Dragon

Dragons are a powerful Type to contend with, often focusing on brute ATK strength and powerful Fusion Monsters, but most have special effects that add to their devastation.

As of now, the highest ATK monsters in the game, "Dragon Master Knight" and "Five-Headed Dragon" are Dragon-Types. In addition, the most powerful Normal Monster is also a Dragon, the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", including all its support cards. "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" and "Rainbow Dragon", and the famous OTK Maker Rainbow Dark Dragon are also notable. Plus two of the most powerful LV series, Armed Dragons and Horus are also Dragon-Types. Decks that run lots of high-level monsters may also consider Montage Dragon.

Dragons also have their own two Structure Decks, Structure Deck 1: Dragon's Roar and Structure Deck 13: Revival of the Great Dragon, whose TCG counterpart is Structure Deck: Rise of the Dragon Lords.

To date there are no Flip Effect Dragon-Type monsters.

The Dragon-Type is certainly one of the contenders for "Most Type-Specific Support Cards". Most of Dragon-Type monsters have the word "Dragon" in its card name. The word "Dragon" also exists in many non-Dragon Monster Card names, typically denoting a creature of exceptional power, such as "Cyber Dragon", "Blowback Dragon", "Solar Flare Dragon", and "Megarock Dragon".

A recent trend with multi-type Archetypes is having the trump card of the set be a Dragon-type unlike the rest of the monsters in the set, such as Rainbow Dragon for Crystal Beasts, Judgment Dragon for the Lightsworns, Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon in Harpie Decks, Dark Armed Dragon in DARK-based decks and Black Rose Dragon in Plant-based decks.
