Silver metal: Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon



Get it? It's metal, and it gets a medal, but I called it a metal cause...yeah you get it.

Usability: 10/10
This card is straight up limited in the TCG and OCG, that's how good it is. The summon requirement isn't a big deal, especially since there exist a few dragons who can bring themselves back from the GY and then get banished the next time they go there, so you stick like a totem dragon face down, it gets destroyed just to come back next turn, and banish it when it would be banished anyway to special summon this guy, who can then special summon another dragon? THat's 2 beefy good monsters without even using your normal summon for the turn! This is THE monster to run in a dragon deck. You know what else you can do? Use it to SS a level 1 tuner and go into Star Eater, or SS another level 10 dragon (which I'm sure there are some) and go into a rank 10 xyz monster (of which I'm sure there are some.) All without using your normal summon for the turn. It's just a hell of a boss monster with a great ability to facilitate all sorts of powerful extra deck plays, dragonic or otherwise.

Design: 10/10
This is like the epitome of what a dragon is, imo. Dark, red (Not personally but I wager most people would associate dragons with the color red), and menacing. It's got red gems in its wings which are a nice, probably unintentional play on the fact that dragons love riches. And it doesn't look too different from the classic red eyes design which is already one of my favorite dragon designs.

Attachment: 8/10
Sadly I never owned this card physically, but I did mess around with it some on ygopro, and it being basically the definitive "So you want to play dragons?" card earns it high marks here. Plus it's a red eyes card, which I've already expressed I like more than blue eyes.

Total score: 28/30
I find this card also interesting because it's the culmination of a series of other red eyes evolutions that were kind of crap. First you had red eyes black metal dragon which was utter garbage and was inferior to the cards used to make it. Then you had red eyes darkness dragon which was slightly better but still not very good. Then you jump from that to this absolute unit of a card. Just an all around incredible card.
