I just amazed myself for Dark crusader. that card, can pump itself up on ATK as long as you got cards to discard! unbelievable! main phase one: you got mobius up front? no probs, I just summon my dark crusader, discard 3 cards, pump himup to 2800 and your mobius is history. you set your card next turn. my turn again, I can discard another dark card to boost him to 3100 again, and the madness kees just going and going if you got morphing jar on your hand.

I SAY this guy´s effect gets RESET at the end of the turn (just like any other triger guy!) and if he´s common, I´ll relate it to snipe hunter on CDIP. but then again...WHY UDE WHY????

NEXT ONE IS "PRIME MATERIAL DRAGON"
Whzup with dat? the card says: WHENEVER A CARD would destroy a monster(s) on your side of the field, you can discard one card to negate and destroy that card´s effect. G-bye sakuretsu, mirror force, even HECK! bottomless anyone??! (/bottomless says: destroy a normal or special summon a monster of 1500 atk and up and THEN remove it from game) it´s the new pipeline to RFDD. dude...it´s not even funny..

Decks are going to turn entirely macrocosmos-merchant to get the cards they need. it´s easy as pie: fill the g-yard with 30 monsters and 10 magic cards. (I won´t say which) and your opponent is done.

It´s getting crazy. no wonder people quit.

I mean I´ve been waiting for legendary fiend say what? 4 o r 5 years now? sheeshhh!!! at least it´s so good to see new artwork here in america.

my 2 cents.

You can send 1 DARK monster from your hand to the Graveyard to have this card gain 400 ATK.

Who in their right mind would want to waste 3 DARK monsters cards for a monster to get rammed into a Sak Armor, Mirror Force, Enemy Controller, etc, etc, etc. Unless playing Necrofear or some sort of grave involved deck... even if it where any 3 cards.

Why not??? There are far, far, far, far, FAR more amazingly better monsters.
Though Prime MD, is a very good card IMPO, it's still easily removed, I mean what's it got against Raiza?

Prime Material Dragon is certainly a good monster, but Dark Crusader isn't anything spectacular at all. A measly 400 ATK boost is NOT worth the -1 you have to perform.

It is if you can make it into a plus, i.e. Destiny hero Disc Commander/Malicious/Dasher. Or if you're building for DAD, Dark Necrofear or Dark Creator. It's also a good use to get cards like Necro Gardna in the graveyard.
