| − | '''Dragon''' (ドラゴン ''Doragon'') is a [[Type]] of [[Monster Card]]s. It debuted in ''[[Vol.1]]'' in the ''[[OCG]]'', ''[[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]'', and ''[[Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!!]]'' in ''[[Rush Duel]]''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Overview ==
| |
| − | Dragon monsters primarily represent mythological dragons from various cultures. They typically appear as serpentine, reptile, or avian beings that symbolize chaos, both either evil or good, fierceness and intimidation. Due to being one of the most prominent Types in the franchise, Dragons come in many shapes and forms, from the typical bipedal [[wikipedia:European dragon|European dragon]]s, such as "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" to the traditionally-serpentine [[wikipedia:Chinese dragon|Chinese dragon]]s, such as "[[Divine Dragon Ragnarok]]", to everything in-between and beyond.
| |
| − | | |
| − | From [[Series 9]] onwards, Dragon monsters also encompass human-dragon hybrids that add draconic features to human forms, representing either humans with draconic powers or dragons transformed into human forms. Examples include "[[Dragon Core Hexer]]", "[[Fallen of Albaz]]", and "[[Dragonmaid]]" monsters. Dragons primarily come in [[DARK]] or [[LIGHT]], although there are Dragon monsters for all six primary Attributes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Dragons have a strong association with the [[List of unofficial terms#Boss|boss monster]] role in decks and deck themes; there are many high-Level/Rank/Link Rating Dragon monsters with high ATK (rivalled only by the [[Machine]] type) and powerful effects, and several multi-type themes have Dragon monsters as their ace, such as "[[Judgment Dragon]]" in "[[Lightsworn]]" or "[[Infernity Doom Dragon]]" in "[[Infernity]]".
| |
| − | | |
| − | Due to its prominence, Dragon-focused themes come in many playstyles, from simple Aggro-Beatdown tactics to Burn.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Dragon-focused Decks==
| |
| − | ===Dragon Fusion Decks===
| |
| − | {{See also|Blue-Eyes|Dragonmaid|Branded|Despia}}
| |
| − | Historically, various Dragon Decks often focus on getting Fusion Monsters like "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]", "[[King Dragun]]", "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]", and sometimes even "[[Dragon Master Knight]]" or "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]" to the field. Usually "[[Dragon's Mirror]]" or pre-[[Errata]] "[[Future Fusion]]" is used to accomplish these tasks. Though in later years, several [[Fusion Summon]]ing-based Dragon Decks or supports were introduced, which allows a large degree of hybridization between these themes.
| |
| − | ===8-Axis===
| |
| − | {{See also|Galaxy|Photon|Danger!}}
| |
| − | 8-Axis is an [[Xyz Summon]]ing-focused Deck which involves around exploiting a large number of generic [[Rank 8 Monster Cards|Rank 8]] Dragon [[Xyz Monster]]s along with other generic Rank 8 Xyz Monsters for their main plays. There are several variants of 8-Axis decks, though most of them consists of various easy-to-summon [[Level 8 Monster Cards|Level 8]] monsters to quickly summon Rank 8 monsters as soon as possible.
| |
| − | ===Dragon Link===
| |
| − | {{See also|Gandora FTK|Rokket}}
| |
| − | Dragon Link is a Deck focused on using various generic Dragon support to bringing out boss monsters as consistently as possible, with good degree of resistance against common interruptions. The deck originated from a version of [[Gandora FTK]] that used Dragon swarming engines and [[Guardragon]] Link Monsters, evolved into board-building decks based on Dragon swarming and Dragon [[Link Monster]]s (including Guardragons), and as of Series 12, primarily takes the form of "[[Rokket]]" decks that focus on Dragon swarming.
