{{DecksAZ}}''This deck is considered a '''Classic Deck''', this page is used to tell the history of a deck rather than how it is played now. This can happen either from mechanics of the game changing, changes from the "TCG" or "OCG" Forbidden/Limited List, or the deck has slowly lost it's ability to be played over time due to years of no support or neglect.''
''While not truly unplayable, the limiting of Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon on the "[[TCG]]" Forbidden/Limited list nearly destroys the original concept of the deck. However newer cards from the "[[Rise of the True Dragons Structure Deck]]" may prove as useful support.''{{See also|Hopeless Dragon}} == History ==To be updated
==Gameplay==
'''Disaster Dragon''' is an [[Aggro]] [[ControlLockdown]] deck that plays disruption strategies mixed with lockdown and high aggression to gain and maintain control of the board. It carries a lot of momentum and explosive power as the deck can consistently drop two or more monsters per turn without losing advantage and often times they will be big monsters. This is done through the use of the deck's backbone card, "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]". This card is one of the most powerful dragons in the deck, outclassed only by a potential "[[White Night Dragon]]", or "[[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]". Red-Eyes' effect allows for the constant re-use of monsters from the Graveyard, as well as the ability to bypass the Normal Summoning limit and the requirements for Tributes that many decks suffer from. As a result, Disaster Dragon decks are packing some of the most destructive, highest ATK monsters in the present Metagame because they can bypass the tribute mechanic required to summon them.
Through the usage of cards such as "[[Koa'ki Meiru Drago]]", "[[Exploder Dragon]]" and "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" the deck is capable of shutting down and eliminating a majority of plays made by the current popular decks. The deck plays like a toolbox, with "[[Masked Dragon]]" working to recruit the dragons you need for tributes, [[Synchro Summon]], [[Xyz Summon]], monster removal, etc and cards like "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon", "Divine Dragon Apocralyph", and "[[Genesis Dragon]]" allowing you to reuse, manipulate, or trade dragons around. Cards such as "[[Foolish Burial]]", "[[Dragon Ravine]]", and "[[Dragon Shrine]]" allow you to dump dragons into your graveyard faster while also aiding in the deck's inherent synergy, but some dragons such as "[[Yamata Dragon]]" or "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" cannot be Special Summoned, thus they are unable to bypass their two-tribute requirement via "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]" as most dragons would do. Instead, the deck utilizes "Keeper of The Shrine" or "[[Totem Dragon]]", a self-recurring dragon that can act as two tributes in order to Tribute Summon a Dragon-type monster. Being dragons themselves Keeper of The Shrine and Totem Dragon are viable targets to search with "[[Masked Dragon]]" or to dump with "Dragon Shrine". It can also be revived by Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon.
Variations includes:
==='''Light and Darkness Disaster'''===Focusing on lockdown lock down by summoning "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" via the "[[Totem Dragon]]" recruitment or "[[Keeper of the Shrine]]" (either via its their own effect effects or "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]"), as well as recycling him by the effect of "[[Divine Dragon Apocralyph]]" which can create an infinite loop, of course as long as you can maintain the cycle. "[[Dodger Dragon]]" is an optional aid (mostly used to prevent "[[Solemn Warning]]"and "[[Solemn Strike]]".).

This variant can also combined with other variants (mostly by adding "[[Blizzard Dragon]]s") for strengthening your position during grind games.
This variant also gets some nice boost from [[Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy]] in the form of "[[Tidal, Dragon Ruler of Waterfalls]]", which can provide another strong [[WATER]] Dragon-type monster and an ability for searching "[[Blizzard Dragon]]" when combined with either "[[Gold Sarcophagus]]" or "[[Sacred Sword of Seven Stars]]".
In the OCG, "[[Blizzard Dragon]]" and "[[Elder Entity Norden]]" open the possibility of summoning "[[Bahamut Shark]]", which grants the option of summoning "[[Toadally Awesome]]" from the Extra Deck. ==='''Spirit Well'''===
This variant utilizes "[[Yamata Dragon]]", which acts as a generator for hand advantage through inflicting Battle Damage with the reward of drawing up to 5 cards. This variant requires "[[Totem Dragon]]" as a consistent Tribute fodder for Yamata Dragon. The rest of the cards in this build is often identical to the Standard variant or can be combined with Light and Disaster.
==='''Catastrophe Dragon'''===
Runs "[[Gandora the Dragon of Destruction]]" to decimate an opponent's field and follow up with summoning "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]". Although not necessary, "[[Totem Dragon]]" and "[[Divine Dragon Apocralyph]]" can help you to recycle Gandora to wipe the field more often.
==='''Egg Turbo'''===
Or commonly referred as "The SOL", focuses on gaining immeasurable deck speed via [[draw]]ing power. This is done by utilizing "[[The White Stone of Legend]]" and "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", with some spell cards such as "[[Cards of Consonance]]", "[[Trade-In]]" and "[[Dragon Ravine]]". This deck can also utilize many Rank 8 Xyz Monsters like the enormous "[[Thunder End Dragon]]" or "[[Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis]]" for auxiliary destruction effects.
Due to having access to "[[Dragon Ravine]]", some players can even mix this deck type along with the core components of [[Dragunity|Dragunities]] for adding offensive power, but at the cost of removing "[[Totem Dragon]]" (due to half of Dragunities are Winged-Beast type). The infamous [[Dragunity Arma Leyvaten|Levyaten]]-[[Light and Darkness Dragon|Light and Darkness]] loop combo can also accessible in this type of build.
=== '''Project R.E.D. ''' ===
You can use the newly-supported "[[Red-Eyes]]" archetype cards to create a beatdown deck variant with significant burn damage. "[[Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon]]" can burn for 2400 LP once Gemini summoned after damage calculation and at the end of the Battle Phase. The before-mentioned card can open up Rank 7 Xyz with the original Red-Eyes B. Dragon to summon "[[Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon]]" or "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" You can also add "[[Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning]]" to destroy your opponents monsters in attack mode. "[[Black Metal Dragon]]" can equip itself to the above monsters to increase their attack power by 600 and it can search out ANY "[[Red-Eyes]]" monster, spell, or trap card. The final pieces of the puzzle are "[[Red-Eyes Fusion]]", "[[Return of the Red-Eyes]]" and "[[Red-Eyes Spirit]]". Additionally, the deck can fusion summon with relative ease the following monsters: "[[B. Skull Dragon]]", "[[Archfiend Black Skull Dragon]]", "[[Meteor B. Dragon]]", "[[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword]]" and "[[First of the Dragons]]" with "[[Dragon's Mirror]]", "[[Fusion Conscription]]", "[[Fusion Reserve]]" and "[[Fusion Substitute]]".
==='''Horus Control'''===
Focuses on Spell lockdown via "[[Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8]]". Although normally hard to summon, Disaster Dragon can outrun this problem by Special Summoning "[[Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6]]" via the effect of "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]", and further protect it from destruction with cards such as "[[Prime Material Dragon]]" or "[[Mirage Dragon]]", until it reaches it's final form. If combined with "[[Royal Decree]]", this deck can potentially lockdown several decks. "[[Level Up!]]" and "[[Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos]]" can also help in this variant.
==='''Assault and Disaster'''===
This utilizes "[[Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode]]" for additional control, by recruiting tuners such as "[[Delta Flyer]]" and "[[Dread Dragon]]". "Delta Flyer" is searchable by "[[Masked Dragon]]", and when combined with any LV 4 monsters, it can easily tune for "[[Stardust Dragon]]", any other level 8 or level 7 synchro, while "Dread Dragon" can search for the required materials.
==='''Pandemic Dragons'''===
Incorporates "[[Deck Devastation Virus]]" and "[[Eradicator Epidemic Virus]]" to effectively stop the opponent from [[Synchro Summon]]ing since most [[Tuner monster]]'s are below 1500 ATK, and "Eradicator Epidemic Virus" serves to shut down either Trap or Spell usage depending on what deck it's up against or user choice.
==='''Anti-Meta Disaster'''===
This build uses the same basic skeleton as Standard Disaster, but instead of "[[Totem Dragon]]", this build has more emphasis on [[Anti-Meta]] monsters such as "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]", "[[Doomcaliber Knight]]" and "[[Effect Veiler]]" to limit the opponent's options. It is designed to combat many popular meta decks, but with decreased consistency as consequences.
==='''Ninjutsu Disaster'''===Incorporates "[[Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo]]" for searching "[[Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation]]" to instantly grant access to needed Dragons in the deck, including "[[Koa'ki Meiru Drago]]", the four Adult Dragon Rulers (Currently Banned), "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]", etc. This grants the advantage of having quicker responses to varying threats that make the difference of winning or losing. One common play is activating "Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation" to target "Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo" and an opposing monster, send them to the graveyard, and special summon "Koa'ki Meiru Drago" to prevent the opponent from Special Summoning Light and Dark Monsters during the opponent's turn. This engine was originally introduced as replacement of the traditional "[[Masked Dragon]]" and "[[Totem Dragon]]"engine, which some players considered them it too slow in a fast-paced meta. HoweverCurrently, this doesn't mean that both engines shouldn't be run in the same deck. Both the Ninja and Masked Dragon engines can work well together, depending on engine is used to supplement the formatother Disaster variants. <!-- This is not an exact Decklist. Do not add multiples or staples. "-->{{Decklist|Recommended cards|effect monsters =* [[White Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon ]]* [[NinjaGrandmaster Hanzo]]" can also included, but since it cannot be Special Summoned outside of "* [[Ninjitsu Art of Super-TransformationKoa'ki Meiru Drago]]", it is not reliable to use. Ninjutsu Disaster can be combined with the following variants: ● Horus Control|synchro monsters =* [[Stardust Dragon]] ● Project R.E.D.* [[Stardust Spark Dragon]] ● Elemental Disaster* [[Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend]] ● Frozen Ray* [[Scrap Dragon]] ● Hieratic Disaster* [[Black Rose Dragon]]* [[Clear Wing Syncro Dragon]]There are some thing to note regarding Ninjitsu Art of Super* [[PSY-Transformation. Because Framelord Omega]]|xyz monsters =* [[Abyss Dweller]]* [[Castel, the text in the resolution section Skyblaster Musketeer]]|fusion monsters =* [[Elder Entity Norden]]|spells =* [[Reinforcement of the card effect states "send them to the graveyard", cards like Book Army]]* [[Instant Fusion]]* [[Diamond Core of Moon wonKoa't stop the card from resolving. Hence, both targets get sent to the grave and a Dragon, whose level is less than or equal to the sent monsters, gets special summoned. Because the card states "send them" not "send those targets", ki Meiru]]* [[Pot of Duality]]|traps =* [[Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation doesn't require both of it's targets to remain face-up during the resolution of the chain. Another thing to note is the fact that the card states "send", which does not imply "destroy". Hence, getting around card effects that require destruction to activate, such as Ice Hand, Fire Hand, Stardust Dragon, or cards that cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects such as Beelze of the Diabolic Dragon, El Shaddoll Winda, etc.]]* [[Starlight Road]]* [[Drowning Mirror Force]]}}
==='''Dragon King's Disaster'''===
This build combines the modern aspect of Standard Disaster deck along with supports from Dragon Fusion-oriented deck. Specifically, this deck focusing on Summoning both "[[King Dragun]]" and "[[Queen Dragun Djinn]]" for reinforcing your own field with strong Dragons and protection effects. "[[Hieratic Dragon of Gebeb]]" helps immensely, since it can pull "[[Divine Dragon Ragnarok]]" straight from the Deck for Xyz Summoning "[[Queen Dragun Djinn]]" and Fusion Material for "[[King Dragun]]" later on. For the other materials needed, there's "[[Tour Guide From the Underworld]]", which can pull "[[Versago the Destroyer]]" (which can act as Fusion Substitute). They can be used for Xyz Summoning "[[Number 17: Leviathan Dragon]]", then by detaching Versago, and having Ragnarok in your Graveyard, "[[King Dragun]]" can be Fusion Summoned via "[[Dragon's Mirror]]". "[[The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion]]" or "[[King of the Swamp]]" (together with "[[Polymerization]]") can also useful, either as backup or alternatives. "[[Golem Dragon]]" can also be added for near-perfect protection.
==='''Hieratic Disaster'''===
Recently popular among veterans, this Disaster Dragon variant utilizes the new deck-toolbox concept provided by "[[Hieratic Dragon King of Atum]]" instead of its traditional Graveyard-toolbox concept (due to the loss of "[[Future Fusion]]"). Atum can be easily Summoned with the combination of "[[Hieratic Dragon of Su]]" and either "[[Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit]]" or "[[Hieratic Dragon of Eset]]", coupled with numerous Dragon-type utility monsters such as "[[Delta Flyer]]", "[[Divine Dragon Apocralyph]], "[[Exploder Dragon]]", "[[Blizzard Dragon]]", "[[Koa'ki Meiru Drago]]", "[[Totem Dragon]]" or even high-level Dragons like "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]" or "[[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]" to address any situation.
==='''Hieratic Artifacts'''===
This variant is similar to the hieratic disaster listed above. However, its power plays rely heavily on triggering the newly acquired synchro dragon "Ultimaya Tzolkin" by setting the artifacts monsters or cards in your spell/trap zones so you can use them during your opponent's turn to stun and disrupt their plays. (This variant have more success against decks that use their extra deck thanks to artifact scythe). Also, as u set your cards in your spell/trap zones, you will get to special summon any level 8 or 7 synchro dragons, including "crystal wing synchro dragon".
Note that due to the fact that the artifacts are a part of the deck, koa'ki meiru drago can somewhat interfere and prevent them from being summoned and disrupting your opponents' plays.
==='''Elemental Disaster''' (Traditional Format only)===
Also known as '''Sandstorm Disaster''' (the name given by the deck's creator, Richard Clarke) <ref>[http://blog.coretcg.com/sandstorm-disaster-an-interview-with-richard-clarke/ blog.coretcg.com] Sandstorm Disaster – An Interview With Richard Clarke</ref>, it's the newest build of the deck introduced by [[Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy]] booster pack. Originally, this variant utilizes "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms]]", "[[Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders]]" and "[[Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos]]" bolstered with "[[Gold Sarcophagus]]", "[[Dragon Shrine]]", "[[Sacred Sword of Seven Stars]]" and "[[Queen Dragun Djinn]]" for adding massive power and consistency boost. In particular, "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms]]" is the best support for this Deck, due to its effect can search "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]" easily and most Disaster Dragon decks have vast number of [[WIND]] Dragon-type monsters. Because most of the [[Dragon Ruler]]s used are Level 7, this deck can utilizes Rank 7 Xyz Monsters like "[[Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack]]" and "[[Number 11: Big Eye]]" easily, while still retaining the basic strategy of Standard Disaster.
With the banning of the Adult Dragon Rulers on April 2015, this variant no longer sees play in the Advanced Format.
==='''Maximus Sentinel (Maximum Sniper)''' ===
Made possible with the release of [[Primal Origin]] booster pack, this variant heavily focused on utilizing "[[Diamond Core of Koa'ki Meiru]]" in conjunction with "[[Koa'ki Meiru Drago]]" as the central control element while also adding more explosive power with one of the strongest [[Koa'ki Meiru]] monsters in existence: "[[Koa'ki Meiru Maximus]]".
Due to this deck being able to utilize "Drago" more consistently than usual, this build can be downright terrifying for almost any [[LIGHT]]- and [[DARK]]-based strategies.
=== '''Rise of Disaster''' ===
With the release of [[Rise of the True Dragons Structure Deck]] and the [[Shining Victories]] booster pack, Disaster was given "[[Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand]]", "[[Arkbrave Dragon]]", "[[Dragon Spirit of White]]", "[[Dragon Knight of Creation]]", "[[Paladin of Felgrand]]", and "[[Return of the Dragon Lords]]" as additional support. This variant is dependent on "[[Dragon Knight of Creation]]", "[[Dragon Shrine]]" and "[[Dragon Ravine]]" to send level 7 or 8 monsters to the graveyard and utilizing "Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand", "Return of the Dragon Lords", "Arkbrave Dragon", and "Dragon Knight of Creation" to special summon sent monsters to the field.
Rise of Disaster can remove on field threats, more easily than most variants, by way of "Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand", "Arkbrave Dragon", and "Dragon Spirit of White" due to the following effects:
* Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand: If this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard: You can target 1monster your opponent controls or in their Graveyard; banish it, and if you do, this card gains ATK and DEF equal to the banished monster's original Level/Rank x 100.
* Arkbrave Dragon: If this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard: You can banish as many face-up Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls as possible, and if you do, this card gains 200 ATK and DEF for each card banished.
* Dragon Spirit of White: When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You cantarget 1 Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls; banish it.
Because the mentioned Dragons are Light, Koa'ki Meiru Drago can interfere with the player's ability to special summon the Light Dragons.
Many more variations exist and others will come as new cards are released with future sets and Disaster Dragon enthusiasts look for ways to improve the concept. Ever since [[September 2012 Lists]] severe limitations, this deck's players and innovators continuously improving them from time to time, following Disaster Dragon's renowned strength: adaptability.'
