Love how this exclusively helps the OG Red Dragon, turning it into about the best removal, damage calc destruction is bothersome to deal with by anything that's not a Counter Trap and setting monsters is genius, bypassing built-in protections and killing any non-links. I wish the Stardust and Junk stuff had a searcher like this as well.

Random Flavor thing:

Red Hot and Scarright might be better wipes as stand-alone options, but I always preferred the OG flavor.
I think the the original's "stand up to me like a real warrior and give me your all because I want a challenge and that's what I consider a gesture of respect" is better than the manga's "you dare stand up to me? you defing me? who gave you permission?" flavor of Red-Hot. 
Scarright is, what? a base Red Dragon but with wielding visual elements of Scarred (strongest 5DS anime evolution) that doesn't say much about his phylosophy of a King, but it just hints at it being a more evolved version of Jack than the previous 2. A little vague for my taste compared to the other two but oh well [/random red dragon talk]
