First Effect:
Dragon Master Lords cannot be targeted by the effects of the opponent’s cards. In addition, the opponent cannot destroy this card with effects. This effect provides great protection for this XYZ monster. The opponent cannot easily destroy this monster with effects. This effect protects this XYZ from monsters, spells, and traps.
Furthermore, the opponent is unlikely to destroy Dragon Master Lords by battle because this XYZ monster has strong status. Dragon Master Lords has 5,000 ATK and DEF. It is one of the strongest monsters in terms of attack and defense in Yu-Gi-Oh!. Most decks cannot handle a monster with strong status in battle.
Second Effect:
Dragon Master Lords inflicts double piercing damage to an opponent when it destroys a monster in defense position. This effect requires 25 cards in your graveyard. This XYZ monster consistently inflicts damage to the opponent in battle regardless of his or her monster’s position.
Therefore, Dragon Master Lords has the potential to inflict massive damage. Many monsters’ DEF is lower than their ATK. The opponent would lose more life points with their monsters in defense position for most situations.
However, the second effect of Dragon Master Lords has a major flaw. You are very unlikely to have an opportunity to activate this effect. The requirement of twenty five cards in the graveyard is an unlikely condition for a game of Yu-Gi-Oh!. Most decks will not be able to quickly put this many cards in the graveyard in a short period of time. Most duels will be decided before we reach the point of this effect’s requirement.
Third Effect:
Dragon Master Lords special summons one monster from your deck, extra deck, or graveyard when the opponent has 25 or more cards in his or her graveyard. This effect provides a powerful monster. The cost only detaching one materials from this XYZ monster.
Furthermore, this effect provides many options. You can special summon a monster from the extra deck such as link monster or synchro monster. You have the choice to revive a monster from your graveyard.
However, this effect requires the opponent to have twenty five or more cards in his or her graveyard. Most decks will not have this many cards in the graveyard at the end of the game. Either you or the opponent would have won the game at this point.
Therefore, you are very unlikely to activate this effect of Dragon Master Lords. This effect depends on the opponent’s actions and type of deck. You can slightly influence the number of cards in the opponent’s graveyard when you destroy their cards.
