'''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]]''.
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|Tachyon|Danger!|Horus}}
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 , in particular [[Link Monster]]s requiring generic Dragon monsters as materials, 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.
