[Combo-labbing prototype: Darkflare Recursion]
This version of the Chaos Hieratics prototype deck now heavily leans into 1-card Spheres engines (namely the Dragonmaids). After REDMD was errata'd, I aimed to loop Darkflare instead. Luckily, there has been wave-after-wave of Dragon support lately, and plenty of cards (such as Armed Dragon Thunder LV5) benefit the Dragon decks in general and the Darkflare loop.

Built with 2 key challenges in-mind:
* Can play thru Nibiru after 5th summon
* Recur Darkflare for advantage

Current full-combo field:


GY has:
1) Brotaur
2) Tempest
3) Dragunity Arma Gram
4) Galactic Spiral Dragon

Combo packets:

• Combo packet 1 builds advantage and can be toolboxed for different match-ups (link here). Milling Armed Dragon LV5 instead of Galactic Spiral accesses combo packet 2.


• Combo packet 2 uses Tempest + Arma Gram to search a small chaos dragon/Dragonmaid (if normal summon is unused)/Hieratic. Then, it goes into Apollousa and builds advantage to use combo packet 1.


• Combo packet 3 is a Halqi-Auroradon combo. If Nibiru goes off before making Apollousa, the field will have a Hieratic to summon a tuner. This is a Dragon, so if your hand has an extender, you can choose between Romulus or Halqi

This field with Darkflare and REDMD (both effects unused) can access just about any dragon.

Some examples:

• VFD {World Legacy Guardragon Mardark + Trishula, the Dragon of Icy Imprisonment}


• Light and Darkness Dragon
  
  
  
  • (send "Samsara Dragon" (pre-release), link away Darkflare to rez with REDMD, dump LaDD, Samsara eff)
  
  
  
  


• Horus LV8 (send & rez Horus LV8, needs Level Up! in-hand)


• 2 Rank 8 XYZs


• 1 Rank 8 and 1 Rank 4 XYZs


• Five-Headed Link Dragon


• Dragonmaid Sheou (send and rez a DMaid to access Dragomaid Changeover)


• Tzolkin (send Galactic Spiral and rez a tuner (like a Dragunity tuner from Divine Lance))


• Infinite Bird Negate (Simorgh, Mist Valley Apex Avian, Mist Valley Thunder Bird equipped by Union Carrier)
  
  
  
  • Link-2 {Pisty + Darkflare} after send & rez a LV4 (like Chamber Dragonmaid), make Force Strix {Chamber Dmaid +  WyverColla} to get Singing Lanius, make Union Carrier & Simorgh
  
  
  • If WyverColla was used for Apollousa, Arma Gram + WIND Dragon (like Parlor Dmaid) sent & rez can make Harpie Conductor, make Union Carrier & Simorgh
  
  
  
  


• Borrelend + Borreload Savage + Link-4 (with Rokket engine)


• Cyberse Clock Dragon/Millennium-eyes Restrict/etc.
  
  
  
  • Link-2 {Pisty + Darkflare} after send & rez a LV2 tuner + WyverColla to synchro Muddy Mudragon (can make "Albion the Stigmata Dragon" (pre-release) as an intermediate monster)
  
  
  
  


• Saryuja and Chaos Ruler, the Chaotic Magical Dragon into VFD {fusion Trish + Crocodragon} for draw 3 (Rose Dragons preferred)


• etc. (Armed Dragons, Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes...)

My latest boards have focused on turn 3 with floaters in the GY like Arma Gram, Chaos Ruler, Tempest, Brotaur, and Galactic Spiral... maybe Phantom Knights backrow. As noted, this is a very casual deck I experiment with to play with friends

Other ideas:
* Haven’t added 1.5-card Spheres engines (to dilute the combo pieces) since these combo pieces so far aren’t horrible in-hand… and Dragunity Remus w/ Guisarme could be a nice discard engine
* Hieratic Seal of Creation: Personally reallllly like to send it to the GY (Foolish Burial Goods/Brotaur) because it can revive Spheres...& Hieratic+Brotaur+Spheres is a fast Apollusa
* Rose Dragons are really powerful fun (& Roxrose is a 1-card Spheres!), but for consistency, I’d likely add a copy of each Dragonmaid instead...?
* Armed Dragon LV7, LV3, & Flash with Twin Triangle are powerful but VERY clunky (fun tho)
* Pile Armed Dragon is good but doesn’t seem to have enough unique advantages over Darkflare in this build (currently. Will keep in mind)
* Avoided Rokkets for a deckbuilding challenge, may optimized with it again soon
* Removed Seyfert since this deck has plenty of normal summons & already likes to search the small chaos dragons with Tempest, may consider 1 copy
* Abhyss: could replace Halqi-Auroradon as a Nibiru back-up plan if drawn into
* Stardust Synchron: could replace Halqi-Auroradon as a Nibiru back-up plan if drawn into, currently looking for ways to make & destroy Chaofeng to search it (not necessary, just for curiosity)
* Been thinking about adding Dogmatika+Shadolls
* If anyone wants to shrink this deck size, I’d recommend removing some of my combo pieces to build your deck with a Codebreakers and Phantom Knights engine
