Strategic Summary:
Welcome to the first CDP of the month, and I’m starting off strong with the first of five type-centric builds planned for this month. It’s no surprise – the Dragon Type has had tons of support over the years, so much so that the ‘Dragon Link’ strategy emerged, centered around using the best Dragons out there to continuously Special Summon, enabling more and more powerful Dragons to hit the board. This deck just builds on that by adding more specialized dragons, building out its capabilities to be even that more versatile to tackle your opponent’s best threats.
I’m going to start with the Dragunity, the combo core of the deck, as they offer tons of Dragon material, tons of consistency through Dragon Ravine and Dragunity Remus, and a powerhouse of a boss in Dragunity Knight – Areadbhair, a Level 10 Synchro that can negate a monster effect activation. It’s also awesome that Dragunity Knight – Romulus exists, as it offers yet another path to Ravine or even Dragunity Glow if you need Dragunity Arma Gram to negate the effects of an opponent’s monster. Even if your Dragunity combos don’t work, you can always turn to the tried and true Chaos Dragon combos, as Starliege Seyfert is joined by Black Dragon Collapserpent and White Dragon Wyverburster for your low-level Dragon needs. Honorary Chaos Dragons themselves, the Bystial theme also enters the fray, with Bystial Druiswurm adding removal, Bystial Magnamut adding consistency, and Branded Beast giving you a spot removal.
Moving along, the next theme to join the fray is the newest Dragon archetype – the Tenpai Dragon. This theme of FIRE Dragons loves to endlessly Synchro Summon during the Battle Phase, letting you OTK out of nowhere. With the trimmed down lineup, they don’t serve as the core of today’s build, but they certainly still offer all the same OTK power if you successfully resolve Sangen Kaimen during the Battle Phase! Speaking of other niche utility options, that’s where one of the other Dragon Archetypes come in – the Amorphage… Hah, you must know I’m just kidding, as Amorphage Sloth is the only one coming out to play today, easily brought out from the deck by your Hieratic Extra Deck options, then locking the Extra Deck down behind it. Altogether this build may be a bit all over the place, but that’s what Dragons do – extend here, there, then out of nowhere a boss monster appears! Be your inner Dragon, with my newest take on the Dragon Link Strategy!

Primordial six samurai?
The only use for primordial would be for Chamberlain fo the six samurai
How about primoredial magikey (if there’s more primoredial released later on)
Hey Quincy, what do think about a Majespecter/Windwitch deck? Asking for an opinion rather than asking for a future deck
Yup! Hope you enjoy it. As with all of my previews, you can click the teaser image to see the video ahead of time, or you can wait for the article to be posted tomorrow!
As far as Primoredial Magikey – the Magikey don’t really want to have their Normal Monsters hit the field. In a perfect world, they’re sent to the GY as Fusion/Ritual Material, then brought back only to be used for Synchro Material. I’ll definitely explore the concept, but no promises there.
As far as WW/Majespecter, Majespecter’s new cards just don’t play well with other things. But if you use a trimmed down engine, then you’d be better off replacing them, except if they lead into Pendulum Combos. Windwitch does have a ton of cool things going for it; however, they need more in-theme support to truly shine at those things. That’s my initial thoughts.
Didn’t Windwitch hardly see play? Even as a deck engine…
I can only see 1 thing: Brickfest
.
Why? Too many high lvl monsters, which can brick the deck… Learn this the hard way lol. And Bystials as deck engine can either do:
1. Buff [the deck] as engine
or
2. Brick the deck.
It is a coin-toss deck at best. Fun, but you won’t like it, if it bricks, even in solo mode… I made Pure Valks in the past, (I know, unrelated, but still…) and they brick a few times
…
I mean, even I can come up with similar deck recipes in a few hrs… The deck itself is fun, [to play with] when they’re not brick due to several cards at 1 copy in the deck…
