TCG Superheavy Dracoslayers

The tcg dracoslayer deck and replacing minor consistency tools with the new CYAC superheavy samurai engine.

This is not a beginner guide please understand the phhy dracoslayer combos first

because wakaushi is a super easy to summon tuner and luster can be searched in many ways, I cut the amount of luster. left 2 curtain raiser because its a free body for pendulums

Now has much better consistency and followup possibility but still suffers the same issue as before being weak followup plays and obvious choke points, with the new format being handtrap heavy especially shifter and droll, the deck isnt quite good.

I personally like the vortex dragon package so I kept it. Could replace that with Necrovalley instead but WE NEED ELECTRUMITE

The concept

The deck still follows the old ways of how PHHY dracoslayers plays, with the superheavy samurai engine acting both as a starter or a extender after pendulum summoning.The deck still relies on multi card combo but wakaushi/motor bike being a potential 1 card lv8 synchro/beyond the pendulum + a low scale (or even full scales) gives you much more freedom on what other combo piece you need and can search for

As a starter 1 card combo motorbike can search wakaushi which then can get you beyond the pendulum + big benkei 1 scale.

Or 2 card combo getting to Ignister prominence (if you have a lv4 normal summon along shs) + sky iris + beyond the pendulum + full scales

From there you can search pendulum sorcerer and go for a board of 2 mat Appolusa + Vortex + Borreload savage + generic r8 (or r4 + prominence) a total of 2 monster negates 2 omni and 1 other

If you search wakaushi through beyond the pendulum you can use it in the later combo as a free lv8/r4 and gives you a free big benkei scale (which is not always a good thing). The only issue is unclogging scale zones which can be trouble at times even with Ignister prominence and Sky iris.

If you started with or have wakaushi/motorbike, pendulum sorcerer is the extra resource for your endboard, searched through beyond the pendulum and pend out for a potential pend zone unclogg + search up to 2, can search odd-eyes seer for the vortex dragon route with sky iris or monkeyboard into odd-eyes synchron, which can be then ss through Selene for another lv8 synchro play. 

Magicians and skullcrobat 

I've seen decks running skullcrobat, harmonizing + another magician (usually purple poison) and celestial magician. I personally dont think dracoslayers benefit much from those:

Skullcrobat: is an interesting option especially with wakaushi around. It can be a good normal summon/negate bait, as long as wakaushi resolves (giving it some thought it is worth main decking but relies more on hard draw 3/40 vs wakaushi 6/40). skullcrobat + big benkei search can bait 2 negates and still will allow you to go into ignister prominence

Harmonizing: is in a similar spot to luster as a tuner their limitation makes them less favorable than wakaushi, it needs to be pend out for its effect and the ss isnt always necessary (for dracoslayers its not always the more pend bodies the better). The deck has many better tuner options and ways to access them

Celestial: is a wierd one. normal summon = a search. Has extra advantage with synchros on field but usually by that time youre past your pend summon and if your opponent still didnt stop you on Celestial activation it means they have nothing (least not in your turn). but tbh celestial + majesty paladin search 2 on end phase feels good indeed (imagine if pend hand traps exist )

The thing about these 3 is you cant search them through either draco or shs engine. You want to see them in your opening hand best along shs OR 2 other dracoslayer to combo off. because of this I would prefer curtain raiser more as a free ss. The only good one is skullcrobat especially since this deck needs the performapals and odd-eyes for the big board (and because people know it and will tend to negate it)

Extra

the use of Psy Omega:

I found that its less likely to use the Dinoster power because you usually use it close to the end of the combo for harbinger. by that time you alread have omnis out and theres usually not enough space to bring 2 lv4 with dinoster and prominence for a dweller. with the sufficient amount of tuners from wakaushi and ignis phoenix effect I instead go for psy omega. from here on you can either:

omega handrip x1, ending on a few omnis + prominence of field OR

omega + prominence into a generic lv8 xyz:

No1 Buzz king is a good (but not out in the tcg yet) one since it lets you kinda know what your opponent's deck is by ed ripping, is a 3k beat stick and a spell speed 1 pop

The other intention is to get omega to gy where it can recycle a card. so if you used a s/t you can get that back to the deck to enable shs again OR recycle ed monsters like beyond the pendulum

Another lv8 synchro option is Tilting entrainment but the extra body it brings doesnt offer a lot of utility compared to omega

Random

This deck doesnt like spell traps in the gy so be aware with that as it will block the superheavy samurai combos

the ed is mostly ideas and 45 cards is just to make 20% hand trap rate feel free to modify based on your needs

lastly ive been thinking of cutting down the amount of curtain raiser, bunbuku, big benkei and dinomist charge but not quite sure if it will hurt consistency (especially if you draw into the only big benkei), the deck doesnt quite need followup but I still want some if you get interrupted

update June banlist: 

Gamma dead :C 

the unlimit of face-off does not seem to help the deck much and in terms of advantage it's not as good as wakaushi engine.

Face-off =

- minimum 1 more bricks in deck (1x dracoverlord OR master peace + dracoverlord) if the dracoverlord gets summoned youll have 2 face-off stuck in your deck

+ can play more s/t in deck

+  1  free ss (50% chance into pegasus to search) and send 1 to ed (good for going 1st resourcing, not good for followup since you have way too many methods to get dracoslayers to the ed)

SHS Wakaushi =

- minimal s/t allowed in deck, none allowed in gy (if you want follow up with the engine)

+ 1 card beyond the pendulum + 1 scale OR beyond the pendulum + prominence + sky iris + full scales

thank you for patiently reading through my rambling <3

btw: I hate how the deck editor auto sorts my deck card layout in a bad way everytime, just leave it alone  :U
