Said finger got fractured, it was a big ole mess, everyone felt awful about it. But as I was leaving to go to the hospital, to help me feel better this one teenager I'd been following around gave me his Barrel Dragon because he knew I really liked the card. Never got much use out of it, and I wouldn't get my finger crushed in a door again for one, but I still really like it.

Tossing 3 coins and getting "at least 2 heads" has a 50% chance of happening, so you would expect to destroy 0.5 monsters per turn. Tossing 2 coins and getting 2 heads has a 25% chance of happening, and this effect only works on summon, so you would expect Twin Barrel Dragon to destroy 0.25 monsters total As for Desperado and Gattling, which have very similar coin flip effects, you would expect to destroy 1/8(0)+3/8(1)+3/8(2)+1/8(3)=1.5 monsters per turn. This is an ENORMOUS improvement from the original barrel dragon, and even more so from twin, which is literally a vanilla 75% of the time.

Just to add to the discussion: Gatling Dragon was also great on Duel Links in Cyber Stein decks, especially pre-nerf Life Cost 0. Twin-Headed also saw play on early DL and with Desperado decks. As for Speed Duels, Barrel Dragon only saw rogue play. However, Blowback Dragon saw good amount of play in the early Battle City Box format because of Inner Conflict and being a Dark target for Allure. However, it then lost favor to Kaiser Glider because of its low defense making it weak to Book of Moon and the unreliableness of the effect.

Every Duel Links player is talking (complaining ? deserved tho) about Desperado, but I remember Toon Barrel Dragon being one good target to the skill "Three Star Demotion". What it did is basically reduce the level of a monster by 3 in your hand once per duel (I can't remember if the condition "having Suijin, Kazejin or Sanga of the Thunder in your hand" was already there or not). You could just use the skill, then normal summon your fresh new level 4 Toon Barrel Dragon and maybe pop a card. The skill was nerfed tho - because of the ninja deck being too OP with 3SD - requiring players to lower their LP to 1000 to use the skill on any monster (no restriction at all for the gate guardian materials, as mentionned)
