Milking the Dragon Maid




Introduce

Introduce


This deck is definitely worth playing in the current Format, and I'm here to guide you through deck building, basic combos, and strategies to beat the Meta!

Below will be the Cards & Techs section. In the Main Deck and the monsters in the Main Deck section: I will divide the monsters into two different types: Maids and (Dragons/Ritual Dragons).



The maids

The maids

 

Chamber Dragonmaid (x2-3)
Card rarity
Chamber Dragonmaid
Card rarity
Chamber Dragonmaid

Starter/Searcher

Chamber can search for any Dragonmaid Spell/Trap (S/T), which is usually the card you'll want to find with Maid's Downtime . You can play 2 copies of Chamber for the stability of the ability, but I recommend playing 3 copies to find other potential combo pieces.

Additionally, Chamber can transform into any Dragon during the Battle phase, including Dragonmaid Sheou from the Graveyard (GY).

Parlor Dragonmaid (x3)
Card rarity
Parlor Dragonmaid
Card rarity
Parlor Dragonmaid

Starter/GY Generator


Parlor will be your second best starter, being able to send any Dragons, Maid, or Spell/Trap you need to the GY. Good targets include Dragonmaid Changeover to return it from the GY with its second effect, Dragonmaid Tidying to special summon any Dragonmaid monster from the hand/GY, any Maid/Dragon to revive with Dragonmaid Hospitality , or Dragonmaid Welcome to make all your Dragonmaid monsters untargetable that turn.

Kitchen Dragonmaid (x1)
Card rarity

Kitchen Dragonmaid

Skill Requirement/Searcher


Looking for your only monster besides Dragonmaid Downtime , sometimes discarding a Dragon can be useful, but most of the time you'll be using the Normal Summon for Chamber Dragonmaid and Parlor Dragonmaid . It's useful sometimes, but not the best starting choice.

Nurse Dragonmaid (x1)
Card rarity
Nurse Dragonmaid
Card rarity
Nurse Dragonmaid

Skill Requirement/Reviver


The main way to create multiple monsters on the field is very powerful in long matches and can save you in many situations. The most common cases are against field-breaking cards like Dark Hole , Armed Dragon LV10 , Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix by being summoned from the hand during the Battle Phase (BP) by Dragonmaid Tidying or Dragonmaid Ernus , which creates two monsters and reduces the risk of being OTK.

Laundry Dragonmaid (x1000)
Card rarity
Laundry Dragonmaid
Card rarity
Laundry Dragonmaid

Skill Requirement/Miller


OMGGGGG! I love Laundry , I would die for Laundry Dragonmaid . This support card will change my life and will be the best card ever. (Played 1 copy, mill is pretty good (sometimes yes, sometimes no...) )



Dragon Leaves

 

Dragonmaid Lorpar (x2-3)
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Lorpar
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Lorpar

Board Breaker


Lorpar is a great card, the ability to prevent monsters from activating effects is extremely useful when facing monsters like Armed Dragon Thunder LV10 to protect Dragonmaid Downtime when going second, Lyrilusc - Ensemblue Robin if it's not protected from the target, Predaplant Dragotapelia , and some other cases... You get the idea!

Dragonmaid Ernus (x1-2)
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Ernus
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Ernus

Quick Hand Summon


Ernus is a card you always want to have in your hand to survive the early game when facing strong OTKs. It can summon Nurse Dragonmaid to create more monsters, or Chamber Dragonmaid/Parlor Dragonmaid to search or send to the Graveyard any cards you need for your next turn or to maintain your position.

Dragonmaid Tinkhec (x1)
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Tinkhec
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Tinkhec

Skill Requirement/Booster

+2000 ATK=Big PP dmg

Dragonmaid Nudyarl (x1)
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Nudyarl
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Nudyarl

Skill Requirement/Shuffler


There's not much to say about this card. Sometimes the effect of shuffling a monster from any Graveyard can be useful against certain decks, but most of the time you'll just use it as a strong attack monster.



The Ritual Dragons:

 

Borreload Riot Dragon (x0-3)
SR rarity
Borreload Riot Dragon
SR rarity
Borreload Riot Dragon

Fusion Material/Card Destroyer

Riot has many uses in this deck, but is primarily used as fusion material for Dragonmaid Sheou . Additionally, it can take advantage of its second effect to return to hand.

This deck interacts very well with the Graveyard, and Riot can send down stuck cards in hand like Dragonmaid Tidying or a Maid you want in the Graveyard to trade for a high-level Dragon and summon Sheou . Another example is destroying Dragonmaid Changeover in hand to reuse it thanks to its second effect after being destroyed.

You can also destroy Dragonmaid Welcome before deploying turns to avoid Effect Veiler when going first.

Sauravis, the Ancient and Ascended and Raging Storm Dragon - Beaufort IX (x0-2)
Card rarity
Sauravis, the Ancient and Ascended
Card rarity
Sauravis, the Ancient and Ascended
SR rarity
Raging Storm Dragon - Beaufort IX
SR rarity
Raging Storm Dragon - Beaufort IX

Sauravis, the Ancient and Ascended

Fusion Material/Target Protection
A good choice to deal with handtraps like Effect Veiler and Ghost Mourner & Moonlit Chill . Additionally, it can also be used as a fusion material for Dragonmaid Sheou .

Raging Storm Dragon - Beaufort IX

Fusion Material/OTK Protection
Not used much since Lyrilusc is not popular anymore, but the main reason to play this card is to counter Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale . Additionally, it can also be used as fusion material for Dragonmaid Sheou .



Spell/Trap

 

Dragonmaid Hospitality (x2-3)
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Hospitality
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Hospitality

Resource Generator/Extender


One of your two main Spells will be Dragonmaid Hospitality , which can revive any Dragonmaid from the Graveyard or hand, and also allows you to send a counterpart of that monster to the Graveyard. This is a great expansion tool when dealing with disruption. You'll usually search for this card with Chamber Dragonmaid after you already have Dragonmaid Changeover .

Dragonmaid Changeover (x1-2 )
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Changeover

Dragonmaid Changeover

Fusion Spell


Your second main Spell is Dragonmaid Changeover , which is basically the core of the deck since the gameplay revolves around fusion monsters. I recommend only playing 1 copy since it can recycle itself from the Graveyard, but you can run 2 if DD Crow becomes popular.

This is the main way to summon Dragonmaid Sheou and House Dragonmaid consistently. The recycle effect requires returning a Dragonmaid monster from the field to the hand, making for a great combination with House Dragonmaid 's effect to destroy an opponent's monster. Additionally, the only condition of the second effect is to simply select a target, so you can activate Dragonmaid Downtime or Dragonmaid Tidying without losing the healing ability of Dragonmaid Changeover .

Dragonmaid Welcome (x0-1)
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Welcome
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Welcome

Recycler/Target Protection


This is a personal choice. Most players don't use Dragonmaid Welcome because the recycle effect is usually useless in the early game. However, I play it because it's a great card in long games, allowing you to recycle any Dragonmaid card from the Graveyard.

The second effect helps you avoid targeted effects, which is very effective in some matchups. You can also combine this card with the healing effect of Borreload Riot Dragon to deal with handtraps like Effect Veiler and Ghost Mourner & Moonlit Chill , as the deck is quite weak to handtraps in the early game.

Dragonmaid Send-Off (x0-1)
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Send-Off

Stall/Protection


Not a popular card, but certainly not a bad choice if you want to survive against strong OTK decks.

Dragonmaid Downtime (x1)
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Downtime
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Downtime

Skill Setup/Searcher/Backrow Removal


The main way to get this Trap into play is to use the third effect of the Maid's Downtime ability. This is a very powerful card to play second, as it can dodge targeted and handtrap interrupt effects, while also searching for any Dragonmaid cards or returning an opponent's Spell/Trap to the hand. Most of the time, this effect will force the opponent to react, as it does not target when returned to the hand.

Dragonmaid Tidying (x2-3)
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Tidying
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Tidying

Bouncer/Extender

Frankly, Baki , you'll almost never use the first effect of Dragonmaid Tidying . The second effect is the most important, as it allows you to Special Summon a Dragonmaid monster from your hand or Graveyard, making it one of the best expansion tools in the deck.

You can activate this effect even during the Battle Phase (BP) , so you always want this card in the Graveyard. The most common way to send it to the Graveyard is to use Parlor Dragonmaid 's effect to send it from your deck, or use Forbidden Droplet/Borreload Riot Dragon to send it from your hand if it's stuck.



Extra Deck

 

Dragonmaid Sheou (x1)
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Sheou
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Sheou

Main Boss/Omni Negate

Sheou is your main boss monster and your win condition. It can negate any card or effect your opponent has, and Special Summon a Dragonmaid monster from your hand or Graveyard during each Standby Phase .

After negating, Sheou returns to the Extra Deck to summon its counterpart House Dragonmaid . This card helps you set up for your next turn by calling Chamber Dragonmaid to search for support or Parlor Dragonmaid to send Dragonmaid Tidying , creating a backup if your field is cleared.

House Dragonmaid (x3)
Card rarity
House Dragonmaid
Card rarity
House Dragonmaid

Boss Monster/Board Breaker

Most of the time, you will summon House Dragonmaid using the effect of Dragonmaid Sheou . Like its counterpart, House also has the ability to Special Summon a Dragonmaid monster, but only if you control another Dragonmaid monster.

House 's second effect allows you to destroy an opponent's monster "WHEN" a Dragonmaid monster returns to the hand. The important thing is that you will lose the activation timing if this action occurs on Chain Link 2+ . Additionally, this effect is not limited to once per turn , so you can take advantage of it to destroy multiple monsters, especially during the Battle Phase (BP) .

Generic Links/Card Removal


As you know, just dropping Dragonmaid Tidying into the Graveyard can give you a huge advantage!

Underworld Goddess of the Closed World (x0-1)

Generic Link/Monster Removal


Since this isn't a F2P friendly card, I'd mark it as 0-1 , but if you have it, play it. There are situations where this card really shines, especially when dealing with monsters that can't be targeted or aren't affected by effects .

Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star, Bujinki Ahashima, Voloferniges and the Darkest Dragon Doomrider (x0-1)

Generic ED Spot/Card Removal


This is an uncommon option, but it can be done with pairs like double Chamber Dragonmaid , Kitchen Dragonmaid + Parlor Dragonmaid , or Nurse Dragonmaid + Laundry Dragonmaid . This is mostly a test pack, but you can experiment!



Common cards can be substituted.

You have a lot of viable options since the only limited card you have access to is Dragonmaid Sheou .

Limit 2s/Survivance


Dragonmaid 's biggest weakness is the early game, as in Speed ​​Format , it's easy to get OTK'd in the first few turns. These cards will help you survive the early game , while also setting up the long-term playstyle where Dragonmaid really shines.
