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.
Frazier Smith and Jacob Haar both won their Feature Matches this weekend and are now facing off in a Match that pits Dragunities against Plant Synchro! Neither of these Decks is heavily represented in the Top 32, but either one of them may have what it takes to win the tournament. This Match is the first obstacle that both of these Duelists must face to get there!

Kevin Silva and Ramon Mera both have 8-2 records, which means their life in the tournament is at stake in this Match. Silva made it here with Dragunities, and his opponent, Ramon Mera, is running a Deck he nicknamed “Spirit Wings” – a Blackwing Deck that Main Decks 2 copies of Spirit Reaper. Lots of Icarus Attacks may be flying around in this Match, and effective use of it may prove to be difference between victory and defeat.

Jibri Thomas is currently undefeated with a Lightsworn Zombie Deck that runs Infernity Avenger. His opponent, Jose Mejia, is undefeated with Dragunities. Thomas’s Deck is explosive enough to deal over 8000 damage in a single turn, but Mejia’s Deck can spit out Level 8 Synchro Monsters each turn.Watch out for the crazy combos both of these Decks can pull off!
Dragunities are still going the distance, as we’re seeing here in this Match at Table 4! Six years ago in 2005, Anthony Alvarado won a championship right here in Charlotte, North Carolina! Today he’s undefeated save for a single draw, paired up against the undefeated Samurai Duelist Sean Coovert. We haven’t seen this matchup yet today, so it should be an interesting Feature Match!

Robbie Stargel is one of many Duelists running a Dragunity Deck in today’s tournament. But his build is unlike most others. Stargel’s Dragunity Deck uses Assault Mode Activate and Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode! Stargel aims to Summon Stardust Dragon first turn, just like most Dragunity Decks, but then upgrade his Dragon into an even stronger form. Manny Vargas is running a Chaos Plant Deck packing a full 3 copies of Chaos Sorcerer. Those 3 copies of Chaos Sorcerer could spell trouble for Robbie Stargel, who relies on Level 8 monsters like Stardust Dragon which can easily be removed from the Duel by Chaos Sorcerer’s effect.
Frazier Smith brought Gravekeeper’s to the forefront of Dueling with his win at YCS Atlanta. Now, he’s switched over to Dragunities, and his opponent, Josh Smith from Charlotte, North Carolina, stands against him with the very Deck that Frazier Smith once championed!. Frazier’s Dragon Ravines and Josh’s Necrovalleys will battle it out in this Match, as both Duelists rely on their Field Spells to dominate the Duel.
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. Decks like this one could prove to be a big part of the top table field this weekend: here’s how YCS Atlanta winnger Frazier Smith has built his version…
