36: Victory Dragon



This card is hilarious for a reason that a casual observer might not realize, and there's multiple layers to unpack from it. In competitive yugioh, the format is a best 2 out of 3, referred to as a match. If you look closely at Vs effect, it reads that you win the match. This means that if you fulfill its condition, and its your first or 2nd game, you straight up dont have to play another game, you just win the match entirely, even if youre down 0-1. There are actually quite a few cards like this given as tourney rewards, of which V is the ONLY legal one. This sounds great! Except

Usability: 0/10
First off is its summoning condition: cant be special summoned, needs THREE dragons, so good luck with tokens. Then there's the effort you have to go through to proc it, needing to bring it out when your opponent is at 2400 or less AND make sure the field is completely clear lest you get...I dunno, mirror force'd or something. But other than that is the other hilarious reason I alluded to: in yugioh, you are allowed to concede a game at any time. The game ends immediately and proceeds to the next if there is one, no matter the game state. This means that if you are in a game and are about to be kod by V, and thus lose the match, as soon as they declare their attack, you can concede, and render them unable to win the match in this manner. If you know this trick, it is literally impossible to lose to Vs effect. Which means he is then basically a vanilla 2400 atk monster that requires 3 tributes. Unplayable.

Design: 10/10
I am including how it works design in this one because I can, despite the flaws I love that they made a card like this legal and also probably did so knowing the not-so-obvious loophole you can use to get out of it should you somehow find yourself on the wrong end of it. That is just peak memeing to me and I am here for it. It also just looks like a cool dragon, cant really go wrong there.

Attachment: 1/10
Same as parsec and yamata, but I find this card so goddamn hilarious that Im giving it a bonus point because I now love this card.

Total score: 11/30
Its a meme card, but a hilarious meme card. I cant imagine the face someone would make if they got owned by this card and then afterward, their opponent told them they couldve conceded to get out of it. It has to have happened once at least, somewhere, sometime. Whoever you are, get rekt.
