Card Tips:Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode


 * This card is very difficult to stop once it's out, since it stops all Spells, Traps and Monster effects (not just ones that destroy cards) and has substantial attack power.


 * You can use this card with Cyberdark Dragon and when it is Destroyed you get a free Stardust Dragon (if properly Special Summoned before) since its Effect Activates when destroyed as a Spell or  Trap card.


 * You can tribute this card to negate Yubel's End-phase tribute effect and Special Summon Yubel - Terror Incarnate and have Stardust return instantly too.


 * You can create an OTK with this card by attacking with it for 3000 damage, using Assault Slash to get rid of it for Stardust Dragon and attacking with that for 2500, then activating the trap card Assault Mode Activate for another Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode and attacking with that finishing them off.


 * The best ways to get rid of Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode are to use Divine Wrath, Lava Golem, Volcanic Queen, or D.D. Crow and Soul Release, while Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode is in the Graveyard.


 * Use Hero's Rule 2 to protect this card while in the graveyard from cards like D.D. Crow, Soul Release, The Transmigration Prophecy or Pot of Selflessness.


 * To counter removal effects while Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode is in the graveyard, use an Imperial Iron Wall card.
 * Your Opponent won't be able to use cards like Monster Reborn or any other card to special summon Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode once it's in the grave, so you won't have to worry about using it's effect to negate a card then have your opponent revive it on their side.


 * A great card to have on the field with this card is Imperial Iron Wall or Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer, to ensure that your opponent won't remove it from play so it can come back to the field.


 * You can negate effects that activate in the hand, graveyard or even removed from play.


 * You can activate the effect of this card in the Damage Step, because it is a Quick Effect, this way you can be safe of effects like Honest or Gorz the Emissary of Darkness and feel free to attack.


 * Use Arcane Apprentice and Destiny Hero - Malicious to summon Stardust Dragon. This will also let you add Assault Mode Activate to your hand so you can summon this card on your next turn.


 * Since "Assault Mode Activate" is hard to use because it summons one /Assault Mode card from your DECK, you can use cards like "Pot of Generosity" or "Pot of Avarice" to get "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" back in your deck. "Assault Teleport" is best for this purpose. You can use "Hand Destruction" to get "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" in the graveyard, then use "Pot of Avarice" to get him back in your deck, plus getting to draw another two cards, maybe getting you an "Assault Mode Activate".


 * Other good card to combo with this card is Michizure, reason is once you tribute Stardust Dragon or Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode you can play Michizure and destroy 1 monster on your opponent field.
