Card Review: Black Rose Dragon

Hey, guys! I haven't updated for a while, so I thought would. (BTW, don't worry we'll get the Monarchs too.)



So today we review the first Synchro Monster, Black Rose Dragon.
Let's check out its effect:


When this card is Synchro Summoned, you can destroy all cards on the field. Once per turn, you can remove 1 Plant-Type monster in your Graveyard from play to change 1 Defense Position monster your opponent controls to Attack Position, and make its ATK 0.


Pretty Good, the first effect is ok, if your opponent has lots of traps ready to spring, but it can also backfire on you so be careful. The second effect is awesome, BUT only for certain decks. Check out the word Plant. This is what throws it off. Plants are types that very few, build a deck around, they have their advantages. The effect itself is actually great, maybe even broken.(BTW, broken means so good that it should be banned.) The effect renders your opponets monsters useless. The effect doesn't destroy the Monster, so Stardust and Destruction Jammer, won't be able to work on it. Then you can attack and Monster and inflict massive damage, but the catch is the Plant thing.

Now, the stats ATK 2400 and DEF 1800
It's kinda low for a 7 star monster, but it's effect makes up for it.

I suggest you use cards that make you discard cards, so that you can get Plants in the graveyard. Thorn of Hatered will do pretty good to with it.

BRD gets a 5/10 if you don't have a plant, but if you have a Plant deck it gets a 9.5/10. Overall it's pretty simple: if you have Plant Deck, get it, if not don't. Nuff said.
