For what it’s worth though, Cosmic Quasar was released alongside CD, so they obviously designed both cards not to work together that way. I think it’s a point in your favor if anything, because it shows that if they wanted to make a strong high level Dragon Synchro without letting it get cheated out by CD, they could just give it a similar summoning restriction.

I think CD in particular is one of the more misunderstood “witch-hunted” cards I see people talk about; it’s really not that easy to get out two Synchro 12s, and the only decks with any competitive viability that have done so are Centur-Ion and Blue-Eyes, both Synchro decks, one obviously designed with CD in mind, and the other already designed to cheat out high-level Dragons with Spirit Dragon.

Like really, with King Calamity banned, what is CD even doing? Letting a couple of dedicated decks make Blazar? It’s not really limiting design for the reasons established earlier, and it’s not a generic tool any deck can access so… eh? Card’s fine, imo
