Last night I took part in my local Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament, using Red Dragon Archfiend. We got 2nd places (joint) with a 3-1 record, 8-3 in games, which I’m really happy with. My best record over the course of the tournaments I’ve played in, and I’m glad I can do it with a rogue deck like RDA.
I’ll be working on a combo guide for RDA soon to show some of the plays I used in the tournament which will come out in 2 weeks time, followed by fortnightly Yu-Gi-Oh! content going forward, with deck profiles, combo guides and top cards for decks.

As someone who has played RDA since its release, I will share my decklist with you, as well as possible alternatives, in case it is too expensive or you need more cards. It is a 52-card deck, the ratio is amazing, and in 99.9% of the games, I am getting the cards I need Main deck: Monsters: 3x The Bystial Lubellion 3x Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3x Soul Resonator 2x Crimson Resonator 2x Vision Resonator 2x Synkron Resonator 2x Bone Archfiend 1x Obsessive Uvualoop 1x Wandering King Wildwind 1x Zalamander Catalyser 1x Skull Meister 1x Bystial Saronir 1x Bystial Druiswurm 1x Bystial Magnamhut 1x Centur-ion Truder 1x Centur-ion Primera 1x Centur-ion Gargoyle II Spell Cards: 3x Crimson Gaia 3x Stand Up Centur-ion 2x Resonator Call 2x Triple Tactics Talent 1x Foolish Burial 1x Terraforming 1x Called by the Grave 1x Absolute Powerforce Trap Cards: 3x Infinite Impermanace 3x Skill Drain 1x Anti-spell Fragrance 1x Centur-ion Phalanx 1x Etude of the Branded 1x Branded Beast 1x Red Zone Extra Deck: 2x Red Rising Dragon 2x Scarred Dragon Archfiend 1x Red Dragon Archfiend 1x Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane 1x Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss 1x Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity 1x Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend 1x Dark End Dragon 1x Kuibelt the Blade Dragon 1x Bystial Dis Pater 1x Centur-ion Auxila 1x Crimson Dragon 1x Tirshula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier Side Deck: 3x Effect Veiler 3x Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion 3x Nibiru, The Primal Being 1x Red Rising Dragon 1x Red Dragon Archfiend 1x Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss 1x Red Supernova Dragon 1x Vagnawa the Moon-eating Dragon 1x Centur-ion Legatia Optional cards as alternatives: 2x Assault Synchron 2x Fiendish Golem 2x Sychro Zone 1x Wandering King Wildwind 1x Bone Archfiend 1x Vision Resonator 1x Resonator Call 1x Branded Regained (not recommend - as you do not want to have cards that are banished for Red Zone and Dis Pater) 1x Red Zone 1x Fiendish Chain A small explanation of the deck. You have 3 different engines that work perfectly together. With these cards, the only issue for this deck is Super Polymerization; any other boardbreaker is fine. You can even play when the opponent slaps you with a Nibiru - at any point in the game. The Resonator engine helps you build the dark synchro dragons with 2 negates and a destroy with follow-up effects. The Bystial engine stops your opponent (in case they play Light or Dark) or extends your play. The Centurion engine helps you get to the Calamity lock super easily because of the Crimson Dragon. It might be an option to give it a try for the deck list I have. So far, I have had no issues with Unchained/Yubel, Fire King Snake-eye (maybe I got lucky), Purelly, Dragon Link, Heros, Runnick-stun Fur Hire, Marincess, Rescue-Ace, Branded - any combination, Swordsoul, Ashened etc. My recommendation :D Anyways great video

I’ve looked into the centurion engine a little bit with RDA, and I admit, I’m intrigued, I’m just missing the entire engine and crimson dragon unfortunately. I’ll still take a good look through all of this, because I’m always looking to improve, and I’ll definitely be posting more RDA profiles in the future especially with new support and as I get better. Thank you for watching and your advice, it’s really appreciated.

@anthonyvenedicto518 Месяц назад

I like this list, but personally, I would prefer playing the pure version bc Bystials and Centurions aren't the best extenders. Yes they do allow you to establish huge boards with major negates and a higher chance at OTK, but at the cost of adding several bricks that cannot extend if you get Hand trapped. Plus the focus of this Deck really isn't about Calamity locking, it's usually about the 1 card starters and breaking boards while OTK'ing quickly. Not trying to be a hater, this is just my personal viewpt on these 2 engines in RDA

@BuxtonneTCG Месяц назад

@@anthonyvenedicto518 everyone’s entitled to their opinion, you’re cool, never thought you were being a hater at all. You argued your point well, my viewpoint is is that Calamity is one of the most broken effects, and if you get chance to summon it from putting 6 cards in the deck plus Calamity in the extra, then I’d take it and run with it. However, I fully expect Calamity to be banned in the next list, which means we’ve got about a month of this profile before I switch to a more board breaker pure resonator/fiend list, with added crossout protection from hand traps. I see deck profiles as ideas. I’ve watched a number of profiles, and settled on something I like by combining multiple of them. This is me giving the bystial option a voice to those who want to know what to do with the last few slots of their deck.

@Agnacsu 2 месяца назад

You can play Bystial control if you add more Bystial cards. What’s in your side deck?

@BuxtonneTCG 2 месяца назад

You could yeah, but I just wanted enough bystial’s to be able to reliably summon King Calamity, but keep the heart of the deck being RDA As for the side deck, I’d go with a bunch of cards for going second, so 3 cyclone, 1 duster, 3 nibiru, 3 veiler, 2 droll and then 1 each of Saronir, Baldrake and Branded Beast because they’re really useful for slowing down branded players especially, which I have a couple of at my locals. Starting with a bystial and banishing a fallen of albaz always feels good.

@victorleppas3067 Месяц назад

To me, an underated card is Scarlet Security at least in the side deck, A Harpy Feather Duster you can easily search or recover from grave is still good to have

@BuxtonneTCG Месяц назад

Absolutely worth looking at as a side deck option. Like you say, being able to search it is very useful.

Once I have my hands on Red Lotus King I was going to experiment with builds like this ahead of the inevitable Calamity ban. Good profile

@BuxtonneTCG 2 месяца назад

It’s one of my favourites too. I had him in my terribly created deck when I was young, so when they released the new support I was all over it. I think with your set up, I’d be worried about getting locked out of a couple of cards there. The Brionac, Black Rose and Crystal wing dragons all get locked out of early in the combos, but can all be good if you avoid getting locked out. Scarred Dragon Archfiend is so powerful too, you might want to look that up. Thanks for sharing!

Ok, I’m very interested in what you’re running in the main deck if it’s a more spell and trap strategy now.

@aderherz7795 2 месяца назад

Great profile. Why play red nova dragon ?

@BuxtonneTCG 2 месяца назад

Yeah it’s pretty poor, but I didn’t have anything else to go instead. Void Ogre Dragon would be the better call, but I don’t have it yet. Unless you just need damage. Thank you for watching.

@Harmonic14 Месяц назад

@@BuxtonneTCGVoid Ogre isn't great either. You want to play the deck with a lot of hand traps, and that conflicts with Void Ogre. If you really need a level 8 dark dragon, Dark End Dragon is an option

@BuxtonneTCG Месяц назад

@@Harmonic14 agreed, another good option. It is however, far more expensive for a card which is unlikely to be used all that much, and I do want my decks to be fairly budget friendly both for me and my viewers. It might be a card I buy in the future, and any future RDA profiles I’ll mention it as an option over the Void Ogre that I’ve bought now. Thank you for watching and for your comment, it’s very much appreciated.

@anthonyvenedicto518 Месяц назад

@Harmonic14 FR, I'm looking into grabbing a DED for my RDA deck. I do agree with your view on VOD. There are just so many resources and hand traps that this Deck relies on, and at that pt, VOD becomes a useless beatstick.

@BuxtonneTCG Месяц назад

@@anthonyvenedicto518 also looking into DED myself now. Shame it’s a bit more expensive currently.
