Dark Armed Dragon Rant

Dark Armed Dragon(DAD)

I think he's one of the most over-hyped cards out there today. He is a level seven dark monster. You can remove one dark monster from your graveyard to destroy one card on the field. He cannot be normal summoned, he can only be special summoned if you have exactly three dark monsters in your graveyard. This harsh summoning condition is the problem that I have with the card. People are always debating which card is better: Judgment Dragon or Dark Armed Dragon. The way I see it, I don't think there is ever going to be a clear answer to that question. But, in my opinion, Judgment Dragon is a lot more broken than Dark Armed Dragon because of the fact that all you have to do is: mill four lightsworns to your graveyard, then you can summon a free 3000 ATK monster, blow up the field, and attack for 3000 direct. Whereas Dark Armed Dragon takes a lot more strategy than Judgment Dragon. If you draw him late game, he's useless most of the time. He requires you to be able to control your graveyard at all times so that there are three darks in it, which just isn't possible in most decks. From what I've seen: Dark Armed is allured away or becomes a dead card in hand. A lot of the time, people would rather have something like a: Smashing Ground, Mirror Force, or simply, a different monster. He is one of those cards that people have trouble letting go of. I say this because he is one of the most destructive cards of all time, and if you draw him early game. He may be able to annihilate a lot of cards and help you gain field advantage. But, the fact that this isn't possible every time you draw him is what makes me question the use. I took him out of my Blackwing deck because of all the dead draws he became. I decided there are better cards than him that could be put in place of him. You guys decide what you think of the card, I think it will see more useful play in the future. But for now, it should be taken out of most dark decks. If people tried it, they would see that there are better choices than Dark Armed Dragon.
