"Red Dragon Archfiend" Rating Score by みめっと

An S monster that is one of the signer dragons used by Jack in Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's and has names such as "lemon" and "250 yen".
Since the 《Stardust Dragon》used by his rival Yusei is not his LIGHT but his WIND, I always thought that this card would have been fine as the Signer Dragon in charge of his FIRE, but Lemon is now a respectable card. Dark Dragon S monster group.
Due to the ability to annihilate his opponent's Defense Position monsters after damage calculation for attacking Defense Position monsters, his Defense Position monsters that have been confirmed to be destroyed by battle are also treated as effect destruction.
After damage calculation, you can see that even monsters whose destruction is confirmed will not be sent to GY yet.
It also has the effect of dismissing your own monsters that are judged to have no fighting spirit other than yourself, which is basically a disadvantage effect, but it can be an advantage for monsters with destruction trigger effects.
The first half of the effect is suitable for repelling Defense Position monsters with combat destruction resistance. For that reason, at the time of its appearance, it was used in many EX Decks as one of the level 8 general-purpose S monsters.
However, as the number of new S monsters increased one after another, this card, whose usefulness was originally questioned relatively, "If you do not attack Defense Position monsters, it will not be effective." This card is simply a monster with high ATK. In the three years between the introduction of S Summoning and the introduction of X Summoning, the number of decks that were gradually adopted became limited.
And with the appearance of Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, which has the same ATK, level, and material restrictions as this card, and has the ability to remove activation effects that are more useful than this card, and has the same card name as this card on the field and in GY, some limited It's a card that has almost no reason to be prioritized over there except for the situation where it was.
As a result, the official was worried about neglecting this original card that played an important position in the anime, and this card name "EX Deck" was used for Lemonstrak released in the 12th term. 《Scarred Dragon Archfiend》with the effect we referred to appeared, and this card was able to get a clear place in the EX Deck.
