Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss - DUEA-EN085 - Secret Rare 1st Edition

He''s here finally! Who you may ask? No other than the traveler himself, rising from the depths of the abyss ready to take down any deck that stands in his way. Dante Alighieri. Based off the 14th century poem, The Divine Comedy, this rank 3 xyz is a force to be reckoned with. Not only is he a generic rank 3 but a far better card trooper. The ability to mill 3 and trigger other burning abyss monsters such as graff, scarm, and cir is amazing. This still isn''t the best part however. Dante can attack and then shift himself into defense position.With a defense of 2500 he forms a difficult wall to get over and even if your opponent destroys him you can add another burning abyss monster from your grave to your hand. Dante''s best friend for this is cir, malebranche of the burning abyss. Cir can special summon a burning abyss from grave when he''s sent to grave. You can continue to loop him and dante together as long as possible forming a wall that will just annoy your opponent. Dante will only continue to get better as more burning abyss cards are introduced in The New Challengers. I haven''t been this excited over an archetype since the release of lightsworn so many years ago.
