Level 8 DARK Zombie Effect Monster
ATK 2800

You can use each effect among the (1), (2), and (3) effects with this card’s name only once per turn.
(1) If this card is Normal Summoned: You can target up to 2 monsters in your opponent’s GY; Special Summon them to your field in Defense Position (but negate their effects).
(2) When a monster effect is activated, if that effect has the same name as any monster in any GY (Quick Effect): You can negate that activation.
(3) If a monster is Special Summoned from your opponent’s GY: You can Tribute 2 monsters; Special Summon this card from your GY.

Note: Drăculea is apparently another way of spelling Dracula, apparently a way of clarifying “Son of (Duke) Dracule”, much like Ivankov in Russian is “Son of Ivan” in Russian.
addl. later note: added a specific mark above the a, to make more apparent the connection to limba română. Also, changed translation of effect text slightly for clarity of mechanics, no change in card function.
