General description:
I like this card, i use him in my deck *is it a guy or girl? idk lol* but yeah just like the show, but with one key difference, which is his destruction effect which i'll get into later.

Uses:
Of course i would run this guy in a plant deck, but even outside of it, it has its uses, its always good to have a card that blows up everything when synchro summoned, I remember facing a swarming elemental hero deck and when i summoned this guy out, saved me! lol.

Strategies and game play:
Strategy? well not to be a smart aleck, but summon, BOOM!! lol, and hopefully monster reborn something useful haha. this guy does change the game, I'm not sure how the ruling works though, does bottomless trigger before this guy's effect?

Combos with other cards:
Well most decks who splash this guy in probably just have him blow up the field and reborn something stronger. But for plant decks, im sure the combos are so much wider. Remove a plant from the game to switch a defense position monster to attack mode and make the attack 0? wow even on marshmallon thats useful haha, but anyway, being able to remove plants, it seems like there's some RFtDD combo waiting to happen if that hasn't happened already haha.

Ways to counteract it:
Usual ways, Solemn, Divine, Bottomless(?) idk the ruling. Monster w/ 2400<ATK or another. Stardust stops this guy too lol.

Strengths/Pros:
2 words, Summon, BOOM!! lol, Really, the pro is mass destruction, and the fact that this card is monarch level, 2400 with low defense. and he's easy to get out.

Weaknesses/Cons:
Low defense, ok attack power. the fact he destroys himself. effect can only be activated when synchro summoned, and the usual weaknesses such as solemn, divine, even destroying the tuner lol.

Variations:
I believe it is available in different versions, Duelist Genesis, Tins etc, i own the Tin version i believe and its pretty enough for me. haha

Artwork and aesthetics:
It looks like a Dragon composed of roses, It looks more red though haha, but i guess they called it black more in regards to akiza and the fact that red is taken by Jack. And there are subtle hints that everything is being blown up with the rose petals scattering. but i like the art honestly, its just hard to see the face right away.

Overall rating:
I'd give this guy an 8/10 it would've been a 9 but only when it first came out, so many other cards came out lol, Comboability *probably not a word but who cares lol* Destructive power. Also, the fact that its not limited, can use 3 in a extra deck, but who would use that many lol, and its not limited to plant tuner or plant monsters etc.
