− | '''Disaster Dragon''' is an [[Aggro]] [[ | + | '''Disaster Dragon''' is an [[Aggro]] [[Control]] deck that plays disruption strategies mixed with lockdown and high aggression to gain and maintain control of the board. It carries a lot of momentum and explosive power as the deck can consistently drop two or more monsters per turn without losing advantage and often times they will be big monsters. This is done through the use of the deck's backbone card, "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]". This card is one of the most powerful dragons in the deck, outclassed only by a potential "[[White Night Dragon]]", or "[[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]". Red-Eyes' effect allows for the constant re-use of monsters from the Graveyard, as well as the ability to bypass the Normal Summoning limit and the requirements for Tributes that many decks suffer from. As a result, Disaster Dragon decks are packing some of the most destructive, highest ATK monsters in the present Metagame because they can bypass the tribute mechanic required to summon them. |
Through the usage of cards such as "[[Koa'ki Meiru Drago]]", "[[Exploder Dragon]]" and "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" the deck is capable of shutting down and eliminating a majority of plays made by the current popular decks. The deck plays like a toolbox, with "[[Masked Dragon]]" working to recruit the dragons you need for tributes, [[Synchro Summon]], [[Xyz Summon]], monster removal, etc and cards like "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon", "Divine Dragon Apocralyph", and "[[Genesis Dragon]]" allowing you to reuse, manipulate, or trade dragons around. Cards such as "[[Foolish Burial]]", "[[Dragon Ravine]]", and "[[Dragon Shrine]]" allow you to dump dragons into your graveyard faster while also aiding in the deck's inherent synergy, but some dragons such as "[[Yamata Dragon]]" or "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" cannot be Special Summoned, thus they are unable to bypass their two-tribute requirement via "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]" as most dragons would do. Instead, the deck utilizes "Keeper of The Shrine" or "[[Totem Dragon]]", a self-recurring dragon that can act as two tributes in order to Tribute Summon a Dragon-type monster. Being dragons themselves Keeper of The Shrine and Totem Dragon are viable targets to search with "[[Masked Dragon]]" or to dump with "Dragon Shrine". It can also be revived by Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon. | Through the usage of cards such as "[[Koa'ki Meiru Drago]]", "[[Exploder Dragon]]" and "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" the deck is capable of shutting down and eliminating a majority of plays made by the current popular decks.

This variant utilizes "[[Yamata Dragon]]", which acts as a generator for hand advantage through inflicting Battle Damage with the reward of drawing up to 5 cards. This variant requires "[[Totem Dragon]]" as a consistent Tribute fodder for Yamata Dragon. The rest of the cards in this build is often identical to the Standard variant or can be combined with Light and Disaster. | This variant utilizes "[[Yamata Dragon]]", which acts as a generator for hand advantage through inflicting Battle Damage with the reward of drawing up to 5 cards.

Due to having access to "[[Dragon Ravine]]", some players can even mix this deck type along with the core components of [[Dragunity|Dragunities]] for adding offensive power, but at the cost of removing "[[Totem Dragon]]" (due to half of Dragunities are Winged-Beast type).

You can use the newly-supported "[[Red-Eyes]]" archetype cards to create a beatdown deck variant with significant burn damage. "[[Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon]]" can burn for 2400 LP once Gemini summoned after damage calculation and at the end of the Battle Phase. The before-mentioned card can open up Rank 7 Xyz with the original Red-Eyes B. Dragon to summon "[[Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon]]" or "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" You can also add "[[Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning]]" to destroy your opponents monsters in attack mode. "[[Black Metal Dragon]]" can equip itself to the above monsters to increase their attack power by 600 and it can search out ANY "[[Red-Eyes]]" monster, spell, or trap card. The final pieces of the puzzle are "[[Red-Eyes Fusion]]", "[[Return of the Red-Eyes]]" and "[[Red-Eyes Spirit]]". Additionally, the deck can fusion summon with relative ease the following monsters: "[[B. Skull Dragon]]", "[[Archfiend Black Skull Dragon]]", "[[Meteor B. Dragon]]", "[[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword]]" and "[[First of the Dragons]]" with "[[Dragon's Mirror]]", "[[Fusion Conscription]]", "[[Fusion Reserve]]" and "[[Fusion Substitute]]". | You can use the newly-supported "[[Red-Eyes]]" archetype cards to create a beatdown deck variant with significant burn damage.

Focuses on Spell lockdown via "[[Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8]]". Although normally hard to summon, Disaster Dragon can outrun this problem by Special Summoning "[[Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6]]" via the effect of "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]", and further protect it from destruction with cards such as "[[Prime Material Dragon]]" or "[[Mirage Dragon]]", until it reaches it's final form. If combined with "[[Royal Decree]]", this deck can potentially lockdown several decks. "[[Level Up!]]" and "[[Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos]]" can also help in this variant. | Focuses on Spell lockdown via "[[Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8]]".

− | === | + | ===Anti-Meta Disaster=== |
This build uses the same basic skeleton as Standard Disaster, but instead of "[[Totem Dragon]]", this build has more emphasis on [[Anti-Meta]] monsters such as "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]", "[[Doomcaliber Knight]]" and "[[Effect Veiler]]" to limit the opponent's options.

However, this doesn't mean that both engines shouldn't be run in the same deck. Both the Ninja and Masked Dragon engines can work well together, depending on the format. "[[White Dragon Ninja]]" can also included, but since it cannot be Special Summoned outside of "[[Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation]]", it is not reliable to use. Ninjutsu Disaster can be combined with the following variants: |
− | + | ● Horus Control | |
− | + | ● Project R.E.D. | |
− | + | ● Elemental Disaster | |
− | + | ● Frozen Ray | |
− | + | ● Hieratic Disaster | |
− | + | There are some thing to note regarding Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation. Because the text in the resolution section of the card effect states "send them to the graveyard", cards like Book of Moon won't stop the card from resolving. Hence, both targets get sent to the grave and a Dragon, whose level is less than or equal to the sent monsters, gets special summoned. Because the card states "send them" not "send those targets", Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation doesn't require both of it's targets to remain face-up during the resolution of the chain. Another thing to note is the fact that the card states "send", which does not imply "destroy". Hence, getting around card effects that require destruction to activate, such as Ice Hand, Fire Hand, Stardust Dragon, or cards that cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects such as Beelze of the Diabolic Dragon, El Shaddoll Winda, etc. | |

This build combines the modern aspect of Standard Disaster deck along with supports from Dragon Fusion-oriented deck. Specifically, this deck focusing on Summoning both "[[King Dragun]]" and "[[Queen Dragun Djinn]]" for reinforcing your own field with strong Dragons and protection effects. "[[Hieratic Dragon of Gebeb]]" helps immensely, since it can pull "[[Divine Dragon Ragnarok]]" straight from the Deck for Xyz Summoning "[[Queen Dragun Djinn]]" and Fusion Material for "[[King Dragun]]" later on. For the other materials needed, there's "[[Tour Guide From the Underworld]]", which can pull "[[Versago the Destroyer]]" (which can act as Fusion Substitute). They can be used for Xyz Summoning "[[Number 17: Leviathan Dragon]]", then by detaching Versago, and having Ragnarok in your Graveyard, "[[King Dragun]]" can be Fusion Summoned via "[[Dragon's Mirror]]". "[[The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion]]" or "[[King of the Swamp]]" (together with "[[Polymerization]]") can also useful, either as backup or alternatives. "[[Golem Dragon]]" can also be added for near-perfect protection. | This build combines the modern aspect of Standard Disaster deck along with supports from Dragon Fusion-oriented deck.

− | === | + | ===Hieratic Disaster=== |
Recently popular among veterans, this Disaster Dragon variant utilizes the new deck-toolbox concept provided by "[[Hieratic Dragon King of Atum]]" instead of its traditional Graveyard-toolbox concept (due to the loss of "[[Future Fusion]]"). Atum can be easily Summoned with the combination of "[[Hieratic Dragon of Su]]" and either "[[Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit]]" or "[[Hieratic Dragon of Eset]]", coupled with numerous Dragon-type utility monsters such as "[[Delta Flyer]]", "[[Divine Dragon Apocralyph]], "[[Exploder Dragon]]", "[[Blizzard Dragon]]", "[[Koa'ki Meiru Drago]]", "[[Totem Dragon]]" or even high-level Dragons like "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]" or "[[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]" to address any situation. | Recently popular among veterans, this Disaster Dragon variant utilizes the new deck-toolbox concept provided by "[[Hieratic Dragon King of Atum]]" instead of its traditional Graveyard-toolbox concept (due to the loss of "[[Future Fusion]]").

− | === | + | ===Hieratic Artifacts=== |
This variant is similar to the hieratic disaster listed above. However, its power plays rely heavily on triggering the newly acquired synchro dragon "Ultimaya Tzolkin" by setting the artifacts monsters or cards in your spell/trap zones so you can use them during your opponent's turn to stun and disrupt their plays. (This variant have more success against decks that use their extra deck thanks to artifact scythe). Also, as u set your cards in your spell/trap zones, you will get to special summon any level 8 or 7 synchro dragons, including "crystal wing synchro dragon". | This variant is similar to the hieratic disaster listed above.
