Forum:Did I waste my money buying an Orient Dragon at this point?

Last month I bought an Orient Dragon (paid $25), but now, it seems like it is a useless card. Did I waste my money or should I still keep it in my Extra Deck?

Yes. Yes you did. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 15:52, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

God dammit!!!

Oh wait, my mistake, I only spent $16 on it, it was Brio I spent $25 on. Still sucks nonetheless.

At least give it a chance to become useful, like when you opponent get Stardust Dragon on the field which you have full of destruction power hands; Summon dat Chinese dragon and watch him swallowed Stardust Dragon like a rat through Snake's mouth. --FredCat 16:41, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

I think the point Fred, is that since Synchroes have almost left the meta, OD might not be worth buying. Since you won't need it.--Helix-king (talk • contribs) 16:46, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Theres cards that can summon banished monsters like Return from the Different Dimension. So if you play cards like that Orient Dragon isn't much of a problem. However brionac bounces synchro monsters back to the extra deck where they cannot be resummoned. I think brionac is more effective against Special Summon-only monster. But against Nomi monsters I think orient dragon is better.

I know that ZEXAL changed the game - but I still playing few Synchro Monsters - look at Tele-DAD, it just revived back to living with two Emergency Teleport and many good support added to it. So don't be regret if you don't get Orient Dragon in the Deck once your opponent summoned super-broken Synchro Monster, like Stardust Dragon or Red Dragon Archfiend that can break your stuff apart. --FredCat 18:20, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Synchros are less and less useful lately. Also often the decks that use them will get multiple out, fast. So Orient is not as good (and here I was so happy that I pulled one.) So either sell it fast and try to break even, or keep it since Stardust/Brio are still an issue (and still shouldn't be going anywhere.) Naturia Beast and Naturia Barkion should still be around, along with Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En. So you could still get use out of OD. Djjomon (talk • contribs) 18:23, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Orient is still usable. However, I definitely would not pay 16 dollars for it at this point. I'd pay 10 max. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 19:07, April 5, 2012 (UTC)
