[MACR] Draius III, the True Dracoknight


Recommended Posts

MACR-JP023 真竜騎将ドライアスⅢ世 Shinryuu Kishou Draius Sanyo (Draius III, the True Dracoknight)
Level 6 EARTH Wyrm-Type Effect Monster
ATK 2100
DEF 2800
You can Tribute a Continuous Spell/Trap Card to Tribute Summon (but not Set) this card.
(1) If this face-up card that was Tribute Summoned leaves the field: You can Special Summon 1 “True Draco” or “True King” monster from your Deck in face-up Defense Position.
(2) “True Draco” or “True King” monsters on the field, except this card, cannot be targeted or destroyed by the effects of your opponent’s cards.

 

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting an EARTH True Draco.

Even though the other attributes got True Dracos?

In all seriousness, I could kinda see where you're coming from given that I thought all of them were revealed already.

because the other True Draco tribute monsters were based off Igknights, Majespecters and Dinomists art-wise. Amorphage are a bit of an odd-one-out kinda deal in that pattern, considering that they are on the side of the Dracoverlords, not the Dracoslayers. We are also yet to get a WIND in the Metalfoes, Crystrons and Zoodiacs pattern, so clearly they don't care too strongly about completing the attribute roster

 

OT: This card helps bridge the gap between R9NK True Kings and the Tribute Summon True Dracos, as you can Tribute a whatever for this, then either pop it for the Summon of a True King or for the search of Diagram and get easy Rank 9 fodder.

Well they completed the attribute roster in the case of the True Dracos in this set.

Though looking at the art, I don't think it's really based on anything we've already seen tbph.

less than 2 weeks and on page 2 so...

 

NGL this is easily the best True Draco. It's incerdibly easy to proc, has no OPT, and the protection effect isn't terrible.

 

If I had to rank them, I'd go:

 

Kings/Phoenix:

  1. Bahrastos/WATER
  2. Lithosazim/EARTH
  3. Mariamune/WIND
  4. Agnimazud/FIRE

 

True Draco Roleplayers:

  1. EARTH
  2. WATER
  3. n/a
  4. n/a
  5. n/a
  6. WIND
  7. FIRE

wind and fire are garbage because they do things that are not relevant during the opponent's turn

 

water sets up your traps, this gives you more comboing out/floating

 

and then lithosazim and bahrastos just synergize really well together, mariamune is good as a bridge to them (mostly via the field), and agnimazud is like a decent card to proc at times, but the fire and wind being garbage hurts the last 2

           4. Agnimazud/FIRE

While Agnimazud's float effect kinda sucks, it does have a beefy 3200 ATK under the field spell and the monster banish effect is really nice. Being FIRE also means that it can always pop Vermillion Dragon Mech for that thing's float effect (add hand traps back to hand), which you hopefully are able to make as Synchro 9 is nice for Cloudcastle

Worth noting FIRE True Draco has Monarch stats which is a reasonably good niche, esp since you can Tribute Monarch S/Ts for Trib Summon

 

This card doesn't seem esp useful to me (daily reminder protection is overrated) but eh, floating is easy to trigger so it's got some advantages

Revival as chain to destruction seems most fun use

Uhhhh.

1) Tribute Summon this dude

2) Blow him up and 1 other for the EARTH true Draco

3) Float into another True Draco

4) Make the True Draco Xyz

 

This is easily the best one. Like without question. Hell it can float into ITSELF to give the Rank 9 some protection.
