Card Tips:Montage Dragon


 * This card works well in a "Malefic" deck since all "Malefic" monsters have high levels with the exception of "Malefic Parallel Gear".
 * Use this card in an "Earthbound Immortal" deck, to discard 3 "Earthbound Immortals", this way this card will have 9000 ATK, then use "Lightning Vortex" and attack for a possible OTK.
 * You can use "Monster Reborn" to "Special Summon" any Earthbound Immortal you send to the Graveyard through this card's effect (be sure to have a "Field Spell" on the field before doing so).
 * Another possibility is to use Dark Hole before you special summon Montage Dragon, thus destroying any face down monsters your opponent might have as well as the face up ones.


 * This card can be searched via "Witch of the Black Forest".
 * Montage Dragon can also be searched using "Masked Dragon's effect, but special summoning it like this leaves Montage Dragon vulnerable to attack. You can use "Compulsory Evacuation Device to bounce it back to your hand, or you can use "A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon to return Montage Dragon back to your hand while clearing the field of spells and traps.


 * This card is good in a high-level deck if you have Nomi-dead draws in your hand.


 * You can use "Summoner's Art" to get high Level monsters Normal Monsters (Eg. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon") to your Hand, send them to Graveyard in-order to summon this card and use "Birthright" to get the monster back.


 * You can use "Sangan" and "Witch of the Black Forest" to get "Yubel - Terror Incarnate" and "Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare" which will give "Montage Dragon" at least a 3300 attack.


 * By using "Backup Soldier" you won't lose that much hand advantage, being able to recover up to 3 "Normal Monsters", for the ability to summon "Montage Dragon".


 * This card works well with "Thunder Dragon" - discard one to get two of the pieces for "Montage Dragon". And this way, "Montage Dragon" will have a minimum of 3000 ATK.


 * In a Dragon deck, you can send high-level dragons such as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" to summon a "Montage Dragon" with around 6000 ATK (if you send from level 6 to 8 monsters) and then use "Dragon's Mirror" to summon yet another powerful monster like "Five-Headed Dragon" or "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon".


 * Level 10 monsters that can go in the deck, such as "Armed Dragon LV10", are especially effective to discard.


 * Discard 3 Dark monsters to summon "Montage Dragon" and use the 3 Dark monsters to summon "Dark Armed Dragon".


 * If you already have one Lightsworn in your graveyard and about three in your hand, you can discard them to summon Montage Dragon and prepare for Judgment Dragon.


 * In the Advanced Format you can possibly create an OTK by using "Sangan" in combination with "Limit Reverse". Recycle Sangan to get 3 Level 10 monsters, like "Yubel" into your hand. You can then discard all 3 "Yubel"s to Special Summon "Montage Dragon" with a combined attack of 9000.


 * "The Calculator" works great in a deck with this.


 * In a Wicked God deck if you become unable to summon them to the field you may ditch "The Wicked Avatar", "The Wicked Dreadroot" and "The Wicked Eraser" to ensure that Montage Dragon has high attack while filling the graveyard for "Dark Armed Dragon", "Dark Nephthys", "Dark Creator" and "Darklord Zerato".


 * Summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands or Senju of the Thousand Hands to add high level monsters to your hand.


 * Make a Deck with Normal Monsters and the cards "Heart of the Underdog" and "Dark Factory of Mass Production" to have enough monsters to discard for "Montage Dragon".


 * Use "Future Fusion", selecting "Five-Headed Dragon", and send 3 "The White Stone of Legend"s to the grave, then discard the 3 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"s that you got from their effects, to summon this card with 7200 ATK. Since "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is a Normal Monster", you can also use the cards mentioned above.


 * In order to avoid Dead Draws, try including high-level monsters that can easily be summoned alone, such as "Beast King Barbaros", "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast", "Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight" and "Cyber Dragon".


 * "Genesis Dragon" and "Herald of Creation" can be used to help Summon this card.


 * Use this card to fill your graveyard with high level dragons, and then use Decoy Dragon to summon one of them. Cards like Battle Mania can force your opponent to attack.


 * When Montage Dragon is on the field, beware of cards such as Book of Moon that can switch your Montage Dragon into defense mode.


 * A good card to send is Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon since it's 10 stars. Three of them would make Montage Dragon's ATK 9000. If you use eyes Red-Eyes Wyvern in your deck, you can special summon them from the graveyard later.


 * Montage Dragon is good in a "Sacred Beast" deck especially if you have multiple copies and are unable to summon them, as well as a "Gate Guardian" deck, when you have no ability to summon the pieces or the whole, it can easily have an atk of 7500.


 * If you run Montage Dragon in a plant deck you can send 3 Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis to the grave, Montage Dragon will have 7200 ATK and you can special summon the 3 Amaryllis during the end phase.


 * Montage Dragon works well with Earthbound Immortals and Dark Armed Dragon as you can send 2 Earthbound Monsters and one other Dark card to the Graveyard and then summon Dark Armed Dragon to potentially do 10000+ damage.


 * Send 3 Level 12 monsters from your hand to the Graveyard to have this card gain 10,800 ATK points.


 * You can Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon to the field and send it to the graveyard to destroy all cards on the field and Special Summon Montage Dragon from your hand and attack your opponent directly for a high amount of damage.


 * Use Future Fusion or Painful Choice to send 3 copies of The White Stone of Legend to the graveyard, giving you 3 copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon Dragon to your Hand to discard for this card and give it 7200 ATK.
 * If your oponent decides to give you 1 copy of The White Stone of Legend to your Hand for the effect of Painful Choice, discard it via Cards of Consonance to draw 2 cards and still get your Blue-Eyes White Dragon to your Hand.
 * This card actually works quite well in a Blue-Eyes Disaster Dragon deck as you will get a lot of hand advantage and high level monsters as well as being able to discard Red-Eyes Wyvern and Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon for another summon, as long as you don't normal summon or set, which you don't really need to do as it will have over 4200 ATK, or discard White Stone of Legend to search out Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
 * You can use Shooting Star Bow - Ceal and Mage Power to go for an OTK.
