Call me DADdy [Dark Armed Dragon]

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by having exactly 3 DARK monsters in your Graveyard, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. You can banish 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard, then target 1 card on the field; destroy that target.

 

 

Was talking about Yugioh with a friend who used to play with me in high school and inevitably TeleDAD and specifically this guy came up. Despite my distaste for the deck that made it famous I've always liked this card on its own. Art is cool and I'm never not going to like summoning a big badass dragon to wreck face with. Nowadays its a little clunky, but the sheer amount of removal it can pull off still makes it potent(ish) in a deck that can run it. (Red-eyes might really like it? I can't quite think of anything relevant that could get a lot of mileage out of it at the moment). I got to wondering if the game could handle it being semi-limited now. Discuss.

It could be semi-limited, but I don't think it should be limited. It's still pretty good in Shaddoll who actually also have a way to search it, and the ability to summon 2 at once is a bit ridiculous. It's still very powerful when it hits the board (more than it's been recently actually, due to its ability to remove Pendulum scales) and 2800 is still a decent attack stat.

This card is so good that I usually include it in my generic decks whenever I play YGO World Championship 2011. Even if the deck has 8-ish DARK monsters and is just a random assortment of strong cards I have unlocked.

 

Needless to say, I've had much fun playing this bad boy.

Considering it moved up in the OCG, made Shaddoll the undeniable best deck, then got put back down... I'd say semi shouldn't happen. This was earlier on in the 900 series, but still was enough to make dolls go T0

More or less my sentiments regarding it, despite TeleDAD. I had one in my scrubby chaos dragons on DN for awhile and it won me a few games when i got it out.

 

I hadn't thought about it nuking pendulum scales, actually makes it more worthwhile than i thought it was.
