Horus the Black Flame Dragon

Overview
The "Horus" series is a series of LV Dragon-Type FIRE monsters, used by Taigo Sorano in the GX anime. It is powerful when used as a lockdown devise, and can utilize numerous support cards from Dragon-Type monsters or from FIRE-Attribute monsters - probably a good idea. It also comes with its own personal support card, Horus' Servant, which can help to protect your "Horus" from your opponent's card effects.

Playing Style
Similar to the Armed Dragon and the Masked Knights series, the "Horus" series is a LV, series, a set based on leveling up through its various forms in order to achieve its most powerful form. You can use cards such as Level Up and Level Modulation to quickly bring out the more evolved versions of the card. Due to these cards, it is possible for this deck speed to be very quick - but, due to dead draws and situational magic and trap cards, it can also leave you vulnerable to your opponent's attacks without any method of counterattack.

Since "Royal Decree" is often used in this deck, it would be a good idea to remove most Trap cards and replace them with Quick-Play Spell Cards. "Mausoleum of the Emperor" is also a good idea; it will help to bring out "Jinzo" and "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" quickly.

Horus Lockdown
The standard lockdown in this series, known as the "Horus Lockdown", is accomplished by summoning "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" and activating Royal Decree. In order to increase the power of this lockdown, you can use cards such as "Horus' Servant" and "Prime Material Dragon" to make it more difficult for your opponent to destroy "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" or "Royal Decree". With both their Spell and Trap cards useless, your opponent will only be able to use Monster cards against you - monsters that will quickly be crushed under "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8's" 3000 ATK points. You can also substitute "Jinzo" for Royal Decree, although "Jinzo", as a monster, is more likely to be destroyed than "Royal Decree".

In order to make this lockdown more powerful, you can add cards such as "Forbidden Chalice" or "My Body as a Shield" in order to negate monster effects. "Destiny Hero - Plasma" is not recommended, due to his difficulty in summoning, but if you add cards such as "Scapegoat" or "Grinder Golem", you can get him onto the field quickly. However, be aware that adding him will increase the number of dead draws in the deck, which is already perilously high.
