AKUSERU SHINKUROOOOOOO!!!

Shooting Star Dragon

Level 10/WIND
Dragon/Synchro/Effect

1 Synchro Tuner + "Stardust Dragon"

Each of the following effects can be used once per turn:

• Pick up the top 5 cards of your Deck. During the Battle Phase of this turn, this card can attack a number of times equal to the number of Tuners that were picked up. Then, return the picked up cards to your Deck.
• You can negate the activation of a Spell Card, Trap Card, or Effect Monster's effect that destroys a card(s) on the field, and destroy that card.
• When a monster your opponent controls declares an attack, you can remove from play this card to negate that attack. During the End Phase, Special Summon this card if it was removed from play by this effect.

ATK/3300 DEF/2500

Now that it's been confirmed, I'm trippin' balls. Okay, not really.

The first effect allows Shooting Star to attack up to five times if you reveal the nuts, which is cool, but if you activate it and reveal zero, it can't attack at all. You have to reveal at least 2 for it to matter. Feelin' lucky, punk?

Second effect is a rehash of Stardust's that doesn't require tributing itself. That seems pretty nice, but Stardust protects itself by doing that. Shooting Star leaves itself open by sticking around.

Negating an attack is okay.

So yeah, I can't see him going very far yet, BUT...

Formula Synchron
Level 2/LIGHT
Machine/Synchro/Tuner

1 Tuner + 1 non-Tuner monster

When this card is Synchro Summoned, you can draw 1 card. During your opponent's Main Phase, you can Synchro Summon if you use this face-up card as a Synchro Material Monster.


ATK/200 DEF/1500

This guy is hilarious. Well, I guess it depends on how it's ruled. If this effect is a Quick Effect, there are a lot of shenanigans to be had. If it's Continuous, you can only use it when you happen to have general priority during your opponent's Main Phase, making it totally useless. It could logically be either one of these things.

Can you imagine Synchroing Black Rose on your opponent's turn, though? Trishula? That's madness.

The trouble is actually summoning this guy, but you can readily do it with any level 1 tuner + a fluff or sheep token, which would probably be the preferred method... he refunds the extra card, though, so it's cool.

IN MUCH MORE RELEVANT NEWS:

Tuning
Normal Spell Card
Add 1 "Synchron" {Tuner} monster from your Deck to your hand and shuffle your Deck. Then, send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard.


Oh... my... gawd. That 1-shot plot hax card from 80 episodes ago that everyone was crying for is finally slated for release?! I am ecstatic! Yusei-inspired decks suddenly become viable... or in the case of Quickdraw, better than they already were.

I heart you, Starstrike Blast.
