Dragon Playing Guide (Rebecca's Skill)

Dragon Playing Guide (Rebecca's Skill)

Konami actually created a deck that lives purely on Skill, so I don't know what to call this deck. The name Dragon was given by Duel Links Meta, and a pig-feed deck that lives thanks to the ability to draw too many cards from Skill Guardian Angel's Charity.

GUARDIAN ANGEL CHARITY - Rebecca Hawkins ' exclusive skill. As long as you don't have more than 4 monsters other than Light and Wind, you can draw a bunch of cards like this:

  • You can Normal Summon an additional GUARDIAN ANGEL JOAN during your Main Phase, in addition to your Normal Summon or Set. And GUARDIAN ANGEL JOAN can be Normal Summoned or Set without a Tribute.

  • You can add an Angel/Fairy or a Normal Dragon monster from your deck to your hand and then send a Dragon monster from your deck to the Graveyard. This is great because of the simple activation condition + sending a Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos from your deck to the Graveyard will be an extremely convenient Extender.

  • If you control GUARDIAN ANGEL JOAN , you add a GRACEFUL CHARITY and a STAMPING DESTRUCTION from outside your deck to your hand. You then play up to one LUSTER DRAGON #2 and one LUSTER DRAGON, for a total of up to two cards from your deck to the field in face-down defense position. (draw cards)

You can change the battle stance of the monsters. So it is important to start with Angel at all costs, otherwise you must have LUSTER DRAGON and then search for Angel with the skill. That is why we also bring along SUMMONER'S ART that DSOD gave us so that we can bring LUSTER DRAGON #2 from the deck to our hand.



The monsters in the main deck

 

Blaster Dragon Ruler of Infernos (x1 )
UR rarity
Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos
UR rarity
Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos

This card is essentially a free Special Summon + 1 Free level 7 Dragon body.

The Skill's condition is to send 1 Dragon card from the Deck to the grave, which sounds like a cost but it's actually a beneficial effect if we put this card down. This card when in the grave has an effect: just Banish 2 Dragon cards from the Hand or Grave (this deck is not lacking, it's even beneficial when banishing) and we can special summon it on the field. 1 Level 7 body can quickly combine with   GUARDIAN ANGEL JOAN for XYZ rank 7, or Fusion Dragonmaid, or Link summon,... so this is the card 99% of the time we will want to send it to the grave.

Guardian Angel Joan (x3)
UR rarity
Guardian Angel Joan
UR rarity
Guardian Angel Joan

This is the Core of the deck so you need x3 cards. When you summon this card, you start the entire Deck through Skill. The effect of this card has nothing.

Dragonmaid Lorpar, Parlor Dragonmaid and Chamber Dragonmaid (Dragonmaid Monsters)

Chamber Dragonmaid

Since we need Dragonmaid Bosses in the Extra Deck, of course we have to use Engine and Dragonmaid monsters. X1 each of these cards.

Tempest Dragon Ruler of Storms (x1)
SR rarity
Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms
SR rarity
Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms

This card is 90% similar to Blaster, except that it is Wind-type so it can meet a small part of the Skill + it has an ability that Blaster does not have: When Banished, it will add 1 Wind Dragon from the Deck to the hand. This ability makes it an involuntary Searcher when combined with Gold Sarcophagus or Blaster (search 2 normal dragon cards in the deck to activate the Skill)

Dragunity Arma Gram (x1)
SR rarity
Dragunity Arma Gram

Wind Dragon is 99.67% similar to Tempest and Blaster but is level 10 so it cannot XYZ.

Grandtusk Dragon (x1)
SR rarity
Grandtusk Dragon
SR rarity
Grandtusk Dragon

Very good because when summoned, it helps us destroy 2 of our opponent's cards while we can easily special summon this card from the deck thanks to the ability of the Link card Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres (push 1 of our opponent's cards and special summon this card from the deck) or summon it directly thanks to Hieratic Dragon King of Atum

Luster Dragon and Luster Dragon #2 (x3 each leaf)

Luster Dragon #2

Normal monsters that seem useless become the Core of a deck gathered by Skill. This is a symbiotic relationship: Skill needs these 2 cards - these 2 cards need Skill.
  • Luster Dragon: 4 stars so can be normal summoned, so be careful when discarding it, it can be useful with a 1900 ATK body

  • Luster #2: This card is level 6 so it is the main force to summon when activating Skill -> from there XYZ rank 6 combo like Beatrice or Hieratic

Background Dragon (x1)
N rarity
Background Dragon
N rarity
Background Dragon

This card has a good graveyard effect, suitable for setting up the graveyard for the second effect of the Skill. At the start of the combo, it will help us have a free level 5 Dragon body on the field and at the same time search for Level 4 Dragonmaid or Luster Dragon.

Galactic Spiral Dragon (x0-1)
SR rarity
Galactic Spiral Dragon
SR rarity
Galactic Spiral Dragon

Although the art looks a bit sida, don't forget this is also a Dragon card, it can be special summoned relatively easily when in the grave. Then we can use rank 8 XYZ cards like Dingrisu



Spell/Trap

 

Gold Sarcophagus (x0-3)
UR rarity
Gold Sarcophagus
UR rarity
Gold Sarcophagus

Since we play 30 cards, there is still a chance that we won't have the Cores to activate the Skill. So if we add these 3 Spell cards, it's almost impossible for us to be Deadhand.

Gold Sarcophagus will banish Tempest -> Tempest will have the ability to Search Luster Dragon -> Activate Skill

Dragonmaid Tidying and Dragonmaid Changeover (x1)
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Tidying
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Tidying
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Changeover
Card rarity
Dragonmaid Changeover

This is the spell/trap in the Dragonmaid engine that we need. 1 Spell to summon the fusion and 1 Trap to make things difficult for the enemy. This engine can rotate back and forth so x1 each card is enough.

Summoner's Art and Painful Decision (x0-2)
UR rarity
Summoner's Art
UR rarity

Since we're playing 30 cards and have plenty of space for these, throw in whatever you have. Prioritize strong and hot Meta cards like Droplet!



Extra Deck

 

Dragonmaid Sheou and House Dragonmaid (x1 each leaf)

Dragonmaid Boss is a must. Gives us the ability to negate everything along with a body with high ATK to finish off the opponent

Hieratic Dragon King of Atum (x1)
SR rarity
Hieratic Dragon King of Atum
SR rarity
Hieratic Dragon King of Atum

This card is a must, an indispensable link in the combo chain. Rank 6 XYZ immediately with 2 Luster Dragon #2 cards on the field. It will summon anything you want in the Deck to the field, even GrandTusk to be able to Destroy 2

Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres (x1)
Card rarity
Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres
Card rarity
Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres

Also a hieratic card and also a must. 100% we will want to summon this card if we go turn 1 because it is an indispensable part of the endboard.

Return 1 card from opponent + Special summon 1 Dragon from Deck (if summon Granktusk, we almost clear 3 cards of opponent)

Voloferniges the Darkest Dragon Doomrider (x1)
SR rarity
Voloferniges, the Darkest Dragon Doomrider
SR rarity
Voloferniges, the Darkest Dragon Doomrider

As you can see, this deck has a lot of level 7 monsters to make XYZ meat and Voloferniges is the best Rank. Quick Destroy and ATK increase are things that every endboard wants.

Number 11: Big Eye, Dark Armed and the Dragon of Annihilation (x0-1)
SR rarity
Number 11: Big Eye

Also a rank 7 XYZ but less effective than Voloferniges, but when playing turn 2 these cards will be quite useful.

Abyss Dweller and Lightning Chidori (x0-1)
UR rarity

Because there is Luster Dragon and level 4 Dragonmaids, we can also play rank 4 XYZ. These are the 2 most notable options.

Knightmare Phoenix and Knightmare Unicorn (x1)

I:P Masquerena

Underworld Goddess of the Closed World
SR rarity
Underworld Goddess of the Closed World

These 2 cards are good but quite difficult to get because they are in the selection box. I:P goes quite well with Knightmare but if you don't have it, then forget it, it's not necessary because we already have Hieratic Sphere to make Link 2 endboard effective and cost much less resources.

Dingirsu the Orcust of the Evening Star (x0-1)
UR rarity
Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star
UR rarity
Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star

This is the reason to play Galactic Spiral Dragon, and its power is beyond question.

Beatrice Lady of the Eternal (x0-1)
SR rarity
Limited to 1 copy
Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal
SR rarity
Limited to 1 copy
Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal

XYZ Rank 6 Hieratic is the number 1 choice for the deck. Beatrice is not as good and is Limit 1 but it can also open up interesting and unique combos for the deck. If you have this card, you can occasionally put it in to change up the combo.
