Guide and Discussion: Dragunity

Dragunity Dux

Spoiler:

Run 3. No questions asked. This card, along with Phalanx, which you'll see below is THE REASON to play this deck. Dux essentially translates into any level 6 synchro or any level 8 synchro.

Dragunity Phalanx

Spoiler:

Run 3. Once again, no questions asked. This, along with Dux, translates into a 1 card level 8 Synchro along with Dragon Ruler fodder

Dragunity Arma Mystletainn

Spoiler:

Run 2-3. It used to be run at 1 because we had access to more copies of Tempest as well as 3 Dragon Ravines, but now we need more copies in order to compensate for the loss.

Garuda the Wind Spirit

Spoiler:

Run 1-2. This card is only useful in hands where you can go off. However, the interaction this card has with Tempest is absolutely broken. Along with that, this card is searchable by Gae Dearg and can help extend your combos

Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite

Spoiler:

Run 1. This card is tutorable with Gae Dearg and is crucial for extending combos. You do NOT want to see it in your opening hand so don't try to run more than 1. Not to mention, you don't even need more than one copy

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon

Spoiler:

Run 1. You need it for the combo play.

The Ruler Engine

Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos

Spoiler:

Tidal, Dragon Ruler of Waterfalls

Spoiler:

Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms

Spoiler:

Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders

Spoiler:

Run Blaster, Tempest and then 1 copy of either Redox/Tidal. You do NOT want to open with any of these guys (other than Tempest). The Rulers provide the follow-up that you will most likely need along with an insane grind game. 

Level 1 Tuners

Flamvell Guard

Dragunity Corsesca

Run 2 copies of Flamvell Guard and 1 copy of Dragunity Corsesca. You need these guys so that you have more targets for Cards of Consonance and so that you can do things when you have access to just one Ruler.

Dragon Shrine

Spoiler:

Run 3. This card is the deck's replacement for Dragon Ravine. It dumps Phalanx and dumps Tempest, which you can then banish with either Garuda or another Ruler and tutor for the combo piece you're missing.

Cards of Consonance

Spoiler:

Run 3. You need it for consistency.

Soul Charge

Spoiler:

I heard generic versions Rekindling are pretty good. Run 3.

Gold Sarcophagus

Spoiler:

The deck's Reinforcement of the Army. Run the 1 copy you're allowed.

Trap Stun

Spoiler:

Run 1-2. It helps you go combo through backrow, but opening multiples really sucks.

Vanity's Emptiness

Spoiler:

Run 1-3. This deck can make the Stardust Spark/Vanity lock very easily, a set up which is basically a win condition. And even if you don't have that, it can just act as a pseudo Solemn Warning vs special summons.

Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana

Spoiler:

Run 3. This card is the stepping-stone synchro in the Dux-Phalanx play.

Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg

Spoiler:

Run 1. It sets up your combos and can let you wall up versus Maxx "C", but you do not need more than one.

Hieratic Dragon King of Atum

Spoiler:

Run 1-2. This card is an integral part of Dragunity combos.

Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack

Spoiler:

Run 1. This guy gives you something to do with your 2 Dragon Rulers and he's also probably one of the most powerful and safe cards you can go into.
