5: Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand



This is the retrain of "Felgrand Dragon" which was the boss monster of the Felgrand mini-archetype that revolves around equipping dragons from your deck like spells and then gaining effects when equipped. OG Felgrand was unfortunately not that good, as you couldn't special summon it unless it was sent from the field to the graveyard first (obviously intending to be equipped by felgrand monsters) and then if you did summon from the GY, it just got a big atk boost.

Usability: 8/10
This card is much better, however. It still gets a big atk boost (the OG felgrand got 200 per level but this still gets you at 3500 with a level 7 monster at 100 per), but not only is it no longer restricted in its special summon, but you now get to banish a monster from your opponent instead, and being able to choose field or GY is huge considering how the GY might as well be a second deck nowadays. The flexibility is just great, and being able to pull it off on your opponent's turn if you use a Dragon's Rebirth or something can be a great disruptor. And if you manage to blow something up with it you get another dragon with it, which means it's a good threat to go into a rank 8 xyz on your main phase 2 if you can pull out another level 8 monster.

Design: 9/10
Perhaps this may feel a little generic to some people but I loved the OG Felgrand's golden scheme, it really put the "Grand" in felgrand yknow? This is a spot on rendition of the original just with different artwork. It looks powerful, commanding, regal almost...grand is really a great word to describe the way this card looks.

Attachment: 6/10
The OG Felgrand was one of my favorite cards, so much like seiyaryu I was ecstatic to find this clearly better version existed with 0 strings attached. I used the original Felgrand quite a lot as well in duel links, even though for the longest time (and maybe still? I dunno) there was a bug that wouldn't allow you to special summon it even if you met the requirement. Definitely lost a game because of that.

Total score: 23/30
I love so much that they took off the summon requirement, because that makes this thing usable in dragon decks where before you really had to run things like paladin of felgrand if you wanted to be able to get it out reliably.
