Hello boys and girls and welcome to yet another Dragon Link build! Dragon link is my favorite deck and I love making videos/deck/combos about it. Anyway, enough about me, KONAMI recently revealed some new cards coming out in LIOV and it included new rose dragon support! This new support makes Dragon link SO GOOD!
Before I start the explanation just know that all the combos, explanations and everything are in my youtube video, Subscribing to the channel would be a great way to support me and also notifies you every time I upload! Also make sure to answer the poll question below! Today’s question is: What Yugioh set is your favorite?

Sneak peek of what the combos CONSISTENTLY end on!
- VFD
- Apollusa (2 negates)
- Dragoon (1 ONMI negate and OTK for next turn)
- Savage (1 OMNI negate)
- 1 handrip
- 1 extra deck rip
- Verte
The end board for the dragon link combo as of now (1.5 card Combo - might know this is you have seen my previous build/video, if not no worries) is VFD aka Ture King of all Calamities and apollusa with 2 materials/negates. This is great by itself but the rose dragons make dragon link even better than it already is! Now the end board (1.5 cards) is VFD, Apollusa (2 negates), an extra savage and (if you have ANY additional extender) a Dragoon as well! This is really big since it is 2 extra OMNI negates. This is fairly easy to pull off and the deck is full of extenders. For the new rose dragon cards I am using Rocss Rose dragon (is a starter, combo piece and TUNER) and Petal rose shoot (monster reborn for rose dragons and can be searched off of rocss rose). I am not running the new garden rose flower or the garden rose maiden because with the death of linkross, it is not possible to play those in dragon link, sorry! Also I decided to make this a 60 card deck to avoid drawing bricks and so that I could run dragoon. The deck is still consistent, it now has 12 starters (3 of each rocss rose, sefert, chaos space and black metal) so you should see 1 every 5 cards which is perfect if you ask me. Same goes for the extenders, you should see them also very often. For bricks you have - dragondark (Omg you never want to draw this), Driver, Red-eyes Black Dragon, Red-eyes Fusion and Dark Magician. The soft bricks include Boot sector launch and Dragonhawk since you are going to search them anyway and drawing into them simply means you need to use it from the hand. Red rose is not a brick, I made a separate combo for it in my video (you don’t summon it from the hand off of halq) and it proves red-rose isn’t a brick. Dragonroar is not a brick in most cases since you can use sefert/white dragon/black dragon/chaos space to combo with it and you can banish tempest instead with Trish (tempest search draco). Tempest can be milled off of ravine if you draw absorouter or tracer. Also some cards in this build you may think are bricks are actually not, like White rose (can special itself if you have tracer, red rose or rocss rose and can be special summoned off of red rose if you already have the rocss rose on the field), Tempest (can simply discard it and it can come back from the grave), Crusadia Draco (can special itself from hand), Petal rose shoot (can summon a rose dragon from the grave - halq always summons a rose dragon so it will not brick since a rose will always be in the grave).
Other notes: I am also running the versatile handtraps for countering the current format (Jan 2021), if you are viewing this sometime later where it is a different format you can change up the handtrap lineup. I also use 2 petal rose shoots, not one since Rocss rose is not only a starter but also a very key combo piece! You need the 2 petal rose shoots to secure that you have at least 1 of it in deck.
Again, all the combos, explanations and everything are in my youtube video, Subscribing to the channel would be a great way to support me and also notifies you every time I upload! Also make sure to answer the poll question down below!

today’s poll question: What Yugioh sets are your favorite?
I really like soul fusion and Secret slayers
If you count structure decks I like rokket revolt, shaddoll showdown and soulburner
toon chaos and dark neostorm for me
>
Nice Toon BLS was a game changer for toons
I would have to say my favorite set would be Breakers of the Shadow, mainly because I have a very fond memory of going to the sneak peak for that set and pulling a solemn strike.
>
Great! Strike is good since it negates zeus
>
This was back in 2016 when it was an 80 dollar secret rare.
>
Oh lol
I put in belle in the main deck to counter drytrons, you can even main lancea if you want – it’s your choice
It’s nice to see KONAMI give support to older decks instead of bringing in new decks – maybe they should do an un banlist sometime instead of a banlist
Is Shenshen or crocodragon a better option? I feel like the number of negates is enough so I put crocodragon fro that draw 1. What do you think?
isn’t all that enough negates?
VFD
Apollusa (2 negates)
Dragoon (1 ONMI negate and OTK for next turn)
Savage (1 OMNI negate)
1 handrip
1 extra deck rip
Verte
I think crocodragon is better
Ok so in my video, in the red rose combo – I made a mistake! You cannot use rocss rose effect when you summon it off of halq – but you can when you summon it with pisty. This changes nothing, just that you search petal rose shoot at a different time – not that it matters
RULING QUESTION: So if you summon something using halq’s effect, do we get the tuner’s effect after it leaves the field? Like o-lion always got the token from before. So lets say I summon a tuner off of halq, and I link it and then I bring it back to the field from the grave. Does it mean I still can’t use the tuners effect?
Ok, if u summon a tuner off Halq. If it goes to the GY, it forgets that it was summoned by Halq. Hence, you are allowed to use it’s effect
>
Thanks! So the combo still stays the same
>
So it is only active when it is face up on the field, and when it leave the field that effect ends, right?
Halq’s application of “u cant use the tuner’s effects” is only referring to the time period in which the tuner monster is on the field because of halq. Hence, the moment it hits the GY, it forgets it was summoned by Halq, and you are allowed to use its effect.
Qhat makes Halq different from Sangan is that halq doesn’t say monsters w/ that name.
shaddoll showdown is my favorite structure deck. either ETCO, PHRA, or LIOV are my favorite sets
Dinosmasher fury is my favorite structure deck, and my favorite set is duel overload, and etco
>
Nice, I love dinos and all the new support
>
Yeah LIOV is amazing
My favourite sets are Duel Devastator and Phantom Rage
>
Phantom rage was also cool since they got rusty down to 1
>
Thanks, I get it now
>
didn’t ash drop in duel devastator?
>
Yes I am pretty sure all the ghost girls did
Speaking of handtraps, Why does nobody even play phantasmay nowadays? It used to be really popular and now it even has a budget reprint.
no one plays phantazmay because it doesnt do much, isnt guaranteed, and there are just better handtraps
>
I see, it used to be so popular even 2-3 months ago – times have changed
I want cross out in the TCG soon omg that card is a game changer
Another RULING QUESTION – If Thunder Dragonroar uses it’s effect (when it is banished) and summons dragondark from the deck, does that mean in the end phase you get to return Dragondark to the hand even if it is not on the field?
Why wouldnt u be able to?
Is there something I’m missing, or does this involve something with the combo? (I haven’t looked at your btw)
>
No you are not missing anything (thats the ruling I also though was correct but some other dude commented in my video that it was wrong)- also I recommend looking at my combo if you haven’t already because I am really bad at explaining with words and also the combo is dangerously long and will take FOREVER to type up
you don’t return it to the hand.
>
Why exactly? It’s similar to borreload – even if the thing it took control of gets banished you send it to the grave on the next turn
You do return it to the hand I believe
No you don’t, I tested it.
Oh @Yugituber i had to watch your combo to figure it out. its because u sent it to the GY. Because it went to the GY, it is no longer on the field, and forgets that it was summoned by Dragonroar. If u were to summon it again later on in the turn, it wouldn’t remember that it was summoned by Roar.
>
I see, thanks for the confirmation
>
My bad sorry – you are correct
>
Yeah thanks for correcting me
Is there a replacement for buster lock? I mean armophage works but we don’t have dark matter anymore to operate that. By replacement I mean is there anything else you can equip with union carrier?
no
>
Wdym?
An example is Wizard Buster Destruction Sword
If you try Artifact shenanigans u can get there
>
Hmm ok, anything else?
if you can use something to pop your own artifact on your turn you can try something with it. i suggest using scythe.
>
So like unchained abomination? Or something like that?
the amorphage ritual monster fetches a dragoslayer from your deck to your hand if its sent from the field to the grave, it’s wording just says the field to the grave and not monster zone to the grave so it works with union carrior.
>
yeah! something like that!
>
There’s a ritual? I was taking about the pendulum that is a buster lock
>
But unchained only pops in the end phase
just so you know all amorphages except the ritual are buster locks
>
I’ll check it out – but can it be done with union carrier?
yes, it’s worded correctly, it’s kinda like dawn knight
if you equip it to a monster then use that monster as a link material it gets sent from the field to the graveyard and therefore it can fetch a dracoslayer monster from your deck and add it to your hand. this might help into pendulum plays or find a way to summon it and use your dragoslayer so summon a extra deck ddragoslayer, the dragoslayer extra deck monsters spawn other dragoslayers that allows you to extend plays
>
I wanted an extra deck lock, my end board does not need extenders – also union carrier cannot be linked
dragoslayers are also actually dragons so they can also be targeted by certain extenders
>
You don’t get the point – I already have a well established board, I do not need extenders, I wanted an extra deck lock for the opponent
don’t think there is one. the best there is is probably artifact scythe or amorphage goliath
I:P union carrier that’s equipped with scythe, that’s the best I have and I’m not even sure it’ll work but technically scythe would be destroyed.
>
Would leave the field not destroyed – is there a link/synchro (level 8 or 9) that can pop?
get it equipped to something then use I:P for knightmare phoenix? It pops when summoned
>
Too much work for just that
Is there a way to search a trap? Like sanctum (with an extra deck monster)
i don’t think so lol.
>
Auroradon can
oh and for the poll question my favorite is rage of ra because I have a fond memory of pulling the Winged Dragon of Ra Ghost Rare
>
WOW THATS AMAZING!
it got a little beat coming out of the pack but it is in pretty good shape, would you believe I just bought random packs at target because I was there?
If you can end on dagdga + halq you can do the scythe combo
>
LOL – you made a lot of money off of that one …
also I only buy singles never buy a booster box so Idk how this feels
I swear sometimes I’m the luckiest person in the world and other times my house implodes.
it was $20 worth of packs, 10 packs 5 cards a pack, 50 cards, the card I pulled is worth $200. I didn’t sell it, I don’t collect or anything but it’s really cool just to have it in my house.
>
I can totally relate to the house explodes –
I was dueling with a friend once (Toon Lord) and we both drew PSY-driver 3 times in a row – BOTH OF US – like what are the chances of that
I play a 50 card deck with 1 brick and Me and my opponent drew that brick (driver) 2 times in a ROW – this is about the time my house explodes
I cannot say the same for my luck tho
>
Oooh nice – you are a collector then? Or you just wanted it for satisfaction I assume
Got it at my local target, creepy part is that the check out guy was making small talk and asked me “which one has the golden ticket?” I still find it hard to believe that’s just a coincidence.
>
Lol – you don’t have to worry about luck when you buy singles tho, you always get what you need
And no I like to play, I just happened to be at the store getting some food and crossed the packs, being the dork I am I got 10 of them to increase my collection.
>
Lol nice – good thing you actually got the packs
Wasn’t expecting the ghost rare
>
I remember teamsam opened like 3 booster boxes and then finally pulled it lol
bummer for them, they should’ve went to target
>
Yeah Sam goes crazy for box openings – I remember he bought like 10 mega tins to pull a single dragoon, he could have just bought the single for $30 LOL
he does do some cool videos though, I liked the cheating god deck where he put in 20 pots of greed.
I could talk YuGiOh stuff all day but school’s real so I’m gonna have to go for now.
I could talk YuGiOh stuff all day but school’s real so I’m gonna have to go for now.
I think the only good replacement buster lock is Wizard Buster Destruction Sword – its not all bad, since a lot of graveyard decks are seeing play
yeah like drytrons and dinos
>
Dinos and drytrons use that?
Oh you meant dinos and drytrons use the grave my b
I think droll is a nice side option for this format because drytrons are meta
Dragon link may be tier 1 again if VFD is not banned by the time we get this… By looking at the ocg it looks like we are going to have VFD for a while
Since a lot of graveyard decks like eldlich, Virtual world, Dino, Prank-kids, PK and many other are seeing play, you can put in union carrier and Wizard Buster Destruction Sword instead of the dragoon package. This also means you play 2 less bricks
This is the best deck I ever see,like 87.5% to win,so good. How much time did you spend it on this deck.
