The Graveyard can serve as a source of Burn damage. "[[Coffin Seller]]" is a cutthroat addition to a '''Guiver''' Deck, since your opponent will take 300 damage for each Monster they lost to your Virus/drawing cards. A harder, but more damaging combo would be to use "[[Black-Winged Dragon]]" with "[[Skull Invitation]]". Your opponent will take 300 damage for ''every'' type of card sent to the Graveyard by your Viruses. "[[Black-Winged Dragon]]" will protect you from its damaging effect and repeatedly supply itself with Wedge Counters, which can be removed to weaken an opponent's Monster and deal heavy damage. "[[Cemetary Bomb]]" will deal 100 damage to your opponent for every card in their Graveyard, while "[[Blasting the Ruins]]" will inflict 3000 damage to your opponent. For "Blasting the Ruins" to be activated, you will need at least 30 cards in your Graveyard, which should be easy to fulfill. If a '''Guiver''' Deck also incorporates Burn damage, one attack from REDD can result in a One Turn Kill. Even without this extra reliance on the Graveyard, "[[Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon]]" is a good Monster to use in a '''Guiver''' Deck, since it can weaken one of your opponent's Monsters and damage them during each of your Standby Phases.
== Vullet varrett Deck ==Even in the VRAINS era, Graveyard Dragon Power has not slowed down. The "[[Vulletvarrett]]" archetype makes a good engine for "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" and "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" Decks, due to the fact that their Monsters are all Dragon-type. The Ace Monster of the Vullet varrett archetype is "[[Varrel Load Dragon]]", which requires at least 3 Effect Monsters to be Link Summoned. This can be easily performed. If your opponent controls a [[Link Monster]], Special Summon "[[Gateway Dragon]]" from your hand. Then use its effect to Special Summon "[[Sniffer Dragon]]" from your hand, which will activate its effect, allowing you to add another "Sniffer Dragon" to your hand. Finally, Normal Summon the other copy of "Sniffer Dragon" and use them all to Link Summon "Varrel Load Dragon". Otherwise, you can Normal Summon "[[Lord of D.]]" and activate "[[The Flute of Summoning Dragon]]", Special Summoning two Dragon-type Effect Monsters from your hand. If you don't have any, use "[[The Melody of Awakening Dragon]]" to add two Level 8 Effect Dragons from your Deck to your hand, then use "Flute of Summoning Dragon" to summon them. Another method is to Normal Summon "[[The Black Stone of Legend]]" and Tribute it to Special Summon "[[Red-Eyes Baby Dragon]]", before activating "Inferno Reckless Summon" and summoning the other 2 copies of "Red-Eyes Baby Dragon".
As for "Varrel Load Dragon's" effects, it cannot be targeted by other Monster's effects, which makes it immune to "[[Number 101: Silent Honor ARK]]", "[[Fire Hand]]", and a handful of other Monsters. What truly makes this card a threat, however, is its synergy with the "Vulletsvarretts." Once per turn, during either player's turn, you can target a face-up Monster on the field and its ATK and DEF are reduced by 500, and this effect cannot be chained to. "[[Anesvullet Dragon]]", "[[Autovullet Autovarrett Dragon]]", and "[[Magnavullet Magnavarrett Dragon]]" are all capable of destroying themselves when targeted by a Link Monster's effect, with the following effects:
* "Anesvullet Dragon": Make one face-up Monster on the field unable to attack, also it has its effects negated.
* "Autovullet Autovarrett Dragon": Send one Spell or Trap card on the field to the Graveyard.* "Magnavullet Magnavarrett Dragon": Send one Monster on the field to the Graveyard.When one of these Monsters is destroyed and sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon another "[[Vulletvarrett]]" from your Deck during the End Phase, except another copy of itself. This means that you can constantly dump one of your Dragons to the Graveyard to power up BESD or REDD, while also supplying "Varrel Load Dragon" with cannon fodder, thus having a major [[Card Advantage]]. "[[Supply Squad]]" lets you draw a card each time one of your "Vulletsvarretts" gets destroyed. "[[Squib Draw]]" destroys a "[[Vulletvarrett]]" that you control and draws 2 cards, which is bumped up to 3 if you also control "Supply Squad". Since all of the "Vulletsvarretts" are [[DARK]], they can be used to Fusion Summon "Starving Venom Fusion Dragon", which also benefits from being destroyed. "[[Quick Revolve]]" summons a "Vulletvarrett" from your Deck and destroys it during the End Phase. Because of the constant shuffling that comes with using a "Vulletvarrett" engine, you will be almost immune to the "Raiza Loop", a common move in [[Frog Monarch]] Decks.
"Varrel Load Dragon" can also serve as an alternative to the Forbidden "[[Snatch Steal]]". When it attacks an opponent's Monster, you can take control of it and move it to one of this card's Link Points. However, that Monster will be destroyed during the End Phase of the next turn. This effect is more dangerous if your opponent controls a Monster that can't be destroyed by card effects, such as "[[Crimson Nova Trinity the Dark Cubic Lord]]", "[[Supreme King Z-ARC]]", or "[[D/D/D Doom King Armageddon]]", since that Monster will remain under your control during the next End Phase.
