1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Whenever you would take damage from a card effect, place 1 Black Feather Counter on this card instead. This card loses
700 ATK for each Black Feather Counter on it. Once per turn, you can remove all Black Feather Counters on this card to
have 1 face-up monster your opponent controls lose 700 ATK for each Black Feather Counter, and inflict damage to your
opponent equal to the ATK lost by that monster because of this effect.
Removing the Black Feather Counters is a cost.
The effect to inflict damage targets 1 face-up monster. The damage inflicted is equal to the amount of ATK lost by the
target monster.
The targeted monster's ATK will remain decreased for as long as it is face-up on the field.
If Reverse Trap is activated, the ATK of Black-Winged Dragon will increase for each Black Feather Counter on it and an
opponent's monster targeted by the effect will have its ATK increased. No damage will be inflicted in that case.
Black-Winged Dragon and Black-Winged Strafe are not "Blackwing" cards. You cannot use Blackwing - Breeze the
Zephyr as a Fusion Material Monster.
If you would be dealt effect damage by Gravekeeper's Vassal while you control Black-Winged Dragon you place the
Black Feather Counter during Damage Calculation and the damage is reduced to 0.
If you control Black-Winged Dragon and Prime Material Dragon and an effect that would inflict damage to you is
activated, you will gain Life Points instead and no Black Feather Counters will be placed.
If multiple Ojama Tokens are destroyed at the same time, you'll place a Black Feather Counter for each of them.
You can still activate Against The Wind while you control Black-Winged Dragon, but you'll place a Black Feather
Counter instead of taking damage and you won't add a "Blackwing" monster to your hand.
You cannot target a monster with 0 ATK with Black-Winged Dragon's effect because that monster's ATK cannot be
reduced.
If you control more than 1 Black-Winged Dragon you'll only place 1 Black Feather Counter on 1 Black-Winged Dragon
when you would take damage.
If Skill Drain is activated while Black-Winged Dragon has Black Feather Counters, all those Counters are removed and
the ATK of Black-Winged Dragon returns to its original value.
If the monster targeted with the ATK reducing effect of Black-Winged Dragon is no longer face-up on the opponent's
side of the field when the effect resolves then the effect is not applied.
The "damage equal to the ATK lost" is equal to the actual amount lost by the target monster. If a monster with 1900 ATK
has its ATK reduced to 0, the damage is 1900, even if 3 or more Black Feather Counters were removed.

What sets Black-Winged Dragon apart from the other Signer Dragons, aside (technically) from Red Dragon Archfiend, is that he carries his own archetype: the Blackwings. Unfortunately, he himself is not considered a Blackwing, but by using the Blackwing army, they can protect your Black-Winged Dragon as he plows through your opponent’s offensives.

Play tips for this YuGiOh Card
- This card can be used to counter Burn Decks.
- This card can also supplement using cards that burn you or both players. It will block damage to you, but not to the opponent, so such cards as Burning Land, Dark Snake Syndrome, Curse of Darkness or Chain Burst will only hurt the opponent or keep them from taking such actions while you are free to do so.
- You can use Against the Wind to put more counters on this card at the expense of not returning a Blackwing to your hand.
- This card is useful with some Psychic cards, including Telekinetic Power Well, Armored Axon Kicker, Psychokinesis and Brain Research Lab.
- You could even use Reverse Trap, to have this card's ATK increased for each Black Feather Counter.
- Use Forbidden Chalice to restore this card's ATK and have it gain 400 ATK.
- Use Tremendous Fire, Graverobber or Ectoplasmer so you take no damage.
- While Skull Invitation is on the field, you can have this card accumulate a Counter each time a card is sent to your Graveyard.
- Normal summon Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn, then Special Summon Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind to easily Synchro Summon this card.
- You may also use other similar combo's to Synchro Summon "Black-Winged Dragon", such as special summoning Cyber Dragon, Oracle of the Sun, or Vice Dragon and then normal summoning any level three Tuner Monster. Summoner Monk also works if you special summon a level 4 Tuner Monster such as Rose, Warrior of Revenge.
- Like many other Level 8 Synchro Monsters, this one can be easily summoned using a Level 4 Tuner Monster and Instant Fusion to Special Summon Karbonala Warrior etc. Or summon a level 3 Tuner monster (which are more common to find than level 4s) and use Instant Fusion to summon a level 5 fusion monster like Flame Swordsman or Giltia the D. Knight.
- Flamvell Firedog is another good card to use. Once it easily destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you special summon the level 4 tuner Flamvell Magician to Synchro Summon. After this, you could also use Rekindling to summon the monsters back, alowing for the Synchro Summon of Stardust Dragon or another copy of this card.
- Cards like Golem Dragon, King Dragun, and Silver Wing can protect this card while you accumulate counters.
- Use Mark of the Rose + Vengeful Servant with this card so that you would not take any damage, at the same time gaining 1 counter per turn.
- Use this card to protect yourself from Yubel. It stops the damage, and helps deal some of your own.
- Having this card on field along with a Stardust Dragon enables "Blackwing" Monsters to perform an OTK without worrying about cards like Magic Cylinder or ones with destruction effects.
- Use this card to protect yourself from the negative effect of The Big Saturn.
- Activate Mist Body to prevent Black-Winged Dragon to be destroyed when it loses ATK.
- Use this card in a Deck that causes much effect Damage on yourself, and then use "Blackwinged Dragons" effect to absorb, and then direct all of the gathered Counters at both your opponent, and their monster.
