nobunaga is here, welcome to the endgame
Oh cool, time to throw Neptune Dragon in the trash because Way Better In Virtually Every Way Black Neptune Dragon is here. Bite a dick black, may your MP dragon be aggressively shit all over by a blue card some day.

Okay, so what does Neptune Dragon have that makes him not just a strictly trash-tier Nobunaga? Maybe it's not actually that bad. Let's look at it.
-More versatile and arguably better sub pool. Neptune Dragon can use anything, Nobunaga can only use devils. How many non-devil cards would Nobunaga even want to run? No idea. Even despite that NepDra arguably has a better sub pool since it has access to a number of physical blue row orbchangers, which augment his lack of HP modifier and have everything he cares about. Then again, Nobunaga has Awoken Pandora to fill the same role. Not sure what Nobunaga teams look like, but if they stack enough Pandas maybe they don't care.
-Considerably higher weighted stats, although it's all in HP since Nobunaga has much higher ATK and RCV, and his HP is still passable. That's important though, since again these guys have no HP modifier so they can get a bit light on HP very easily.
-More awakenings. Kind of not really though, since NepDra's black row BARELY matters. It's not irrelevant, but it comes up rarely.
-Unlike Nobunaga, NepDra has at least one skillboost. His skill takes more than twice as long to charge, granted, but it's helpful for subs.
-Way more rows. This is the first one of these that's an actual full upside and not just a half-victory, although it is tempered a bit by the fact that Nobunaga's attack is higher.
-Niche active matters sometimes. It's legit super useful for PreDras. Sucks for pretty much everything else, but PreDras are extremely relevant so being good against those does matter.
-Way prettier.
-Farmable, technically.
