Teleport Dark Armed Dragon (often abbreviated Tele-DAD) decks use Emergency Teleport (abbreviated as E-Teleport or E-Tele) to quickly Special Summon Psychic-Type Tuner Monsters, usually Krebons. The Tuner Monsters are then used with cards like Destiny Hero - Malicious to Synchro Summon Synchro Monsters, while at the same time putting DARK monsters in the Graveyard to Special Summon Dark Armed Dragon. Dark Armed Dragon is then used to clear the opponent's field and attack for game. If done correctly, this can occur as fast as one to three turns.
Before the March 2009 Lists, this was the top deck of the Shonen Jump Circuit, where often the whole Top8 of many tournaments was made mostly of these decks.
After March, the deck itself is technically dead, with Dark Armed Dragon, Emergency Teleport and Reinforcement of the Army Limited. It was succeeded by less-quick version of itself, which never gained an edge such as their predecessor, though still faring well in high-level tournaments. September's Limiting of Solemn Judgment however took away their primary defensive card.
