Forum:A Counter Deck with Dragons?

Okay, so we know Dragons, by their nature, are based almost entirely on running things over as soon as possible. What I'm interested in is finding out if there's a way of creating a counter setup - ie, not running over things immediately, but rather allowing the opponent to think they have the upper hand, by allowing them to squish a lot of monsters early, and then having the match turn the tables right when the opponent least expects it.

Now, I know the best kind of decks for that revolve around Synchro. And potentially, the biggest of the Synchro Dragons is Red Nova Dragon. Not only that, but he protects himself quite nicely.

My problem is that he is easily taken out of the equation by what I call 'long turn' decks (I dunno if there's an official term for them, but the main one I keep seeing is Infernities). Also, Loop decks such as DarkWorld have a habit of keeping up the battle pressure while packing some nasty effects. These two in particular I see the most.

My current build involves Lavals, but Lavals only protect and support themselves, not Red Nova. On the up-side, they can keep the opponents distracted with their varied effects, which include swarming and burning.

But I'd like to know what you guys (and gals) suggest.
