The aspiring "Master of Faster" has new tools in their arsenal to try out in the Red Dragon Archfiend Strategy - Shining Star Dragon and Red Lotus King!
First of all, Shining Star Dragon grants the deck access to a monster boardwipe during your opponent's Main Phase! Using Shining Star Dragon to "quick-synch" into the generically accessible Centur-Ion Auxilia (which happens to be a dark dragon monster) fulfills Scarred Dragon Archfiend's conditional fieldwipe!
Red Lotus King, Flame Crime acts as an additional extender for the strategy, allowing Red Dragon to play past the handtraps that are all too common in this format. It also sends any normal trap from deck to GY, allowing Red Dragon to finally easily access its power array of trap cards like Red Reign (field wipe) and Time to Stand Up! (monster negate).
The deck also works and melds incredibly well with Bystials very much like Dragonlink or Branded, netting you additional resources, interruption, extenders, beatsticks and combo pieces.
BE THE CRIMSON KING WITH RED DRAGON ARCHFIEND! ABSOLUTE POWERFORCE!!! SYNNKRROOOO SHOOOKKAAAAANNNNN!!!
GLHF Duelists!
