It is overpowered, even if that one critical isn't too threatening. It breaks the scale that Bushiroad has already set for Dragon World.

By my calculations, Dragon World size 1s should have a total of 12000 in stats, between power, defense and critical (one critical = 3000 power or defense). I've also calculated, based on numerous examples, that costless Penetrate requires -4000 from the monster's overall stats.

With this in mind, we can see that Dirge Drill Dragon is a fair card, because his stats add up to 12000.

His power is 3000.

His critical is 1 (=3000).

His defense is 2000.

His Penetrate is equivalent to 4000.

3000+3000+2000+4000=12000.

In other words, aside from completely outclassing Dirge Drill Dragon in every way possible (seriously, he should cost one gauge), Tuck Sword Dragon is also breaking the scale set by Bushiroad for Dragon World size 1s, with a total of 14000 in stats. Those are Danger World size 1 stats.
