Do not attack with this champion; he is there only to revive your lost dragons.

This champion can quickly become a target, and has no inherent immunities; so provide him with protection, like the Orb of Power [4th-170] or Pearl Pegasus [DU-70]. The Dragon Cultist can retrieve both dragon champions and dragon allies, which makes this card a cornerstone of most dragon decks. His power is always used during phase 5, after all attacking is done, due to the restriction based on his attacking. Orb of Green Dragonkind [3rd-424] is a good card to add to a dragon deck using the Cultist, thus doubling your recycling power.
