Monkey.D.Dragon (001)

Strategic Overview

Monkey.D.Dragon (OP07-001) is an aggressive Red Leader that embodies the relentless momentum of the Revolutionary Army. His ability is deceptively simple but incredibly high-impact: [When Attacking], you can attach 2 rested DON!! cards to one of your Characters. This provides a free +2000 power boost every single turn, allowing your mid-range units to swing with the force of late-game boss monsters without depleting your active resources for the turn.

The strategic depth of Dragon lies in "DON!! Efficiency." By utilizing rested DON!!, Dragon allows his deck to play multiple characters in the Main Phase while still threatening massive swings during the Battle Phase. This creates a board state where every single Revolutionary Army unit becomes a must-answer threat, overwhelming the opponent's counter resources and life total simultaneously.

Key Strategic Synergies

• Sabo (OP07-118): The perfect recipient for Dragon's rested DON!!, allowing Sabo to activate his protection and Rush abilities while keeping your active DON!! free for other plays.
• Karasu (OP05-015): Combined with Dragon's buff, Karasu can swing for massive damage while simultaneously reducing the opponent Leader's power, creating a massive power gap.
• Curly.Dadan (OP07-004): Provides the early-game search needed to find the specific Revolutionary Army pieces that benefit most from Dragon's combat buffs.
