Pretty Fly for a...

Dragon Deck.

:3

What? I'm talking about "Delta Fly" of course!


This is another one of the finer inclusions in Duelist Revolution. Clocking in as Dragon Tuner with ATK low enough to be searched by "Masked Dragon," "Delta Fly" adds a bunch of utility to dragon-oriented decks that simply wasn't available until now.

To start off, it's one level higher than "Magna Drago," which already opens up a lot more Synchro options. On the other side of the spectrum, it lacks the restrictions that inhibit "Debris Dragon" from being optimal in dragon decks. On top of this, "Delta Fly" has the ability to increase the level of another monster you control once per turn!

"Delta Fly" can be combined with "Totem Dragon" in a pinch to make a level 5 or 6. In tandem with "Masked Dragon," "Delta Fly" makes a level 6 or 7, making for a semi-reliable way to play that "Exploder Dragonwing" that's been begging for action since its release. Alongside "Koaki Meiru Drago" or "Red-Eyes Wyvern," "Delta Fly" provides a level 7 or 8, which is killer; the deck has been aching for a solid way to make level 8 dragon Synchros for a long time. Previously, the only options to do so were the odd "Prime Material Dragon" + "Magna Drago" and "Debris Dragon" + "Totem Dragon" x2 plays which seldom showed themselves. For the laughs, "Delta Fly," much like "Debris Dragon," can team up with "Prime Material Dragon" to make "Trident Dragion."

Utility aside, it's also stronger than either "Magna Drago" or "Debris Dragon," so it's likely to be replacing both in dragon decks in the near future. The only reason to still include Debris would be the prospect of a 1-card 2500 beater.

"Delta Fly" probably won't be showing up in other decks, but it's still top-notch support for its type.
