Card Name: Shooting Star Dragon

Performing basic Synchro summoning is no sweat to most duelists. You can even Synchro summon without doing much or costing you a Normal Summon. But how "good" can a typical Synchro Type deck perform?
SHOOTING STAR DRAGON is the introduced and is the cover card of Starstrike Blast. It is one of the newly released Cosmic Synchro monsters - which are evolved and more powerful version of their original Synchro counterparts.
In the anime, Shooting Star Dragon can be summoned by ACCEL SYNCHRO - in which a duelist achieves a Clear Mind and tremendous amount of speed (on a motorcycle). But since we can't ride a motorcycle and duel people... Accel Synchro can be performed by using a Tuner Synchro Monster. As of this format, FORMULA SYNCHRON is the only Tuner Synchro monster in TCG.
Shooting Star Dragon has 3 devastating effects. It can attack up to 5 times depending on how many tuners you revealed, it can negate a card-destroying effect without any cost once, and it can negate an attack during the Battle Step.
Is it worth the summon? Yes and No.
YES because its not that hard to summon (eg. Starlight Road + Kinka-byo + any level 1). The effects will serve useful during mid duels.
NO: depending on what deck you are using, "teching" Shooting Star Dragon will be very difficult to pull off. (eg. Lightsworns - who only use synchro summoning for emergency situations most of the time).
Trivia: Shooting Star Dragon is Yusei's new Cosmic Synchro Monster. He summoned it for the first time against Primo (Placido) once he attained Clear Mind.
