Dark Doriado

DARK/Spellcaster/Pendulum/Effect
Lv 4
5 Pendulum Scale
ATK/1800 DEF/1400

Pendulum Effect
All EARTH, WIND, WATER, and FIRE monsters you control gain 200 ATK and DEF for each monster you control with a different Attribute.

Monster Effect
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 EARTH, WIND, WATER, and FIRE monster in your Graveyard; return them to the top of the Deck in any order.

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can choose 1 EARTH, 1 WATER, 1 FIRE, and 1 WIND monster from your Deck, and place them on top of your Deck in any order.

Unpossessed Rank 4 spam seems to get a boost, not only you can boost FP's attack, but you can actually recycle your FP and familiars, that can free up your deck space a bit, allowing you to use less FP Charmers for other useful cards. If the rule allow you to recycle Extra Deck monsters too, then she would be super amazing for FP Xyz decks. The Xyz, FP and familiar's different attributes just make her effect easier to trigger.

Lv 4 Doriado just screams "use me together with Familiar-Possesseds for Rank 4 Xyz spam!" Besides, it made her in same level like Shadowpriestess of Ohm.

AWW OH &^#&$ )(@@# ^%^&@ !@!)(! SON OF #$***! WEASEL! WHY SHOULD DORIADO BECOME DARK MONSTER?!


..........Well, it doesn't seem she become evil, for me. Besides, her effect is still supportive to all 4 main elements. Which in my opinion, doesn't make her evil. Not yet.

"YAY DRAGON RULER SUPPORT!"

this card is a really good card for a charmer deck because I can recycle my charmer monsters when she is normal or special summon. Too bad she does not have 1500 DEF because she would be OP with unpossessed. I think this card is good for charmers as well for the Familiar possessed deck

Allure is now even more viable in Charmer decks if you also play Doriado. Also, fun cards to be recycled:
- Jigabyte (can be with Inari so he will still have target to search)
- Fire Hand
- Ice Hand
- Traptrix Dionaea (you can just place her in top deck!)
- Castel, the Skyblaster Muskeeter (if allowed)
- Number 101: Silent Honor ARK (if allowed)

Prevent Unpossessed to run out of target, Allure-able, can Xyz with familiars just like FPs, and also can be searched by FP-Dharc.

Dark Doriado, eh? Would love to get some lore on this. 600 atk point boost, and her effect changes from simply making her treated as the four main elements to actually helping other monsters of those elements.

Doesn't seem all that useful, unless you're REALLY desperate to get that ATK boost. For most of the time, you wouldn't have all four elemental monsters on the field, nor would you be using the actual Doriado.

I'll have to take a closer look later.

You don't use her for ATK boost, but you use her mainly to recycle stuffs.

Let me say this from point of view of a player that plays Unpossessed Rank 4 spam:
They Xyz like crazy and her recycling effect can be useful because how quick your monsters are sent to grave by being detached.

Her ATK boost is just a bonus, but it's not uncommon to have monsters with different attributes in field, because the familiars can be easily special summoned from hand. Not to mention, Unpossessed itself can keep you summoning FP to maintain your field. At least having 2 monsters will give you 400 ATK boost. And I will say it's quite big, as 2250 ATK FP 1900 ATK familiar is really solid beater, considering how easy those two monsters can be summoned. Then, if you suicide your Jigabyte that is special summoned after you normal summon a FP while there's Unpossessed, you'll have 3 monsters with different attribute already.

From my experience, since half of the monsters in the deck consists of familiars, the slot for FP cards becomes limited too, and sometimes I run out my copies of FP because of Unpossessed's constant summoning. Doriado can take care of this problem by recycling my monsters. Sometimes I also run out of target for Jigabyte's search. Sometimes I want to summon King of Feral Imps in mid to late game and I don't have Jigabyte anymore in my deck. Doriado can answer those.

Eria you got the monster effect of Dark Doriado wrong. This card does not add those cards form the graveyard to the deck but you just place them to the top of the deck from the deck.

So mending if you run out of targets for unpossessed then you can't use Dark Doriado's monster effect since there are no wind fire earth and water monsters in your deck to be placed to the top of the deck.

I'm not sure about this. YGO Wikia claims the targets go from the Deck to the top of the Deck, but YGO Organization claims they go from the Graveyard to the top of the Deck. Guess we'll have to wait and see when it officially comes out.

Eeh, if she doesn't recycle cards then she seems to not really great for Charmers then. And that's too bad.

Fixed

E-Drag Pendulums, where you Pendulum summoned her each turn and get your wanted E-Drag every turn.

...Good thing E-Drags are banned! XD

Ygorg updated, now she stack cards from Deck instead of recycling. I can't believe she's even more evil than Ohm. I mean, she made me hype after I saw that grave recycling effect is useful for Unpossessed decks, and now she succesfully DEHYPE me by revealing her true self: card stacking only! That's truly evil, even Ohm never do this to me!
