5D's is still alive thanks to the manga iteration, which is of course, different. Like HEROes in the previous GX manga, Blackwing players expect some miracle to make them cool again. Well, this one isn't exactly a miracle.

If the only face-up monster you control is a "Blackwing" monster, other than "Black Feather - Byakuya no Gladius", you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Once per turn, if this card would be destroyed by battle, it is not.

NOTE that you can only special summon this card if you ONLY have one Blackwing on your field, making him less of a people person in a archetype that has an option to special summon a lot. Take your pick, he ain't like Gale/Bora and um, he's at the lower level of BW monsters. Have at it. And a reminder for those who do like/want more Blackwings, the newer cards coming out later won't please you guys.

My only question is: Why not have him be a tuner? For a 3, his stats are fine, but Gale (i think) is still the only level 3 Tuner in Blackwings. Normal Bora, SS him, Synch for AM. Aside from that! I like Decent Def monsters with a wall effect. They is nice. This guy will NOT see play though, and even if he WAS a tuner, he'd still see little play. So, meh most the way around.

I've been using this card in my Blackwing deck on DN and Gladius is awesome. His special summon effect is excusable since there had to be a limit to Blackwings swarming, but what really makes him awesome is his level. Being level 3 gives Blackwing decks more flexibility when it comes to Synchros. Blizzard + Gladius = Instant Lv 5 synchro. This combo also makes Silverwind easier to summon if you use Kalut as well. He also opens up the possibility of using Rank 3 Xyz monsters since Gale is already easy to summon. You can use all of the standard Blackwing searching methods to get him out too.

3/5 What's good about him is his level and nothing more. His Special Summon effect limits him somewhat and his wall effect won't be able to save him with how all of the meta decks that can swarm beaters like crazy.

not sure how much a downside his ss is... first turn you simply summon him second that's all. mid duel you wont' really need him that much but he'll be decent def fodder if something goes wrong. so yeah not bad at all just not wtf broke.
