Summoning

"Shooting Quasar Dragon" can summon this card from the Extra Deck if it would leave the field. However, this effect misses timing, meaning that it won't work if "Shooting Quasar Dragon" is Tributed for a "Kaiju".

The following method assumes an empty initial board state: Special Summon "Ascator, Dawnwalker" by sending "Stardust Xiaolong" from hand to Graveyard. Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon" using "Ascator" and the "Fire Ant Ascator" that it summons. "Xiaolong" will then revive itself from your Graveyard. Finally, Normal Summon a Level 1 Tuner monster to tune with "Xiaolong" for the Level 2 Tuner Synchro Monster.

"Ghost Charon, the Underworld Boatman" can disregard this card's Synchro material requirements to Special Summon it from the Extra Deck, provided that you have a Level 8 Fusion Monster to banish from your Graveyard. However, it will prevent viable use of this card's last effect.

"Rekindling" can Special Summon "Flamvell Baby", "Flamvell Poun", "Flamvell Firedog" and "Flamvell Magician" from your Graveyard.

If "Stardust Dragon" is in your Graveyard, whether or not it was summoned properly, then you can use "Phantom of Chaos" to copy its name. If you do so, the Level of the Tuner Synchro Monster required becomes 6.

Using its effect

"Dark Doriado" can place four different cards on top of your deck in any order, as long as they are one each of WATER, WIND, EARTH and FIRE monsters. That way, this card's first effect is guaranteed to excavate four Tuner monsters and allow for four attacks during your Battle Phase.

This card's third effect allows for cards such as "Reanimation Wave", "Reject Reborn" and "King's Consonance" to be used, if your opponent is able to attack more than once that turn.

Countering

Use "Skill Drain" to negate this card's effect and then use destruction cards.

This card's second and third effects makes it relatively hard to destroy this monster.
- One option is to use 2 destruction cards, like "Smashing Ground", "Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter", "Raigeki Break" etc.), 1 Banish card (like "Karma Cut", "Caius the Shadow Monarch", etc.)
- Another is to activate a card to return it to the Extra Deck. Cards like "Compulsory Evacuation Device", "Penguin Soldier", "Raiza the Storm Monarch", "Abyss Soldier", "Rasetsu" can complete this task.
- Another is to activate a card that sends cards to the GY but does not destroy them, like "Crystal Abundance", "Dark End Dragon", "Codarus", etc.

This card bears the same weakness as cards with similar self-banishing effects: namely, by using "Burial from a Different Dimension" (or cards with similar effects) once this card has been banished by its own effect. You will force this card into the GY and prevent its return to the field.

"Number 101: Silent Honor ARK" and "Cyber Dragon Infinity" can make this card become a mere Xyz Material.

"Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman" can negate this card's effects and surpass it's ATK by 1500, as it gains 1000 ATK for each Dragon monster your opponent controls or is in their GY, counting "Shooting Star Dragon" on the field and "Stardust Dragon" in the GY. This card also be a Fusion Material for "Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman" by using "Destruction Swordsman Fusion" or "Super Polymerization".

Traditional Format

There are many ways to summon this card which involve "Dandylion", "Level Eater", "Glow-Up Bulb" and "Jet Synchron" as material.

 ==Summoning==
-* In a [[Karakuri]] [[Machina]] [[Plant]] Deck you can summon this card very easily on your first turn. First activate [[Foolish Burial]], send [[Dandylion]] to the graveyard to special summon two "[[Fluff Token]]s". Summon [[Lonefire Blossom]] play the effect and summon [[Glow-Up Bulb]] or use [[One for One]], or just summon normally if you already have Glow-Up Bulb in your hand. Tune with one of the tokens to summon [[Formula Synchron]] and draw a card. Special Summon [[Machina Fortress]] by using its effect to discard with another machine type monster from your hand ,next summon Glow-Up Bulb from the graveyard with it's effect, tune them together to summon [[Stardust Dragon]] synchro again for [[Shooting Star Dragon]]. To Recap all you need in your hand is [[Foolish Burial]], "Machina Fortress", another [[Machine]] type monster and Glow-Up Bulb or Lonefire Blossom or One for One (you will need an extra monster for One for One) Most hands in this deck will set you up nicely for this combo most of the time.
+* "[[Shooting Quasar Dragon]]" can summon this card from the [[Extra Deck]] if it would leave the field. However, this effect [[Missing the timing|misses timing]], meaning that it won't work if "Shooting Quasar Dragon" is Tributed for a "[[Kaiju]]".
-* Activate "[[One for One]]", by discarding "[[Dandylion]]",to [[Special Summon]] "[[Spore]]" while two [[Fluff Token]]s appear. Then [[Normal Summon]] a [[Level]] 3 or 4 non-tuner. [[Synchro Summon|Tune]] "Spore" with "Fluff Token" to Synchro Summon "[[Formula Synchron]]". Special Summon "Spore" with its effect and by removing "Dandylion", Spore becomes Level 4. [[Synchro Summon|Tune]] "Spore" with the Level 4 monster or "Spore" with the level 3 monster and the last "Fluff Token" to Synchro Summon "[[Stardust Dragon]]". Then, [[Synchro Summon|tune]] this card.
+* The following method assumes an empty initial board state: Special Summon "[[Ascator, Dawnwalker]]" by sending "[[Stardust Xiaolong]]" from hand to Graveyard. Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon" using "Ascator" and the "[[Fire Ant Ascator]]" that it summons. "Xiaolong" will then revive itself from your Graveyard. Finally, Normal Summon a Level 1 [[Tuner monster]] to tune with "Xiaolong" for the Level 2 [[Tuner Synchro Monster]].
-* One of the easiest way to [[Special Summon]] this card is to use "[[Flamvell Firedog]]" and "[[Cursed Prison]]", destroy any monster by battle with [[Flamvell Firedog]], after that, [[Special Summon]] [[Flamvell Magician]], [[Synchro Summon]] "[[Stardust Dragon]], if "[[Cursed Prison]]" has been on your field for a turn, you can immediately activate it's effect to [[Special Summon]] "[[Formula Synchron]]." Next turn, "[[Shooting Star Dragon]]" is ready for battle.
+* "[[Ghost Charon, the Underworld Boatman]]" can disregard this card's Synchro material requirements to Special Summon it from the Extra Deck, provided that you have a Level 8 [[Fusion Monster]] to banish from your Graveyard. However, it will prevent viable use of this card's last effect.
-* Activate "[[One for One]]", by discarding "[[Gigaplant]]" or another level 6 PLANT monster, to [[Special Summon]] "[[Spore]]". Then [[Normal Summon]] "[[Evil Thorn]]", and tribute it to special summon two more from the [[deck]]. [[Synchro Summon|Tune]] "Spore" with "Evil Thorn" to Synchro Summon "[[Formula Synchron]]". Special Summon "Spore" with its effect and by removing "Gigaplant", or the level 6 monster from play; Spore becomes Level 7. [[Synchro Summon|Tune]] "Spore" with the other "Evil Thorn" to Synchro Summon "[[Stardust Dragon]]". Then, [[Synchro Summon|tune]] this card.
+* "[[Rekindling]]" can [[Special Summon]] "[[Flamvell Baby]]", "[[Flamvell Poun]]", "[[Flamvell Firedog]]" and "[[Flamvell Magician]]" from your Graveyard.
-* You can easily summon this card if you have synchro summoned "[[Majestic Star Dragon]]" onto your field. Since Majestic Star Dragon returns back to the "[[Extra Deck]]" during the End Phase, you can activate "[[Synchro Change]]" to [[banish]] it and special summon "[[Shooting Star Dragon]]" in return. Although this costs not activating its effect during that turn and summoning back "[[Stardust Dragon]]" from the "[[Graveyard]]".
+*If "Stardust Dragon" is in your Graveyard, whether or not it was summoned properly, then you can use "[[Phantom of Chaos]]" to copy its name. If you do so, the Level of the [[Tuner Synchro Monster]] required becomes 6.
-* This card can be easily Summoned in one turn using only 2 cards if "[[Formula Synchron]]" is already in your Graveyard. [[Special Summon]] "[[Cyber Dragon]]", "[[Oracle of the Sun]]" or "[[Vice Dragon]]", from your hand, then Normal Summon "[[Junk Synchron]]" and use its effect to revive "Formula Synchron".  Then, using "Junk Synchron" and the [[Level]] 5 monster, Synchro Summon "[[Stardust Dragon]]".  Finally, tune "Formula Synchron" and "Stardust Dragon" to summon this card. You can also use [[Instant Fusion]] to provide the level 5 monster.
-** If you have "[[Stardust Xiaolong]]" and one level 1 tuner in your graveyard you can use the above combo, just special summon the level 1 tuner with "Junk Synchron", then, when "Stardust Dragon" is summoned you can special summon "Xiaolong" from the graveyard and synchro with the Level 1 tuner for "Formula Synchron".
+== Using its effect ==
-* You can use "[[Rekindling]]" to summon this card by Summoning "[[Flamvell Baby]]", "[[Flamvell Poun]]", "[[Flamvell Magician]]" and "[[Flamvell Firedog]]".  Tune "Flamvell Baby" and "Flamvell Poun" to Synchro Summon "Formula Synchron".  Then, tune "Flamvell Magician" and "Flamvell Firedog" to Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon".  Finally, tune "Formula Synchron" and "Stardust Dragon" to [[Synchro Summon]] this card.
+* "[[Dark Doriado]]" can place four different cards on top of your deck in any order, as long as they are one each of [[WATER]], [[WIND]], [[EARTH]] and [[FIRE]] monsters. That way, this card's first effect is guaranteed to excavate four Tuner monsters and allow for four attacks during your Battle Phase.
-* "[[Synchro Change]]" and "[[Starlight Road]]" can quickly summon "Stardust Dragon", making this card's summoning fairly easier.
+* This card's third effect allows for cards such as "[[Reanimation Wave]]", "[[Reject Reborn]]" and "[[King's Consonance]]" to be used, if your opponent is able to attack more than once that turn.
-* You can also decrease "[[Stardust Dragon]]"'s Level to Special Summon "[[Level Eater]]". Then, banish "Stardust Dragon" to Special Summon "[[Different Dimension Spirit]]". Next, tune "[[Different Dimension Spirit]] and "[[Level Eater]]" into "[[Formula Synchron]]", and draw a card. During the next Standby Phase, "[[Stardust Dragon]]" returns to the field. Finally, during your opponent's Main Phase, you can tune "[[Formula Synchron]]" and "Stardust Dragon" into "Shooting Star Dragon".
+==Countering==
-* You can easily Synchro Summon this monster in a [[Quickdraw Dandywarrior]] deck. You need to have a "[[Lonefire Blossom]]" on the field along with a "[[Dandylion]]". Tribute "Lonefire Blossom" and Special Summon another "Lonefire Blossom". After, tribute "Dandylion" by the effect of "Lonefire Blossom" and Special Summon "[[Spore]]". "Dandylion"'s effect will Special Summon 2 [[Fluff Token]]s. Tune Spore with a [[Fluff Token]] (1+1=2) to Synchro Summon "[[Formula Synchron]]". Draw 1 card with "Formula Synchron" effect. Then, use "Spore"'s effect removing a "Lonefire Blossom" from your [[Graveyard]]. Spore will be [[Level]] 4 (1+3=4). Tune "Spore" along with "Lonefire Blossom" and the Fluff Token to Synchro Summon "[[Stardust Dragon]]" (4+3+1=8). Last, tune Formula Synchron with "Stardust Dragon" to Synchro Summon "[[Shooting Star Dragon]]".
+* Use "[[Skill Drain]]" to negate this card's effect and then use destruction cards.
+* This card's second and third effects makes it relatively hard to destroy this monster.
-* This card is fairly easy to summon in a "Lightsworn" Deck. All you need is "[[Glow-Up Bulb]]", "[[Spore]]" and "[[Plaguespreader Zombie]]" in your Graveyard and "[[Wulf, Lightsworn Beast]]" and "[[Foolish Burial]]" in your Hand as well as a "[[Dandylion]]" in your Deck (or "Dandylion" in your Hand and "Wulf, Lightsworn Beast" in your Deck, doesn't matter). Use "Foolish Burial" to send "Dandylion" to the Graveyard, triggering its effect to Special Summon 2 Level 1 tokens. Then, activate "Plaguespreader Zombie's" effect, and place "Wulf, Lightsworn Beast" on top of your Deck. Send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard (which is "Wulf") to Special Summon "Glow-Up Bulb" from the Graveyard and "Wulf, Lightsworn Beast", since you send it from the deck to the Graveyard. Tune "Glow-Up Bulb" with one of the tokens to Synchro Summon "Formula Synchron" and draw a card. Banish "Dandylion" from your Graveyard to Special Summon "Spore". Tune "Spore" with "Wulf, Lightsworn Beast" to Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon". Tune "Formula Synchron" with "Stardust Dragon" to Synchro Summon "Shooting Star Dragon". Since you didn't Normal Summon, you can summon any monster for another Synchro Summon, since "Plaguespreader Zombie" is still on the field (preferably "[[Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner]]" and discard a card to Special Summon "Wulf, Lightsworn Beast" to Synchro Summon "[[Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]", which will give you a nice card advantage.)
+** One option is to use 2 destruction cards, like "[[Smashing Ground]]", "[[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]]", "[[Raigeki Break]]" etc.), 1 Banish card (like "[[Karma Cut]]", "[[Caius the Shadow Monarch]]", etc.)
-** It doesn't matter how "Dandylion" is sent to the Graveyard. You could also send it there by activating cards like "[[Card Destruction]]" or "[[Destruct Potion]]", depending on where it is. Since "[[Monster Reincarnation]]" is often found in a "Lightsworn Deck", it would be a good choice to use if it's in your Hand. "[[Judgment Dragon]]" is also a good way to send it to the Graveyard if its on the field, since you'd wipe out the whole field, which could easily create an OTK, since "Shooting Star Dragon" and whatever other monsters you'll have (e.g "Judgment Dragon") will be able to attack directly.
+** Another is to activate a card to return it to the Extra Deck. Cards like "[[Compulsory Evacuation Device]]", "[[Penguin Soldier]]", "[[Raiza the Storm Monarch]]", "[[Abyss Soldier]]", "[[Rasetsu]]" can complete this task.
-** Try to get the cards to the Graveyard by using cards like "[[Solar Recharge]]" and "[[Charge of the Light Brigade]]". Since "Lightsworns" mill their deck pretty fast, this is also a good method to send your "Lightsworns" to the Graveyard and still have powerful monsters on the field, if your close to deck-out.
+** Another is to activate a card that sends cards to the GY but does not destroy them, like "[[Crystal Abundance]]", "[[Dark End Dragon]]", "[[Codarus]]", etc.
+* This card bears the same weakness as cards with similar self-banishing effects: namely, by using "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]" (or cards with similar effects) once this card has been banished by its own effect. You will force this card into the GY and prevent its return to the field.
-* If you don't have a Synchro Tuner monster, you can substitute it with "[[Lightwave Tuning]]" and "[[Armory Arm]]". [[Activate]] "Lightwave Tuning" on "Armory Arm" which now treated as a Synchro Tuner monster. Reduce the [[Level]] of the "Stardust Dragon" you control to 6 or your "Armory Arm" to 2 by using Demotion. Then, with both, you can Accel Synchro Summon a "Shooting Star Dragon".
+* "[[Number 101: Silent Honor ARK]]" and "[[Cyber Dragon Infinity]]" can make this card become a mere Xyz Material.
-* You can easily summon this card with just three cards in your hand "[[Debris Dragon]]", "[[One for One]]" and "[[Dandylion]]". Activate "One for One", discard "Dandylion", Special Summon a level one Tuner and the two "Fluff Tokens", tune one "Fluff Token" with the level one Tuner to summon "Formula Synchron", Normal Summon "Debris Dragon", Special Summon "Dandylion", now tune "Dandylion", "Debris Dragon" and the remaining "Fluff Token" to summon "Stardust Dragon", Special Summon two "Fluff Tokens" and tune "Stardust Dragon" with "Formula" to get "Shooting Star Dragon". Because of the drawing effect of "Formula Synchron" you technically only used two cards to summon "Shooting Star Dragon" and two "Fluff Tokens".
+* "[[Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman]]" can negate this card's effects and surpass it's ATK by 1500, as it gains 1000 ATK for each Dragon monster your opponent controls or is in their GY, counting "Shooting Star Dragon" on the field and "[[Stardust Dragon]]" in the GY. This card also be a [[Fusion Material]] for "Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman" by using "[[Destruction Swordsman Fusion]]" or "[[Super Polymerization]]".
-* Have at least one "[[Monarch]]" monster on the field other than "[[Zaborg the Thunder Monarch]]". Special Summon "Level Eater" from your Graveyard by lowering the Monarch's level by 1, then Normal Summon "Junk Synchron" to bring back a Level 1 Tuner. You can tune "Junk Synchron" with the "Monarch" to Summon "Stardust Dragon" then tune the Level 1 tuner with "Level Eater" to summon "Formula Synchron".
+== Traditional Format ==
-* This card is extremely easy to Summon in a Fish Deck. Summon "[[Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth]]" and use its effect to Special Summon: "[[Fishborg Blaster]]", "[[Deepsea Macrotrema]]", "[[Royal Swamp Eel]]" and any Level 4 [[Fish]] from your deck.
-** Another variation of this move is Summon "Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth" and use its effect to Special Summon: 2x "Fishborg Blaster" and "Deepsea Macrotrema" from your deck. You can use "Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth" (Level 7) and "Fishborg Blaster" (Level 1) to summon "Stardust Dragon" and "Fishborg Blaster" and "Deepsea Macrotrema" for "Formula Synchron".
-***A third variation of this is: Using "Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth's" effect, summon "Royal Swamp Eel" and "[[7 Colored Fish]]"/"[[Abyssal Kingshark]]"/"[[Golden Flying Fish]]"/"[[Metabo-Shark]]" and "[[Oyster Meister]]" and "Fishborg Blaster". Synchro summon "Stardust Dragon" using "Royal Swamp Eel" and "7 Colored Fish"/"Abyssal Kingshark"/"Golden Flying Fish"/"Metabo-Shark". Synchro summon "[[Armory Arm]]" using "Oyster Meister" and "Fishborg Blaster". Bring back "Fishborg Blaster" and synchro summon "Formula Synchron" using the "[[Oyster Token]]" and "Fishborg Blaster". Synchro summon "Shooting Star Dragon" using "[[Formula Synchron]]" and "Stardust Dragon". It's probably best to equip "Armory Arm" to "Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth" so that it can stay on the field longer, as compared to equipping to "Shooting Star Dragon", who will send an equipped "Armory Arm to the Graveyard if "Shooting Star Dragon" uses its attack negation effect (its third effect).
-* This card can be summoned using 3 "Tuningware"(in the deck), "Turbo synchron", "Debris Dragon", "One for one" and "Machine duplication". Use "One for one" to discard "Turbo synchron" and special summon "Tuningware", activate machine duplication to get 2 more Tuningwares from your deck then summon "Debris dragon" and revive "Turbo synchron", tune "Turbo synchron" and "Tuningware" for "Formula synchron" allowing you to draw 2 cards then tune "Debris dragon" and the 2 remaining "Tuningwares" to summon "Stardust Dragon" and draw 2 cards then tune "Stardust Dragon" and "Formula Synchron" to summon "Shooting Star Dragon". With this you use 4 cards from your hand to summon "Shooting Star Dragon" and draw 4 cards.
-* This card is easy to summon in a teched [[Scrap]] deck. Special summon "[[Scrap Beast]]" with "[[Scrap Golem]]". Then lower Golem's level to special summon "[[Level Eater]]". Then tune Golem and Beast together to synchro summon "[[Stardust Dragon]]". Special Summon "[[Glow-Up Bulb]]" and tune with "[[Level Eater]]" for "[[Formula Synchron]]".
+* There are many ways to summon this card which involve "[[Dandylion]]", "[[Level Eater]]", "[[Glow-Up Bulb]]" and "[[Jet Synchron]]" as material.
-*When you have [[Monster Reborn]] or a similar card and [[Lonefire Blossom]] in your hand, and another [[Lonefire Blossom]],a [[Spore]] and a [[Dandelion]] in your Deck, first summon Lonefire Blossom, then activate its effect and tribute it to summon the second Lonefire Blossom from your deck, then activate Monster Reborn to revive the first Lonefire Blossom and tribute it again for its effect to summon Dandelion, which has to be tributed for the second Lonefire Blossoms effect to summon Spore. This will also give you two Fluff-Tokens. Tune one token with spore for [[Formula Synchron]] and draw a card, then activate Spores effect, by selecting Lonefire Blossom. Then tune Lonefire Blossom, the remaining token and the now Level 4 Spore to summon Stardust dragon. Then tune Stardust dragon and Formula Synchron to summon Shooting star dragon.
-* You can [[Synchro Summon]] this card easily with "[[Debris Dragon]]" and "[[Doppelwarrior]]" in your hand, and one "[[Glow-Up Bulb]]" in your [[Graveyard]]. Normal Summon "Debris Dragon, then use its effect to Special Summon "Glow-Up Bulb" from your Graveyard, then Special Summon "Doppelwarrior" from your hand. Tune "Debris Dragon" and "Doppelwarrior" to [[Synchro Summon]] any [[Level]] 6 [[Dragon]]-type [[Synchro Monster]]. Special Summon 2 [[Doppel Token]]s. Tune "Glow-up Bulb" with one "Doppel Token" to Synchro Summon "Formula Synchron". Special Summon "Glow-Up Bulb" from your Graveyard via its effect. Tune "Glow-up Bulb" with one "Doppel Token" to Synchro Summon another "Formula Synchron". Tune one "Formula Synchron" with the Level 6 Dragon-type Synchro Monster to Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon". Tune the other "Formula Synchron" with "Stardust Dragon" to Summon this card.
-==Using==
-* You can prevent your opponent from [[removing from play]] this card by using "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]", making this card much harder to get rid of. But note that you will not be able to use this card to negate attacks if you do so.
-* Equip this card with "[[Silver Wing]]" to make this card extremely powerful, together with its own negation ability.
-* You can create an [[OTK]] with this card providing your opponent has no monsters and you pick up at least 3 [[Tuner]] monsters. Use cards like "[[Plaguespreader Zombie]]" to top-deck [[Tuner]] monsters from your hand.
-* You can try using "[[Spell Chronicle]]" and "[[Future Fusion]]" for "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" to stack the top of the deck with tuners to use it's multi-attack ability.
-* "[[A Feather of the Phoenix]]" will ensure that you have a tuner up on top.
-* During your Battle Phase or your opponent's Battle Phase, you can use "[[Urgent Tuning]]" to Accel Synchro Summon this card if "Formula Synchron's" effect is negated.
-* You should use cards that return tuner monsters from your graveyard to your deck like "[[Pot of Avarice]]", "[[A Prayer to Gusta]]", "[[Des Feral Imp]]", "[[Emperor Sem]]", "[[Eviritua Mind Ogress]]", "[[Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord]]", "[[Genesis Dragon]]", "[[Pot of Benevolence]]", "[[Psychic Overload]]", "[[R-Genex Ultimum]]" or "[[The Transmigration Prophecy]]".
-** this combo is specially effective in a [[Gusto]] Deck, since they can return Tuner monsters to the deck easily, giving this card the chance of attacking at least two or even three times if possible.
-==Countering==
-* To Destroy this card, the best way is to use "[[Divine Wrath]]" in your deck, to ensure effectiveness be sure to add another copy of the same card.
-* Use "[[Skill Drain]]" to negate this card's effect and then use destruction cards.
-* This card's second and third effects makes it relatively hard to destroy this monster.
-** One option is to use 2 destruction cards, like "[[Smashing Ground]]", "[[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]]", "[[Raigeki Break]]" etc.), 1 [[Banish]] card (like "[[Karma Cut]]", "[[Caius the Shadow Monarch]]", etc.)
-** Another is to activate a card to return it to the Extra Deck. Cards like "[[Compulsory Evacuation Device]]", "[[Penguin Soldier]]", "[[Raiza the Storm Monarch]]", "[[Abyss Soldier]]", "[[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]" can complete this task.
-** Another is to activate a card that sends cards to the graveyard but does not destroy it, like "[[Crystal Abundance]]", "[[Dark End Dragon]]", "[[Codarus]]", etc.
+==List==
-* To counter this card effectively, use [[Counter Trap]]s. "Shooting Star Dragon" cannot activate its effect in chain because Counter Traps have a higher Spell Speed.
+* [[Level]] 2 [[Tuner Synchro Monster]]s that can be used with "[[Stardust Dragon]]" as Synchro Material for this card:
