Explanation time.
Grade 0:
The obvious starter is Lizard Soldier, Conroe.
With the basic cost of 1 CB you can search out any grade 1 from your deck.
This allows easy access to perfect guards, 8K boosters or any other grade 1 to help your situation.
The trigger line up is quite standard in the current meta.
8 criticals triggers to increase pressure on your opponent during all stages of the game.
Tahr and Dracokid have taken this role as solid 5K boosters, Rakshasha is no longer necessary.
Gatling Claw Dragon is the draw trigger of choice.
Dragon Dancer, Monica is a good choice as she is also a 5K booster but at the same time, Gatling Claw has the ability to snipe opposing starting vanguards such as Beast Deity, White Tiger and Lizard Soldier, Saishin.
Grade 1:
The start of the line up is really standard.
4 Perfect Guards is the only way I roll and 4 copies of the 8K booster is necessary.
Where the questions might start are just here:
The reason for this card is it is a solid 7K booster by itself and get get bigger at the cost of 1 counter blast.
His ability is an ACT ability which means as long as you can pay the cost you can continue to use his ability repeatedly within the same turn.
The rest of the line up is pretty standard.
2 copies of Kimnara have been working amazingly, late game I hate seeing her but when I can get her to work she fuels Highspeed Brakki as well as snipes my opponents boosters.
Flame of Hope Aermo, I prefer to Gojo and other cards that you have to rest as the beginning of the cost. They may have 1K more power but Aermo and clones can filter your hand as well as boost in the same turn.
Grade 2:
This line up is also very standard.
Some people chose to run 4 copies of Beserk Dragon, I personally chose not too, this deck has enough counterblast usage before hitting Limit Break capabilities but I will go into depth with that later.
The one thing you may not have been expecting to see is...
Highspeed Brakki is a card that was experimented with within Goku Kagero and people had mixed opinions on the card. Since I started testing the card I have loved it more and more every time.
A grade 2 that can hit 14K unboosted and can easily hit 21-22K with a booster sat behind him and only costs 1 Soul Blast (There is no need for a soul in this deck)
The down side of this card is that once he attacks and you have paid the cost he is sent back to the deck and shuffled into hiding.
Is this a downside though?
I would say it isn't. As I only run 2 Brakki I don't see him hugely often and I occasionally ride my grade 3 and call Brakki. Once Brakki has attacked he free's up a rear guard space allowing me to call a grade 3 in his place the following turn... Profit.
Grade 3:
This line up has been changed so much.
A lot of people love to run 4 copies of Dragonic Lawkeeper
He is the name sake of the deck and my favourite card in the world and is definitely worth running at least 3 of. But at the same time is 4 necessary?
I used to think yes and then I discovered the optimum rear guard selection.
Dual Axe Archdragon was made for this deck.
Once your opponent has less than 2 rear guards he turns into a 13K beast.
Palamedes did you turn into a dragon and join the dark side?
Once Dragonic Lawkeeper has broken the limits you have 2, 13K hard hitters waiting to start the onslaught seeing how Lawkeeper also gains a 3K boost.
Dragonic Executioner on the other hand is not a card people seem to even consider.
More people chose to run Dragonic Overlord as he has an 11K base and as a rear guard that is very significant but at the same time.
Dragonic Executioner attacking a vanguard with an 8K booster is 20K which forces 15K guard from your opponent if they have a 10K vanguard.
If Dragonic Overlord attacks with an 8K booster behind it, attacking a 10K vanguard only hits for 19K which would only force a 10K shield.
5K makes a difference.
Aesthetically this deck looks like the counter blast usage is quite high, but if you chose when the right time to use your counterblasts is the deck runs incredibly smoothly.
Iron Tail Dragon, Kimnara, Beserk Dragon and Lawkeeper all eat up Counter Blasts but you can time everything to a tee with a little bit of practice. And everyone runs heal triggers so those help too.
BREAK THE LIMITS!
DRAGONIC LAWKEEPER!!!
