Infinite Forbidden grants Tenpai Dragon two powerful consistency cards and a gimmicky but potent Trap card that forces a Battle Phase by skipping Main Phase.
If you're like me who refuses to buy into approx. $100USD per copy Fiendsmith Engravers, I HIGHLY recommend Tenpai this format! Buy Genroku for $7 apiece instead and the adorable Dora Dora are only worth pennies! Tenpai can consistently take games with it's unstoppable offensive pressure even vs. meta, and it is relatively "budget" compared to the Snake-Eyes, Fiendsmith and Yubel decks.
DORA DORA gives the deck another normal summon since it searches any Tenpai from deck, which is basically full combo. I would personally use 1-2 copies of Dora Dora since it's another starter.
The most impactful power-up from INFO is TENPAI DRAGON GENROKU, which is this deck's "Poplar." Now Tenpai Dragon is much more resilient to handtraps like Effect Veiler and Droll since it's quick effect to summon Paidra from deck allow you to search during the Draw Phase (if added by Sangen Kaimen) or the End Phase (added by Magnumhut). I would include 2 copies of Genroku since its kind of a garnet to be searched by Kaiho, Magnumhut or Summoning - if you draw one of them you can still search the other from deck. 3 would be too much copies since it would clog up your limited deck space.
A pretty cool card to use if you know your opponent will force you to go first is SANGEN KAIHO, which forces the Battle Phase if you control only Fire Dragon monsters and your opponent controls more monsters than you do. You can force your opponent to attack you if you have Sangenpai Transendent Dragion on the field, potentially OTKing them during their turn! I would put this in the sidedeck, especially as a target for Triple Tactics Thrust.
From my personal decklist, I took out 1 Set Rotation, 1 Wraitsoth and 1 Ghost Ogre to make room for 1 Dora Dora and 2 Genroku. I also slotted 1 Kaiho into the Side Deck.
Despite the addition of these three new cards, Tenpai Dragon still functions the same way, albeit more effectively and consistently!
