Prophecy Help
So I've been wanting to try out the Prophecy archetype for a little while now, the only problem is I don't know how to approach it. I've read the page for them, and the Low Key article on them on TCGPlayer but noticed that a lot of the builds I found just spam High Priestess, and thats not really what I want from the deck. So do you think you could give me a little advice as to where to start with an anti-metaish Prophecy deck? Thanks Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 16:01, November 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * I know that High Priestess is the main focus, but the builds I've seen tend to rely on her and say she needs to be ran at 3. But I was going to use 2 so I don't have to rely on her too much. I was thinking something like 2 Breakers, maybe 1/2 Kycoo, Tsukuyomi, 2 Apprentice Magicians, and Gorz for darks and 2 Veilers. I know that Hanged Man helps get Spellbook Magician, Temperance, and Justice but I'm not really a huge fan of him even though I will most likely use him. I'm just not sure if using traps would be right since I would have to lose some speed and consistancy. I'll probably make a build later today and see what needs work. Thanks for the insight. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 15:32, November 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll definately try Tour Guide and Sangan, since I thought about adding them. I'll see what I can do for a deck now. Thanks for everything! Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 17:11, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

Just letting you know that if you want to look at my current Prophecy build its on my user page, it works out quite nicely as it stands now. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 21:49, November 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll probably just add in another Life since I open with a Wisdom most of the time. Out of the duels I played so far, which was like 10, I opened with atleast 1 Wisdom in about 6 of them and I hardly used Life. But at 41 cards it should still work fine with all the searching it does in 1-2 turns. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 02:02, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

hey dude hope you can help

I've been using this deck for a little while, it runs kinda slow. Could you tweak it for speed. Obvious keepers are Tyranno Infinity and Macro Cosmos as the deck name implies. Any help will be appreciated. thanks in advance!! Ravingrodent (talk • contribs) 17:21, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

Hello
I see that you have your hands full with things, by the way, do you know the link about that page you were talking about? I beleive it was called "The institution for better deck building" or something similar to that. I have some deck ideas (actually 2) but wasnt sure if you could help me with them. The first one is a gishki/atlantean&mermail deck. The second one is a Volcanic/Laval deck. Hopefully we could talk some more. Hope to see you soon!

2nd Deck
Please don't cry. I thought I'd give you what I have so far. Maybe you can help me fine tune it.

Since I wasn't allowed to build a Rock Stun deck (grrr), I decided to try more of an XYZ swarm style. Here's what I've come up with. I'll follow with a string of random thoughts.


 * Gogogo Giant - he calls out another monster, and he flips, setting off the effect of Attack the Moon!.
 * Gogogo Golem - Works with Giant and is a great blocker.
 * Block Golem - Yeah, calls back cards from the graveyard like heck. Must have in a rock deck
 * Chronomaly Colossal Head - Perhaps an odd choice, but his effect works so well with Attack the Moon! I thought it was a must have.
 * Revival Golem x3 Brings things back from the Graveyard. Oh yea.
 * Grandsoil the Elemental Lord Nice beater.  Couldn't resist throwing him in.
 * Giant Soldier of Stone is here more because he's a level 3, he fits the theme, and because, if flipped into defense, his DEF is 2000.


 * The spells and traps are pretty generic for rock decks except for a couple. I threw in a Shield & Sword to help cover Giant when he flips.  Zero Gravity gives me yet another means of capitalizing on Attack the Moon!.

So, that's it. No, I haven't play tested it. I thought I'd check with you to see if I'm on the right track first, and get any thoughts and opinions before I go any farther. Still not crying, I hope. -- - Kungfu-mama ( Talk ) 17:53, November 8, 2012 (UTC)

Nah, haven't gone to DN yet to test this. Wanted to be sure my logic was solid first, and tbh, it's a little hard for me to find the time to do that AND build the deck.

I was thinking I should have stuck with 3 Gogogo Giant, and was a little worried about whether I'd be dumping fast enough into the graveyard. Dust Knight would be good for that. I kept Giant Soldier of Stone at 3 for XYZ summoning purposes (Giant Soldier of Steel and Soul of Silvermountain), since the only other level 3's are Block Golem and Grand Mole, and I'd like to revive Block Golem when I'm able. I was considering 2 CotH - thought testing would tell me better if I need it. As for the Koa'ki Meiru - I was stuck between Sandman and Wall, since I'm relying on Attack the Moon to be my MST. Again, I figured the better of those two cards would come out in testing. Of course, you could stick the one not in the deck in the side deck to swap out as needed. -- - Kungfu-mama ( Talk ) 15:39, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

Hey sorry for the distraction but i need someone to response one of my forums, thought of if you can help me. lol Forum:Stardust VS Fire Fist Tiger SharkTenjo 14:15, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

Nephthy's test deck
So you asked me to make to build a deck around Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus as a test, so here it is. I used no OCG cards, as the main targets of DFF are not DN players, but real life players (as I know). Simple Frog deck, that can stall or help the summoning of Daedalus. More importantly, they can give you an advantage after using Daedalus or Neo Daedalus as they activate from the grave. Same goes for Slushy, which can revive Daedalus 3 times (or more, combined with Sea Lancer). The spell/trap support is pretty standard. Only special thing is Forgotten Temple of the Deep, this card is not just a Daedalus food, it's great with Swap Frog. It special summons, not returns as most of the cards like it, so I can use Swap's effect every turn, while I use Ronintoadin/Gachi Gachi as a sheild. I put in Moulinglacia, as Ronintoadin and Slushy can easily control the number of Water Monsters in my grave, it's rarely a dead draw, but I don't want to draw 3 of 1st turn, so it's on 1. If you draw the right cards and don't get OTKd in the first 2 turns, this deck is competitive. I beat Six Samurai and Agent decks sometimes, so no one can say a bad word about the deck. The only bad thing is that I can rarely use Neo-Daedalus, but I use the "weaker" version a lot.

Extra deck: 3 Gachi Gachi, 3 No96, and 1 Leviair + any other monsters, I use only these.

Optional cards: Feedback Warrior, more Moulinglacias, Froggy Forcefield.

I want to encourage you not to change your mind about restarting DFF. Give it a try, and if it fails after some weeks or months, then it fails, at least you tried and did it for a short period of time. I absolutely support the idea of DFF. Nephthy (talk • contribs) 11:40, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

 * Vs. Assault Mode Dragunities:

http://i.imgur.com/dOO6w.jpg - Yeah, Even Needle Celing would've worked here.

Vs. A Rabbit Deck: http://imgur.com/38rRQ Bottomless to shut down the Gazelles, last card in hand was Rekindling. I don't run 3 because it can become too big of a dead draw. Especially with the deck having no specific drawing engine.

Inabiri is never a dead draw, I just happened to open that first duel with a Flamvell Magician in hand and make a quick special summon. I just happened to start of the first duel with 3 Fire King Fire Cycles in hand, those monsters and a Needle Ceiling, I don't know if it's just my luck, but I don't like it at 3.

Anyways, Safe Zone was a matter of personal picks. I wasn't very fond of Horn of the Phantom Beast, nor did I like it. Plus, Safe Zone just happens to own Dark Armed Dragon, Master Hyperion, etc. It's my way of saying "here, have a -1".

I would play Horn, but I'd rather not, since even with Firedog and the draw, Firedog is one of few cards vulnerable to attack traps in the deck. I usually risk but I'm not that into equip cards, despite whut card economy says about it.

The only change I could possibly make to the deck is to add a Forbidden Lance or something to boost up Firedog plays, but Garunix does its job so well that the opponent is usually forced to set some Firedog Fodder, or waste Mirror Forces tring to save himself.

Inabiri is the reason why Goka is at 2. Once I get Inabiri out and start abusing those Traps, Fire Cycles and Garunixes, he's never dead. Even with 2 copies of him, he's still easy to abuse with my defensive trap lineup.

Any other questions?-- Let the Number take hold! 05:25, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

http://imgur.com/hZIKE I see Flamvell Magicians, Scrap Dragon, Dire Wolf and Inabiri getting along quite well in this screenshot, wouldn't you agree?-- Let the Number take hold! 09:24, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

DFF test deck.
First, let me apologise deeply for the lateness of this, I have just been swamped. First my computer refused to cooperate, and then I had to deal with 4 exams. On the bright side, I passed all 4. Now without further ado, here is the deck.

This deck works well because it does not surround just one strategy. We have a terraforming to retrieve an Endymion, along with a Demise of the Land which I just think is an amazing card. We have out typical spell layout for Photon, and the speed this deck goes through the monsters and the spells means, once I draw Daedalus, the field is almost always prepared for it. This deck can still go off and win without Daedalus, and has many powerful Xyz to use. Personally, I have made this deck the best I can, and I am proud of the result. Also, here is a screenshot of the deck.

Thank you for your time.

 * I thought I should respond to your points so here it goes.


 * Monsters:


 * The reason I had an extra Crusher was mainly because I felt I might need a late game Excalibur, and this could prepare me better.


 * The reason I put in Gainer...I would just say that is my own personal preference. While Shock Master is a good card, I've just never been that interested in it.


 * Spells:


 * I basically put in Demise of the Land as I find it amazing against Meta decks.  I also have my own rule in terraforming.  The number of Terraformings is equal to the number of field spells minus one.


 * I do see your point in poly, but I would only care to activate it if my chances looked good, otherwise I would probably play a less risky strategy.


 * Galaxy Zero is less preferred than Call of the Haunted, but I wanted to make the Spell and Trap line up mostly spells. With Royal Decree, Call would not have been a good idea.  I figured Decree would be good if I was relying on most spells, I hope that does make sense.


 * These are my reasonings, feel free to ask more.

Re:
The deck doesn't really seem that bad, a few questionable choices but every deck has their own interesting tech cards. Anyways I'm not really a fan of Goka, I understand why he is there since he does destroy a FIRE monster upon summon but I personally believe the slots could be used for something else, its an alright tech and 2200 atk isn't something to laugh at when you destroy a Garunix. I think Torretial can be better at 1 since Needle Ceiling can be used at anytime instead of a response to a summon, but I can understand the reasoning behind it. Maybe add in 2 Call of the Haunted, chains nicely to an opponent's MST or Heavy Storm to get Garunix on the field next turn. Also since the deck is mostly Beasts/Beast-Warriors another Dire Wolf would be nice, destoying Yaksha to destroy Garunix from hand can be powerful.

Also I find that Fire King Avatar Qilin to be a pretty good card none the less, have Qilin get destroyed by any means, pitch Garunix from deck, then SS Garunix with Monster Reborn/Call/Onslaught and it can devastate a field pretty nicely. And maybe another Wolfberk.

Overall I like the deck, I don't really see that much wrong with it. My build is more Xyz based than Synchro based but every duelist has their own style of play. If you want I can post my build up when I have time to see how I went with them, its still not perfect but it still runs like I want it to. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 05:28, November 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also I forgot to mention that MST can really help, since he doesn't really have a way of clearing backrow besides with Scrap Dragon, Heavy Storm and Dire Wolf, and a lot of the time the extra backrow destruction can really help. And maybe Compulsory Evacuation Device since its just a really good card this format. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 05:37, November 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * So I've been looking over the deck some more, and I've read everything that you took note on, and also noticed that Inaribi doesn't seem like it should work with only 2 Spellcasters. I know that he said that Inaribi isn't a dead draw most of the time, but I don't see how, maybe 2 Summoner Monks could help with the Spellcaster situation or even take a page out from TCGPlayer's Jason Meyer's newest What The Fix article and add in 3 Madolche Magileine. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 07:48, November 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * I purposely chose to run just 2 spellcasters. If I wanted to run more spellcasters, I would've made it Laval turbo and summoned Arcanite Magician a lot. But then whatever happened to card effect destruction? I chose to run Fire King version because they special summon a lot and don't really need their normal summon, so Inaribi isn't a problem. I decided to abuse it's more important effect, if you want a fire spellcaster deck based on Inaribi, try Fortune Ladies, that'll be fun.-- Let the Number take hold! 08:04, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

WDC Idea
Right, the suggestions page fossilized. Again. Well, we haven't had activity there for over a month, but this idea just came to mind. We've had Decks focused around single archetypes, but what about Decks focused around a single Number Xyz Monster? I'm sure certain Numbers can be put to particularly lethal use with a Deck built around them, like No. 30. Chaos Numbers and ZEXAL Weapons are also free game. --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 11:25, December 5, 2012 (UTC)

Fire King Tech Card
Hey, I've been working on the new Fire Kings and I trying to figure out if manitcore of darkness would be a good tech. It can +1 with many cards, remain alive for many turns with Garunix (not really necessary), you can ditch it with many fire kings, and it can potentially make a 1 turn photon strike bounzer, basilicock, or exa-beetle. I haven't been able to make it work, but it could be the consistency of the rest of the deck I'm using. Do you think it's a good card in this deck?

--4drummer9553 (talk • contribs) 06:52, December 8, 2012 (UTC)4drummer9553


 * I don't think Manticore of Darkness really does much, plus the real reason to play the Fire Kings is to just abuse common cards like Dark Hole, Torrential Tribute, or Needle Ceiling.

Holidays and DFF 2013
I'm all for my deck being used as the example, I have no problem with that. I just got lucky with him picking my deck, and also never got a reply back which kinda confused me. But I believe we can make better use of the Application Center's space, whether we make it for deletion notices or just stuff for the deckbuilders.

As for the rules and guidelines, they all seem fine right now nothing really that bothersome. Its just those who don't read them who get irratating. Also I kinda like Number Hunter's idea, but not that we shouldn't take decks that are meta but to put a twist on them to make them stand out from the others.

Also happy holidays to you Ace. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 05:04, December 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd have to say that it looks good, change Brio and maybe add in some other Xyz monsters. Enemy Controller would have definately helped with the overall theme, and maybe another MST.

I haven't really looked into that set yet, and I guess I will be now. Phantom Beast Planes seem like they could be fun with their token plays, and Harpies really did need that boost.

 * Now that I've looked at the Phantom Beast Planes and have tried out Hapies with their new support, I have to say Phantom Beast Planes really do look fun to use while Harpies are really awesome now. Its really something when you use Hysteric Party with 4 Harpies in grave to get out 2 Harpie's Pet Mirage Dragon for 4000 free damage in one turn.

Regarding your name?
What does the "SP" stand for in your name? I have noticed some people on DN include it in their names. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 04:26, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

DFF
Sorry about being absent from DFF, Just found out I wasn't getting mail if it was edited, so I had the impression it was silent for a while.--User:BROOKLYN RAGE! 16:29, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm back
Sorry for falling into the twilight zone there. Between house remodeling and the holidays, there just wasn't time to even think about logging in.

Anywho... I've also concluded that my schedule fluctuates far too much and is far too packed to become a deckbuilder. I'll help in other ways if you still need it, but I'll have to bow out from trying to come up to deckbuilder standards.

Good to see you were able to bring along some other recruits. Great work! And thanks for keeping the forum open. -- - Kungfu-mama ( Talk ) 18:57, January 30, 2013 (UTC)

Playstyle
I've tried different decks, over the years; currently, I'm working on Hazy Flames, Symbols of Rock Lizard, Floater Beat, Rat/Tenki Toolbox, and a Bounzer-themed Warrior Toolbox. With my Tiger deck, I've tried various permutations of it, including T.G. Wanghu, Flame Tiger Xyz Spam, and a mashup of Tigers and Hamster engine stun with Guard Dog, Ryko, and Whirlwind Weasel. I also tried my hand at a Jackal Lockdown deck, and a few meta decks, mainly X-Sabers and T.G. builds. None of them really satisfied me.

Looking back at my Tiger deck's strategies, over the years, I seemed to hit my stride with a build that was mainly beatdown with monster denial thrown in, back before Royal Oppression was banned. I have similar luck with Solemn Warning, but not as much. As I said on the thread I made on the Free Deck board, the key cards that seemed to really work for me were Wanghu, Photon Sabre Tiger, Super Rush Recklessly, Horn of the Phantom Beast, and Beast Rising to boost my monsters up to insane ATK.

Overall, it seems like I'm just confused on where to take my deck; I want to break out of the beatdown strategy that is my comfort zone, but nothing that I make to do that seems to work for me. I don't tend to rely on a side deck or an extra deck, despite wanting to, meta decks don't appeal to me, much... it's just so frustrating. What do you suggest I do?Vorpal Storm Pony (talk • contribs) 19:20, February 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * For the record, this is what my deck is, currently:


 * I know it looks fine, and for any other duelist, it likely would be, but here's my issues: as I said, Ape Fighter, Chain Dog, and Flamvell Firedog I almost never rely on, especially not to the degree that I do Wanghu and PST. I almost never use the Extra Deck, and I'm more reliant on beatdown tactics with Horn and using Super Rush Recklessly to get rid of monsters than Dimensional Prison or Fiendish Chain. In effect, except for the control aspect of SRR, BTH, and the Solemns, and the effect of Wanghu, all of my instincts force me to play this as a pure beatdown deck centered around the main Tiger trio, nothing more, and no changes I make to it seem to satisfy me. As I said, I felt most comfortable with this deck back when I was pumping my monsters up to ridiculous amounts with Beast Rising and stalling with Spiritual Forest, along with the summon-denial and beatdown tactics, but I wanted to get away from that in order to broaden my dueling chops. I honestly don't know if it's just me being stubborn, or if I'm just geared toward that particular playstyle, but there you go. Hope that explains things for you.

One thing you should know about me: you never, EVER talk about "plus one advantage" around me. I don't subscribe to it in the manner of "using a card is part of the loss to you". It's what I GET from the card that I care about compared to the cost of activating the effect (for instance, with SRR, I call it a 1 for 1, since the cost to taking out my opponent's monster is the loss of my monster, not the loss of my monster AND SRR itself). If that means I'm thinking about deck building "wrong", then so be it, you won't convince me to change that. Heck, by that logic, you could argue that Diamond Dire Wolf - the card I'm thinking would be better for me than SRR - is a -2, since you're losing not only a card on the field, but an overlay unit (two, if you decide to destroy Dire Wolf itself) just to kill one card. Funny how that kind of thing doesn't come up when people hype up a card like it, huh?

I've tried Book of Moon in various decks, and again, I NEVER end up using it, EVER; it winds up as a dead card in my deck. Breakthrough Skill I'm definitely looking into, but right now it's too expensive for me to get multiples of, so I'll have to deal with what I have until I can get the means to acquire them. Vorpal Storm Pony (talk • contribs) 00:22, February 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * ...No, I'm not going to give up on the tiger deck, not that easily. Call it a sunk cost fallacy, or me a fool, but I've put too much time and effort into it to just abandon it, now. I still have a few ideas left I wish to try with it, so wish me luck with that.


 * As for DDW suggested at 1... considering how expensive it is, I can see that. I would like to get a full compliment of them, but at this point I guess I can settle on 1 only.


 * Finally, while I'm not going to use the Koa'ki Meiru engine, I do have plans for making a Tenki toolbox deck, if my current Rat Toolbox deck doesn't work well. Vorpal Storm Pony (talk • contribs) 13:20, February 7, 2013 (UTC)

Rebel User
I was already leaving as soon as he act up on his third comment after I posted "I am nice guy". If you don't believe me, go check this topic. As Delta explained to me in the past - Forum is for anyone to using, not just for one user to be selfish and keep anything their way. Ordering me out? That's not noble way to tell other people what to do. I was trying to help him to understand how to using the Deck Template - that's all. That's not like I could order him to do each way I wanted him to do. I only teach him how to do it and advised him to keep it in his mind. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  12:39, February 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, I only teach him the details then leaving after his third and final warning (though I don't mention that there). I have not post anything after that. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  13:38, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

Re:
Ok, that's fair enough. I have a user willing to help so we have a possibility of another deckbuilder. However, numbers are still low, so would you mind helping me set up a deck contest? -- Evolution  Is The Key   16:37, February 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sure, retire. It's always funny to see how people are willing to throw away so much effort and spent time away. Have a nice life.-- Let the Number take hold! 16:46, February 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's time I had fun with, overall, but it's starting to get in the way of me just enjoying myself, so I think it's best I retire from DFF. -- Dark Ace SP ( Talk )  17:38, February 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, you see Ace. I was thinking to make it unique.  You test people for DFF by giving them a challenge.  So why not we give a few challenges?-- Evolution   Is The Key   17:42, February 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, a theme is obviously Burning Knuckler. Or getting Lord Tachyon out.  The kind of challenges I had in mind were, for example, a deck (not hieratic) that can get out Rank 8 monsters consistently,  I have a photon deck which fills that requirement. -- Evolution   Is The Key   17:46, February 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm helping out a little bit; I might only be semi-active though. Glad to help. :) --Spongebob456 (Talk) 17:54, February 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think a brilliant thing would be to see Rabbit used originally. I saw a Rabbit used in a combo to get Masked Beast Des Gradius.  I thought that was brilliant.-- Evolution   Is The Key   18:18, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

It's sad to hear you are leaving DFF, but if you feel you must retire, I guess this is the best for you. Relaxing is imprtant :). Enjoy yourself! Nephthy (talk • contribs) 18:55, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

Fran Ken V.Resk
Hey Ace,

While I'm still not un-retired, I got bored and made some decks, I already posted the Gogogogogogogogogo... one, but as I made the Fran Ken one today, I'm kinda ill & not up for typing out the deck list <,< >.>

http://i.imgur.com/vUzptZR.png

But that should do anyway :3

Talk to you again at some point :p

- Resk ( ✩ )( ☯ ) 16:10, February 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * And then I imediatly notice the above conversation <,<
 * So, which new person should I throw it at to type it up? :p
 * - Resk ( ✩ )( ☯ ) 16:11, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Need your opinion
Hi Ace: Not asking for a deck build, just your thoughts. Any chance there might be some synergy between the Fire Fist bunch and X-Sabers? If so, any idea which Fire Fist cards would be worthwhile in such a build?

BTW - Saw the above conversation re: your retiring. I'm a big advocate of stepping away from something like this if you are no longer enjoying it. You've done awesome work. You have a right to rest on your laurels. -- - Kungfu-mama ( Talk ) 17:26, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Question
I was wondering if you were aware of IlversayJ using your deck on TCG Player, I found it and it looked familiar, so I checked both and he seems to be passing it off as his own. He also did it last month with Brook's Sky Scourge deck. Not sure if we should do something about it. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 18:25, February 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry Ace I don't have any experience with them, I was planning on looking into them more in depth soon anyways. So I think I could help when I try out his deck. Hastydemon2 (talk • contribs) 20:18, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Re:
Really sorry about forgetting Ace, I was on my phone when I saw this, so I couldn't edit it straight away, then I forgot to reply. My deepest apologies.

The deck looks interesting, though I didn't run Pyroex simply for the fact that my Evol build fills the grave quite fast, meaning it could be quite useless. Also, my deck is more of a Soldde build, so I run Casi. I don't really see any other queries with the deck, bite I may not be the one to ask as mine is a bit more Rank 6. Did you ask Nexus? He just may be a better one to talk to. -- Evolution  Is The Key   05:21, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Blaster Blader! Dragon!
Made a mock-up,

Cerb is always good, and replaces, Magician can be a dead draw, I have 2 tenkai for some reason, should be 1, but i'll change it in a second, Beastlord Volcan clears so many situations when you don't have a Blaster Blade Dragon, apart from that, it's pretty much your core,
