I think I've chosen a buddy two. While alot of people have chosen Drum Bunker Dragon as their buddy I always found my self drawn to Drum Bunker Dragon Barrier Breaker. He just looks so awesome!

1)Thematically: I have always been obssessed with dragons! There are dragon doodles on all my notes from school and I beleive it stems from my youthful obssession with dinosaurs. Ever since I found out what dragons were Ive been obssessed so hands down dragon world!

2) Jackknife dragon is really useful for a good deck with synergy which I like. Drum Bunker dragon is good no matter what. Those are the two most popular buddies right now and I wanted to have something different since everyone will be using those buddie and alot of people are playing dragon world. So Drum Bunker BB seemed cool, plus his art is awesome!

3) So now that I've decided on Drum Bunker BB I have to look at his pros and cons I guess. Well his pros are that he has 6000 power for a size 2! most size 2 buddies dont have that extra level of power and he can even compete with some size 3s without spell support. Plus he has penetrate coupled with his 6000 power and 3 critical makes him very scary and hard to stop. Cons are boviously his high call cost. 2 guage whereas most other opular size 2 buddies onyl cost one guage. however with newer cards like dragonic charge this high call cost can be mitigated. However his biggest con is his bismal defence stat. Only 1000, so drago energies arent that effective with him, so wrath of the dragons have to be used instead.

4) I got to try him out. I had tons of fun using him and he did plenty of hits. Wrath of Dragon and Dragonic charge did help mitigate his negative stats bt he did get killed alot because of his low defence. But on the very plus side he dealt alot of damage and fit my very aggressive playstyle!
