This is my warrior dragon deck that I have won a bunch of tourneys with, before I start entering tourneys again I hope you can fix it up. My opponents will be tougher in these tourneys. At least that is what I hear:
Monsters: 25
3 Blue eyes white dragon
2 Gaia the fierce knight
2 Curse of dragon
3 Lord of Dragons
2 Summoned skull
2 Mysterious puppeteer
3 7 colored fish
3 La Jinn
3 Battle Ox
2 Dragon Piper
Magic: 16
1 Germ infection
3 Flute of summoning dragon
2 Sword of dark destruction
2 Sogen
2 Invigoration
2 Remove trap
3 Polymerization
1 Monster Reborn
Traps: 8
2 Trap Hole
2 Reinforcements
1 Solemn Judgement
1 7 tools
1 Magic Jammer
1 Just Desserts
Fusion:2
2 Gaia the Dragon champion
total :49
The important combo I normally use is flute of summoning dragon+ blue eyes and curse of Dragon. And the dragon champion is just for some raw power when I need it. I use the remove trap and dragon piper just in case of DCJ, and the just desserts and magic jammer and evrything else is just to stall in case I dont have either remove trap or Dragon piper and there is a DCJ out. The major weakness is whether I dont have any good starters or I have only dragons out and there is a DCJ out. Please try to fix my deck!
Morning,
So it’s a Dragon Deck… mmmm lets see what we can do
First of all, your deck is too big. 40 cards is enough, any more and you will only pull out cards you don’t need and your draw-odds will be too high
Secondly, 27 monsters and 24 magic/traps (yes I included the fusion) this isn’t balanced.. must be equal, no excuses!
Lets take a look at the monsters now.
3 Blue eyes white dragon
* no, no, no… Ok, having a flute is good but what if you don’t.. or you do but no Lord of Dragons and you have 3 Blue Eyes in your hand!!
Yes it can happen and it will happen. You should only have 1 of these and trust me that is all you need..
2 Gaia the fierce knight
* This is in here for the fusion and isn’t worth it, remove it
2 Curse of dragon
* Good, not because of the fusion potential but because it is a 5-6 level card that if you DON’T get out the Dragon Combo will still be easy enough to get to the field. Add a 3rd if you can
3 Lord of Dragons
* Good, yes.. with the 3 flutes you have enough power here to draw out the dragons but as I’m telling you to lower the dragons you have You will need to lower the Lords too.. Make them 2 instead of 3
2 Summoned skull
* You already have 2 curse of dragons.. (3 if you take my advice) so remove these
2 Mysterious puppeteer
* Useless and you have no Ultimate Offering so it won’t give you more than 1000lp before dying
3 7 colored fish
* Good.. yes, very good
3 La Jinn
3 Battle Ox
* I am getting impressed, your deck is quite powerful..
2 Dragon Piper
* Fear of Dragon Capture Jar is not worth it.. I look that you have a lot of counter traps which is all you need.. Loose this for something else
… I have advice you to remove nearly half your deck, what should replace it?? Well seeing as you have a good attacking compliment already, defence.. Wall of Illusion, High Defence cards, useful effect monsters and more dragons. When I say more dragons I mean Crawling Dragon, Blackland Fire Dragon.. Ones that don’t require a 2 monster tribute to get out. You need to balance this combo. It should be powerful but not so powerful that if countered it means your done for.
Lets spy your magic/traps
1 Germ infection
* mmmm I have never liked this card and with the new Magic Ruler card “Angel Mirror” it can be put onto one of your monsters – If this card is vital, keep it.. If it often adds useless space just remove it, it isn’t worth it unless it keeps you winning
3 Flute of summoning dragon
* Drop to 2 like the LoD
2 Sword of dark destruction
* Nice card, good combination with the Curse or La Jinn but I advise you to look at the new Magic Ruler cards, there is a +700 atk card that can be used on ANY monster not just dark monsters, this would be better!
2 Sogen
2 Invigoration
* Now I dropped most of your warrior monsters and earth mons these 4 cards are worthless, replace them with yami perhaps
2 Remove trap
* Not worth it JUST to remove the Dragon Capture Jar, loose it
3 Polymerization
* Since I’m gonna tell you to remove the GTDC this is a pointless card, it just isn’t worth it due to the tribute costs if it fails… drop it
1 Monster Reborn
* That it? The only restricted card?? I suggest trading some of the cards I have advised you to drop (perhaps your BEWD’s or GTDC) for some rageki/dark hole/swords of revealing light etc.
2 Trap Hole
* Get 3!
2 Reinforcements
* Ok, quite useful especially with your Battle Ox as they won’t expect their 1800 or even their Dark Elf to loose
1 Solemn Judgement
1 7 tools
1 Magic Jammer
* Good traps, these are all you need to stop a DCJ (aside from the Jammer of course) and will help you counter any blocks on your Dragon Combo..
1 Just Desserts
* Can be useful but only one means you will have to keep the card close to your chest until its worth using
**
Brutal eh? Stripping your deck in 2? Well it needed it…
Dragon Decks are very powerful but rely around one heavy combo and I just thinned the combo out enough so that it is still useful but also so that it won’t end up killing you
Ok, to summarise
1.) Make sure you only have 1-2 (7-8 level) & 2-3 (5-6 level) cards in your deck
2.) Thin down your LoD and Flute to 2 so that you don’t end up with too many flutes and not enough dragons in your deck
3.) Reduce your deck ratio to 1:1 (monster:magic/trap) and reduce your deck down to about 40 cards
4.) Your attack monsters are good but you need more defense monsters. Read my construction guide to learn about making a good mix
5.) Get some better effect cards, Man-eater Bug, Magician of Faith etc
6.) Get a LOT more restricted cards.. you only have ONE and you need more!
7.) Have fun, play around and don’t make it a Dragon Deck or a Dragon & (“enter combo here”) deck.. make it a Dragon Deck with a helpful addition of effect/attacking/defending monsters
