First Ability:

Spectral Dupe Dragon “Яeverse” gains 10,000 power if Spectral Duke Dragon is in the soul. In addition, this grade three unit receives an additional critical if the opponent has a grade 3 vanguard. This unit has a total of 22,000 power and two criticals before a boost and any effects from triggers.

Therefore, Spectral Dupe Dragon “Яeverse” is able to hit the opponent without a boost. This unit can inflict two damage from a single attack. Its 22,000 power is greater than any opposing vanguard without additional power from triggers. 

Furthermore, Spectral Dupe Dragon “Яeverse” can put a lot of pressure on the opponent. This vanguard can deal two damage if his attack is successful. A decent boost from a rear-guard increases this unit’s power, and forces the opponent to use a perfect guard or multiple cards for defense.

Second Ability:

Spectral Dupe Dragon “Яeverse” stands himself for a second battle after his first battle, but he loses one drive check. He also locks three of your rear-guards for the cost like many units with “Яeverse” in their names. The heavy cost allows a second attack from the vanguard. The one drive check makes a total of three drive checks from this vanguard in a singlet urn.

Therefore, Spectral Dupe Dragon “Яeverse” puts a lot of pressure on the opponent. Two attacks from a vanguard are very powerful plays. You have a one drive check with an opportunity for a trigger. 

Furthermore, the cost of this ability will not interrupt your offense if you correctly play your cards. Gold Paladins have the benefit of the Imaginary Gift: Accel. The clan naturally creates additional rear-guard circles. Your rear-guards on the normal circles should attack before Spectral Dupe Dragon “Яeverse”. Then, you may lock those rear-guards for the cost of this ability.

Third Ability:

Spectral Dupe Dragon “Яeverse” may superior call itself from the hand at the end of the battle when your vanguard attacked an opposing unit. The cost of this ability is locking three rear-guards and two counter blasts. In addition, this unit is unable to activate its auto abilities for the remainder of the turn.

This ability is a strong skill. It enables multiple battles from your vanguards. For example, Spectral Duke Dragon may attack the opponent in a battle, and you may superior ride Spectral Dupe Dragon “Яeverse” from the hand.

In addition, this ability provides an Imaginary Gift: Accel. You are riding Spectral Dupe Dragon “Яeverse” with this mechanic. You may potentially draw a card with Imaginary Gift: Accel II.
