    I haven't posted on the forum in forever, but I felt the need to post my new dragon deck here. I own a Nintendo DS, and also the Nightmare Troubador game for it. After dueling more on the game in a month than I have for my whole life, I decided to look at my deck and tweak it to a new level of perfection.

    A note to those reading this - I believe that the best way to build any deck is to have protection from anything. So, with that in mind, I give you my dragon deck. (Doesn't it seem like almost everyone uses dragons now?) Rate it, give me advice, whatever you want.



    Monsters (19)
    ----------
    x1 Horus the Black Flame Dragon Lv8
    x2 Horus the Black Flame Dragon Lv6
    x2 Horus the Black Flame Dragon Lv4
    x3 Blue-Eyes White Dragon
    x2 Paladin of White Dragon
    x2 Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands
    x3 Lord of D.
    x2 Luster Dragon (4 stars 1900 ATK, not 6 stars)
    x2 Dragon Dwelling in the Cave


    Spells (12)
    ----------
    x3 Flute of Summoning Dragon
    x2 White Dragon Ritual
    x2 Rush Recklessly
    x1 Swords of Revealing Light
    x2 Nobleman of Crossout
    x1 Pot of Greed
    x1 Heavy Storm


    Traps (9)
    ----------
    x2 Bottomless Trap Hole
    x2 Seven Tools of the Bandit
    x2 Magic Jammer
    x2 Dust Tornado
    x1 Ring of Destruction




    Some people say that Horus Lv4 is unnessessary. If you think so, please post a replacement of some kind for the two I have in my deck.

    It's basically just a deck meant for advaced play, but not advanced tournaments, you know. Just a really awesome casual-play deck. It would help if the deck could survive in a tournament, though.

    Thanks!
     
    Advenced play? Ring of Destruction and Pot of Greed got banned and Nobleman of Crossout Restriction is to 1 now.

    Try to add Snatch Steal, Heavy Storm, Premature Burial, Mystical Space Typhoon,
    Dark Hole, Shashing Ground and Metaorphsis, and take out a Flute of the Summoning Dragon for Book of Moon.

    Call of the Haunted and Royal Decree instead of 2 Trap Jammers. Magic Jammer is not needed.

    Take out the 2 Horus Lv.4 for Magician of Faith and Cyber Jar/Sagan. Try Spear Dragon instead of Dragon Dwelling in the Cave.

    Nice deck. better than mines.
     
    I still think that even with Zaikiro's fixes, this deck is still too slow due to a potential of 8 dead draws (the blue eyes and the higher level horus are obvious. Paladin+rituals can be dead draw as well because it needs to wait for manju to call the other necessary materials to complete the ritual.) But if you must insist on the double family line...

    -2 Rush Recklessly
    +1 Luster Dragon
    +1 Torrential Tribute

    Attack boost really isn't that necessary here considering how all of the monsters here are heavy hitters if they are ever summoned to the field successfully...

    Meh... I really don't like slow decks when the metagame is all about Cyber Dragons. Sorry >>;
     
    Speed....

    With Horus Lv.8 negating effect, not much protection is need from Lord of D and Royal Decree helps too. Shining Angel was better than it since it can summon Manju in order to get Blue Eyes White Dragon.

    I think this would give your deck more speed ^^'
     
    One problem with that, Zaikiro: Manju doesn't activate if he's special summoned. Therefore, that combo won't work.

    Oh, and Pot of Greed is banned, too. You missed that.

    What you could try instead:

    -2 Shining Angel
    -1 Pot of Greed
    +1 Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands (NO reason not to max out)
    +1 Lord of D.
    +1 The Dark Hex-Sealed Fusion

    +2 King Dragun to fusion deck

    This is serious: King Dragun WORKS WONDERS. I've tried him, and he is incredible. It's gotten rid of the problems that Lord of D. had (negating your cards too, not a dragon himself, too low ATK, etc) AND it has a permanent Flute effect to boot. THAT is true speed for dragons. All of a sudden, those "dead draws" that frostweaver mentioned are good ones.

    Opps.

    I must agree. King Dragum is good, but seriously underrated. Would'nt it be better to add another The Dark Hex-Sealed Fusion and add in something like Mystic Tomato for speed.

    It could work.
     
    To make the cards needed for the deck more available to me, because I don't own at least 3 copies of every card known to man, how's this deck for ya?

    x1 Call of the Haunted
    x1 Spell-Shield Type 8
    x1 Torrential Tribute



    I can get Torrential Tribute easily (I don't have it yet). Burst Stream of Destruction is a little trickier to get, huh? Oh yeah, I don't have a King Dragun, either. Everything else I own already.


    I decided to add the Mystical Tomatoes because they can help summon both Lord of D and Dark - Hex Sealed. If I happen to have already used my fusion twice in a duel, Mystic Tomato can summon another Mystic Tomato in it's place instantly. I absolutely agree with that effect. If I was being attacked by two of my opponent's monsters, and all I had out was a Mystic Tomato, I could use the effect and summon another Tomato (thereby avoiding the death of my Lord of D/Hex Sealed). THEN I summon the guy I need. Oh, yeah. Total speed AND insurance for King Dragun.
     
    Did'nt I just said that in my last post, about the speed with the Mystic Tomatoes? 0_0

    You could test the deck out with proxy to see if it works for you.

    Yes, you did. I just stated all of the plus-sides of using Mystic Tomato. You gave me the idea about using them, and I thank you. Sorry if it looks like I repeated you or something. I didn't mean anything by it.

    ??? Maybe I sound like an idiot, but what's a proxy? How can I test my deck?

    Oh no. I wasn not offended or anything ^^ not at all. I just noticed.

    About Proxys.

    You need card cases first.

    Then you take a card and flip it around to the back and put in the case. Then get a piece of paper, write down the name of a card and pit it in front of the card in the case. You pretend that the paper is the real card and treat it as the card that is written on it. It?s best to do when testing.

    Oh, good. Sorry about that.


    Anyway, about the proxy thing. It sounds like a good idea. I do own most all of the cards that will be in the deck anyways. Thanks.

    You don't have to have cases to have proxys if you have a good enough memory.:P
    Click to expand...
    The cases won't make the opponent notice what card is it. But that is true.
     
    I noticed. Sorry if that sounded negative. Dsareno. I was thinking you could use a different card instead of 1 Spell-Shield Type 8. Like Royal Decree for example.

    Great, except for one thing:

    -1 Flute (can go with the King Draguns around)
    +1 Premature Burial (you missed it)

    Also, try to shoot for 3 Manjus at one point or another...it's just a common, so it shouldn't be THAT hard to find......you should be able to find something to take out for it once you've practiced with the deck some...I'm not going to suggest anything because, to be rather honest, I can't really see anything that can go atm...

    Yeah. Good idea!

    I was thinking of Rivalry of Warlords, but I'll have too many non-dragons.

    Well, since I have only room for one, what about a DNA Surgery?

    -When you activate this card, declare 1 Type of monster. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, all face-up monsters become the Type you declared.-

    That way, if I have King Dragun on the field, my opponent cannot use a spell or trap on their own monsters, but I can. If one of my opponent's effects requires them to have a type other than dragon, they get screwed and can't use the effect. Because of Lord of D.'s effect, though, I'll be the one getting screwed if him and DNA Surgery are both on the field, because I don't think I can fuse him and Dark- Hex Sealed together, unless they are both in my hand when I do so. Lord of D. will stop me from using spells and traps, too. Oh, well. If DNA Surgery is on the field, I'll have to keep my two Lord of D's off the field.


    Zaikiro, Mullet, do you think DNA Surgery is a good idea?

    EDIT: Or, if not, I could just add 2 Premature Burials and lose 1 Flute. I was thinking along those lines before Ichapokemr posted, but now I see that's a good idea, too.

    Premature Burial's limited to 1. Just add in a Premature Burial for the Spell Shield...or do what I suggested earlier for the Premature Burial and add in a Magic Cylinder for the Spell Shield (if you can find one--if not, then Dimension Wall will work almost as well, and it's a normal rare too).
     
    Cool. I'll try to do that with the Dimension Wall or Magic Cylinder. Sorry, I didn't know Premature Burial is limited.
