Buried-Ruins Dragon

The myth

This dragon is a MYTHENOR creation, but the fear it embodies is real: Egyptian tombs had to be protected from robbers and from the elements. Egyptians relied on seals, spells and guardian gods such as Anubis. The famous curse of the pharaoh, however, is modern: it was born in the press of the 1920s, when Lord Carnarvon, patron of the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb, died in 1923. Most people involved in the excavation lived for many years, and his death had a very earthly cause.

Why it has this power

A common level 4 Dragon of Earth with 900 ATK and 1300 DEF: stone that endures more than it strikes, like a guardian of ruins. Feather beats Sun, and Scarab, the beetle of the tombs, beats Leviathan. It makes a good wall for the opening turns.

Did you know

Lord Carnarvon did not die of a curse: he died of blood poisoning after nicking an infected mosquito bite while shaving.
