From the Netrep Card Regstry:

Card Name: Dark Driceratops
Card Type: Effect Monster
Monster Type: Dinosaur
Attribute: EARTH
Level: 6
Attack: 2400
Defense: 1500
Card Text:
When this card attacks with an ATK that is higher than the DEF of your opponent's Defense Position monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points.

Truely this is a powerful tribute card. It's an Obvious must for Trample Decks (a more popular advanced format theme). It can also fit into Earth Decks well being 2400 atk, which is average for most played tributes today. It can break defense monsters that normally Airknight can't kill such as Gear Golem or Charcoal Impachi. This hasn't seen much play and I've been curious why. Any aggresive beatdown would love this card along with any deck that could fit one in. If not, it can be a great side deck card, after finding out that your opponent plays alot of high defense monsters. Overall a great card.

I remember the main use of dinosuares, As said by Rex Rapter, Dinos are power-houses of pure strength in monsters, they are all about brute strength and power. Perfect for beatdowns, and boy have we been spoiled with dino cards, there are less than 15 dino cards in the entire game! Each one weak and pointless, but this guy offers promice! Prehaps if UDE realise the lack of dinos we may see some more, but till then there are so many better monster types out there! This thing is great for trample, and relates to it's point but there are many trample cards out there! what makes this guy any more special?
 
true there are few good dinos and it would be great if they made more. this is definitly the best,follwed by hyper hammer head, and then gilasaurus. black tyranno was never that great, too weak with a dumb effect. If Konami made dinos focus on trample and sending cards back to the hand, they would be alot better
 
This card is used in most trample deck around my region. It wouldn't be too bad if you add this into your Chaos deck if you can't get an Airknight or Hellish General. This"petrodactyl" has the same stats as Jinzo, if it has a anti-single-target-trap ability. It would be very good.
 
I run a trample deck in advanced, and i can't fit more than one fo these in. Its nice to have a 2900 attacker on the field (with gaia power) that damages everything.. but in reality i will do more damage from drawing an Extra card with Airknight Parshath... Enraged Battle Ox tramples at 2200 with Gaia power which will overrun everything except for Big Shield Gardna .. but even the big shield will be Killed by anything in my deck the next attack.

Its a nice card to have... but it has to be side-decked out often.
 
well i do put 1 in my beatdown for the only trample *heh* but well, its good but not a great card that i'll put 2-3 of
 
Beautiful card, especially against your opponent's monster tokens. :evil: Before I stopped running Dark Driceratops, next to Jinzo, this card filled up the second tribute slot. If there was a 2nd effect, with the trample, I'd run it more.

Tell me about it :( Someone hit my scapegoats pretty hard with this guy
 
This card is awesome, and even more fun with "Ballista of Rampart Smashing" for those set monsters. ^^
 
Quite a cool card. One the best reason to have a dino deck. Trample the opponent or send back to his hand with Hammerhead dino (forget his name). And its quite easy to get out on the field with Gilasaurus effect. SP Gilasaurus and tribute summon this guy. I only wish they created the trap card Rex used against Joey in the Orichalcos saga to negate traps targeting dinos.

Interesting artwork. Looks like its eating one of those snake plants.
