                            Dragon
                           
                           
                          
                            Atk/Def: 3200/2500
                           
                          
                            FUSION MONSTER
                           
                          
                            Summoned Skull & Red
                            Eyes Black Dragon
                           
                           
                          
                            Powerful, scary and...
                            well make that scary+1
                           
                           
                          
                            If you can get this onto
                            the field, without it being countered and the
                           
                          
                            opponent has nothing on
                            the field to stop you. The game is yours!
                           
                           
                          
                            The effort to get this
                            guy onto the field is hard. You need to be able to
                           
                          
                            play your Polymersation
                            card without it being countered. Then you need to be
                           
                          
                            able to draw a Summoned
                            Skull "&" Red Eyes Black Dragon in
                            your active
                           
                          
                            possesion (on field, in
                            hand or any combination of the 2). Meanwhile your
                           
                          
                            thinking .... mmmm, a
                            BEWD is only 3000, why dont I just use that
                           
                           
                          
                            You would be right. This
                            isn't like any old Poly combo. If you don't pull
                           
                          
                            the Poly card or it is
                            countered then you are stuck with 2 monsters that
                            you
                           
                          
                            have to TRIBUTE to get
                            onto the field. This is a very bad thing, often
                           
                          
                            leaves your field open
                            to attack and nothing you can do about it!
                           
                           
                          
                            Bonus to Poly is that
                            you have to stop the magic of it, the Summoning is
                           
                          
                            special so is almost
                            unstoppable unlike a tribute summon which suffers
                            with
                           
                          
                            Trap Hole as an enemy.
                           
                           
                          
                            Often, people I have
                            dueled have summoned it, me letting them without
                           
                          
                            countering it or
                            stopping it. Then i flip up SORL, enough time for
                            any
                           
                          
                            fissures/totd/rageki/dh's
                            I have ready and then even monster reborn it for
                           
                          
                            added humilation
                           
                           
                          
                            Advantages: A powerful
                            card to rival the Gate Guardian and overshadow the
                           
                          
                            BEWD. Not much can stop
                            this card if it is brought into play
                           
                           
                          
                            Disadvantages: If
                            blocked leaves you with powerful monsters in your
                            hand
                           
                          
                            that you can't play and
                            a field empty where your monsters aren't but SHOULD
                           
                          
                            be. Get extra 200 attack
                            over a BEWD isnt worth it. Get a few SJ's, Soul
                           
                          
                            Exchanges and a BEWD or
                            2.
