SD9-ENDE1: Five-Headed Dragon or F.G.D. (Named probably correct)

This card is much more known as Five God Dragon or F.G.D. in Japan. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's gunna be the name, along with the id number. I kinda copied off of the secret Rare from exclusive booster version of Structure Deck 1 Dragon deck that had Armed Dragon LV7 as the promo. (That one was SD1-ENDE1 so....)

Anyway, this card have been begged to be released for AGES. Anyway, I hear this is coming out as an exlsive Booster for the upcoming Dinosaur Structure deck, and Victory Dragon coming out for Shounen Jump Mag. (I hear the next one after Magician's Valkyria is Toon DMG, so after that is probably Victory Dragon) So the old dusty Dragons are FINALLY getting some support and boost ever since the Horus LV series came out. I mean, Dragon-Types are a dying breed. The only ones you ever see these days is maybe Horus Lock decks and people splashing Twin-Headed Behemoth. Seriously, when both Victory Dragon and FGD are both released, expect people to randomly create Dragon decks just like Chimera decks that's popping out everywhere.

Five-Headed Dragon or F . G . D

Fusion / Effect

Dark / Dragon / Level 12

5000 ATK / 5000 DEF
5 Dragon-Type monsters

This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. This card does not receive battle damage from Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and Dark Type Monsters.

Now, this card have some good, bad, etc.

Let's see the good. And this thing have ALOT of good. First, the stat. It's 5000ATK and 5000DEF.... WTF!?! Did I read that correctly?! Yes, it's 5000ATK! It's even higher then that almightly Cyber End Dragon or even Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. It's currently gunna be the highest ATK stat monster in YGO world of USA. I mean, put Megamorph on it and it's a 10000ATK behemoth. The only thing that can do a higher LP damage then that these days is usually is a Cyber Twin Dragon with Limiter Removal for a 11200LP or a Chimeratech Overdragon. (Cyber Twin with megamorph won't be too good. I mean, the first attack will be a 5600LP direct damage, but after that, your foe will probably be weaker and thus the second attack, they'll take only 1400LP and thus it's only 7000LP damage total, i.e. not OTK game) Yes, that means it can be a OTK monster for game.

What else is good. The fusion sub is ANY 5 Dragon monsters, as long as those subs are all dragons. (Or Fusion substitute. It doesn't have a restriction on that. So you CAN throw in 4 Dragons and 1 fusion sub and summon this thing.) Those are the GOOD effect.

Now, let's see the bad. The effect. Why, the effect is that it cannot be destroyed as a result of battle of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Dark. Only Light Monsters can kill it. But come on... it's a freaking 5000ATK! Your NOT gunna be killing this as a result of battle unless you seriously pumped of your Light Monster with United We Stand, Megamorph, Limiter Removal, Mage Power, Rush Recklessly, and even Shrink on Five-Headed Dragon to make his stats weak. It's gunna die by a card effect 99% of the time. So just consider as a vanilla monster with no effect, but just a kickass beatstick of doom.

Now, let's talk about the goodness of this card that supports it. The support it gets that it's ANY 5 Dragons. Now, did we heard anything similar to this effect among fusion monsters of non-restrictive Fusion subs. That's right, Chimeratech Overdragon. And we KNOW that thing kicks ass. If Chimeratech is the fusion monster bomb of Machines for Future Fusion and Overload fusion, this can be said with Dragon Monsters with Future Fusions and Dragon's Mirror.

People have been TRYING to make a Dragon deck that's NOT a Horus lock or just 1 random Twin-Headed Behemoth. They tried to make a BEWD deck or Armed Dragon Deck. And they have stuff like Lord of D, some fusion subs, and have Dragon's Mirror and Future Fusion to hopefully get Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon or King Dragun out. They can try to get Blue-Eyes Ultimate out, and then Dimension Fusion to get the rest of the 3 BEWD out, etc. But it's TOO HARD. King Dragon and BEUD both have exact required Fusion Sub. Yes, you CAN substitute them for something, else, but still, it's hard work. (Not to mention, the other ones have to be correct) And Blue-Eyes can be dead cards alot of times, King Dragun is annoying to get out unless you Stein it, And Armed Dragon is just not as powerful as Horus.

Now with Five-Headed Dragon. You activate Future Fusion, and say you dump alll 3x BEWD, one random fusion sub, and another random dragon. Then you can Dragon Mirror, oh say King Dragun by using that Fusion Sub and Lord of D. in your hand. With Five-Headed Dragon AND King Dragun on the field... yeah, SCARY business. And heck, you can use another Dragon's Mirror for the 3x BEWD for BEUD for the heck of it too. Without Five-Headed Dragon, you can't do this cause it have to be specific. Like Future Fusion the exact 3x BEWD and then Dragon's Mirror the other exactly BEWD for 2x BEUD or something. But with Five-Headed Dragon, the possiblities are endless.

And you DON'T have to use Blue-Eyes for Five-Headed Dragon. The BEST ones are Masked Dragon and Troop Dragon. Masked Dragon is pretty much the Dragon Recuiters like Tomatos, Rats. The only thing why Masked Dragon was overshadowed was the fact that the only decent Dragons to pull out is Armed Dragon LV3 or Twin-Headed Behemoth. But now, those Masked Dragon can fuel your graveyard with 5 Dragons you need for Dragon's Mirror. Similar thing with Troop Dragon although Troop Dragon can only pull out another Troop Dragon. And just like Chimeratech, you can mill your deck with Merchants and hopefully dump alot of Dragons and draw into Dragon's Mirror.

And there's one more thing about Masked Dragon and Troop Dragon. There's no restriction of the position of the monster when special summoned. Rats, Tomatos, Shining, etc. HAVE to special summon the monster in face-up ATK position. Masked Dragon and Troop Dragon are like Pyramid Turtle, you can special summon your monsters in face-up Defense Position. So that your weak dragon or another Troop Dragon can be summoned without taking LP hits against Asura Priest or Hydrogeddon or something.

However, this card isn't godly. This card can ONLY be fusion summoned. So unlike Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, even if you properly fusion summoned, it's a dead nomi in the graveyard. Also, this card cannot be used for Metamorphosis, (heh... it's a level 12... hardly any monster you can Metamorphosis unless you stolen a BEUD or another FGD) or Cyber-Stein. (So no, don't replace your BEUD in your "one random Stein" deck.)

Another Random Note. I'm hearing that Dragon Master Knight is also gunna be released soon. That's a Fusion Monster of Black Luster Soldier and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon... (Yeah, like your gunna fusion summon with those two subs...) But it's another 5000ATK behemoth and it gains 500ATK for each Dragon in the field. (BTW, it's a Light, and a Dragon, so it should count itself and start with 5500ATK points. and luckly, it can be summoned with a substitute, but still, that's hard since both of the fusion subs are insane to pull off.) Yeah, there's ANOTHER dragon that you people can cheer about. It seems the end of 2006 is the time of Dragons for USA.



My final rating, I give it a

7.5 out of 10.

It's not Chimeratech, (I mean, Chimeratech can go like 8000+ATK in one shot and can attack multiple monsters) but a pretty darn close one. But unlike Chimeratech, you DON'T need to trash like 10x Machines to make the monster powerful. And it's a MUCH MUCH needed support of a dying breed known as Dragons. Kaiba is crying in the corner for the poor USA and he finally thought to give us the light by giving some good Dragon support. When this and Victory Dragon comes out, go out there and become Kaiba and try to beat that DEM Yugi and his hack drawing skills with your Dragons!
 
Oh but think of it this way... no matter the ATK, Chimeratech Overdragon cannot kill F.G.D. (Yeah I know, in most cases F.G.D. would meet his end via Exiled Force or Zaborg like most monsters, but just saying if both hit the field and battled, this thing would laugh at the machine. Likewise, he can laugh at Amazoness Swords Woman too since she's an Earth-type and as such that would be the Battle Damage type).

Actually, this is BAD. Why? Think of ATK position Spirit Reaper vs Chimeratech. If the monster doesn't die, Chimeratech can attack that SAME monster multiple times depending on how many Machines you used for Fusion Summon. And you usually get 10x+ Machines to fusion summon your Chimera. So lets say the Chimeratech is 8000ATK with 10x Machine Fusion sub. So even if your 8000ATK Chimera can't "kill" your FGD, it can attack that same monster 10 freaking times and you'll lose by 8000-5000 = 3000x10=30,000LP damage loss.

Oh yeah, there's one more support for FGD. Dragon's Rage. Since FGD is a Dragon, not to mention a FGD deck is gunna be packing with Dragons, might as well run 1x of that. I mean, a 5000ATK monster with a pierce effect is just freaking scary. I mean, we all know how evil Cyber End Dragon is right.
 
...Actually F.G.D. is not that great the only good thing is it´s attack the effect is practically useless, how many monsters has 5000Atk or more?...none, they have to be affected by other cards so they can got that amount of attack plus it can be pwned by a "Man Eater Bug" XD, I´ll give it 5-6/10, this is only for Collectors...

F.G.D. receives no battle damage from anything but a LIGHT monster. Chimeratech can attack all he wants, he's not gonna hurt him.

Yes...Chimeratech can "destroy" F.G.D. If it has 5600ATK...Guess What? That's 4200 Damage Overflow since F.G.D cannot be destroyed as a result of battle. Attack his arse 7 times. The more ATK and Attacks per Turn Chimeratech has the more deadlier he is to F.G.D.

Yes Chimera is not gonna hurt F.G.D. but is gonna hurt the Owner of F.G.D.
 
Okay, I see what the confusion is. And to be honest, I'm not sure if F.G.D. negates any battle LP damage as well. If it DOES, then Chimera attacking it repeatedly won't matter, but if LP damage can go through, then it's bad.

So, is F.G.D. just cannot be destroyed as a result of battle with exception of Light, or does it not even recieve battle damage as well like Waboku effect? (Whoever knows alot of OCG cards please answer)
 
If it doesn't recieve Battle Damage, as the texts I've seen all seem to indicate, then he cannot be destroyed by battle. it may not be being translated the way they normaly would do so. I'd be curious to see how they finally word it.

Is it true that you can use DRAGON'S HAND MIRROR to get out F.G.D.?

It is true. Dragon's Mirror is a Fusion Summon card, and a powerful one at that.
 
It's pretty much the ONLY WAY to get F.G.D. out. Poly is gunna be almost impossible cause you need five Dragons on field or hand... that's ALOT of cards. So your only option is just Dragon's Mirror, since F.G.D. needs to be properly fusion summoned. Oh yeah, that and Future Fusion.

We'll wait of how the USA will word the card. (i.e. does to take battle damage or not. i.e. will Chimeratech "kill" F.G.D. by LP bombard or will it be a stalemate.)

According to this guy, this is the exact text.

Five-Headed Dragon

DARK Level 12 ATK 5000 DEF 5000

Dragon / Fusion / Effect

The Fusion Material Monsters for this card are any 5 Dragon-Type monsters. This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. This card does not take any Battle Damage (so it cannot be destroyed) when battling an EARTH, WATER, FIRE, WIND, or DARK monster. (Battle Damage is still inflicted to players.)

Meaning, the player still take damage so Chimera will run over that FGD once it's ATK is higher then 5000+.

 
Does anyone have a link to the actual Japanese version of this text? I would like to babblefish it just get a look a it myself.

That just doesn't sound right to me. I don't think it's worded like that, simply because it's not the same style as cards are generally worded. The last two sentences can be summed up much better as:

"This card is not destroyed by battle when it battles an [Attributes here] monster."
 
Btw, regarding Chimeratech vs. FGD

I never said the FGD was in attack position... yeah that's it.

Guess this means that you'd still take the damage if you run into Amazoness Swords Woman. Darn.
 
It is straight forward and surprising easy to get out.
Future Fusion, Polymerization and Dragon's Mirror all fusion summon Five-Headed Dragon.
The 5 Dragons must be Dragon Types, so you cannot use a substitute, like King of the Swamp, or a Hex-Sealed Fusion.
Five-Headed Dragon takes no battle damage from any monster other than a Light-Attribute. Therefore Chimeratech Overdragon and even a Cyber Dark Dragon equipped with Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon will do no damage in Battle.
A Cyber End with Limiter Removal will. Blue-Eyes White Dragon with Megamorph if life points are lower will kill it.
The Key to Five-Headed Dragons survival is King Dragun. with these 2 on the field you cannot target either. Mirror Force is the threat as is Torrential Tribute and Lightning Vortex. Stamping Destruction can fix Mirror Force and Torrential Tribute and my Body as a Shield can save your dragon bacon.

The dragon's have returned, prepare for the Reign of Fire!!!

Thats the text i found. No rulings as of yet.

I agree with the quote.

So if you attack it, your gonna take damage if you too weak or your opponent will if your attacking with a strong monster.

I dont think the effect should ever come into play. If i were to bring something this big out, it would be to win. This card seems to hard to bring out though. I would rather demise, metamorph and megamorph for a CyberTwin FTW. I wouldnt risk having 5 dragons (which isnt all that easy) to sacrafice to be hit by nearly any magic/trap card that destroys monsters.

Fissure would kill it!

Yes, but Dragon's Mirror is a great card. It's even a bonus if you have Return from the Different Dimension ready. Get a Mirage Dragon in the mix, and you're laughing.

Yes, it doesn't have any kind of immunity (except being destroyed by battle), mainly because it's an old monster and they didn't have immunities like that. Of course, it makes up for that by being a 5000 ATK/DEF monster that can actually be quite easy to get out in a Dragon Deck. Isn't that enough?

Plus, if your opponent does have a chance to destroy it with a Spell/Trap Card, they're destroying it and not another monster you want to keep instead (I don't know what).
