I'll start by giving my usual advice that it's highly recommended to stick to the 40 card minimum. Make it happen and then we'll talk. Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 22:57, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Any thoughts?

(For my sake and others' I have out your deck ina Template:Decklist) Ok... Monsters first. Dragunity Darkspear is generally useless. Your best target is Mist Valley Soldier (who I'll get to in a second) or Dragunity Dux. Turning a 1000 ATK monster into a 1500/1700 ATK monster is pointless. Dragunities are generally weak, so for the most part they need to Synchro in one turn, because it's unlikely they'll survive longer than that. Darkspear doesn't do that. Drop all 3. Next, Fling Kamakiri. I don't like him in Dragunities but if you insist on running him I won't stop you. Sangan is another pointless search. You'll be doing so much already with Dragon Ravine that Sangan is unnecessary. Next, Mist Valley Soldier. Dragunities have a much better way to get to level 8 Synchs, in one turn (which is what they need to do). Dux, equips Phalanx, Special Summon Phalanx, synch for Vajrayana, equip Phalanx, Special Summon, synch for 8. If you're on a budget and can't afford Vajrayanas, then he can stay, but otherwise drop him. Finally, Luster Dragon is an unnecessary beatstick, you'll be relying on Synchros who will do the job much more effectively, and Dragunities are masters of the one turn Synch.

Add in: 3 Dragunity Aklys. He combos beautifully with Dragunity Legionnaire. Summon, Equip Aklys from the Grave, destroy a monster destroy a card. Priceless. My other recommendation for a monster is Dragunity Arma Leyvaten. He's easily summoned through his own effect or that of Aklys, and is a powerful monster. I recommend 2. On a more general note, the typical monster count formula is: Half the deck (usually 20) minus the number of Search cards. Dragunities have 3 search cards (Ravines) for a total of 17 monsters. However, as a field pell it can be used multiple times, so Dragunities can get away with fewer, 16, 15, I've even seen 14 that worked well. I have 16 myself.

Next, Spells. The first thing I don't like is your 2 Lightning Vortex. Dragiunities typically have a low hand count and more discard cards isn't going to help with that. My next problem is with your banlist. Heavy Sorm is Forbidden, and Foolish Burial is Limited.On top of that, Dragon Ravine serves as your reuseable Foolish Burial, making the original completely unneeded and a waste of deck space and hand. To replace the 5 cards I recommend some combination of: Dark Hole, Giant Trunade, 3 Cards of Consonance, 2 Mystical Space Typhoon.

After Spells, we logically go to Traps. My main issue is with your 3 Dark Bribes. They ultimately give plusses to the opponent, which is rarely a good thing. I'd drop all 3 for some Staples: Solemn Judgment, Torrential Tribute, etc. To replace Dark Bribes negation powers, I recommend 1 or 2 Seven Tools of the Bandit. It's a much better card.

Last, but certainly not least, the Extra Deck. Vortex the Whirlwind SPECIAL Summons your Winged Beasts, which does not allow them to Equip a Dragunity from the grave. Next, Exploder Dragonwing, Thought Ruler Archfiend, Red Dragon Archfiend, and DK Gae Bulg are all generally bad. You definitely want 3 Vajrayana, as when combined with Dux and Phalanx he serves as the deck's main Synchro engine. You'll also want other good Synchros, like Catastor, Magical Android, Brionac, Black Rose Dragon, Scrap Dragon, Colossal Fighter, and for this deck, Trident Dragion.

I'll end with this: I'm not saying these changes are madnatory, nor am I telling you you have to go out and buy all these cards in order to win. If money is an issue you can make any substitutions you see fit. Hope I helped! Lappyzard (talk • contribs) 23:11, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
