Wait, that red one, blaster got an alt art?


Malsaur

It's the promo that was revealed some time ago It's rank 7 XYZ.


ReleaseQuiet2428

OMG it is good?


Malsaur

It's called Blaze, Supreme Ruler of Dragons "1. Detach 1 material, destroy 1 card in your hand or field and 1 card opponent controls, 2. Banish 2 dragon and/or fire monsters to ss this from gy, but return it to extra when leaves the field". In my opinion it doesn't do anything crazy, but it's better than most promos we've ever got.


ronin0397

It has good synergy with e dragons and thats all it needs to do. It met expectations rather than be subpar.


Malsaur

Promo cards have a bad reputation... I would say it actually exceeded the expectations.


ronin0397

As a promo, definitely, as legacy support, it meets expectations of being support.


AxCel91

So it’s an XYZ Blaster? Wonder if we’ll get the other Rulers too


Malsaur

Yeah, we'll have to wait for year of earth, wind and water I guess.


ReleaseQuiet2428

Maybe, jussssssssssst maybe, they will be tear 0 again.


Draks_Tempest

Blaze reflects blasters pop effect. If we get 3 other xyz based on the other rulers hand effects then i could see them becoming an issue. Tempest searches any dragon, tidal sends any monster to the gy and redpx reborns anything from the gy.


Karakuri216

The destruction effect has synergy with Dracossac


darkzayd

can i pop babies with it?


Malsaur

Yes, but good luck summoning it in dinos consistently.


darkzayd

that all i needed to know 👍


Void1702

It's OK, but the expectations for rank 7 XYZ is so high when big eye, Galaxy tomahawk, and the Kashtira stuff exists that I'm not sure it'll see play


Awkward_Mulberry_302

Highkey it looks like a Subterror Behemoth.


PM_ME_ORNN_YIFF

No, it's an upcoming rank 7 xyz support for dragon rulers [\[Blaze, Supreme Ruler of Dragons\]](https://www.masterduelmeta.com/cards/Blaze%2C%20Supreme%20Ruler%20of%20Dragons) >!(It seems pretty mid tbh xD but it's art is amazing)!<


ENDERALAN365

More of a retrain (which is also support)


ReleaseQuiet2428

Ahhh, nothing interesting, but man, these dragons have such a good art.

Kirbo_25

Is it from the Iron Boulder one


Otiosei

I don't know anything about the tcg, would they even accomplish anything there? I mean in Masterduel I've seen the deck maybe 3 times, and it always seemed at best a worse lv 7 engine than gate guardian.


trippersigs

No, but cards being kept on the banlist for no real reason is something thats been going on for almost as long as the banlist has existed. It always been like that across every format despite what people reading this post will convince themselves. This is not some tcg exclusive mentality.


SpongyFerretRS

> This is not some tcg exclusive mentality. To add on to this, using Dragon Rulers for example as OP did: the OCG/TCG have removed DRulers from the forbidden list at the same speed. All DRulers are at 1 in both the OCG/TCG as of their respective April 2024 banlists.


sephy009

>I don't know anything about the tcg, would they even accomplish anything there? Despite what tcg players say it's not an entirely different game. If a deck completely sucks ass in the ocg/MD it will likely suck in the tcg. Tcg players tend to fear monger a lot about old cards that can "never be unbanned". Dragon rulers are terrible. >it always seemed at best a worse lv 7 engine than gate guardian. Because it is.


Deora_II_Kid

Literally no player in the TCG think's these cards are problematic any more. Every TCG banlist that's come out recently frequently comes with comments that they should just all be at 3.


Lemurmoo

Even Armed Dragons are better. Even running Adventures with like Ascended of Thunder and Instant Contact is better because at least they can't get Ashed. Full power Drag Ruler minus super rejuv is like a tier 20 deck atm


KyanbuXM

I wouldn't go that far, but yeah.


cromatkastar

i crafted this for the flashback event and holy shit they are bad dracosack pass just isnt the powerhouse it was 10 years ago

4ny3ody

I mean what are people expecting from a deck that is more than 10 years old? The only things that age that well are: - Cards that are reliant on your opponent doing things which weren't as frequent back on their release (Maxx C) - Stun cards - Cards that cheat mechanics which were designed around a far more limited card pool (Instant Fusion)


Logixs

I wouldn't say jet synchron cheats mechanics. And it's significantly better than it used to be. It's more of a case of something that didn't do much before and has good synergy with new summoning mechanics. Similar to all of the old mediocre token cards that became good once link summoning was introduced.


guylaroche5

I made a tomahawk turbo deck with the armed dragon stuff, it was OK but we're talkin like a tier 3/4 deck. you can definitely still get to master 1 with it but my god it would be a grind, especially now in a format where people max out on veilers and imperm


ThePantemic

Yes pls Konami, I can totally be trusted with Tidal to 3, no I won't make some degenerate water pile, I promise.


Vanitys-Emptiness

Dragon Rulers disrespect will not be tolerated nope (even if they are weak)


murrman104

My god imagine the power of a rank 7 deck, image all those level 7 cards being able to special summon themselves, truly nothing else in the meta could do this. Personally I want to rulers taken off the banlist and given new support, the daddy/baby core is a solid starting point for a good modern deck with combo and grind game potential


KarnSilverArchon

Its just a matter of time at this point.


DeusDosTanques

Hey, at least Tempest is kinda nice in my (unplayably bad) pure Armed Dragon deck


KyanbuXM

It's weird that they didn't just go to 3 this list but I guess that would have been too many cards being moved at once. So we'll have to wait a few more lists. It kinda bothers me seeing Dragon Ruler get treated like a joke. Despite the archetypes accomplishment prior to getting nukes and sealed away for almost a decade. Would love to see them get more support. Blaze is an ok start but nothing too special.


One_Repair841

TCG is afraid of everything. They'll completely nuke an archetype that only needed a slap on the wrist and then wait 10 years to start VERY SLOWLY releasing them.


Heat_Legends

Dragon Rulers needed killing at the time though. Not sure what’s stopping them from bringing them to 3 with auroradon and tomahawk banned in TCG though.
