Taking a break from Rescue Rabbit for a bit to discuss a recently spoiled card that is claimed to be broken by many.
6 Star Light Dragon/Effect
You can banish 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card from your hand. You can send 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your hand to your Graveyard; Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can target 1 Level 5 or higher DARK Dragon-Type monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon that target.
Basic Overview
This card's power comes from how easily it can get out, into the grave, and out again. Dragon's have access to two major cards that get them into the grave, Dragon Ravine and Future Fusion (for Five-Headed Dragon). With either of these cards, you can pitch a variety of cards that assist Pulsar. For example, with Dragon Ravine you can pitch both a Light and Dark Dragon, then Banish both to summon Pulsar. Pulsar almost always will grab REDMD, and REDMD will almost always grab Pulsar, they complement each other perfectly. Since Pulsar's effect can never miss timing, there are a wide variety of ways to pitch it and get value. These destructive elements are what has lead to the deadly Pulsar FTK.
Pulsar FTKThe concept of Pulsar FTK is to get out REDMD, Pulsar, and (Toon) Cannon Soldier, or Pulsar and Cannon Soldier with a REDMD in Grave. You then sack Pulse for Cannon, get out REDMD, then SS Pulse back with REDMD and sack REDMD then Pulse, Rinse and Repeat. The deck also has synergy with a slew of great FTK cards, like Toon Table of Contents, Trade-In Blue-Eyes and Consonance White Stone.These cards are commonly referred to as the Deep Draw Dragon engine, and they fit perfectly with this deck.
Non FTK Tricks
In addition to having a whole FTK, this card has several other easier combos.
Enemy Controller: You can sac Pulse for Econ to take control of a monster for a turn and then summon a REDMD
Plaguespreader: Plague + Pulse = 8 Star Synchro and a REDMD. Summoning Plague then SSing Pulsar with 2 REDMD in grave can lead an easy OTK.
Glow-Up Bulb: You can synch Bulb with Pulse to make Black Rose Dragon, pop the field and then get a REDMD once the field is cleared off.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon: You can tribute REDMD and Pulse for this guy, then resummon REDMD with Pulse eff and then get Pulse with REDMD effect. That's 8300 damage.
Dark Hole or Torrential Tribute: You can pop the whole field with one of these and then get back REDMD with Pulse, then get Pulse with REDMD.
In conclusion, Pulsar will probably get Cannon Soldier and Toon Cannon Soldier banned just as Sams got Mass Driver banned, as the only practical use Cannon has at this point is to pop out a busted FTK, and without him Pulsar just becomes another good dragon instead of a broken combo piece.
