It is still a great card in Dark decks, especially if you can easily manipulate the GY. The card is great, but can be a huge brick if your GY gets filled up with too many Darks. Thanks to the Tele-DAD deck basically being Tier 0, this card is at one and hasn’t moved in the TCG since I believe. Back in the day, with Tele-DAD and other DAD based decks, graveyard manipulation allowed this card to be a true powerhouse.

DAD also allows you to banish a Dark from the GY to pop a card on the field, and it is neat that this isn’t once per turn. Yes, for Throwback Thursday this week, we look at Dark Armed Dragon.ĭark Armed Dragon can be Special Summoned from the hand if you have EXACTLY 3 Dark Monsters in the GY, and that is the only way he can be summoned (unless you can ignore the summoning conditions with certain cards I believe). It is hard to believe Dark Armed Dragon is nearly 10 years old, heck it is hard to believe the whole Phantom Darkness set is nearly 10 years old.
