Dracotail

🇯🇵 ドラゴンテイル・🇨🇳 星宿

- Main Deck Dracotail Monsters are the ability to Set Dracotail Spells or Traps when they are sent to the GY as Fusion Material

- Dracotail disruption come from Trap cards, and monster effect resolve after Fusion Summon:

+ Trap Card: Dracotail Flame negates a Spell Card, Dracotail Horn bounces a Attack Position monster to hand, and Dracotail Sting banishes a card from their GY. The trap card has additional effect to shuffle Dracotail card from GY or banish to deck, to draw 1 card.

+ Effect resolved after Fusion Summon: Dracotail Mululu negate faceup monster, Dracotail Urgula destroy S/T, Dracotail Pan destroy monster if used as material, and Dracotail Arthalion return monster in field/GY to hand

- Dracotail Arthalion also help recover resources/hand trap to hand

- Dracotail fusion summon by effect of:

+ In their turn: Rahu Dracotail Fusion summon from hand/field/deck & Ketu Dracotail search and Fusion Summon if you have monster

+ In both turn: Fusion Summon by effect of Dracotail Mululu & Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous from field, Dracotail Faimena from hand

General Counter Tips:

- Try to stop Dracotail Arthalion add card back to hand.

- Summon your monster in DEF position to avoid Dracotail Horn.

- Most of their interruptions come from the hand, GY, and backrow, so monster-focused board breakers like Dark Ruler No More, Super Polymerization, Raigeki, or Dark Hole are largely ineffective. Instead, you need to handle their backrow, stop Fusion Summons, or prevent Fusion materials from reaching the GY.

Called by the Grave	Dracotail Faimena	Removes Dracotail's most crucial piece to make turn 0 plays and further prevents your opponent from using Faimena on their turn. Turn 2 and onwards they may dodge it by chaining any of the traps and placing her on the bottom of the deck.	Great	View Edit
D.D. Crow	Dracotail Faimena	Can be used to prevent the GY effect of Dracotail Urgula to add back Faimena or another Dracotail spellcaster.	Usable	View Edit

Dominus Impulse	- Dracotail Faimena on your turn - Rahu Dracotail - Ketu Dracotail turn 2	Not Yet	Great	View Edit
Droll & Lock Bird		The monsters set directly from deck when used as fusion material. Only has any value if they activate Ketu Dracotail to add Dracotail Lukias.	Bad	View Edit
Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion	- Any Dracotail trap when going 2nd - Dracotail Arthalion when going 1st	They usually Chain Block Dracotail Arthalion with other Dracotail monsters' floating effect, making the negate impossible.	Great	View Edit
Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit	Dracotail Mululu	Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit will destroy Mululu. which will deny your opponent from using Mululu as material, thus denying them from setting a Dracotail Spell/Trap and negating a monster on the field. If your opponent doesn't have another Dracotail monster, it will also stop them from Fusion Summoning. However, it is not very good as your opponent can just fuse away other materials in their hand, still progressing with their game plan, albeit with a little less advantage.	Weak	View Edit
Infinite Impermanence	Dracotail Arthalion	Arthalion can act as recursion and disruption with its effect.	Usable	View Edit
Maxx "C"		Maxx C on Dracotail only makes draw 1 (maybe 2) at most	Weak	View Edit
Mulcharmy Purulia	In their Draw Phase	Against bad Dracotail hand, they may give you 1 draw back (neutral on card advantage) if they need to normal summon Dracotail Mululu or Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous for a fusion, or Dracotail Lukias for a search. Otherwise, they will Fusion Summon with Faimena, Rahu, Ketu or Branded Fusion, and get you no draw.	Bad	View Edit
Nibiru, the Primal Being		Dracotail (pure and Branded) doesn't normally summon more than 4 times per turn. If you do meet the requirements to summon Nibiru, it will only be a speed bump because Arthalion and Gulamel can easily summon themselves back from the GY.	Weak	View Edit
Red Reboot	All 3 Dracotail traps.	The traps are Dracotail's main source of disruption, and the recycle + draw effect is crucial to the deck's play style.	Great	View Edit
Retaliating "C"	On spell effect.	Banish card to avoid recursion.	Great	View Edit
