"Stardust Dragon" Rating Score by ゲンゴロウ

Stardust Dragon, the ace of the 5Ds protagonist Yusei. It is a general-purpose Level 8 Synchro that has the effect of negate the destruction effect by releasing itself, and the evaluation has risen somewhat under the new rules because the effect can clear the EX Zone by itself. The effect itself is strong enough, but there are level 8 rivals with no other restrictions, such as Scarlight and Ω, high-performance attackers who don't choose opponents (and Ω can move from EX on its own like Stada), and removal other than destruction is possible. It is difficult to adopt as it is because there are many and it is unsatisfactory for level 8 in terms of RBI.
However, there are plenty of support cards like the main character cards, and although it is a dedicated construction, it can evolve into powerful monsters such as Assault Mode and Shooting Star, so the demand is still undiminished. It's the only WIND level 8 synchro that doesn't have material restrictions (although Crystal Wing is usually prioritized), so it's easy to synchronize with WW, so it's being considered for adoption there as well.
It is a special and complicated card in terms of effect processing, and it is necessary to remember that it may or may not negate.
