With Dragunities still so new in Championship-level Dueling, a lot of great Duelists are approaching the deck from different perspectives. We showed you the focused, control-heavy build played to a Top 16 finish by Frazier Smith. Now, let’s look at a teched out version that was used by Victor Santana that does some cool stuff and has some great moves that Smith’s Deck can’t quite replicate.
Jonathan Barber won our Round 6 Feature Match with his Flamvellsworn Deck this weekend, recovering from an early Royal Tribute in 2 Duels and securing victory with a swarm of Synchro Monsters. Now, he’s 8-1 in the tournament with a Deck he’s been running for over a year, wiping out opponents all over the tournament floor with his power-plays enabled by Rekindling.
A lot of competitors are playing cool new strategies here today, and 2-time YCS winner Jeff Jones is no exception! While other Duelists are exploring Dragunities, Miracle Geminis, or other up-and-coming Deck types, Jones is striking out on a path less traveled. His goal?

On the other end of the spectrum, Shooting Star Dragon and Red Nova Dragon opened up some truly spectacular combos and unprecedented payoffs for the Deck’s key plays, and Fish Duelists haven’t looked back since. Montreal’s Nicky Lacaille is 1 of the Duelists competing with this up-and-coming darkhorse pick this weekend: after a successful showing with Fish at an Ottawa Regional last November, here’s what he’s running today…

Four months ago, Frazier Smith broke new grounds with Gravekeepers, winning YCS Atlanta! Now he’s back, and once again taking up a new strategy to get an edge on the competition: Dragunities. Smith’s playing a minimalistic build that’s all about big, easy Synchro Summons with Dragunity Dux, and heavy control with Dragunity Legionnaire and a deep Trap lineup. If you’re not familiar with the Dragunity strategy, take a minute to check out the Official Strategy Site for a quick recap.
