Gun Dragons

[Stan Alda]

I made this for a now-aborted tournament designed around using really old decks (September 2008 banlist). I know this wouldn't last a minute in top-tier play, but do you think it'd work in an older meta?

If you're not putting any of the Fusions into the extra, the polys seem pointless to main.

Fixed.

Mystic Plasma Zone, Cost Down, 7 Completed, Blast Sphere, Lightforce Sword? Why are you running bad cards? I mean, those cards seriously hinder a deck like this, and this deck needs speed.

And why are you running 6 Normal Machine-Type monsters if you're not playing Rabbit and not using those machines for Gear Gigant X? Seriously, this deck lacks any real theme and it looks like you just searched out some random machines, added those crappy Barrel Dragons and called it a deck.

Seriously, if you want to make this idea of yours into a deck, you can't run the crappy cards I singled out, and you need to find a theme for the deck and focus on it. Since you're running the barrel dragons, you should concentrate on getting Gatling Dragon out.

Take notes from that video and make changed according to the new format.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see what you posted above the screenshot But anyways, changing the deck can't hurt. And no, the deck wouldn't have worked in any older meta.

That's the side deck, lol.

No, I meant Extra Deck, where Fusions and whatnot go.

Then you should update the screenshot as well, because idiots like me sometimes jump to post after they see the screenshot and don't bother to read the deck list under said screenshot. Anyways, I edited my post to be more constructive.

I generally include plenty of traps and defensive monsters should things go south. Considering Gatling Dragon's ATK isn't any better than Barrel's and the Blowbacks needed for Gatling are Level 6, I needed as much Tribute fodder as possible and a way to buff the low-level stuff if things aren't going well. As for the coin-flipping effects...yeah, those are stupid. I just like the idea of robot dinosaurs made out of guns.

Because you totally have to Summon the Barrel Dragons to get out Gatling Dragon. |: And if you want to have a decent chance of fighting back without using Gatling, you can use Black Salvo etc. etc.
