Card Trivia: Red Eyes Dark Dragoon idea was based on Yugi vs Kaiba semi finals duel (as a "What If" moment) if Yugi fused Red Eyes with Dark Magician instead of Buster Blader. Also, Dark Dragoons look is similar to Dark Paladin, yet Dark Dragoon is actually based on both Dragons: Gandora & Red Eyes (symbolism for both Yugi & Joeys bond with Atem) reason why it says Dragon EFFECT monster and Dark Dragoon has Gigarays on its armor. Edit: 8,900 days later, Im still waiting for new Dark Paladin support cards.
@@CoolsyNitro Fun Fact: Konami said themselves this is where the Dragoon idea originated from. Heres another one: Dragon Master Magia originated from the Virtual World arc. Care to try again?
@@jobejacobs62 No they fucking did not. They NEVER said that is where Dragoon came from. You need to give sources for your bullshit. You make up false facts about our cards and you fake regional profiles. No wonder the DM community considers you as such an embarrassment EDIT: The Master Dragon Magia fact is EXTREMELY OBVIOUS as to where it came from. I remember that scene from the anime. Don’t try to prove yourself right with something that is in plain sight
Honestly Verte was always banlist worth since it's inception. It has a huge tool box of fusion spells to work with before it was released during arc v era bunch of unique fusion spells for specific decks came around. Ancient gears got there own, pendulum, and a bunch of other decks. It had to go before dragon but it didn't since we all knew red eyes fusion already was around that was gonna just get smashed into any deck that turn link Verte and make dragoon. And or any other monster that had access to a fusion spell that fused from the deck or graveyard.
Timaeus The United Dragon can all so be used for fusion to bring out Red Eyes Dark Dragoon. Dark magician the knight of dragon magic with all certain dark magician fusion dragon type monsters
Dragoon's effect is like when a kid has his way in designing a monster card. Like I want this card to be untargettable, undestroyable, also give him a once per turn destruction effect, and last but not the least i want this to have an omni negate just in case 🤓👌
surprised you didn't mention Duality to summon it out. love running it in decks that have lv8 light spellcasters in them like swordsoul with iris swordsoul or the handful of lv8 in Dogmatika.
It’s a philosophy that the OCG has. It doesn’t matter if it’s a card that isn’t a problem anymore they’ll just wait YEARS after it’s been power crept to release it.
This bugs me so much because that's the only reason it's banned in Master Duel. I just want them to ban Predaplant Verte Anaconda so I can finally use my boi in my mediocre Red-Eyes decks...
@@TurntOddishexactly I just want to use it as a duality target because the dark magicians drawing 2 cards with duality isn’t as amazing. (1 draw from duality another from the DM’s)
yeah well, Verte is banworthy for sure. But Dragoon would be a nice card in Master Duel, where it's literally not just banned, but impossible to get in any way. Not even craftable. DPE on the other hand is a fairly commn package in Master Duel still. Verte + Fusion Destiny + (since Celestial is banned there atm) Denier, and Dasher for their graveyard effects. Destiny HERO Draw Hand was also a pick I've seen instead of Denier a bunch of times. They're both good options for the low level part. Alternatively, if you just want more generic bodies on the board, Malicious can work too.
to be fair its not true that this card saw 0 meta usage ever, it was played in branded in kashtira format as a way to beat shifter and in a few branded decks with duality (which had a couple major event tops). it saw meta usage until 2023 and it wasnt a lot, but its something
@@elcato8126 you have to hard draw it, but for casual play sacrificing the searchability to actually be able to summon other things is worth it. Not everything has to be from the perspective of a competitive mindset you know. Casual players exist too
As an actual DM player. We fucking hate Timaeus. He doesn't do shit that Secrets doesn't already do but better... and we also hate secrets because it's ass. We need a Branded Fusion for us.
the literal only reason this was broken in ocg was because of how much maxx c ruins deck building in that game and it keeps not being banned over there
@ianslee4765 what the deck also needs is some graveyard recursion and more special summoning. And probably retrain the Gemini monsters, and make them non Gemini monsters. Probably a card or 2 that's not a hopt. Idk what else they can use.
@@DemetrisBarnes "x of the red eyes" (quick effect)can special summon this card(from your hand) if a "red eyes" monster leaves the field. Using this card, and cards from your hand or either side of the field as fusion material. You can only summon dark monsters the rest of this turn. Field spell "red eyes layer" all level seven and lower red eyes cards are uneffected by opponents card effects. If this card is destroyed both players take damage equal to half of one red eyes monsters original attack. Neither player can conduct their battle phase the turn this effect resolves. You can only use this effect once per turn. Being lazy now so just like one fusion monster that gains "original attack" based on the fusion material and that's the deck imo. Its a deck that tries to burn you to get your resources out just to try and steal them for itself
Fun fact Dragoon has a combo where It does a magia end board It was invited by me 2020 It also has a tier 1 style lock down unbreakable till this day. Also invented by me. Years later Konami notice and creating the 1 card magia that i invited 2020 We are still waiting for the other combo i invited to be made 1 card as well 😁🤫😎🐐
When I was getting into playing, I pulled this from a Pharoah tin. I was so stoked to have a shiny rare card, until I saw that it was pretty much useless in meta.
dragoon wasn't the reason it was busted, it was verte allowing it everywhere in the first place that made it busted. which is why TCG banlist will and will always be better than OCG's, cause we do not do "honk honk" clown hits on cards 🗿
If your opponents monster attacks dragoon and it has a spell card attached to it to increase in atk would that work in dragoon? It's not technically affecting dragoon buy when that monster attacks it would?
As someone who LOVES red-eyes, i absolutely HATE this fucking card. Both playing it and against it. It definitely jyst deserves a ban on all formats. Any towers that can be made off a single spell card is broken and everyone knows it. That why it's so toxic.
Actually this card is should have not been ban it should have been Verte..... this card at full power you need to actually put 2 Vanilla's in your deck and a red eyes fusion...
Dragoon useless? What universe you live guys? This card is a omni-negate once per turn and for negate you have to discard one card from your hand. If you haven't even a card in your hand, you can't do nothing! This card is good and balanced in my opinion, in master duel, japaneses and haters prefere die instead free it
It is useless, except for Top Tier decks that can abuse it. On its own or in any weaker decks its very weak and lame. Reason why it has no place in OCG and Master Duel.
@@redace4821lmao., OCG has Maxx C,. that means that's a lot of supply for interruptions and omni-negate. TCG has no interaction and limited hand card advantage. That's why in TCG,. you rather Go Fish for a Kaiju card instead of interrupting your opponents combo.
Just as Maxx "C" has made things like Adamancipator, Infernoble, Drytron, and Unchained way weaker in the OCG compared to the TCG - it has also made things like Dragoon, Dogmatika, Spright, and Vanquish Soul way stronger in the OCG compared to the TCG.
I wish they would just ban Verte in Master duel and bring back Dragoon to 1 just to see what people do to get it out for a while. In the current meta it would be funny
2:15 DM is a deck that struggles because of its engine more so than the boards it can set up. The deck is inconsistent and the engine is too slow to produce the end game that it does. With dark dragoon and some engine cards DM could be a viable deck.
No. I seen people Super Poly, Kaiju, Chimeratech, etc. the fuck outta this card. Thats how easy it is to remove Dragoon, its only good in Top Tier meta decks is the reason why its problematic.
My opponent summons Dragoon at End phase of their turn I chain Skill Drain. After my draw phase actives Harpies Feather duster destroying DM players back row and eternal soul. Well Dragoon nice knowing you have a nice trip.
