For a Bakugan Battle Brawlers and Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds crossover fanfic I'm working on, I plan to give Dan and the other OG Brawlers they're own Duel Monster decks. Here's the one I put together for Dan, which is purely FIRE-themed. Not onyl that, but it has a lot of ways of monsters working together, recylcing, and, most of all, agressive and explosive moves Dan would LOVE using if he were in the Yu-Gi-Oh universe. Even moreso since its filled with Pyro and Dragon monsters, which just fit his identity. I've mainly been choosing cards that came out before Zexal first aried, to keep the era consistent with cards that came out during the time 5Ds aired. I also plan on including an OG Signer Dragon for Dan too. Here are the stats for it:
Name: Infernal Sovereign Dragonoid (OC monster)
Attribute: FIRE
Type: Dragon/Synchro/Effect
Level: 8
ATK: 3000
DEF: 2500
Effect: Reqires 1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner FIRE monsters to summon. When this card declares an attack: It gains 200 ATK for each FIRE monster in your GY until the end of this Battle Phase. If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can target 1 FIRE monster in your GY; Special Summon it. You can only use each effect of "Infernal Sovereign Dragonoid" once per turn.
And if any of you are wondering, yes I plan on making Dan a Turbo Duelist inmy fnafic as well, but that won't come until after the Dark Signer arc has concluded. If you'd like to know what sort of Speed Spell lineup I gave him, here it is:

So, what do you all think?
Edit: Also, if you're wondering why I included Flamvell Magician, I edited its description for my fanfic to better help it fit with its archetype. Here it is; "This card gains 400 ATK for each other face-up 'Flamvell' monster you control."
And if you're all curious about the fanfic itself, here's the summary for it:
"Summoned to a world of Turbo Duels and ancient prophecy, Dan Kuso—leader of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers—is chosen by the Crimson Dragon and his son as the Fifth Signer. As darkness rises over New Domino City, Dan and Drago must fight alongside Yusei Fudo and the other Signers to face the Dark Signers and the looming threat of Iliaster—before fate itself tears both worlds apart. Pairings: Yusei Fudo x Akiza Izinski, Jack Atlas x Carly Carmine, Dan Kuso x Sherry LeBlanc."
