Dragons: The Terror of the Sky
Hey Fans! Its Ryan again writing another article...but this time I'm going to go away from my typical favorites (water, dagger, light, and fire) and write something for another section of fans out there...who also in the quest of trying to bring more originality in the game...the dragon duelists...
 
Thats right I respect you guys and will do my best to help you in this article. Now the dragon duelists have had a lot of things going against them for a very long time...1st they would get creamed by warrior swarms, then they got slaughtered by Hand/Control b/c of all the high tribute monsters made it very easy prey to the yata lock...and finally they were just slow...way to slow to compete against chaos (which is kinda funny...that CED was well a Dragon...go figure) ...well thats all about to change....
 
Ok I'm assuming everyone knows the concept of deck-thinning and speed. Contrary to popular belief deck thinning has a lot more reasons to play besides Exodia. The main reason you deck thin is to get to your best cards as fast as possible...This is why dragon decks can make a huge comeback...b/c now they have speed...that and yata is gone so u don't have to worry about hand-management as much.
 
Ok Troop Dragon was great and all and I still think u should play 3 if your playing dragons but then what...most people I know who need deck thinning after that turn to their Nimbles...a good choice esp. b/c it helps in bringing out all of your tribute monsters...But with Soul of the Duelist comes another great monster Masked Dragon
 
Masked Dragon: lv 4 When this card is destroyed by a result of battle, u can sp summon one dragon with 1500 att or less from your deck.
 
Thats right...we now have another Mystic Tomato, UFO Turtle, Mother Grizzly, etc, etc (oh and don't forget howling insect...also from SoD) Think searcher for Dragons...
 
You can now sp sum another Masked Dragon, or Troop Dragon, or Twin Headed Behemoth, Cave Dragon, or Baby Dragon...I would recommend sticking with just the 1st 3...
 
Anyways with all the speed in this deck u'll be getting those Lord of D's and Flutes in no time...that and both Masked Dragon and Troop Dragon let u sp sum their copies if they are destroyed as result of battle...so u'll almost always have monsters to tribute for your higher power monsters...
 
Or if u want to go with the current metagame shift...I suppose u could play the Level Up cards as well...
 
Oh and a great OTK move is with Delta Attack (only works with normal monsters, not effect monsters) Now what dragon has 3000 att and is normal...lol...wow thats 9000 direct damage right there...yeah u lose...
 
Well thats all for today's article...(Wow its short...lol...I know u didn't think it was possible...I didn't either) And I didn't make fun of anyone...I must be getting sick or something...lol...
 
Hope that helps you dragon duelists out there.

PS: do not ask for deck lists...I do not give them. I strongly encourage originality and owning your own deck...and the only way your deck becomes "yours" is if u personally spend the time and energy fine tuning it. But if u need help or ideas I'll gladly help u out.
