pure light effect to grab Uranus from the grave
> SS him again
> use Uranus effect to send another Earth from your deck to the graveyard, so he becomes level 2
> synch RDA with Earth and Uranus into Red Nova Dragon

not saying it's the easiest or optimal thing to do, but it's doable. Uranus is such an awesome tuner
