Dark End Dragon - Shonen Jump Championship Prize card

(I'm here to talk a bit, have some fun, and end some games. With a Stardust or a Prime material dragon on my side, there's nothing that can stop my fun. Except maybe the broken card Brain control!)


The winner of the Aneheim SJC and probably the future ones to come, will receive the above card known as Dark End Dragon.

Consider it the next Gold Sarcophagus, and here is why:


1 Tuner + 1 or more DARK non-Tuner monsters
Once per turn, you can decrease this card's ATK and DEF by 500 and send 1 monster your opponent controls to the Graveyard.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stardust

I hope it's eventually re-printed because it's a very powerful 8 star synchro.
It looks stardust in the eye and dares it to use it's effect.

There is a problem though, it doesn't destroy, so stardust has to sit there, get forced into the grave, and watch as Dark End slams into his owner's life points.

Game ender

Even if you're not being troubled by a Stardust, this card is simply a game ender.

Being able to attack directly for 2100 is amazing.

Or clearing the field, and letting your other monsters attack for game is equally amazing.

Also the fact that he's pretty simple to get out, means you won't have too much difficulty going for the win, when you decide the time is right.

Getting the card

The only bad news will be that getting this card will require a whole lot of money.
If you want to play it in the TCG, currently there are only 4 copies.
This is mainly because this card is currently only an SJC exclusive given to the top 3 winners of each SJC and a side event winner.

Soon there will be a few more, possibly 20 to 30, but they won't be enough to satisfy the taste of the hungry duelists who crave it's power around the TCG.

Although to be fair, the yugioh community does need a flag ship card that is powerful and rare, so that duelists have something to hope for or at least crave but not attain.

Seeing that Gold Sarcophagus will be easier to get, Doomcaliber Knight needed some help carrying that load. So it seems that Dark End Dragon will help carry the weight and it will do so without much effort.

It's not lvl 8 if my eyes don't deceive me...

It's also given out to the top 3 finishers of each Shonen Jump and the side event winner.

Hi, I just discovered this amazing blog today, and I'd like to direct you to my blog:
http://duelgym.blogspot.com/

In essence, my blog does much the same as yours - it reviews cards and relates information on the TCG in general. Perhaps we could collaborate together?

Very nice blog Geno. :)

I'd love to do a collaboration with you.

From what I've seen of your blog so far, it seems like very good quality writing.

Keep up the good work and let me know if you have any ideas in mind for a future collab.

My son has won this card 'Dark end dragon' in the Australian dragon duel national tournaments.

Unfortunately it is a little too valuable for a 11 year old to use, so we have decided to sell it. We have it listed on www.ygoparidise.com but will probably aim to sell it to a shop that my children already buy their cards from (for sake of security): Koolkingdom (English), ideal collectables (American), or Greylight (English).

Danger Mouse.
