NEXUS

Executive Summary

The Dragunity archetype is defined by its unique symbiotic relationship between Winged Beast "riders" and Dragon "steeds." This core mechanic, where riders equip Dragon Tuners from the hand, Deck, or Graveyard, has evolved from a mid-range strategy into an explosive, hyper-combo deck. Modern support, centered around the Field Spell Dragon Ravine, allows the deck to consistently "Synchro Climb" into multiple high-impact boss monsters, establishing formidable end boards in a single turn.

The Core Engine: Ravine, Riders, and Steeds

The deck's power is built upon a tight-knit group of starters and extenders that search, special summon, and recycle each other with incredible efficiency.

Starters

Dragunity Remus: The ultimate starter. Discards itself to search for Dragon Ravine, and can revive itself from the GY.

Dragon Ravine: The deck's heart. Discards a card to either search a Dragunity monster or send a Dragon from deck to GY.

Riders

Dragunity Legatus: A free Special Summon while you control a Dragunity card, providing instant Synchro material.

Dragunity Dux/Senatus: Key Normal Summons that equip Dragon Tuners from the GY (Dux) or Deck (Senatus).

Steeds

Dragunity Phalanx: The classic Level 2 Tuner. Special Summons itself from the Spell/Trap Zone when equipped.

Dragunity Couse: A more flexible Level 2 Tuner that can also modulate its Level, enabling precise Synchro plays.

  • Omni-Negate: Provides multiple negations for any card effect by equipping a Link monster from the Graveyard.
  • ATK Boost: Gains significant ATK, making it a powerful offensive and defensive tool.

  • Continuous Removal: Offers repeatable, non-targeting banishes by sending equipped Dragunity cards to the GY.

Competitive Analysis

Strengths

  • Hyper Consistency: Access to Dragon Ravine via Remus makes the core combo incredibly reliable.
  • High Ceiling: Capable of producing end boards with multiple layers of interaction and negation.
  • Resilience: The revival effect of Remus and GY effects of spells provide ways to play through single disruptions.

Weaknesses

  • Choke Points: Highly vulnerable to hand traps that negate the initial search for Ravine or the Normal Summon's equip effect.
  • Nibiru Vulnerability: The long combo chains easily summon more than five monsters, making the deck a prime target for Nibiru.
  • Dragon Lock: The Remus line locks you into Dragon Extra Deck monsters, restricting access to generic power cards like Baronne de Fleur.

Hybrids & Engines

  • Bystial Engine: Synergizes perfectly by providing free Level 6 Dragon extenders, enabling access to powerful Synchros like Bystial Dis Pater.
  • Dragon Link Staples: Easily incorporates generic Dragon support like Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon and Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres to extend combos.

Banlist Impact

The Dragunity archetype itself is largely untouched by the TCG banlist, but key synergistic cards it relies on are affected.
