'''Dragunity''' is an [[archetype]] released in Contrary to their current state, the [[Duel Terminal]]. The term "Dragunity" is deck historically had a portmanteau lack of the words ''Dragon'' and ''Unity''. Their effects mainly revolve around equipping any [[Level]] 3 or lower [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] monsters in your [[Graveyard]] to your [[Winged Beast]]-Type boss monsters in play (in the sense of the Dragon-Types transforming into weapons, or the Winged-Beast relying on generic options like "DragunityStardust Dragon" monsters , "uniting" with their Red Dragon Archfiend"steedsor " as Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon"Dragunity Knights")to grant field presence. Because of their heavy focus on sending monsters A classic way to the Spell & Trap Card Zones, the combine "Dragunity" archetype monsters with some generic options is often compared to the Synchro Summon "[[Crystal Beast]]Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg" , to use its effect to search and then discard "[[Cyberdark]]Mist Valley Baby Roc" archetypes. They also utilize powerful Dragon-Type [[, which special summon itself directly after being discarded, enabling the Synchro Monster]]s, although they require Dragon-Type [[Tuner Summon of a relatively generic level 8 monster]]s as well as Winged Beast-Type non-Tunerslike the aforementioned ones. All of the '''Dragunity''' monsters that have been released so far are [[WIND]] monstersHowever, so "[[Flying Kamakiri 1]]" and "[[Gozen Match]]" can be useful along with some other WIND support cards; and because many of them are Winged Beast-Type monsters, the Deck can run "[[Icarus Attack]]". The Dragon-Type monsters in this archetype so far all have armor which either covers most release of their body ("[[Dragunity Phalanx]]Knight - Ascalon"), or they have a piece of armor that resembles, and is named after, a weapon (i.e. "[[Dragunity Darkspear]]Knight - Areadbhair"). By contrast, the Winged Beast-Type monsters seem to be named after historical warriors (Ex. - "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]" is named after the common solider in the Roman army). Their archetype symbol is the green emerald for the [[Dragon]]-Type deck gained their own boss cards with abilities that banish opponents' monsters, and for the [[Winged Beast]]-Type monsters is the green emerald surrounded by a gold outline of wings. As with the "[[Blackwing]]" archetypeeffective monster negation, there is a heavy distinction between the Tuner monsters and the non-Tuner monsters in terms of appearance. Similar to "Blackwings", the non-Tuner monsters are all humanoids in bird costumes while the Tuner monsters are all small dragons <!-- Note: this isnalso residual effects when they't Dragon-Type monsters since it's just saying that they are dragons -->(whereas the "Blackwing" Tuner monsters are all small birds)re destroyed.

==Playing style==The main purpose of "DragunityKnight - Romulus" decks is to have versatile and easy [[Synchro Summon]]s. "[[Dragunity Phalanx]]Remus" is act as the searchers for the key card here - itarchetype's a level 2 Tuner monster that Special Summons when it is equipped to a monster. Thanks to the effects of "[[Dragunity Dux]]" spell and "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]"traps, you can easily summon Level 5 or 6 Synchro Monsters - however, if you decide to Synchro Summon most importantly "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]" with "Dux" and "PhalanxDragon Ravine", you can use one the main consistency engine of the deck's most powerful combos. "Vajrayana" is Besides searching for resources, each one also has a Level 6 monster second effect that can also equip a Level 3 or lower [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] provides ways for more Synchro Summons. The "Dragunity" monster from the Graveyard. Because Tuners also emphasize the use of "Once per turnCards of Consonance" effect as an essential part of "Phalanx" resets when it is sent to the deck, providing draw power while simultaneously setting up the Graveyardfor combo plays. Lastly, if you equip "Phalanx" it can Special Summon itself again and you can [[Synchro Summon]] a Level 8 [[Synchro Monster]] - effectively turning one card in your hand into a Level 8 monster from your [[Extra Deck]] (typically "Stardust Tempest, DragonRuler of Storms"). You can also equip "Aklys" to "Vajrayana" so when you send "Aklys" is highly recommended to be teched into the Graveyard to double "Vajrayana" ATK you can destroy 1 card on the field. Another fast combo to Synchro Summon Level 8 Synchro MOnsters is deck to use the Level 6 "[[Dragunity Arma Mystletainn]]". Its effect lets you special summon it by tributing search a Dragunity Monster, Dragon and then it equips dump a Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type "Dragunity" WIND monster from , preferably one of the Graveyarddeck's combo tuners. Equipping With the plentiful search and draw engines, the "PhalanxDragunity" archetype has a very reliable and then Special Summoning will allow you to Synchro Summon a Level 8 Synchro Monsterstable game plan.

This combo only requires Due to the synergy with Dragon, Winged Beast, and WIND monsters in general, the Deck can also be combined with splashable cards like "DuxBlackwing - Zephyros the Elite" in your hand and , "PhalanxGaruda the Wind Spirit" in your Graveyard, "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" and it is incredibly simple to set up with "Hieratic Seal of the help Heavenly Spheres". They are also one of the few archetypes that can benefit from "[[Dragon Ravine]]Windwitch"support, as they are unaffected by the latter's WIND monster restriction. With it, once per turn, you can discard a card to either add a (All "Dragunity" monster from your Deck to your hand or send any Dragon-Type monster from your Deck monsters are already WIND monsters). These series of cards are highly complementary to the Graveyard deck as “Windwitch - Ice Bell” acts as essentially turning any a one-card in your hand into either a gateway to "DragunityCrystal Wing Synchro Dragon" version of "[[Reinforcement of , a powerful monster the Army]]" or "[[Foolish Burial]]Dragunity", which makes combos easyarchetype already utilizes.

However, the The high-level "Dragunity" monsters have many alternate strategiesfunction very differently from the other main deck monsters. Even without Synchro Monsters, the archetype can hold its own in battle: "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]Arma Mystletainn" takes out tough monsters with its effect - you can send an equipped Dragon-Type monster to the graveyard to destroy one of your opponent's face-up monsters. This is especially useful a combo extender, providing material that facilitates further Synchro Summons and even Xyz Summons, and with "[[Dragunity Aklys]]Knight - Luin", as when it is equipped and sent to also unlocks the Graveyard, one card on the field is destroyed. As such, one use of the main "DragunityUltimaya Tzolkin" combos is to Normal Summon . If "LegionnaireRomulus"or another Link monster is in the GY, equip "AklysMystletainn", can easily facilitate the summon and send it to the Graveyard to destroy one your opponent's Faceomni-up monsters and another one negate effect of his/her cards"Borreload Savage Dragon", in a devastating one-two punch that costs you nothing. However, this can be countered by using itself with most likely "Enemy ControllerPhalanx"-since . "AklysDragunity Arma Gram" activates first (as Chain Link 2)is an extra weapon that is typically easy to summon after your initial combo plays, you and can chain "Enemy Controller" and steal their monster (this works if you only also aid link plays. Both Armas have one more monster) to get it killed by "Phalanx" effect. This also works synergy with the second effect of "[[Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana]]Glow", which can send (whose graveyard effect allows you to special summon a card monster in the S/T zone equipped to itself to the Graveyard to double its own ATK until the end of the turn (which usually isn't used since a "Stardust DragonDragunity" is preferable). If you equip and then send "Aklys" to the Graveyard, you will end up with a 3800 ATK monster that turn while destroying one of your opponent's cards, allowing for big finishes. ====Recommended cards==={{Decklist|Dragunity<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.

When you summon "[[Dragunity Arma Leyvaten]]", equip "Light and Darkness Dragon" to it. Whenever it or "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" is destroyed, your field will be destroyed by the effect of "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]". Then, use "Light and Darkness Dragon's" other effect to Special Summon "Leyvaten" from your graveyard, re-equip "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" to it and repeat. The only weakness in this loop is cards that can remove the two monsters from play, or send them back to the hand or deck. Note: Due to the wording on "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]"'s third effect, if a "[[Dragunity Arma Leyvaten]]" isn't in the graveyard when it goes, you can't summon it back on the field because the field didn't get cleared before you picked the monster to summon back. One way to counter this is to have a second Leyvaten in your graveyard ready to take its place. ====Recommended cards=========Monsters=====<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.

It can also protect your "[[Dragon Ravine]]" from any destruction effects. * "[[Reborn Tengu]]": As well as being a good floater, you can use it with "Legionnaire" and "Phalanx" to Synchro Summon "Trishula" and lose no advantage. It also sets up your Graveyard for "Pot Saga of Avarice". * "[[Cards of Consonance]]": This card can be very good in a "Dragunity" deck. It's a 2 for that sets up your combos. However, the strongest "Dragunity" decks don't use a lot of targets for this card and aren't as likely to actually draw them as in Dragon Draw Exodia, so "Cards of Consonance" isn't as useful as it is in other decks. * "[[Icarus AttackEmperor]]": While potentially useful, "Icarus Attack" is usually less than effective since in most cases you will be Synchro Summoning, not destroying cards with "Legionnaire".|normal traps =* "[[Pot of AvariceGuardragon Cataclysm]]": This deck sends monsters to the Graveyard very quickly thanks to its Synchro Summons, discards from "Cards of Consonance" and "Dragon Ravine", and plain destruction by battle. "Pot of Avarice" rewards the filling of the graveyard with two new cards, as well as a chance to get another use out of used "Duxes", "Darkspears" and/or "Legionnaires". * "[[Terraforming]]": This card is Back to the easiest way to search out "[[Dragon RavineFront]]", so running two or three is recommended. This card can also serves as discard fodder for "[[Dragon Ravine]]"'s effect, so it will never be dead draw. * "[[Future Fusion]]": This card can fill the Graveyard with 5 [[Dragon]]-Type "Dragunity" [[Tuner]] monsters (most notably "[[Dragunity PhalanxMetaverse]]") and summon "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]" two turns later. However, the best "Dragunity" decks don't use more than four Dragon-Type monsters. * "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]: Combine with "[[Future FusionOmega Judgment]]" to fill the grave and have a massive monster two turns later. It may not stay on the field for a long time, but it will give you lots of access to quick "Dragunity" combos.|counter traps =* "[[T.G. Hyper Librarian]]: "Dragunity" decks can easily Synchro Summon level 5 Synchro Monsters with "[[Dragunity LegionnaireOubliette]]". Afterward, you can do the standard double Synchro Summon with "Dux" and "Vajrayana", and you will draw two cards. * "[[Blackwing Centur- Zephyros the EliteIon True Awakening]]": Although it's not a "Dragunity" monster, it is useful for "Dragunity" because you can return a "Legionnaire" to your hand after using its effect and Special Summon "Zephyros" or return a "Dux" to your hand after Special Summoning "Phalanx" and still get to Synchro Summon "Vajrayana" since "Zephyros" is a Winged Beast-Type monster. * "[[Foolish BurialMannadium Reframing]]": Sending "Zephyros", "Aklys", and "Phalanx" to your Graveyard to set up combos.|continuous traps =* ""[[Dragon's Mirror]]": Allows access to "[[Five Headed Dragon]]". While "[[Future Fusion]]" has the weakness of limited monsters in the deck, you will be likely sending multiple "[[Dragunity Knight - VajrayanaLegion]]" to the graveyard. The downside is you can't re-use your combos with "[[Pot of Avarice]]" so it's advised to use it as a last resort only. * "[[T.G. Warwolf]]": Due to Etude of the fact that Dragunity decks should speical summon "[[Dragunity Phalanx]Branded]" almost every turn bringing this guy out is easy and he leads to level 9 synchros with "[[Dragunity Dux]]" and level 8 synchros with "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]". * "[[Genex Ally Birdman]]": Help return a used up "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]" or a "[[Dragunity Dux]]" that has its effect negated by "[[Effect Veiler]]" also leads to level 7 synchros with "[[Dragunity Dux]] " and level 6 synchros with "[[Dragunity Legionnaire]]". * "[[Royal Decree]]": Protects "Dragunity" monsters from Traps.}}

==Weakness=Weaknesses ===Due to the reliance on "Dux", "Senatus", and the Tuner monsters to be in the Graveyard, hand traps like "[[Effect Veiler]]", "[[Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit]]", "[[Called by the Grave]]", "[[D.D. Crow]]", as well as removal effects that trigger upon its Summon, such as cards like "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]", can be effective ways to disrupt the strategy. The first weakness was addressed with the release of "Senatus" and "Divine Lance", that can equip "Dragunity" Tuners directly from the Deck.

In the competitive sceneAlso, Dragunities have almost completely wiped out during this September 2011 format due to this Archetype is considered having too many weaknesses. One of them is their signature Field Spell "[[Dragon Ravine]]"as with any Graveyard-reliant Deck, which the strategy is the core vulnerable to effects like that of most Dragunity decks. "[[Mystical Space TyphoonDimension Shifter]]" can be chained to "Dragon Ravine's" effect, which means nullifying their main search power and gave themselves -1 advantage due to the cost already paid. "[[D.D. Crow]]" and "[[Chain Disappearance]]" are used to Banish "[[Dragunity Phalanx]]" and "[[Dragunity AklysDifferent Dimension Ground]]", while or "[[Macro Cosmos]]" and "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" paralyze the deck further, due to their Graveyard-reliant strategy. "[[Maxx "C"]]" will take advantage all of their constant Special summons, putting more mind pressure on any Dragunity players. "[[Effect Veiler]]", on which can easily paralyze the other hand, stops the Dux-Phalanx-Vajrayana combo in their tracks, leaving your monsters more vulnerableDeck.

Synchro Summon decks(mainly with Plant Synchro engine) is the most dangerous, due to the fact that they can Special Summon large amount The sequence of monsters (sometimes even 10 or more Special Summons in one turn), and also having many counters in both their Main and Side Deck, completely outspeed Dragunity in many ways. Despite the numerous disadvantages they had, "Dragunity" Decks also have ways of dealing with these cards. "[[Debunk]]" (which is even a passable Main Deck card in this format due makes them vulnerable to the common use of "[[Maxx "C"]]Nibiru, "[[Gorz the Emissary of DarknessPrimal Being]]". However, and if the goal of the turn is to Summon "[[Effect Veiler]]Areadbhair") stops the aforementioned cards, while starting with "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]Vajrayana/Barcha" completely annihilate any and all banishing attempts. , or "[[Malefic Stardust Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon]]" (or even with the "[[Card Guard]]Windwitch") becomes more important in this Deckengine, due to its easy-to-Synchro Summon will be the fifth Summon nature, also adding a layer of defense on your "[[Dragon Ravine]]"the turn, which is makes it a good thing for your future playsway to protect the Deck against this specific threat.

== Trivia ==* Their archetype symbol is the green emerald for the Dragon monsters, and for the Winged Beast monsters is the green emerald surrounded by a gold outline of wings.* As with the "[[Blackwing]]" archetype, there is a heavy distinction between the Tuner monsters and the non-Tuner monsters in terms of appearance. Similar to "Blackwings", the non-Tuner monsters are all humanoids in bird outfits with mechanical-like wings, while the Tuner monsters are composed of small, armored dragons (whereas the "Blackwing" Tuner monsters are all small birds).* Their "rider and mount" style, as depicted in their "Dragunity Knight" forms, are also adopted by later archetypes, such as "[[Gusto]]" and "[[Ritual Beast]]" (albeit with different types and mechanics).{{Archetype Archseries navbox}}{{Archseries navbox (anime)}}{{Archseries navbox (Duel Links)}}{{Duel Terminal}}[[Category:TCG and OCG archetypes]]
