Card Tips:Stardust Dragon

• You can use Intrigue Shield to make this card invincible, but still vulnerable to restraining cards like Shadow Spell
• To Summon this monster in one turn, use the effects of "Cyber Dragon", "Oracle of the Sun", "Vice Dragon" or "The Tricky" to Special Summon themselves, then Normal Summon a Level 3 Tuner monster.

• Normal Summon "Junk Synchron" and Special Summon a Level 2 monster. Synchro Summon "X-Saber Wayne" and Special Summon a Level 3 Warrior-Type from your hand, e.g. "Tune Warrior" or "Junk Synchron".

• Remember that if this card was Special Summoned by "Starlight Road", it will not be able to use its effect to Special Summon itself after it Tributes itself to negate an effect. This card must first be Synchro Summoned properly before it can be Special Summoned by any card effect.

• This card is a prime target for "Mind Control" or "Enemy Controller". Before it returned to your opponent's side, Summon a Level 2 Dragon-Type Tuner (for example, "Dread Dragon") and tune them both to Synchro Summon "Trident Dragion".

• You can use "Dragon's Rage" to almost ensure that you can deal damage each turn without hesitating to attack because of its revival effect.

• "Necrovalley" can protect this card, since it doesn't target cards it won't be affected by the effect of "Necrovalley"; "Necrovalley" can protect it in the Graveyard since cards in the Graveyard cannot be targeted or banished.

• This card works well with "Wave-Motion Cannon", since it can prevent it from being destroyed, thus giving you a better chance of it surviving 8 turns.

• For a Limited-Type Deck (namely a Dragon-Type Deck) "Prime Material Dragon" and "Magna Drago" are good cards to Synchro Summon this card (and also "Red Dragon Archfiend"). Make sure that you Summon "Prime Material Dragon" first while having some cards on hand to protect your monsters for a guaranteed Synchro Summon.
  • You can also use "Dread Dragon" as the replacement of "Magna Drago" if you want better Deck-searching options.

• Use with "Silver Wing" to make this card almost invincible.
  • Remember that if you Tribute this card for its effect, "Silver Wing" will be destroyed.

• You can also use "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" to revive this card in case it was destroyed by battle.

• Use in conjunction with the Horus Lockdown to protect "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" and "Royal Decree"/"Jinzo" from being destroyed by effects.

• Another 2 card combo for Summoning this card uses "Trident Warrior" and "Delta Flyer". Normal Summon "Trident Warrior" to Special Summon the "Delta Flyer". Then, use "Delta Flyer" effect to raise "Trident Warrior's" Level by 1.
  • Instead of "Trident Warrior", "Goblindbergh" is another option. Just use its effect to Special Summon a Level 4 Tuner, or "Delta Flyer" again.

• This card works well with "Tytannial, Princess of Camellias" in protecting your monsters from your opponent's Spells, Traps and Monster effects. This is because many threatening cards that are capable of stopping this card e.g. "Dimensional Prison", "Mind Control" and "Chaos Sorcerer", which "Tytannial" will protect you from. This allows you protection from many of the most common Spells and Traps. With an additional "Gigaplant" to keep reloading Tributes, it will be very difficult for your opponent to make a comeback.

• In an "Elemental HERO" Deck the fastest way to Synchro Summon this is using "Elemental HERO Mariner" and a Level 3 monster such as "Comrade Swordsman of Landstar".

• Against this card, use monsters such as "Codarus", "Darklord Desire", "Rasetsu", "Dimensional Prison" or "Abyss Soldier", to return this card to the Extra Deck or, banish it send it to the Graveyard without triggering its effect.

• After your opponent uses the effect of this card, you can use cards such as "D.D. Crow", "Evigishki Mind Augus", "Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Cardinal" or "Soul Release" to take it off from the Graveyard, preventing it from returning to the field during the End Phase.

Traditional Format

• Use "Card of Safe Return" with this card, so every time it revives itself after preventing destruction, you get to draw an extra card.
