Dorado will be something to look at in future sets. I can see its potential going forward. I already have a deck that generates out shields so I can see ideas for this card already.

Billion Degree is pretty cool. I think that would replace bolt-tail potentialy

The old Billion-Degree Dragon was a 10 Cost, 15K Power, Triple Breaker. That being said, I think I like the new one a lot better. It is Gatling and Bolt-Tail in one! I can see it easily replacing Bolt-Tail. Not only can it take out stuff like Hydra Medusa and Neuron on the turn it is played, but it can do it even if they are untapped (rare occurrence, but I bet it happens).
The other I personally don't see as being practical. At least until shield regen picks up. Still, pretty good promos to kick off Duel Days (although something about that name just feels odd to me =p).

Awesome awesome awesome! Billion-Degree Dragon is a lot better than the previous one from Duel Masters. Dorado looks like it'll be fun but only with shield regeneration. The word "Duel Day" is kinda weird to be on the card IMO lol.

I am a believer in Dorado. I wouldn't look less on that card just yet. They are just introducing shield regeneration. I got a feeling, some thing more is coming on that end. DNA Spark or a version of it? I hope so!!!!

Much more impressed w/ Dorado than Billion Degree. Billion will liikely see more play but Dorado will be sick in the decks built to abuse him. Very cool promos.

Dorado in a blocker/Enforcer deck as a finisher - along with Rally the Reserves could be pretty sweet. Drop Dorado, following turn play Cobalt - and with enough cheap blockers and tap spells you could pretty easily be at 6 shields with the Cobalt play. Swing for 5 shields on that turn.

Billion Degree dragon is pretty cool, but honestly i want him for the art more than anything XD

Even with all 5 shields still intact, Dorado is still a vanilla albeit a very powerful one at a low cost. It lacks fast attack so it can still get hit by Terror Pit or even more likely, Hydra Medusa before it even gets a chance to do anything. Now there are two instances where you will have all 5 shields still intact at this point: 1) You are in complete control of the game so Dorado is redundant or 2)You are generating extra shields. I believe that if you are generating extra shields you have given up several opportunities to generate advantage or put pressure on the board which means your opponent is most likely in a better position. Currently, our ways to generate shields are too slow and too costly to build a viable shield generating deck that actually outperforms something like Blurple.

Dorado, Golden Dragon seems like a finesse card, that is, difficult for many to play and pull off, but when the few skilled players can pull it off, it's pretty devastating.

Billion-Degree Dragon is really nice with Fast Attack and Double Breaker. I just question it's attack power, it feels a little low, but with the ability to attack untapped creatures, I think it makes up for it. I think it may come out in the game too late to really take out evo bait, but it could be useful against untapped evolutions that have 5000 atk power.

Either way, totally excited to be able to earn these promos!

I definitely see shield regeneration becoming a bigger part of light which will make Dorado much easier to play but hey a double breaker vanilla isnt too bad especially when it could become a triple breaker and have the same power as Evo Tatsurion is pretty cool

Btw Billion-Degree Dragon looks to be a modified version of Bazagazeal Dragon from Duel Masters. I'm glad they nerfed it a bit cuz I hated Bazagazeal lol.
