ATK/2,500 DEF/2,000

If this card is Synchro Summoned: You can target cards your opponent controls, up to the number of Synchro Monsters in your GY; destroy them, and if you do, this card gains 1000 ATK for each card destroyed. If this Synchro Summoned card is destroyed: You can Special Summon up to 3 Level 8 or lower “Warrior”, “Synchron”, and/or “Stardust” Synchro Monsters with different names from your GY. You can only use each effect of “Satellite Warrior” once per turn.

Satellite Warrior is a level ten Synchro Monster with two effects and respectable stats. This Synchro Monster provides support for Stardust, Synchron, and Warrior (archetype). It has a strong offense in the late game due to one of its effects. It also can control the field with one of its effects.

First Effect:

Satellite Warrior is a destructive card on the field. This Synchro Monster has the powerful combination of control and power. This Synchro Monster destroys the opponent’s cards up to the number of Synchro Monsters in your graveyard and it gains 1,000 ATK for each card destroyed.

Furthermore, Satellite Warrior counters the opponent’s strategy. You have the potential to destroy many of the opponent’s cards. The opponent may lose key monsters, spells, and traps on their side of the field.

In addition,  Satellite Warrior is in a solid position to deliver massive damage. This Synchro Monster can easily gain 1,000 or more ATK. If this card destroys two of the opponent’s cards, then this card’s attack points increases to 4,500. Satellite Warrior with this amount of ATK can easily destroy many monsters, and inflict massive damage from battle.

For example, Satellite Warrior destroys three of the opponent’s cards and gains 3,000 ATK if your graveyard has three Synchro Monsters and this effect destroys three of the opponent’s cards cards. This example shows the destructive and offensive power of this Synchro Monster. This card puts a lot of pressure on the opponent in the mid to late game.

Second Effect:

Satellite Warrior may special summon up to three Synchro Monsters from battle after this card is destroyed. You gain three resources after losing this single card. The effect ensures at least one monster on the field to protect your life points or aggressively attack the opponent on your next turn.

Furthermore, Satellite Warrior puts you in a great position with a chance for victory. The addition of Synchro Monsters on your field is a massive advantage after you lose a single monster. The right combination of Synchro Monsters can overwhelm the opponent and inflict massive damage.

In addition, this effect has many targets due to it supports three archetype. All three of these archetypes have many Synchro Monsters. These cards have a variety of effects to assist you.

For example, Stardust Dragon is a good target for Satellite Warrior. Stardust Dragon provides protection for your cards on the field. Your other monsters have protection from the opponent’s cards.

Synchro Summon Satellite Warrior:

Satellite Warrior requires one tuner monster and one non-turner Synchro Monster for its Synchro Summon. This card requires monsters to equal level ten. These requirements are fairly easy to fulfill. Yu-Gi-Oh! has many level three tuner monsters and level seven Synchro Monsters.

One of the best tuners for Satellite Warrior is Synchro Magnet. Synchro Magnet is a level three monster and it special summons itself when you Synchro summon a Synchro Monster. The best strategy is Synchro summoning a level seven monster such as Stardust Dragon. Then, you may special summon Synchro Magnet from your hand and perform a synchro summon of Satellite Warrior.

Support:

Satellite Warrior has a large library of cards for support. Warrior (the archetype), Synchron, and Stardust support this Synchro Monster. You can easily add this card in the decks of those archetypes. They can consistently summon this Synchro Monster.

Rush Warrior enhances the offensive potential of Satellite Warrior. Rush Warrior doubles the ATK of your Synchro Monster in battle. This effect from this hand trap is a surprise for an opponent. For example, Rush Warrior may double the ATK of Satellite Warrior to 7,000 for one battle if you have at least once Synchro Monster in your graveyard.
