Card Tips:Hardened Armed Dragon


 * This card can be searched out by Masked Dragon and Giant Rat.


 * You can use this cards effect to help out dragons that already protect themselves from other card effects such as Tyrant Dragon and White Night Dragon.


 * This card can Special Summon itself and be removed to special summon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon.
 * Than you can use Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon's effect to special summon the discarded monster from your Graveyard, making up for the discard cost.
 * Alternatively to removing this card for Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, Tribute Summon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon to have a revival monster that cannot be destroyed by card effects.


 * Use this card in a Geartown Demise deck; since Geartown allows Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon to be Tribute summoned with one tribute, you can then blow up the field with Demise, King of Armageddon's effect, then summon another Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon for an OTK.


 * Use this card in a Geartown Deck since Gear monsters only require 1 Tribute and are Level 7 or higher.
 * Also it can be useful in decks that use "Evil Hero Malicious Edge" and similar cards, since he will most likely be Summoned using only 1 tribute. That way you only lose 1 monster on the field, leaving you with a 2600 ATK, almost indestructible, piercing beatstick.


 * Tribute this card in the summoning of B.E.S. Covered Core or The Wicked Avatar to result in a monster who cannot be destroyed by card effects OR battle. Covered Core because it won't destroy itself with its own effect and Wicked Avatar because it always has 100 more ATK. At this point your opponent's only hope is cards that would only remove from play or return to the hand/deck


 * Machine monsters Tribute Summoned with this card will not be destroyed by the effect of Limiter Removal.


 * This card can possibly be used for an easy Synchro Summon.
 * While Zombie World is on the field, tribute this card for Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon, because it only requires one tribute.


 * This could fit into a Yubel Deck, but only if you plan on tributing Yubel for something, like Neos Wiseman, or if you just want to keep her out and use cards like Battle Mania, All-Out Attacks, Staunch Defender etc. The other two forms don't keep your opponent's monsters out on the field, which is essential for dealing damage to your opponent with a Yubel Deck. If you use this card she can't be destroyed, even by her own effect, and this is also helpful if you have other Yubels and wish to advance their forms, since at some point you will get Yubel - Terror Incarnate out, and normally Yubel wouldn't survive her effect.
 * Another use in a Yubel Deck could be to tribute summon a powerful monster while Yubel - Terror Incarnate is present, giving you more field presence that won't be lost by Terror Incarnate's effect during your End Phase.


 * Use this card to tribute summon an Egyptian God card(currently the only legal one is Obelisk the Tormentor). It will be practically indestructible; if your opponent cannot target it, they will have a very hard time bouncing it or removing it from play, and they cannot destroy it by normal means. They will only be able to defeat your card by destroying it by battle or by using something like Creature Swap.


 * Equip the tribute summoned monster Mist Body to make it harder to destroy.


 * After summoning Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, revive this card repeatedly for tribute summons of other dragons, instead of reviving the stronger dragons directly. This way they all get effect immunity. Use "Genesis Dragon" to return high-leveled dragons to your hand for tribute summoning them and to special summon this card from your hand.


 * Use this card in a Tribute Summon for an Earthbound Immortal. Even if there isn't a Field Spell, the Immortal won't be destroyed because of this card's effect. This, coupled with the Immortals' ability of not letting your select it as an attack target, can provide you with a durable wall against your opponent's offenses.


 * Use this card in a Tribute Summon for Obelisk The Tormentor to have an almost completely invincible monster. The only way it can be rid of is by battle, or by returning effects that do not target.
