Dragons, Dragons, Dragons, Dragons, and Synchro Dragons.

Strategic Summary:

Welcome back to my first Creative Deck Profile featuring three of the Dragon Rulers, as we finally welcome Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders back from its stay on the Forbidden Section of the F/L list. Redox joins Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms and Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos, alongside their baby forms in an amalgamation of Dragonic fury, while also managing to slot in a small Guardragon engine for funsies! If you weren’t around for their big starring role, the Dragon Ruler theme was well ahead of its time, featuring Level 7 Dragons that can Special Summon themselves by banishing 2 Dragons and/or monsters of their Attribute from the hand or GY to Special Summon themselves from the hand or GY. Additionally, when banished, each Dragon Ruler tutors a new Dragon of its attribute. This just seemed like a perfect fit for also debuting the new Sangen/Tenpai FIRE Dragon theme to my channel, as these Dragons are everything Yang Zing hoped to be – endless Synchro Summons during the Battle Phase.

Led by the Level 4 Tuner Tenpai Dragon Zhongdora (YGOrg Translation), this archetype manipulates either Battle Phase to your advantage, as Zhongodra, as well as the other Tenpai monsters, carry a Quick Effect to Synchro Summon during the Battle Phase. Zhongdora also can Special Summon a Level 4 or FIRE Dragon from the deck if a monster battles. Next up is Tenpai Dragon Baidora (YGOrg Translation), who tutors a Sangen S/T on summon, while also reducing battle damage you take from battles with your FIRE Dragons to 0. Finally, Tenpai Dragon Fadora (YGOrg Translation) rounds out the theme, Special Summoning a Level 4 or lower FIRE Dragon from your GY when summoned or when a monsters battles, plus it prevents FIRE Dragons from being destroyed in battle. Together, these three monsters can quickly rack up card advantage, even after you use them for a Synchro Summon of the theme’s first boss – Sangen Risedragon Bident Dragion (YGOrg Translation). This Level 7 Synchro Tuner recovers any FIRE Dragon when Synchro Summoned, plus, after 3 or more attacks are declared in a turn, Bident can Special Summon itself and destroy a S/T on the field. If you happened to bring back one of your Level 3 Tenpai monsters, you can Synchro Summon again for the theme’s big boss, Sangen Superdragon Trascend Dragion (YGOrg Translation), a Level 10 behemoth that changes all monsters to ATK position, forces your opponent’s monsters to attack if able, and that prevents your opponent from activating cards or effects during the battle phase. Like Bident, Trascend can also Special Summon itself from the GY if 3 or more attacks had been declared during a turn. Rounding out the essential cards of this theme is Brimming Sangen Manor (YGOrg Translation), a Field Spell that can tutor a Tenpai Dragon each turn, as well as making all FIRE Dragons unaffected by your opponent’s activated effects during Main Phase 1.

As I’m sure you’ve been able to intuit, this theme makes flurries of summons, bringing out Dragons with absolute ease. But if you throw in another escapee from the F/L list, Ib the World Chalice Justicar, you can start to put together even stronger threats. You see, Justicar can tutor World Legacy Guardragon on summon, and when sent to the GY, it can Special Summon Lee the World Chalice Fairy, which in turn tutors World Chalice Guardragon. Between that chain of advantage, the threat of Shining Star Dragon (YGOrg Translation) ready to turn a Level 8 Synchro in your GY into a Crimson Dragon, the recursion of your Level 7 and Level 8 Dragon Synchros with Scrap-Iron Sacred Statue and Synchro Overtop, you have plenty of Dragons to join your mystical suite of Dragon themes. Only fitting to bring in as many Dragons as possible for your triumvirate of Dragon Rulers to rule over. Let Dragons rule supreme in this fun build of Dragons, Dragons, and even more Dragons; a true Dragonic Attack!
