Paladins of Dragons

The Paladins of Dragons are a series of Level 4 Ritual Monsters with 1900 ATK. They are warriors riding younger versions of popular Dragon-Type monsters from the anime.

Playstyle
All Paladins of Dragons share two effects:
 * An effect that activates when the Paladin battles (usually it destroys an attacked Defense Position monster at the start of the Damage Step, with the exception of "Paladin of Photon Dragon").
 * An effect that activates by self-Tribute, and Special Summons the related Dragon from hand or Deck.

Also, except for "Paladin of White Dragon", they are Dragon-Type monsters with 1200 DEF. Their Ritual Spell Cards share the naming scheme "[Adjective] Dragon Ritual" ("[Adjective] Dragon Descent" in Japanese).
