Ahhhh Gold, such power, such
furocity! Well.... Maybe not so much.... In a darkworld deck
this card is a must! You should consider running 2-3 in a pure out
dark world deck. The support for this decktype goes without question,
and you will seldom be burdened with actually sacrificing a monster, in
D/W deck this scores a perfect 5.
Now... For the standard play
and use... This card is indeed good. It combos well with
Graceful Charity, and is a solid choice if you have to actually make the
tribute. Now you might be thinking, its not just a free special
summon, it kills 2 cards! Well let me tell you, that effect is going
to go off maybe 1 out of 100 games. The only commonly played card of
your opponent for discard would be confiscation, and they will never pick
this card out of your hand, and those times where its the last card in your
hand late game and your opponent actually played confiscation? Thats
the 1 out of 100 :)
Though this card is good,
its just overshadowed my many other cards that should be used in place of it
as a tribute. Mobius the frost Monarch, Jinzo, Zaborg the thunder Monarch,
Dark Magician of Chaos just to name a few. The effect being used with
graceful chairty, though powerful, will not come around often. The
odds are just against you. Great card in casual and very good in
tradional however.
3/5

Here we have the king of the new Dark World theme
(or shall I say Wu-Lord). This monster has a very nice effect.
If it is discarded by a card effect, it gets special summoned right back
to the field. Also, if it gets discarded by your opponent's effect
(with the lot of Dons and Reapers being used), you can then destroy 2 of
your opponent's cards. Either way could bring a major hurt on your
opponent. A big plus with this effect could be the use of his lower
ranked pal Brron, Mad King of Dark World. Simply get to the
opponent's life points with Brron, and you now have a Goldd on the field
to reinforce your attack squad.
It has 2300 attack, which isn't too bad for a level 5 monster,
especially with his discard effect. Just be cautious with the Goblin
Attack Forces that may want to go in for a simple kamikaze.Being
Dark/Fiend is another plus as these characteristics seem to bold well in
today's game. Also with the amount of Dark World support within the
theme, this could be one monster to be cautious of.
This card would bold extremely well when used in a Dark World themed
deck as there are many ways to manipulate their discard effects.
In a regular advanced format deck, it would probably be much better to
side-deck it, since there are many other one-tribute monsters that could
easily replace him, and with better effects. And if you notice
your opponent likes keeping you controlled with your hand via Dons
or Reapers, etc. (which seem to be becoming much more common), in he
comes to save the day.
Dark World deck: 4.5/5
Advanced deck: 3/5

ok...so this card is like woah o.o, 2300 attack, 1
offering, meh not owrht shinyness. But then ZOMG IT HAS AN EFFECT. then
we're all like ZOMG THIS CARD PWNS. then we think..is it worth it? this card
makes hand control pointless and is great with graceful. but still is it
worth it?
well in a dark world deck, this is a must. it's liek the pwning card and
will cream many people. and it can be used effectively in the side deck. not
main deck worthy unless in DW. So i say side deck it vs hand
control/disruption and go from there. but still its secondary effect i good,
but worthless without support (support being the opponent)
anyway
5/5 in DW
2.5/5 in any old deck
