21: Alexandrite Dragon:



Usability: 2/10
This card would be so much better in the olden days, as 2k unconditional on a level 4 monster is great. But I mean, by itself its just a vanilla 2k monster that doesnt really do anything else for you. It did somewhat recently come out in duel links though where it is probably a bit more useful, but unless you have support built around you, being a vanilla monster only gets you so far.

Design: 10/10
This card hits the core of what dragons are typically associated with in many fantasy themes: riches. They hoard stuff and guard it with their lives. This dragon gets bonus points for seemingly having jewels embedded in its own scales. Other than that, its just a really visually pleasing card with lots of different smooth-flowing colors, a terrifying roar, a background that accentuates it...perfection.

Attachment: 8/10
I owned and used this card in my dragon deck, and whenever I go back to duel links will probably include it in my dragon deck there if I dont own it yet. High marks here as well.

Total score: 18/30
This card gets by on nostalgia and looks. I think its funny how back in the day of lv4 beaters being useful, and even now in duel links, monsters were given a lot less defense in exchange for a little more attack as if thats supposed to balance it out. Even a 1900/0 is better than an 1800/1600, for example. Attack position is just a lot more valuable than defense position, the game has really moved past the point for a while now of needing to put monsters in defense position to protect your life points.
