Analysis
Fell Dragon Temple is an immaculate piece of card design that manages to be simultaneously appealing to competitive and casual players alike without any part of it feeling overtuned.
On the lowest, most realistic end of its effects we have the most useful effect competitively; stopping anti-Darkness techs like Shizukuhime, Wetland Mermaid from screwing up your graveyard set-up.
Next, at 2 copies in play, we get the useful ability to turn all our non-
s into Darkness, allowing common out of archetype cards like Lucifer the Lightbringer, and Forest Fairy to contribute to graveyard requirements, as well as in archetype cards that lack the attribute like Mage of Skyscrapers, and Making a Killing. However, its not an effect to depend on, while still being a useful buff, so its easy to see this card as a 2 of played primarily for the 1 copy effect with the 2 copy effect helping out on occasion.Then with 3 copies we get a handy filter effect. However, 3 copies in play is a very big ask, but if you're gunning for the 4th effect, this helps you dig for your final copy.
Finally, if you get all 4 copies of this in play, you get the big timmy effect; every single unit in your graveyard now has an Abyssal Concerto ability to be revived with any of your summoners! Powerhouse Legends like Magvarius, Grand Dragon Pentarch of Inferno or Van Reign, Grand Dragon Pentarch of Blades? Powerful Superior Rares like Lucifer the Lightbringer and Konohanasakuya-hime? And the options will expand every set!
