Shonen Jump Subscription PromosNormally I don't post every new piece of Yugioh information, but this is good for you Dragon-players. The next Shonen Jump Subscription Promos are...
Red-eyes Darkness Metal Dragon and Dandelion
Red-eyes Darkness Metal Dragon
DARK/10/Dragon/Effect/2800/2400
This card can be Special Summoned by removing from play 1 Dragon-Type monster you control. Once per turn, you can Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type monster except "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" from your hand or Graveyard.
Dandelion
EARTH/3/Plant/Effect/300/300
When this card is sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 2 "Fluff Tokens" (Plant-Type/WIND/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position. These Tokens cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon on the turn they are Special Summoned.
Good luck getting your Darkness Metal Dragons!

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon is one of the best dragons you'll ever see. If we get Vice Dragon now, you can get 2 huge dragons on the field before you even normal summon. That's huge. And the best part is, I'm probably gonna get one of these in a few weeks. Plus Dandylion, but I'm not fond of it.
|
Aarikku
|
Vice Dragon? Meh. Just swarm with the ginormous dragons like Dark Horus and Tyrant Dragon.
|
Naardaas
|
No, Special Summon Vice Dragon to remove for Red-Eyes Darkness Metal.
|
Aarikku
|
I know, but spending Vice Dragon, Red-eyes Darkness Metal, a card to Special Summon AND a Normal Summon eats up your hand like crazy.
|
Naardaas
|
I can agree with almost everything you've said, but for Metal Dragon's effect you can summon one from the Graveyard as well. Making Trade-In that much more fun. Mwuhahahaha.
|
Aarikku

...I was going to comment about how the disagreement with my statement was based on something I didn't even mention, but I think one completely unnecessary useless debate at a time is enough...

I was guessing you meant a card to be Special Summoned from the hand. My statement was based on the idea that if you sent a Dragon to the Grave first, that's 1 less card from the hand. But that's not important really. Swarming is the point, and Darkness Metal does that splendidly.
|
Aarikku
|
Again, never been in dispute.
|
Naardaas
|
Know what's interesting? We haven't even mentioned Dandylion. Most fan sites are buzzing with ideas for the little weed, but we're focused on the less liked of the two.
|
Aarikku
|
We don't play Plants. Big Dragon > Little Plant.
|
Naardaas
|
True, but we're talking about the specific cards Dandylion and REDMD.
How are you gonna get your hands on these cards?
|
Aarikku
|
Probably eBay or something. That's if I feel like getting them - the only Dragons I really like are Horus and Blue-eyes. Archetype-ish dragons don't benefit as much from Red-eyes Darkness Metal as others.
|
Naardaas
|
Well, I happen to be a subscribing member of Shonen, and I just recently renewed my scrip. I dunno what to do with Dandylion, but once I get Red-Eyes I'm making my Dragon deck. With a twist.
|
Aarikku
|
See? You can't stay away from dragons for long.
|
Naardaas
|
Is that a crack at my enjoying dragons? 'Cause it's not that pathetic.
|
Aarikku
|
No. It isn't.
|
Naardaas
|
Then that's a good point.
|
Aarikku
|
T'was why I said it.
|
Naardaas
|
Do you think either of these cards will be limited in any way? 'Cause I predict Dandylion will get Limited or Semi-Limited (since it creates easy Tribute fodder), and REDMD Semi-Limited for its power (almost RaiDa-like, isn't it?).
|
Aarikku
|
Dandylion IS limited. EDIT: Rather, in Japan. So it'll get emergency-limited. Red-eyes might get Semi'd or something if it becomes a problem... but it'll have to top a Regionals first.
|
Naardaas
|
True. But that's not hard. When you can easily bust out 2 2800+ dragons in 1 turn, add a Trunade, Storm, Stamping... your opponent ain't doin' too well.
|
Aarikku
|
Versus a free 2800 Dark Armed Dragon that instantly blows up three cards on your opponent's field? Or Gladiators - fuse for Gyzarus, destroy 2 cards, de-fuse into Darius and stuff to revive more Gladiators... it'd be tough competition.
|
Naardaas
|
I'm not saying it wouldn't require work. All I'm saying is that REDDO-AISSU DAKUNESU-METARU-DORAGON has the potential to do some real and significant damage.
|
Aarikku
|
I agree. But you asked if it would be limited, not if it was good.
|
Naardaas
|
A fair point, a fair point indeed - but isn't it being good that gets cards Limited or Banned?
|
Aarikku
|
No, it's being unfairly good.
|
Naardaas
|
More accurately, it's being good to the point of being abused. That's how United We Stand got banned; with Scapegoat, a 4000 point boost was too easy. Same with Breaker, Magician of Faith, and every other banned/limited card.
|
Aarikku
|
So you agree with me.
|
Naardaas
|
I do. I'm just being more precise.
|
Aarikku
|
But you've randomly changed your mind, which is odd.
|
Naardaas
|
No I haven't. You've just misread my messages (not my posts).
|
Aarikku
|
Your posts encompass your message. If I've misread them, you've miswrote them.
|
Naardaas
|
My point is, I've never changed my mind.
|
Aarikku
|
You went from "Red-eyes Darkness Dragon will be semi-limited" to "Red-eyes Darkness Dragon is good, but not unfairly good and it is being unfairly good that gets cards limited".
|
Naardaas
|
No, you said that. I stated why I thought that, then we got into a side-topic of what got a card Limited, and I haven't said anything about REDMD since then. When I said I agreed with you, I was referrring to what got cards Limited.
|
Aarikku
|
You need to be clearer.
|
Naardaas
|
I will try.
Anyway, you decided whether you want REDMD yet?
|
Aarikku
|
No, but I'll take Dandylion. I've got an idea.
|
Naardaas
|
You trying for the Plant deck or somethin'?
And how are you getting it? Ebay?
