Oh god those Link Monsters are nutty. Let dragons take their rightful place once more! Also Tempest !!!! in the OCG

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Tempest, 3 Lightning, 3 Super Rejuv

 

It's time

[Tinkerer]

It's... actually really surprising to me how little support there is for low level Dragon monsters. No easy way to search 'em, dump 'em, recover 'em, etc.

 

Welp... damn.

 

ANYways, Dragons got their own Icarus Attack. Never thought I'd see the day. Anyone else think the crater in the pic looks a little like the Ice Barrier symbol?

 

Field Spell in Blue-Eyes? Prolly not, but that deck would probably use it better than this one.

 

The Links are hilarious but the MD is underwhelming. Wonder how people are gonna use the Link-2?

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

The best part is that the Icarus attack TRIBUTES

[XenoPhobia]

Why the heck Elpy is DARK? Based on the art, it should be LIGHT...

 

Also, am I imagining things, or does Andrake's effect means that it could actually turn into a 4K beatstick?

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

In OCG this deck will basically be a LaDD control build. You can get advantage off cards like Lev, REDMD, and Tempest. 

 

It's super easy to search Destrudo and the deck can make a wide range of Dragon Synchros. Trish seems to be the best one. 

 

And Rejuv+LaDD seals off the hand traps

[Blake]

Damn. Imduk got funked up.

 

It's also neat that World Chalice Guardragon is part of this deck, even if it feels like the World Legacy continuous trap is the only reason to play this deck... 

 

 

There's definitely combos to be had, especially since you can sheet REDMD out of deck for 2 card combos. Then revive it. Then summon a big dude from ED

 

EDIT: oh yeah dark matter still exists and you can just summon a GE Xyz before going into it

You can also get a random Galaxy from ED, and overlay DMD for the 3x Foolish +  Banish....against a deck like Sky Strike or Geist that will hurt

ye, i had put that in as an edit at the same time you posted this lol

 

DMD is probably the best thing you can do early.

I still think this deck should go for turn one Light and Darkness, it can do it easily enough with Tempest and wyvern. And that will almost certainly buy a turn against most decks. And if LaDD dies these shits get effects off being revived from the grave.

Wait, how many low level dragons does that deck run?  If the deck's already got solid plays like a consistent LaDD, why run these?

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

Agarpain is really good. Locks you into Dragons but you can make it after using some non-Dragons. Cool negates to get off of Agarpain include Hope Harbinger, Crystal Wing, and especially Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss (probably the coolest of the negates). Probably some nasty boards to be made.

It doesn't yet, these cards let you tool out the good dragons rapidly. Namely the dragon synchro arsenal, REDMD, Tempest, and Wyvern

Yeah but... you still need the startup to get anywhere, right? You'd need 3 low level dragons (or 2 + the continuous spell) plus a means of moving your Links around (or, again, the continuous spell).

 

The payoff is powerful, but I don't see a consistent way of it working out yet (at least not without devoting more of your Deck to this than your other tools).

 

 

...alternatively, Konami could be making more low level Dragon support as we speak and this sentiment will be outdated in a few more days.

Lightning is a low level dragon. 

 

There's cards like Sniffer and Solider Dragon and Kidmodo Dragon

[The Highlander]

Nice ... Rocket support.

 

Especially with Guardragon of the World Legacy.

These are completely generic and the Link monsters allow tutoring out Link Materials, as well as getting out a "free" Borrel Link 4 monster, while the 2 used Links (for the double arrows) supply the materials for a second Borrel Link 4.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

I came up with this starting series of plays.
1. Have a LV1 Dragon and the Continuous Spell.
2. Summon the LV1 Dragon.
3. Go for Linkuriboh.
4. Activate the Continuous Spell, bringing back the LV1 Dragon.
5. Go for Elpi, then move Elpi to the right of Linkuriboh.
6. Use Elpi to get Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon from Deck.
7. Use REDMD to SS the LV1 Dragon from the GY.
8. Use all 4 for a Borrel or Saryuja.

One card borrels that don't need your normal exist. The real grail is the double DMD - LADD play

And what is that play, if I may ask?

[vla1ne]

Seeing as i run buster bladers, i can't wait for this deck to try and  become meta.

 

on a serious not though, the dragonic icarus attack is going to make dragon decks that much more difficult to deal with. the field spell, and quite a few of the monsters would fit pretty well in heiratic builds as well.

[Atypical-Abbie]

Interesting stuff here, Normal Monsters and Dragons are once again doing stuff, I take it that you want to combine these with other Archetypes, much like how many other World Legacy works, so that could help a lot here. Left and Right pointers are unique, using them could be awkward, but the Continous Spell can help that out. Dunno about the design and such, can't tell from mobile.

card lore for those who care:

 

You like cryptic and frightening text? Good! We’re going to bring you plenty.

 

 

星鍵は流れぬ涙を流し、天命は果たされる。
神の門は嘶き崩れ、蛇は守人の夢幻を喰らう。
其の魂は始まりの地に、彼の魂は終極の地に。
―此処に神獄たる星は開かれん。

 

The World Key sheds tears that do not flow, as destiny is fulfilled.
The Gates of the Divine crumble before the braying, and the snake devours the dream of the protector(s).
That soul lies in the place where it all began, while their soul lies in the place where it all shall end.
— This star, this world, is a divine prison that should never be unlocked.

「星遺物」より生まれし竜―。 世界の行く末を占う戦いもついに終極へと向かう…。

“The dragon(s) born of the “World Legacy”. The battle over the fate of the world finally reaches its climax… …”

Looking at this regarding the fact this is Dragons that work with Normal Monsters you could put stull like Alexandrite Dragon and Galaxy Serpent in as they would give you a 2000 ATK Level 4 and a Second Level 2 Tuner in order to support the deck.
