Editing Card Tips:Vice Dragon

{{Navigation}}

* This card can be searched by "[[Dogu]]", "[[Single Purchase]]", "[[Temple of the Kings]]", "[[Transmodify]]", "[[Painful Escape]]", "[[Broken Blocker]]", "[[Rescue Ferret]]", "[[Chaos Zone]]", "[[Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation]]", "[[Dragonic Guard]]", "[[Starliege Dragon Seyfert]]", "[[Draconnection]]" and "[[Hieratic Dragon King of Atum]]".

* If you [[Normal Summon]] this card, you can use "[[Shield and Sword]]"/"[[Inverse Universe]]" to reverse it's [[ATK]] and [[DEF]].

* If you Summoned this card without [[Tribute]], and then "[[Skill Drain]]" is later activated, the [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] are no longer halved. If "Skill Drain" is later destroyed, the ATK and DEF still remain at 2000 and 2400.

* This card can be used as an alternative to "[[Cyber Dragon]]" for the purposes of tribute fodder or a quick [[Synchro Summon]]. Since you will usually summon this when you have less cards on the field than your opponent, you may wish to Synchro Summon "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" to clear the field.
** You can use this card instead of "Cyber Dragon" if your Synchro monsters require [[DARK]] or [[Dragon]]-type monsters to be Synchro Summoned, things that "Cyber Dragon" isn't.

* Dragon Decks often require tribute fodder, and using this card (rather than "Cyber Dragon") allows you to use "[[Solidarity]]" or other Dragon support cards: 
** If you special summon this card, then activate "[[A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon]]", you can simply special summon it again after it returns to your hand.
** This card will work well with "[[Strong Wind Dragon]]", giving it an automatic ATK increase of 1000 after you tribute "Vice Dragon".
** You can also Tribute it for "[[Tiger Dragon]]" so you can use "Tiger Dragon's" effect

* Its effect also allows it to dodge "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]". You can then use "[[A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon]]" or "[[Stamping Destruction]]" to destroy your opponent's trap(s) before Synchro or tribute summoning a more powerful monster. 

* This cards works well with "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]" by filling in the need for a Dragon to be banished to Special Summon "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" if you don't have another lower level Dragon to normal summon. If "Vice Dragon" is used this way, it also saves you a Normal Summon.

* If you Special Summon this card and use "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]", you can Special Summon another two copies of it from your Deck or Graveyard.
** This will not only give you 3 monsters with a total of 5000 attack points, but also making Xyz summoning Rank 5 monsters easier, combining at least 2 of them, leaving you one copy of this card left over with 2000 attack.

* This monster may be an alternate [[Tribute Fodder]] for monsters like "[[The Tricky]]" or "[[Gilasaurus]]".

* This card works well with "[[Advance Force]]".

* Use this card with "[[Nitro Synchron]]" to easily summon "[[Nitro Warrior]]".

* This card allows "[[Exploder Dragonwing]]" and "[[Dark End Dragon]]" to be Synchro Summoned easily.

* When you summon this card without a Tribute, it can be used for the activation cost of "[[Crush Card Virus]]".

==Traditional Format==
* This card can be searched by "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms]]".
