Card Tips:Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon

Advanced Format

 * Using "Troop Dragon" and/or "Masked Dragon". Each time they get destroyed, they can Summon another Dragon, ready to go to the Graveyard, giving "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" an ATK boost.


 * You can search out Red-Eyes B. Dragon with "Summoner's Art", Special Summon it from your Hand with Ancient Rules and then Tribute it for this card.


 * This card works well in "Cyberdark" Decks as the main aim of the deck is to get Dragon-Type monsters into the Graveyard.


 * "Cheerful Coffin" is another great way of dumping dragons in the Graveyard for "Darkness", since the amount of Dragons discarded can vary, it'll be easier to use and more diverse in different situation.


 * This card can be most rapidly summoned by using a "Red-Eyes B. Chick" to instantly summon a "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" from your hand, then summoning this card from your hand. Doing it this way will also grant a minimum of 600 extra ATK for it.


 * You could use cards like "Lightning Vortex" and "Raigeki Break" to discard a couple of Dragon-Type monsters in the graveyard to raise its attack while destroying your opponent's cards in the process.


 * "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8"'s effect can also be beneficial, because you can stall for time until you draw a means to summon "Darkness Dragon". On a different note, this deck type combined with the "Cyberdark" cards could prove to be an intimidating force.


 * A great card to use this with is "Elemental Hero Prisma", which can both fulfill the requirement of sending a "Red Eyes" on your field to the grave, and at the same time, place more copies of "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" into the Graveyard for future cards such as "Birthright" and "Swing of Memories".


 * A good card to combo with this card is "Armed Dragon LV5" or higher "Armed Dragon" monsters. By sending Dragon-Type monsters to the Graveyard, with "Armed Dragon LV5"'s effect, you can increase "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon"'s ATK while still destroying your opponent's monsters by discarding cards like "Blue-Eyes White Dragon". "Darkness Dragon" can easily become more powerful than those monsters. You can also use this card after Summoning "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" because this card can gain 900 ATK for the 3 "Blue-Eyes" in the Graveyard.


 * If you send Dragon-Type Normal Monsters to the Graveyard with the effect of "Spirit Ryu", you power up "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" permanently while boosting "Spirit Ryu" 1000 points for each monster sent (but only for the turn).


 * You can use "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" to revive "Red-Eyes B. Dragon", and then tribute it for this card.


 * You can Tune this card with a Level 1 Dragon-Type Tuner to Synchro Summon "Trident Dragion".

 * Use Dragons like "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon", "Red-Eyes Wyvern", and "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" in the Fusion Summon, and then you can use various strategies to Special Summon this card.
