Personal Comment:

With the recent release of “Legendary Collection 2: The Duel Academy Years”, duelist are now able to afford some of the more expensive cards out there as these reprints are as good as the originals in a dueling match (which is great for the game).  In addition, 3 new “Darklord” cards were added into the mix: Darklord Asmodeus, Darklord Superbia, and Darklord Edeh Arae.  Of the three, Darklord Superbia is the best of the bunch.  The 2900 ATK and 2400 DEF are well balanced and can handle most battles on its own.  But its Darklord Superbia’s effect that gives you a huge card advantage on the field.  Use Darklord Asmodeus’ effect to search your deck and easily send this monster to the Graveyard.  Once Darklord Superbia is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, you can Special Summon another Fairy-Type monster from your Graveyard (except another Darklord Superbia) giving you a two-for-one Special Summon.  So not only do you have Darklord Superbia on the playing field, but if the right card is in your Graveyard you could bring out some of the most powerful Effect Monster cards in the game (generally, Fairy-Type monsters lack the stats but more than make up for it with their effects).  In addition, if you’re running a Synchro deck, Darklord Superbia's effect makes gathering the needed material for a Synchro Summon that much easier.  The options and versatility that Darklord Superbia brings to a duel makes it an essential part in any Fairy-Type deck.
