Dragons are one of the most common decks out there, and in this typers opinion, surely one of the most powerful. This article isn't about how to make one (Though i'll be typing one tomorrow or later ), it's about cards that are near necessities for a few different dragon deck styles: the common ones I'm covering the Blue-Eyes decks in this article, Hopeless in my next
Spell:
Future Fusion (Gets certain dragons in the grave for use to summon Ultimate very fast: 3x Legend of The White Stone for three Blue-Eyes, one Wyvern, and one Metal for 5-Head almost assures a Ultimate and Metal at the end of the turn. From here, get out Metal, then poly Ultimate the next turn, using Metal's eff to get a Blue-Eyes from the grave out too. Now you have 2800, 4500, 3000, and a normal summon on the field, in basically one turn)
Dragon's Mirror (This can be used when you poly out Ultimate and have 3 Blue-Eyes in the grave, allowing a 2nd Ultimate in one turn. I also use the combo of from there, using Return From The Different Dimension to summon the 3 Blue-Eyes AGAIN, either poly or have 3x 3000 and 2x 4500's in ONE TURN)
Gold Sarcophagus (This is an amazing searcher card. This card effectively searches out vital cards like Future or Mirror, and you get them in 2 turns from use. Very helpful in tough situations)
Ancient Rules (This card allows you to special summon a level 5 or higher normal monster from your hand. There is a free Blue-Eyes, 3000 attack beat-stick, still allowing your normal summon too)
Traps:
Call of The Haunted (This card is a staple, yes, so it's use is obvious. A smart use for this card is using it to revive a Metal or Blue-Eyes, even an Ultimate if it was already properly summoned, but was somehow destroyed)
Altar For Tribute (Questionable... Most effective when using Metal. This combo allows you to tribute a Ultimate, gain 4500 LP, then revive it with Metal. This card is more for the deck style that may take a lot of damage while battling)
Battle Mania (I recommend someone write a separate article on this card. After swarming the field in one of many various ways, suppose your opponent Threatening Roar's you, we've all been there Now you have your field covered with powerful monsters, and he has a few stallers on the field, maybe Marshy or Spirit, Dandy even. Activate Battle Mania during their standby phase and your problems are solved, maybe even game over. This card forces all monsters your opponent controls that are face-up to turn attack and all positions after that can't change, so no flip effects even Then they must attack that turn, if able. Thus, forcing serious damage on your opponent in one turn, and you only have to click activate )
Monsters:
Kaibaman (Blue-Eyes lovers rejoice if you've never heard of this guy. You may tribute this guy to special summon one blue-eyes from your hand. Now, this sounds like Ancient Rules, just as a monster, except the fact he's a warrior. For this reason, he is much stronger. With the many cards that let you get warriors to your hand, Kaibaman is an effective way of summoning a 3000 Attack beat stick quickly and effectively)
Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon (Okay, you all know this card, and i've mentioned so much about him already, i'm just gonna put him on here)
Legend of The White Stone (Because I also already described the great effect of this dragon, i'm also simply putting him in here)
Prime Material Dragon (Alright, one of my absolute favorite cards. This card has a double helpful effect. First, it changes all effect damage to gain the same amount. There goes an average burn deck, done for It's second effect is most notable though. It can negate any card effect that destroys, you discard one card for cost. That stops Torrential, Bottomless, Mirror, you name it. This card is a want for almost any deck, but specifically dragons because they make it so much easier to summon him. Metal special summons, Totem can come from grave as a tribute, Masked can get a new dragon out for a tribute, etc )
Alright, OBVIOUSLY this is not EVERY card that can help these decks. These are just a few that are very nice to have in them
If you have comments or questions, please do tell ^^ For now, that's all from me
