Changes

A '''Chaos Dragon''' deck utilizes the Graveyard with a combination of [[Chaos]] monsters and "for their powerful effects with Effect Monsters with Send 1 Card to Graveyard or [[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal DragonMill|Milling]]"effects to fuel them. Originally, the overall design of the deck is based The earliest builds focused on the getting out "[[Disaster DragonChaos Sorcerer]] deck type", only more aggressive in playand "[[Black Luster Soldier -style. This build focuses on getting out Envoy of the Beginning]]": much later the "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]", "[[Dark Armed Lightpulsar Dragon]]", and Monsters that give this Deck its name. You can use "[[Chaos SorcererLightsworn]]". You can use monsters "[[Future FusionRaiden, Hand of the Lightsworn|Raiden]]" and "[[Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress|Lyla]]" with "[[LightswornSolar Recharge]] monsters", "[[Darkflare DragonCharge of the Light Brigade]]" or and "[[Dragon RavineReasoning]]" to send monsters to the Graveyard to summon as a mill engine. "[[Lightpulsar DragonCard Trooper]]"was originally used to mill 1 to 3, or but has lost favor to speed up the setups for summoning both utility of "[[Dark Armed DragonKuribandit]]" and "[[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the BeginningMathematician]]", which offer better control on what to send to the Graveyard.

There are many cards that can be incorporated into this deck, for example "[[Dimensional Alchemist]]"; which can return any banished "[[Red-Eyes Wyvern]]Lightpulsar Dragon" is the main beater being able to your hand or combo with revive itself easily, while "[[Eclipse WyvernDarkflare Dragon]]" or speeds up "[[Gold Sarcophagus]]Lightpulsar". This deck does not rely heavily on Synchro Monsters, although some useful Synchro Monsters such as and setups summoning both "[[Stardust Dark Armed Dragon]]", and "[[Black Rose Dragon]]Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning", . Once a reasonable amount of cards have been milled it is recommended to stop focusing on milling or risk running out of cards to draw too fast and "[[Dark End Dragon]]" can also includedlose automatically.

===Dragonsworn/DSN Reset Deck===This Deck is based on a combination between [[Lightsworn]]s and Dragons that relies on 3 different dragons; "[[Judgment DragonGalaxy Cyclone]]", "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal DragonBreakthrough Skill]]", and "[[Genesis DragonSkill Prisoner]]", though you are some of the few Spell/Trap cards that can easily use [[Chaos]] monsters and [[Dark Armed Dragon]]. You will also need "[[Red-Eyes Wyvern]]" to prepare for be played from the "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]" setup. In this build, only a few trap Cards are necessary: "[[Mirror Force]]", "[[Threatening Roar]]"hand, "[[Dimensional Prison]]"or milled, and "[[Beckoning Light]]". The strategy is to mill your deck to get your Dragons and Lightsworns into the Graveyard, summon "[[Judgment Dragon]]" to clear the field and then swarm the field with Dragons to attack. "[[Genesis Dragon]]" can also useful to prevent yourself from facing a decking-out scenario. The deck's strength is completely based on your ability to fill your Graveyard and then revive your Dragons using "[[Genesis Dragon]]" and "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]"used next turn again by banishing them.

A good combo is This Deck relies heavily on Special Summoning powerful monsters with devastating effects in order to use overpower and OTK the opponent. It can also create Level 8 Synchro Monsters consistently due to the synergy of "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal White DragonWyverburster]]" to Special Summon , "[[Gragonith, Lightsworn Black DragonCollapserpent]]" (which replace themselves with the other when sent from the field to the Graveyard , but not when detached as Xyz Materials), and tribute it for "[[CelestiaRaiden, Hand of the Lightsworn Angel]]", activating its effect to mill your Deck further and destroy 2 cards.

This variant can also integrate "[[Sky Scourge Norleras]]" and "[[Phantom of Chaos]]" - this is based on a Japanese build known as "'''DSN Reset'''" (Dragonsworn Norleras Reset). This build revolves around using Lightsworns to mill your "[[Red-Eyes Wyvern]]Lightpulsar Dragon", "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal DragonCaius the Shadow Monarch]]", and "[[Sky Scourge Norleras]]Chaos Sorcerer" and any high-ATK Dragons (also open up Rank 6 plays after their effects are used. With "[[Gragonith, Lightsworn DragonConstellar Ptolemy M7]]" is recommended due being able to return monsters from the amount of its ATK it will have due Graveyard to the hand, milling of other Lightsworns as well. It can also be Special Summoned via "[[RedBlack Luster Soldier -Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]"). When you pull Envoy of the Beginning"[[Sky Scourge Norleras]]" and "[[Phantom of Chaos]]" combo, your opponent will find themselves with or other powerful monsters is no field longer at risk of being milled and no hand to compete with, while you can banish your "[[Red-Eyes Wyvern]]s" next turn to regain field advantageunusable.

===Twilight Milling the Deck early to mid game sets up the Graveyard in order to banish LIGHT and DARK monsters to Special Summon the Chaos===A '''Twilight''' Deck is a mill-based design using monsters. "Darkflare Dragon", "Card Trooper", "Raiden, Hand of the Lightsworn", "[[Charge of the Light Brigade]]", and "Solar Recharge" are used for this strategy. Using "[[Tour Guide From the Underworld]]" to Summon "[[LightswornDante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss]] monsters" was also used, but the limiting of "Tour Guide" in April 2015 has made this option unreliable.

Key cards include:* [[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal DragonDragons Collide Structure Deck]]* [[Lightpulsar Dragon]]* [[Red-Eyes Wyvern]]* [[Lylacontains many of the cards used in this Deck, Lightsworn Sorceress]]* [[Rykothus making it easier to build. Many of the cards required that are not found in Dragons Collide have been reprinted, Lightsworn Hunter]]thus making this deck an affordable but formidable option for duelists.

This sample monster line up allows The idea and theme of Chaos and the controller to mill cards from their deck to the Graveyardbattle of LIGHT vs. Lyla serves as Spell/Trap removalDARK was introduced, while at which led to one of the same time fueling "[[Lightpulsar Dragon]]"'s summoning requirements from most consistent card themes in the hand. "[[Redhistory of Yu-Eyes Wyvern]]" is included because it serves as an alternative to summoning "[[RedGi-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]"Oh! that still shapes the game today.

A February and May 2008 saw the release of ''[[Phantom Darkness]]''and 'Chaos'[[Light of Destruction]]'' Deck specializes respectively. These two sets would further the theme of the struggle between light and darkness, reinforce the notion of Chaos in banishing DARK and LIGHT summoning conditions, and bringing back introduce some of the most powerful monsters to pressure date in "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]" and "[[Judgment Dragon]]". Both cards would shape the opponentmeta drastically as [[Tele-DAD]] would wreck havoc and "Dark Armed Dragon" would reach a staggering $250 price point. Lightsworns had several cards appear on the Limited list as well as both Dark Armed and Judgment Dragon. The end of 2008 saw the release of one of the most powerful Dragon specific cards in "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]".

Key cards include:* The "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal DragonLightsworn]]* " archetype in Light of Destruction revolved around [[Dark Armed Dragonmilling]]* [[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy , which sends cards from the Deck to the Graveyard. This random milling allowed the player to fill the Graveyard with monsters rather quickly to fulfill the summoning condition of "Judgment Dragon" while triggering monster effects along the way. "Card Trooper" was already a great part of this strategy and "Lightsworns" reinforced it tremendously. This mechanic would become important to the Beginning]]* [[future of Chaos Sorcerer]]* [[Dimensional Alchemist]]* [[Lightpulsar Dragon]]* [[Divine Dragon Apocralyph]]and its new incarnation.

This build has greater focus In March 2009, "Chaos Sorcerer" became Limited to 1 after 2 ½ years on the classic [[Forbidden list. Chaos]] monsters. "[[Dimensional Alchemist]]" Sorcerer would flip flop from Limited, Semi-Limited, and "[[DUnlimited for the next few years.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation]]In September 2011, " can be utilized to recover any banished monsters. You can banish monsters via "[[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]]"became limited to 1 after 6 years of being Forbidden. After spending some time in Forbidden, "[[Chaos Sorcerer]]" or "[[Lightpulsar Dragon]]" and use Alchemist's effect to get them back. A powerful card that can be included in this build is "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]", which can give rise now Limited to possibilities for a OTK1.

With the release of new The ''[[LIGHTDragons Collide Structure Deck]] and [[DARK]] support '' hit the scene as one of the best Structure Decks to date. This structure deck introduced two new Chaos monsters in the forms of "[[Structure Deck: Dragons CollideDarkflare Dragon]], these deck types will evolve further from the " and "[[Disaster Lightpulsar Dragon]] deck type". Both decks have had the original Chaos Summoning condition and their own unique effects. "Darkflare" can banish a card in either player's Graveyard by sending a Dragon-Type monster from the hand and another one from the ability Deck to punish your opponent for destroying your monsters; but this deck type, just like Disaster, requires adequate forethought the Graveyard. "Lightpulsar" can be Summoned from the Graveyard by sending a LIGHT and skills DARK monster from the hand to make the correct decisions and avoid misplaysGraveyard. When building either deck keep in mind your goal: It also Special Summons a Level 5 or higher DARK Dragon from the Graveyard when it is sent from the field to either grind away your opponents resources the Graveyard. Its synergy with [[Twilight]] or destroy them for opposing you with [[Chaos]]. Check out the [[Twilight]]; [[Chaos]]"Darkflare", and more importantly, [[Hopeless "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]", and made these Dragons an excellent addition to the [[Disaster Dragon]] articles for further supportDeck.

===DragonSworn/DSN Reset=======Monsters====* The third unique card was "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]* [[Red-Eyes Eclipse Wyvern]]* [[Prime Material ". It banishes a LIGHT or DARK Dragon]]* [[Genesis Dragon]]* [[Divine Dragon Apocralyph]]* [[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]* [[The White Stone of Legend]]* [[Gragonith, Lightsworn Dragon]]* [[Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner]]* [[Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress]]* [[Rykofrom the Deck when it is sent to the Graveyard by any means. When "Wyvern" is banished, Lightsworn Hunter]]* [[Jain, Lightsworn Paladin]]* [[Celestia, Lightsworn Angel]]* [[Judgment Dragon]]* [[Sky Scourge Norleras]]* [[Phantom of Chaos]]* [[Plaguespreader Zombie]]* [[Chaos Sorcerer]]* [[Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End]] (traditional format only) * [[Super-Nimble Mega Hamster]]* [[Gorz banished card can be added to the Emissary of Darkness]]* [[Destiny HERO - Dogma]]hand. Its synergy with "Darkflare Dragon" and milling created a viable engine for this new deck.

====Spells====* "[[Foolish BurialBlack Dragon Collapserpent]]* " and "[[Solar RechargeWhite Dragon Wyverburster]]* [[Hand Destruction]]* [[Charge " continued the theme of light and dark while working together. Each monster required the player to banish 1 of the opposite Attribute in order to special summon them. Each monster also searched a copy of each other when they were sent to the Light Brigade]]* [[Gold Sarcophagus]]* [[Monster Reincarnation]]* [[Pot Graveyard, giving Chaos Dragon a bit of Avarice]]====Traps====* [[Dimensional Prison]]* [[Royal Decree]]consistency and field presence without losing advantage. Their effects do not miss timing, so Tributing or Synchro Summoning allows the second Dragon to be searched These dragons would become essential to Chaos Dragons and the form it has taken today. They are among the last "Chaos" support the Deck has gotten to date. This would require the Deck to look elsewhere for support and strength.

===Chaos Dragons=Deck== It should be noted that this deck has an easier time summoning Dark Armed Dragon than its Lightsworn counterpart, because the use of Ravine makes the setting up of the Graveyard much more easier and precise to control. ====MonstersStandard Chaos Dragon==={{Decklist|Recommended cards|monsters=* [[Dark Armed Dragon]]

Chaos Dragons relies on a high speed play style in both filling the graveyard and special summoning monsters, making them susceptible to [[Macro]] decks. Also, the deck shares a weakness with most of the meta decks: Anti-Special Summon cards such as "[[Archlord Kristya]]" , "[[Evilswarm Ophion]]", and [[Vanity's Emptiness]] can easily cripple this deck. "[[Necrovalley]]" can prevent banishing or access to Graveyards, making any attempts to Summon Chaos monsters near impossible. "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" can also prevent the effects of most Chaos monsters, including "[[Eclipse Wyvern]]" and "[[Darkflare Dragon]]". Despite having originated from the same Dragon deck type origins; the Cards like "[[Disaster DragonShadow-Imprisoning Mirror]] deck can, ironically, also stop this deck dead in its tracks, due to it having access to " and "[[Koa'ki Meiru DragoLight-Imprisoning Mirror]]" (which can torpedo prevents the summoning Trigger effects of any Chaos light and dark monsters). It is also able to utilize a wider array of Side Deck options such as "[[Electric VirusLightpulsar Dragon]]", "[[Chaos Trap HoleNight Assailant]]", and "[[Rivalry of WarlordsRyko, Lightsworn Hunter]]" (which ensure that any non-Dragon Chaos monsters cannot interfere) and ". [[Light and Darkness DragonVanity's Emptiness]]", making it harder for Chaos Dragons to contend. Overall, this deck shares most of its weaknesses with the and [[Hopeless DragonSkill Drain]] can heavily distrupt and stop this deck typealthough, as of April 2015, these two cards are now limited to 1.
