Comments? Questions? Complaints?

Can I also do Entermate? That looks fun to make too! Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 15:46, April 18, 2014 (UTC)

No, that might be unfair as we might not have enough spaces for everyone to do two, but you're free to experiment with something else for your personal use. --Dark Ace SP (Talk) 19:52, April 18, 2014 (UTC)

I take it that Dragons of Legend cards are usable, correct? All of the cards are officially legal on April 25. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 14:05, April 19, 2014 (UTC)

You are free to use them. We'll hold a contest on that pack in the near future. --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 01:08, April 20, 2014 (UTC)

I changed my mind because there is something I want to test out. If I don't like it, I'll switch back to Shadoll. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 11:04, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

"A light shines forth from the roaring earth, to the soaring wind, to the flaming spirit, to the passing sea and from the bright sun, giving birth to a new savior of a new era! Come forth, Gongfu, Cosmic Dragon of Brilliance!!!"

I was really tempted to make an Avatar the Last Airbender reference.

Anyways back to the deck profile. As you may notice, I actually did not add Water Dragonstar Bishiki and Wind Dragonstar Horo because it added too much space because I had a better idea in mind.....Junk Doppel! I know it's been redundant but cmon, it's one of the coolest combos ever! If none of you guys are familiar with it, here's how it goes :

Have one level 1 tuner in your graveyard and Junk Synchron and Doppelwarrior in your hand.
Normal summon Junk Synchron, special summon that level 1 tuner via effect. Then special summon Doppelwarrior due to his effect.
Synchro summon with Junk Synchron and Doppelwarrior for T.G. Hyper Librarian. Then special summon two Doppel Token due to Doppelwarrior's eff.
Use the remaining tuner and one of the token to bring out Formula Synchron. Draw 2 due to Librarian and Formula. The last token is up to you.

So I thought: why not make this into a Shooting Quasar Dragon deck? Yes naturally speaking, Cosmic Dragons could do this by themselves but it's slower compared to this combo. Here's how you can bust out the combo!

Have Junk Synchron, Doppelwarrior, and any Dragonstar monster and Dragonstar Materialization set.
After you activate Materialization when any Dragonstar became destroyed, special summon Fire Dragonstar Shungei and Light Dragonstar Rifun.
Synchro summon Librarian using those two cards.
Normal summon Junk Synchron and proceed with the Junk Doppel combo.
You now have the materials ready to bring out Quasar.

Anyways that is what the deck focuses on: Quasar and sometimes Gongfu. Feel free to leave some comments after this competition and tell me what you think of the deck. Until next time, chao! Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 04:26, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

And I've returned from my holidays! Hello again! Ahem...I digress...

This archetype seems to put a heavy focus on consistency. Blade can search and summon almost any monster in the deck, Clasp, after being summoned by Blade, can add almost any monster in the deck to the hand and Halbred does the same after inflicting battle damage.

The enhanced searching ability of Heroics allows for slightly frivolous but still helpful cards - namely, Chance and Advance. Because Blade can discard them as summoning fuel whenever they are not required, they'll stay useful (and the feeling when you double Excalibur's already doubled 2000ATK...hoo-boy).

The deck uses three main ways to summon XYZ monsters - two copies of Double Lance, the effect of Thousand Blades and Goblindbergh plus any other LV4 monster. This can be extended upon if Halbred is special summoned first, giving access to XYZ monsters which require three materials (Extra Sword is an alternative as well).

Spells and Traps are pretty much a standard affair, all in the name of pushing the opponent a little, keeping the weaker monsters safe until they have a chance to XYZ summon. A nice example of this is Battleguard Howling, which returns an opponent's monster to he hand in response to an effect or attack. And it burns too.

Extra deck monsters are also nothing too special. However, in most liklihood only the Warrior-Type slash Heroic monsters will be summoned, due to the restrictive effects of Blade and Lance. Chromace (talk • contribs) 02:47, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
