Dracoslayer
"Dracoslayer" (
Contents
Lore[edit]
The Dracoverlord conquered the entire world with his army of Dracofiends, using Dragon Alchemy to turn all life into his terrible minions. At some point after this, "Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer" lost his memories and was cursed to have powers similar to the Dracofiends. Believing Dragon Alchemy to hold the key to breaking his curse and unlocking his memories, the Dracoslayer continues his journey and resolves to fight the evils of the Dracoverlord.
Design[edit]
Etymology[edit]
All "Dracoslayer" monsters have two-word name with a title following them. In all of these names, the first word always has the syllable "ster" (スター sutā) as their second half, and the Extra Deck "Dracoslayer" monsters have the first syllables of their corresponding archetypes' names as the first half of the word. The second word always starts with "P".
In Japanese, the second word in the "Dracoslayer" monsters' two-word names is written in the form of a single Latin character (the first character of the word), with the full word reading being applied to it as furigana. For example, the name "Luster Pendulum" is written as ラスター
Members[edit]
The archetype, viewed together with the "Dracoverlord" archetype, can be divided into three sub-series and one standalone monster:
- The Pendulum Monster forms of "Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer" and "Vector Pendulum, the Dracoverlord", depicting their standard forms
- The Extra Deck/Ritual Special Summon Monster forms of "Luster Pendulum" and "Vector Pendulum", depicting their evolved forms
- "Master Peace, the True Dracoslayer"
- Three monsters visually related to "True Draco" monsters released in Darkwing Blast
The archetype and its related archetypes all feature a thematic emphasis on Field Spell Cards. Each of these Field Spells depict interactions between characters within the storyline, often between multiple archetypes.
Standard Pendulum Monsters[edit]
Within these "Dracoslayer" and "Dracoverlord" cards, both archetypes feature 1 Pendulum Normal Monster with the Pendulum Scale of 3, and 1 Pendulum Effect Monster with the Pendulum Scale of 5.

Playing style[edit]
This Deck's main monster is "Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer", a Pendulum Tuner Monster that can only be used to Summon its Synchro, Xyz, and Fusion counterparts. Each of these monsters can Special Summon another "Dracoslayer" Pendulum Monster to the field to Special Summon a different counterpart. This allows for rapid Special Summoning of powerful monsters that each can return cards to the Deck, protect Pendulum Scales, and search for any Pendulum Monster from the Main Deck respectively. As "Luster Pendulum" tends to utilize many monsters as Materials to Summon its stronger forms, it is recommended to use recycling cards such as "Jar of Avarice", "Pot of Riches", and "Daigusto Emeral" to keep the Summons going. "Master Pendulum, the Dracoslayer", unlike its Tuner counterpart, is not restricted to "Dracoslayer" Extra Deck Monsters only and can be recovered by their effects to fuel any Extra Deck Summon. "Draco Face-Off" is great for loading the Extra Deck with Pendulum Monsters early in the game, but becomes a dead draw as the game drags on.
