Dracoslayer

"Dracoslayer" ( Ryūkenshi), sometimes called "Draco-Rival", is an archetype that debuted in Clash of Rebellions. The prominent monsters are all Extra Deck monsters that share a connection to other Pendulum-based archetypes that debuted in the same set as themselves. The remaining "Dracoslayers" are Pendulum Monsters that are the basis for Summoning the Extra Deck monsters.

Lore
The Dracoverlord conquered the entire world with his army of Dracofiends, using Dragon Alchemy to turn all life into his terrible minions. At some point after this, "Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer" lost his memories and was cursed to have powers similar to the Dracofiends. Believing Dragon Alchemy to hold the key to breaking his curse and unlocking his memories, the Dracoslayer continues his journey and resolves to fight the evils of the Dracoverlord.

Each Extra Deck form of "Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer" is a reference to "Majespecter", "Igknight" and "Dinomist" archetypes, respectively.

Playing style
This deck has Pendulum-Tuner Monster to Fusion, Synchro or Xyz Summon, which each Special Summons another "Dracoslayer" Pendulum Monster, to the Field, that cannot be used for the same type of Special Summon.

This allows for rapid Special Summoning of high Level, and a Rank 4, Monsters that each can spin a card on Field to the Main Deck, protect Pendulum Scales and search for any Pendulum Monster from the Main Deck respectively.

As "Luster Pendulum" tends to go through his own allies rapidly, it is recommended to run a searcher like "King of the Feral Imps" to be able to add another Pendulum Scale to the Hand in a pinch; should "Ignister"s first attempted push for damage be unsuccessful and to aid recovery. And "Daigusto Emeral" to help reload the Extra Deck.

"Master Pendulum, the Dracoslayer", unlike his Tuner-counterpart, is not restricted to "Dracoslayer" Extra Deck Monsters only and can be recovered by their effects. "Draco Face-Off" is great for loading the Extra Deck with Pendulum Monsters early in the game, but as a trade-off becomes more of a dead draw as the game gets longer; so it is at the Player's preference whether or not to run it at all.

Trivia

 * All three archetypes use Pendulum Monsters as a catalyst to summon powerful monsters.
 * They each have a trio of Extra Deck Monsters with the attributes of FIRE, WIND, and WATER.
