Today's COTD, the last COTD of "EOJ Week" is one of those Destiny Heroes that are all the rage these days. Meet Double Dude, the most reckless monster in the game of Yu-Gi-Oh! today. Ok, ok, I know, he's level 6. I know, I know he cant be special summoned. Thats all fine and dandy, because its his second effect that makes him so special. He isnt afraid of ANY removal whatsoever. Since Chaos Sorcerer is a thing of the last list, the only way to get rid of Double with no emotional luggage is to either brainwash and tribute it, or remove it from the game. Build a deck around him protecting him from that lone weakness and you're in the clear.

Advanced Format 3/5

I like his effects,but I don't like that he's level 6. I think it should have been 4stars or something. But that's just my opinion,anyways 3/5 that seems about right.

Before I start, I just want to let you know that I am quite biased toward this card. So my review may not carry as much credibility as someone else's, but I'll try to be fair.


Double Dude is a quite interesting card. If it didn't have that special summoning restriction you'd be look at a new staple. But even so, it is still worth using. It is capable of doing quite a bit of damage, and can drive people crazy.

5/5 in a deck based on him
3.5/5 everywhere else

[Raito]

It is worth using, and until we get the Dandylion, this is all we have for trib fodder. But the fact thatit's level six and has those stats is hindering it more than helping.

3/5

4/5 Very good , one of favorites in POTD, only Dogma's better

Funny how this is the last card of the EOJ week, yet this card is from POTD LoL. Yeah I pulled this "Dude" yesterday LoL. This card I must say is very interesting indeed. Can attack twice and leave behind two tokens if it dies; that's pretty cool. If this card was Lv.4 or didn't have its special summoning restriction, it'd be too powerful. Despite that, it is still Sangan searchable atleast. To really utilize the powers of this card, the best thing to do is build a deck around him like the Requiem did (check the RMD section). D-Hero Dasher is still by far my favorite D-Hero and arguably the best.
Overall I have to give this card a 2-2.5/5, but in a deck based around him a 4.5-5/5
