(Somewhat) Budget Dragon Link deck
Deck Primer
My first ever decklist!
Someone on Dueling Nexus asked me for this decklist, so I've decided to make one on YGOProDeck. This deck can reliably get out an Borrelend Dragon + a dark level 8 Synchro of your choice while remaining cheap (~$87 on TCGPlayer with a $20 Borrelend for a total of $108). Note that this deck is made as an fun deck for local plays, although you can "competitively" play this against top decks by adding staples, expensive cards and a proper side deck.
Card choices, basic combos & Alternatives
-3x Black Metal Dragon: Your best starter. Normal summon, then link it into Striker Dragon to add BSL & Darkness Metal. Banish Striker Dragon for Darkness, reborn Black Metal then link into Romulus. Add Dragon Ravine ( or Divine Lance for a free dragon if you already have Tracer in your starting hand) and Wyvern as discard fodder (sometimes synchro material with Romulus' effect). Special summon Tracer (and possibly another Rokket) using your BSL and work toward an Borrelend Dragon + Tracer using Elpy, Quadborrel and Dillingerous Dragon. If you've used Tracer's effect before, use Borrelend to reborn your level 4 Rokket is always an option, but I usually save it for something like an Shelrokket or Silverrokket.
x1 Magnarokket/Shelrokket/Silverrokket/Anesthrokket Dragon: Fun cards, although gimmicky to resolve. Magna provides non-targeting removal, Shel literally "shoots" your opponent's monster with an interesting "fragmentation" effect, Silver can sometimes win you the game (by banishing your opponent's single copy of Meow-Meow-Mu, etc) and Anes as a free negate. They all float into other Rokkets during the End Phase, providing you the ability to push for game using Borrelsword or powerful level 8 Synchros such as Draco Berserker of the Tenyi. Always replaceable with hand traps if you already have them.
x2 Rokket Caliber: Nice extender that gets your Rokkets in position, also is a free level 4 tuner. This card haven't been released in the TCG though. If released, I think that it won't really change the $108 price of our deck as a common in BODE. (Seriously, I pulled a playset without spending more than ~$5 on 3 packs.) Ditch it for other cards if other players insult you for playing an OCG card.
x3 Forbidden Chalice: Budget replacement of Dark Ruler No More and Forbidden Droplet. Swap them out if you already have one of those expensive cards.
x1 Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend: You won't be using this card regularly, but sometimes this can be more than enough to ruin your opponent's day. Board wipe + Burn, also has nice interactions with Borreload Dragon.
1x Beelze: Fun to beat your opponent.
1x Draco Berserker of the Tenyi: Your worse but cheaper Borrelsword.
1x Firewall eXceed: Can become a cheap 5k beatstick.
-If you have the financial ability, go for 3x Crossout Designator+ 1 each of Nibiru and Ash Blossom. This deck dies to Nibiru and Ash and a single copy of Called By The Grave isn't going to help. (If you're broke like us Vietnamese duelists, use proxies to play with your friend. A $100 card is about 1/4 the average monthly salary of us.)
Thanks for reading this! Hope you enjoy dueling with my decklist!
Post-Script: Sorry for my broken English ;-; I'm not very good at writing long guides.
UPDATE: Ditched the Chaos Ruler for an Borreload Savage.
UPDATE#2: Knightmare Unicorn & Chaos Ruler to replace Firewall eXceed and Beelze. Thanks for the great advice!
