"'''Dragon Ruler'''" (Japanese: {{Ruby|征|せい}}{{Ruby|竜|りゅう}} ''Seiryū'') is a [[series]] of [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] [[Effect Monster]]s consisting of two smaller groups: [[Level]] 7 monsters whose [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] always have a sum of 4600, and lower-Level monsters that act as miniatures of the Level 7 monsters.
The series is infamous for its historically high power level in the ''[[OCG]]'' and ''[[TCG]]'', with all of its members having been added to the Forbidden Lists of both ''OCG'' and ''TCG'' from 2013-2015, and not being removed from the list until years later.

=== Weaknesses and counter-strategies ===Cards that can shut down or slow this deck are cards that stops the opponent from banishing, discarding, or prevent Special Summoning* The Deck's playstyle is directly countered by:** Anti-banish floodgates (e.g. Having both a "[[Mind DrainImperial Iron Wall]]" and "[[Soul Drain]]" on the field will completely shut down this Deck, but "[[A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon]]", "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", "[[Stamping Destruction]]", "[[Dust Tornado]]", and "[[Royal Decree]]" can eliminate this threat. While "Mind Drain" is active on the field you'll be prevented from using "Dragon Ruler" effects that banish/discard from the hand)** Anti-Special Summon floodgates (e. While "Soul Drain" is active on the field you'll be prevented from using "Dragon Ruler" effects that banish/add from activating from the Graveyard and Banished Zoneg. Cards that prevent players from Special Summoning, such as "[[Archlord Kristya]]", "[[Evilswarm Ophion]]", "[[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo]]", "[[Crimson Blader]]" and also "[[Barrier Statue of the Abyss]] and "[[Barrier Statue of the Heavens]]" can prove problematic as this Deck relies heavily on Level 7 and higher monsters. "[[Dragon Capture Jar]]" can prevent your Dragons from attacking, "[[Summon Limit]]" can prevents Xyz Summoning Rank 7 monsters indirectly, while also hampering your Normal Summon and other Special Summons)* The Deck is heavily disrupted by anti-Graveyard floodgates (e. Also, "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]", "[[Chaos Hunter]]" or "[[Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer]]" prevents banishment attempts, effectively blocking any Dragon Ruler's Special Summon as wellg. "[[Banisher of the Radiance]]", "[[Banisher of the Light]]", "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" and "[[Macro Cosmos]]" can banish the Dragon Rulers), rendering them un-Summonable or at least, forcing cards like "[[Dragoncarnation]]" to retrieve them back. "[[Goblin of Greed]]" also prevents as it cuts off the player from using the discard-based effects of all the "Rulers" themselvesDeck's Graveyard recursion.
