A little early for any significant religious holidays; but not too early for any significant deck that came out from the mother herself. Now is it really the most significant and obscene defensive deck in the current day? The answer to that is sadly no (that would be Eldlich and all his forms). However with Konami almost ready to unban her cards from the banlist (after so many years), we can easily argue that it's a lot better as a potential anti-meta deck (and more fluent than possibly Nekroz). Not to mention with the most recent support that came out in the OCG is soon to move it away from it's floodgate like strategy, which is kinda nice honestly.
Now at most, True Draco is pretty easy to understand and play for those who want to learn archetype based strategies (almost as easy as interpreting some parts of the Catholic Bible). For starters, this archetypes continuous Spell/Traps run on tributes; their effects trigger with tributes; and they can be tributed for tribute summoned (for monsters such as
Majesty Maiden, the True Dracocaster; but can also be tributed using any other faceup continuous Spell/Trap on the field). Their recovery spell,
Disciples of the True Dracophoenix is by far their most useful card for play extensions (in my opinion). Not because it recovers important cards such as
True King's Return; but it cleans out the Graveyard to make use of a very important hand trap I tend to try to make use of,
Dimension Shifter. Other floodgates such as
The Monarchs Erupt,
Rivalry of Warlords, and
There Can Be Only One had made significant impacts to halt any sudden movements against more fast paced decks (like Braded-Despia, P.U.N.K, and Floowandereeze).
That being said, the most massive issue that True Draco does have is the fact that (besides that generic floodgates do backfire on itself) it's worst matchups are against other stronger, more fluent floodgate decks that don't mind cards that dodge the effect of
The Monarchs Erupt (mainly Eldlich). I'm for certain that this is because True Draco doesn't have a strong enough archetype based card pool that Eldlich has; but that isn't the case. Rather it could be the reality that the archetype in general isn't as fast pace as it was back in it's prime, compared to what came afterwards.
