Labradorite dragons are some of the most potent siphons of mana in Valkemare. Dragons and other magical creatures in close proximity to a Labradorite will weaken over time, and extended exposure may even be fatal. However, Labradorites have no control over this effect; any harm they may cause is almost always unintentional. In order to protect others from their draining, they make their homes in the labyrinthine depths of underground caves. Perhaps as a result of this seclusion, Labradorites are gracious hosts to the brave few who dare explore their dark caverns. Legends tell of how these curious dragons traded their sight for wisdom, and those who seek their guidance are richly rewarded with stories, advice, and the odd gemstone.

Normal Monsters were the dominant cards during the first years of the game, but as the game expanded its options and Effect Monsters became more prevalent they quickly became a secondary resource. Normal Monsters have been always in an odd spot since all they have to offer are stats. And with many of them not being powerful enough or not having a balanced Level to work with, hundreds of these creatures became easily forgotten right since their debut. But as support arround these creatures expanded that major flaw became quite secondary, and nowadays if a Normal Monsters is battling enemies it will take advantage of all its options to setup bigger summons without any difficulty.

"Labradorite Dragon" is far from being a powerful creature due its lack of ATK and average DEF for its Level, but there are some aspects that makes it more valuable than might apparent. The most important factor is that is a Tuner, and combined with the many resources arround Normal Monsters and its poor stats makes "Labradorite Dragon" a highly exploitable material to work in all kinds of big summons. With a high Level that can aid us with Synchro and Xyz Summons to other setups such as Link Summon, "Labradorite Dragon" might not win any battles but easily becomes a flexible material for all sorts of purposes.

Despite its high Level, "Labradorite Dragon" has a massive card pool to become quickly available from early to late game. The most efficient option from the start of a Duel is along the Hieratic archetype, using their tributing mechanics to summon not only "Labradorite" but also other Normal Monsters to setup their bigger summons. But there are many other methods to summon this monster from the Deck with ease, ranging from "Chaos-End Master" after defeating a monster in battle to banishing "Carboneddon" in our Graveyard. Speaking of which, the Graveyard is probably where "Labradorite Dragon" obtains most of its potential thanks to many revival options such as "Swing of Memories" or "Silent Doom" among several others. Two particular methods to summon it from our Graveyard are both "Dragard" and "Debris Dragon", bringing back "Labradorite" upon their own arrival ready to work as materials together.

"Labradorite Dragon" might not win any fights unless with very specific support, but will become a powerful material as soon that becomes available. As mentioned before most of its best setups comes from resting in the Graveyard, so try to work along cards like "Dragon Shrine" and "Cards of Consonance" to quickly dump this monster as soon as possible. Then is all up to the many revival options that can interact with "Labradorite" and together with other possible materials like "Vice Dragon" and "Level Eater" we will assure a big summon each turn or more if we bring a Link Monster in the process. But in most cases we will want to focus on Synchro Summons, as thanks to "Labradorite" position as a high Level Tuner we can cheaply bring out expensive creatures like "Trident Dragion" and "Leo, the Keeper of the Sacred Tree" without much effort required.

While many Normal Monsters out there can take a similar position to "Labradorite Dragon", the fact that is a high Level Tuner makes it more valuable than many others. Its lack of ATK might seem at first a severe flaw, but while might not defeat any monsters on its own makes it a great target for many summoning options like "Dragard" and "Silver's Cry". Combining the many revival effects at its disposition combining with effective tools to send it to the Graveyard immediately, soon enough "Labradorite Dragon" will keep preparing expensive Synchro Summons without any difficulties and any other kinds of big setups that can work arround its assistance. "Labradorite Dragon" might be reduced to a material role in most circumstances, but the many options to setup arround its stats thanks to hundreds of Graveyard setups makes it a highly valuable monster to achieve powerful summons with ease.

Personal Rating: A

+ High Level Tuner + Greatly supported by several revival options + Great material to achieve expensive Synchro Summons and other setups

- Poor stats - Relies on other cards to work - In most cases is only useful as material
