Fusilier Dragon, the Dual Mode Beast RDS-EN031

Here's a card whose potential was greatly overlooked by most when the set list for "Rise of Destiny" was originally released, but whose comboability makes him a very powerful monster. He's a 7 Star, 2800/2000 creature. Not that bad for only a 7 Star, though 2 tributes can hurt if you normal summon him that way. His effect however lets you normal summon him without any tribute, though he becomes a 1400/1000 creature. Ok, that could hurt on it's own but let's see how to make this no tribute side of him a complete powerhouse:

Book of Moon: the effect disappears, you have a 2000 defender or after he's flipped back to attack position, a free 2800.

Skill Drain: normal summon him, his effect is negated so he stays 2800/2000

Megamorph: depending on your life points, he'll be no worse than the 1400 he'd be otherwise or a nasty 5600

Metamorphosis: Change him into "St. Joan", "Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon" (both 2800 attackers) or "The Last Warrior from Another Planet" (for some "Last Turn" love).

"Fusilier Dragon" will likely find a home in many deck types because of his flexibility as well as the ease in which you can get a no tribute 2800 beatstick on the field.

A great card with a lot of combos to make it one powerful beat stick. fusilier dragon is probably one of the best rares to get in RDS. I was even thinking of making a skill drain deck with fusilier dragon as the center piece. My friend already did when it first came out and it did very good in the tournament. I like the combo when then are attacking it with a 1900 ATK beatstick when fusilier is at 1400 ATK. All you do is when they declare the attack use book of moon to turn fusilier dragon F/D then since the amount of monsters hasnt changed there attack goes through and they run into a 2000 defender. It also has a cool picture and it looks even cooler as an ultimate rare.
 
If I'm not mistaken, Fusiler Dragon is the strongest Machine Monster without summoning difficulty. (Attack points by it self)
And it's the strongest 7 Stars monster that can be Tribute Summoned. ^^ (I checked)
Heck, I'll use "Tribute Doll" to bring him out if I wanted to.
 
great card. when i first heard of him, i knew he would have some comboes based on him. people have already made him a gamewinner by jacking him with megamorph and limiter r. they sorta messed his pic up (screw censorship, they did it with don zaloog too). he can fit into most machine decks and comboes well with lightening the load and can be used with skill drain also.
 
I absolutely love this card, and I will almost certainly feature it in my future Machine deck, so look out for that, lol.

This card has a cool name, great artwork, and its effect and combinations allow it to lay down the smackdown on your opponent in a brutal Machine onslaught, lol.

It was this card in fact which gave me the inspiration for a card which I made up myself, and which I have posted on this forum, Artiliris the All-Terrain Artillery Dragon.

He's tied for the strongest 7 Star Tribute Summon overall: "Guardian Angel Joan" being the other.

I love this card.

I dont have any Book of Moons, and I frown upon using Megamorph but I'd enjoy playing him as a 1400 attacker, ram him in and kill him and play Call of the Haunted on him :D of course it can always backfire -_-

Either way, this card is one of my favs and if I see a Machine deck without one of this, I'll laugh.
 
OK... This guy is great, especially if you are running Skill Drain and Megamorph. I am running a deck or this sort right now, and I just inserted "Shooting Star Bow - Ceal" I actually got My megamorph on it and the Shooting Star Bow - Ceal at the Same time ... a direct 4600 for game is what it was... even so, a direct 1800 is nothing to scoff at either...

I totally dig this monster, very versatile and in the right deck resistence is Futile. 4.3 / 5
 
The duel mode BEAST

This was one of my favorite cards from Rise of Destiny, its easy to over look him in this set and go for the Holo's and easily just shuffle this guy into the Normal Rare Pile/tin/box and forget about him. He is easily one of the most versatile cards in Rise of Destiny and can find a home in many decks, Metamorphosis Control, Skill Drain, Machine, Machine Duplication Decks, and Megamorph decks (still one to see this one eventually.)

He's Dark, Machine 7 Stars and he can be summoned outside tributing two monsters and special summoning him from RFG and the Graveyard. If you have some spare cards, I would recommend trying this guy out. He is a force to be reckoned with.

Fusilier states on the card that if you chose to summon it without tributing you half it's ORIGINAL attack...

Megamorph doubles/halves the original attack, which is made into 1400...

I thought that this card was the exeption to the rule "original att/def is always the att/def printed on the card"

am I wrong?
 
As I mentioned in the review for Great Maju Garzett, Fusilier and Great Maju Garzett has the potential to be a slap up side the head :)

We've mentioned Book of Moon in conjunction with Fusilier the Dual-Mode Beast but we often forget another card that turns a monster into face down defense postion......Magical Hats.

If you play Magician of Faith, Penguin Soldier, or any number of other flip effect monsters Magical Hats can be a real blessing. If you throw Ultimate Offering into the mix then you can flip Fusilier face down, then since the number of monsters on your side of the field has changed it causes a replay. Now you can respond to your opponent's attack again (if they decide to attack again) or before the sudo-monsters from Magical Hats are destroyed, activate Ultimate Offering and offer one or both of the sudo-monsters from Magical Hats as tributes.

Yes, I know, who plays with enough tribute monsters that they'd even consider this combo? <laffin> I do sometimes! Haven't you ever made a "Big Boys" deck where you're trying to get away with summoning as many strong arm monsters as you can?
 
my favorite rare

This card has far surpassed my other favorite rares like Nimbles, Magic Drains, etc. I made a deck based on this card immediately, and won a tourney that weekend with my Fusilier Skill Drain deck...it's a Killer...play some Cold Waves and Xing Zhen Hus.....untouchable.

It is always what's printed on the card. By fusiliers effect: One halfs the original attack to get the new attack. One does Not cut the original attack itself in half.

They should re-word this... I personally think that Fulsilier is too powerful if I'm wrong...
