Berserk Dragon
Effect Monster (Zombie / DARK / 8 Stars / ATK 3500 / DEF 0)
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "A Deal with Dark Ruler". This card can attack all monsters on your opponent's side of the field once each. Decrease the ATK of this card by 500 points during the End Phase of each of your turns.
"¢ "Berserk Dragon" cannot be Normal Summoned or Set, and cannot be Special Summoned EXCEPT by the effect of "A Deal with Dark Ruler". So "Berserk Dragon" cannot be Special Summoned with "Monster Reborn", etc., even if Special Summoned properly first.
"¢ If "Berserk Dragon" is removed from play with "Interdimension Matter Transporter", you cannot try to resolve "Berserk Dragon"'s effect before it returns to play; you must return it to play first and then it loses 500 ATK.
"¢ While "Skill Drain" is active, "Berserk Dragon"'s effects are negated. But "Berserk Dragon"'s effect doesn't count turns, so if "Skill Drain" was active for 4 turns, and is then destroyed, do not reduce "Berserk Dragon"'s ATK for those 4 turns.
"¢ [Re: A Deal with Dark Ruler] You can only Special Summon 1 monster with "A Deal with Dark Ruler", but you can activate 2 copies of "A Deal with Dark Ruler" to Special Summon 1 "Berserk Dragon" for each, even if only 1 Level 8 or higher monster was sent to the Graveyard.
"¢ [Re: Skill Drain] When a monster's ATK or DEF are changed by its own effect, like "Slate Warrior" or "Berserk Dragon", and "Skill Drain" is activated, that monster's effect is negated and the ATK/DEF are returned to normal. Even if "Skill Drain" is then destroyed, the old adjustment to ATK/DEF does not come back. Any bonuses or penalties are lost when "Skill Drain" effect is applied, and you have to start over from the beginning.
Alright, the underappreciated terror that is Berserk Dragon. We begin Nomi week with a card that I honestly like a lot.
This card obvious comboes with A Deal with Dark Ruler, because otherwise, you can't summon it. However, I love how this card comboes with Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys. You want the Phoenix to die, so it will be easy and not very costly to summon Berserk Dragon. It also comboes well with Meteorain since it will attack every monster, and with 3500 ATK, that will definately hurt.
This card has some good stuff going for it. First off, it's Dark, so Chaos likes it. Also, the 8-star for A Deal with Dark Ruler only has to be sent. If you tribute BLS-EotB for Metamorphosis, you can play A Deal with Dark Ruler and bust out Berserk Dragon. This card also can completely ruin your opponent's Scapegoats.
This card, however, is a nomi monster, so that hurts it immediately. Also, 0 DEF makes it Tsuku-vulnerable, so be wary of that when using it.
When using Berserk Dragon, clear their back row if at all possible and try to ahve something along the lines of a Big Bang Shot ready for Berserk Dragon. A 3900 ATK monster with piercing that can attack every mosnter they have is rather nasty.
This card belongs in decks that focus around getting an 8-star or higher monster out (not BLS, it's too situational there). In those decks, this card will usually hit the field.
Advanced: 4/5
Traditional: 4.25/5 There's far more mass removal here.
Sealed Pack: 1/5 Only 4 monsters that'll trigger it, I think.
Limited: 1/5
