yugioh advanced dark deck Complete Custom for Yu-Gi-Oh! The great dragon lord Grapha has a brand YU-GI-OH! - Dark Paladin (YGLD-ENC41)

So you might consider using it even if you dont care for its ability to reduce damage

The obvious way is to put it on the board in response to an attack, so it can pop at least one opposing monster with its effect in Main Phase 2

The latter options are particularly useful as combo pieces with cards like Blade of the Bloodchief and Rosie Cotton of South Lane

Roaring Moon ex has emerged as the most popular of these two, but Iron Valiant ex and Future cards are also well supported in the Paradox Rift set

Luckily, the argument against it can really end there, because this card wasnt explicitly designed for Commander and can live in an ecosystem of Cube

But even the regular Galarian Gallery cards are amazing, like Pikachu and its eight friends that make up a single piece of artwork when displayed together
