DBG Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 It's nothing special, but it certainly is a vast improvement from the last Deck thread I posted here, a long time ago, when I was a complete noob. Surprisingly, it holds its own pretty okay against some of the more competitive Decks even though it still loses. A number of cards here are questionable, yes, but I'm content with them. Also, this particular build has yet to lose against another Dragon Deck (unless you count Dragunities) in a Match (or Duel, if there is no Match) [spoiler= Monsters (20)] Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon x2 (I've tried running 3, didn't like it that much) Red-Eyes Wyvern x2 (tried running 3, didn't really like it) Prime Material Dragon Debris Dragon Delta Flyer x2 Dread Dragon Plaguespreader Zombie Glow-Up Bulb Dandylion Mirage Dragon Masked Dragon x3 Exploder Dragon Totem Dragon Golem Dragon Stardust Xiaolong [/spoiler] [spoiler= Spells (11)] Future Fusion (it's a lucky Future Fusion since I tend to draw this card early on--either this or Gold Sarcophagus) Monster Reborn One for One Pot of Avarice Gold Sarcophagus x2 Burial from a Different Dimension Dark Hole Giant Trunade (current format)/Heavy Storm (9/1 format) Mystical Space Typhoon x2 [/spoiler] [spoiler= Traps (9)] Mirror Force Dimensional Prison Torrential Tribute Compulsory Evacuation Device Tyrant's Temper Dark Bribe Horn of Heaven (I wish it was Warning) Black Horn of Heaven (again... wish it was Warning...) Solemn Judgment [/spoiler] [spoiler= Extra Deck (15)] Five-Headed Dragon Number 17: Leviathan Dragon Formula Synchron Armory Arm (took out the second Formula in preparation for the 9/1 format)/T.G. Recipro Dragonfly (once I get Quasar) Ally of Justice Catastor T.G. Hyper Librarian Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier Orient Dragon Ancient Fairy Dragon Black Rose Dragon Stardust Dragon (not two, because I typically only summon one per Duel... unless I add Starlight Road back in) Black-Winged Dragon Red Dragon Archfiend Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier Shooting Star Dragon (Most of this is just preparing for certain builds. Should be clear which cards are for what. Once I get Quasar, I may just remove Ancient Fairy, Black-Winged, or Leviathan. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.) [/spoiler] [spoiler= Side Deck (15) NOTE: What I have in here probably defeats the purpose of what a Side Deck is for, but is also because I lack a lot of cards] Stardust Dragon T.G. Recipro Dragonfly T.G. Blade Blaster T.G. Halberd Cannon (for now, until I get Quasar; it's basically a placeholder) Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode (thinking on removing) Koa'ki Meiru Drago (eventually will main, considering the upcoming format) Dodger Dragon (eventually will main, maybe) Necroface (I hate banish Decks) Lava Golem Gold Sarcophagus Assault Mode Activate (thinking on removing) Starlight Road Skill Drain Imperial Iron Wall (still hate banish Decks) Call of the Haunted [/spoiler] And, believe it or not, I have been credited for pulling "insane comebacks out of nowhere" with this Deck by friends who play more competitively. Oh, and if you're wondering why I don't have LaDDs... I can never seem to play that card right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 But Red-Eyes Metal Darkness should be at 3, whether you like it or not. Why only have 2 on the field when you could have 3? -1 Debris -1 Xiaolong -1 Golem Dragon -1 Horn of Heaven -1 Tyrant's Temper +1 Totem Dragon +1 White Night Dragon +1 Genesis Dragon +1 Red-Eyes Metal Darkness +1 Black Horn/Other Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: Dragon's mirror in place of a Sarco. If you're playing Dragons right, then you don't want FGD on the field, in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBG Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I understand the reasoning behind running the third completely. It's not just that I don't like it when I ran the third, I just never got it to really work. Oh, and I don't have another Black Horn of Heaven. If I did, it would be there instead of Horn of Heaven. And I've tried running White Night for a while before. Mostly bad experiences. Monster Reborn shenanigans. Tyrant's Temper... the Tribute cost literally, for me, has almost never been an issue. Neither has having FHD on my field. Doesn't hit the field half the time anyway. Genesis, I could probably try again. All in all, I had trouble playing these cards you've suggested right.

.Rai Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 You get the third to work by using Brionac, Foolish Burial, Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite and Future Fusion. It's not the cost of Tyrant's Temper that's the problem, it's just that you don't need it. No deck needs it, especially not this, since it can very easily recover from Solemn Warning/Dimensional Prison/Fiendish Chain/etc. You don't need to run White Night, it's just fun.

[/quote] I'm confused. You're telling me to dump the third into the Graveyard? I think I'm misinterpreting here. Yeah, I don't know about that. From my experiences with White Night... don't think I want to run him unless Monster Reborn gets banned, in which case, I probably would consider running him again.

.Rai Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 You dump so you can revive with Wyvern. Then, you use the other Red-Eyes you revive to revive the last of the Red-Eyes in the Graveyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Damn my memory. Well, the third improves consistency anyway. Then, the best way of getting the third is via various shenanigans with Return and Burial from the Different Dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've never had an issue with only two, though I guess I can try running a third again in spite of the fact that it hasn't done me much good before. Same with running another Totem Dragon. Don't know why, but they feel more... in the way. That's just me, though, I guess. But again, this is just personal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 But Formula's Limited and he's already running Glow-Up Bulb =/ And you don't even need Formula support in Disaster Dragon. There's no need to run mediocre cards just for one purpose that any other card could fill. Especially when that purpose is half-unneeded as well.

KurashiDragon Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I can understand why they're not running 3 REDMD sense I do the same but not running 3 wyverns seems a little confusing to me. Having 1 more wyvern than Metal Dragon can be very helpful Why are you not running any Dragon's mirror? For your deck it's very useful late game for being able to summon five headed dragon when future fusion is out of commision. I'd also suggest running another five headed dragon. It seems as though your trying to run 1 of every trap in your deck but that just doesn't work sometimes. You need multiples of Compulsory Evacuation device and Dimensional Prison to stop cards like Stardust Dragon from ruining your day. BTW Scrap Dragon would be an excellent card to add to this deck.

Also, at the time, but I haven't gotten around to addressing it, I only had 1 Compulsory and 1 D-Prison. Oh, and I don't have Scrap Dragon.
