Forum:Dragunity Deck

Whoever at Konami had the idea to mix Dragons and Winged Beasts is a genius. The 2 Flying types are joined in unity... or rather, Dragunity!

This deck is all about Dragunity monsters; naturally, there's going to be a couple of odd-looking choices for this deck. First of all, there's 3 of every basic Dragunity monster except Tribul. Here's the run-down on them:
 * Phalanx: When equipped, it special summons itself. This is amazingly useful for synchro summons with the Winged Beast Dragunities.
 * Black Spear: Also quite useful for Synchro summons, because it's a tuner that summons Winged Beasts.
 * Dux: Summon it and it becomes a 1900 ATK beatstick at least. Quite good with Phalanx for a level 6 synchro.
 * Legion: With the swarming going on, suddenly being able to clear your opponent's field on a whim sounds pretty good.
 * Tribul: This is only in as 2 cards, mostly because unlike the other Dragunities its effect activates when special summoned as well.

As for the non-Dragunity monsters, there's Flying Kamakiri 1 to search out whichever I need. Debris Dragon can special summon Phalanx or Tribul for Synchro summons. Strong Wind Dragon can be a quite good beatstick with piercing, punishing defensive play. Behemoth's special summoning effect is perfect for Strong Wind Dragon or Synchro Summons, and it's even WIND. Finally, Lava Dragon is the only non-WIND monster of the group. It can special summon Phalanx/Black Spear/Behemoth from my hand/grave, so it's a good swarming pick.

For spells, Foolish Burial is king, sending Phalanx to the grave or Winged Beasts to set up for Black Spear. United we Stand makes use of the swarming. Rising Air Current allows for some pretty huge monsters very easily. My Body as a Shield can block Torrential Tribute, Mirror Force, and Bottomless Trap Hole without it needing to be o n the field. Monster Reborn has the ability to bring back whatever I need. MST does what it normally does. De-Synchro is something of a tech card, with the ability to deal with a Stardust Dragon and other cards very easily, or to cycle between my own Synchros quickly. Finally, Heavy Storm can deal with troublesome cards (such as Skill Drain, which would mess this deck up).

There's quite a few traps, but I think that's for the best. Icarus Attack can make good use of some of my Winged Beasts (especially Tribul, whose use is limited at best once summoned). Burst Breath can take out a lot of monsters at once, and if used with a powerful enough monster could easily clear the field. Mirror Force can deal with a swarm of monsters. Waboku blocks OTKs and can make cards such as Honest and Kalut useless. Miyabi makes good use of the swarms as well, getting rid of troublesome opposing monsters. Finally, Torrential Tribute can block a swarm of monsters.

For the extra deck, I've got Vajuranda, which can become a frankly incredible card; I can use it as a 3800+ beatstick, or equip Phalanx, summon it, and go for level 8. Gaedarg is a great card, with an amazing search engine that is easily abusable with De-Synchro. Gaebolg isn't quite as amazing, but it can really pull its weight in the damage step, boosting itself to at least 3200. Of course, I don't especially want my Winged Beasts removed from play, so it stays at one. Goyo Guardian's theft effect can be very useful, setting up for Synchro summons. Dragonwing's burn effect is frankly really good, and worth having: Black Rose Dragon is always worth having as a last resort. Stardust is also always worth it; so in my opinion is Thought Ruler Archfiend, which can protect itself from effects that Stardust cannot (IE: Brain Control, Magic Cylinder, etc.) Catastor goes in at 2 for its effect and ease of summoning in this deck; Legion equipped with Phalanx will do it in a flash. Dark Strike Fighter, the famous finisher, is another must-have; finally, Red Dragon Archfiend has the ability to tear down walls, so it goes in.

Tell me what you think of this concept deck. Runer5h 03:33, 15 August 2009 (UTC)Runer5h
