Card Review: Dark Paladin

So, the first Fusion monster review ever is Dark Paladin.



First of all let's look at the effect:

"Dark Magician" + "Buster Blader" - This monster can only be Special Summoned by Fusion Summon. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, you can negate the activation of 1 Spell Card and destroy the Spell Card by discarding 1 card from your hand. The ATK of this card increases by 500 points for each Dragon-Type monster on the field and in either Graveyard.

Overall a pretty good effect, the ability to negate Spells is very handy, and makes him even harder to kill. I actually suggest putting some dragons in your deck, with him so that you can power him up.


Now the Stats: 2900 ATK and 2400 DEF. His attack will be able to get stronger because of his effect, so we are talking about an ATK that could make Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon watch his back. DEF is good too. 2400 is enogh to hold off your opponent for a little.

Now, Dark Paladin goes good with Dragons, to power him up. He is also a little tricky to get out unless you you have Future Fusion,(Which is limited to 1 per deck I think.) so I would trow in so Skilled Dark Magicians, and Skilled White Magicians. These two guys are awesome for getting out Dark Magician and Buster Blader.

I rate Dark Paladin a 9/10. He is a very good card to bulid a deck around, he has an awesome effect, but he can be tough to bring out. Overally a great card.
