This is my first Master 1 with Red Dragon Archfiend deck. The deck prefers to go 1st and focuses on making as many innate interruptions it can make as possible, which are Red Supernova, RDA Abyss, Red Zone, Fiendish Golem, and/or Bystial Dis Pater (which can also be an extender) and other staples. Going 2nd, the deck mostly relies on staples like handtraps/breakers in order to win the game.
.
I finished my ladder with the pure RDA/Resonator deck. I had tried RDA deck with Bystial engine, which helped me reach Master 2 (before new pack). Playing RDA with Bystial mostly is just the usual Resonator comboing (since Bystial cards are just few and you may not see them). However, having Bystial engine allows the deck to have more interruptions and additional recovery effect. Lv 6 Bystials can help synchro summon RDA faster, and they can also be decent handtraps at times. However, since then Bystial cards got glued to my hand way too many times, like Branded Beast in my starting hand or Lubellion instead of Bystial handtraps going 2nd. Besides, playing the deck with Bystial means I must increase the deck size. By doing so, I had lesser chance of drawing handtraps/anti-handtraps, when I need them. All in all, Bystial is a good additional engine for the deck, but I feel my luck is better without them.

Hey light correction, D shifter does not stop us. Crimson & soul, gives us abyss,an patter so we still have moves. Sp summon crimson, nom summon soul, search W king,SN summon lv7, crimson effect SP summon vision in defense,lv1 resonator. An i think you can figure out the rest
@@Good-VibeingYou have a very good point.

Nice one!
Thats FYE❕🔥
Aye if he had an alt channel that’d be the perfect name 😁
The Return of the King, Jack Atlas
Insane! Such good content! There is just something about swarming the field with badass dragons that just feels right
Dragons will always feel right xD
Thank you for bringinthis deck back to me your galaxy eyes videos were always my fan favorite to watch 🥳 love your appreciation & grind for yugioh 💯🔥
Glad you like them!
@@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990 always thank you for your consistency 💯🔥
That Lab duel was insane.
I picked up a load of resonator cards in a pack last night and hadn't seen them before so was reading them thinking they could be a very powerful deck, then this is the first video suggestion for me this morning! Absolutely fantastic work mate, keep up the good work 😁
Thanks
"Like Kaiba ripping 4th Blue-eyes" XD You are a king
I like this set up, i never thought of putting in skull meister but he is a level 4 so it make sense. Great vid
Its handtrap effect is pretty decent as well ngl.
@18:07, writing "pros and cons" is better than "pluses and minuses". Overall great video though! Very informative. Makes me want to play them too.
Noted!
This is fantastic❤. Another great vid. Don't forget me when you're free brother. The Gaia deck. Love your videos❤❤❤.
Glad you like them.
That duel with kash was fun to watch I was wondering how you where gonna win after the maxx c but after u summoned OG red dragon I knew what you where going for
I like how you fully negated that player 😂 good plays. !!!
I love that RDA has become a menace. Been playing it on MD since the start, basically :D
Nice! List is basically identical to @truepowerlive and my list. We just cut it down to 40. Extra is basically the same. Nice to see two pure RDA decks make Master 1!
Cool, thanks!
Amazing job
Thanks!
Hope u can make ur replays 60fps so its not so painful to watch ur videos in slow motion Love your videos btw ❤
You are a pro ✌️
crimson gaia can add either starter or interruption is so busted by anime deck's standard
had some poor guy play this deck and i had the perfect counter hand with 1 ash 1 imperm and 3 bystials lol good video as always btw
That's a nightmare for people playing this deck ngl
Was wondering why I was doing so well with Tear against this deck, the backrow was what won
I like the Absolute Powerforce !!!! scene hahaha wwww 🤣🤣
Me too
Absolute Power Force, if one can resolve it, feels like it abuses the ancestors of your opponent.
What do you think about Zalamander Catalyzer? Worth considering? Both extension + recursion.
GRASP!! No void orge
the deck struggles going second deck, so for that you need very reliable board breakers x3 evenly match x2 lightning storm x3 max c and bystials so to make it consistent I added x2 allure of darkness and chaos witch to compensate the draw 2 and banish chaos witch to have on the field 2 tuner tokens you can make Calamity right away and If you got maxed c you get 2 extra cards and you have a chance of getting bystials or max c for the next turn you always want to make resonator 1 card combo for last. Another good staple that I would recommend its replacing impermanence for forbidden droplet a good example is evenly or lightning storm plus forbidden droplet its so devastating.
It definitely struggles to go 2nd with the few games I have tested on the ladder so I might try your recommendations, thanks.
Is it ok to push the deck’s card count to 45? I really like to add in board breakers to allow for more rooms in case of going second but cant find too much space to trim the core cards
@@ReidemnaYes you can. As of the decklist, the deck has 15 1.5 card starter, which means the deck should still be consistent enough if you play 3 more breakers (I listed the alternative cards in the video description). Still, you need to remember that the downside of higher deck size can mean you will have lesser chance of drawing anti handtraps when you go first. In the end, I think it's up to you.
@@Reidemna you can but I would say to be more consistent keep it at 42 or 41 allure of darkness its very important it can extend your plays and if you did banish a dark monster due to its mandatory effect you can bring that card back with bystial dis pater. i got rid of ash blossom and infinite impermanence they are not that effective in this meta instead I use max c, call by the grave for the annoying graveyard effects and droplet for boardbreaking with evenly match.
@@EdwarOrellanadrop a decklist!
At 17:35 negating scareclaw kashtira was actually unnecessary, because crimson gaia could have flipped it face down by attacking with RDA on either shangrila or unicorn, therefore preventing its negate. This would have allowed you to keep abyss’ negate as well.
The moment I declare attack on any Kashtira with RDA, Scareclaw Kash continuous eff triggers and negates my RDA's eff until the end of the turn. I think this effect is lingering, not continuous, so my RDA would still be negated, even if Scare Kash was flipped. Also, I didnt need to save Abyss's eff, because I dont think I need to negate other monsters' effects on battle phase than Scare Kash.
@@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990 Yeah there was no need to save Abyss but I thought it ought to be an interaction to be aware of :). Though ScareKash actually works as I said at least in the OCG and therefore MD, in the TCG I believe it should work as you said. I found a Reddit post explaining that the english text of ScareKash does not accurately represent how the card works in the OCG, here it is: Scareclaw Kashtira's English text does not definitively match its Japanese behavior. The below comments only reflect its Japanese functionality. They do not necessarily apply to its English version. Q: While I control Scareclaw Kashtira, my "Kashtira" monster attacks my opponent's monster. If my Scareclaw Kashtira later has its effects negated, or ceases to be face-up on the field, what happens to the effects of my opponent's monster? A: The effect of Scareclaw Kashtira is an effect that is continuously applied to your opponent's monsters. If it ceases to apply, such as because Scareclaw Kashtira's effects are negated, or because Scareclaw Kashtira is no longer face-up on the field, the effects of your opponent's monsters cease to be negated.
"The King has risen to reclaim his throne at the top of the world " P.S. Konami really needs to add a few more animations for this deck ASAP
Agreed
I need to build that deck
Bruh, no king of calamity? This is the awakening of darkdragon 😮
I run A VERY similar deck to you like we run 3 different cards between us so I'm interested in youe tweaks it definitely better that 1st turn play I can ar best RDA, Abyss and Dis on my field adding bane so shocking I'm surprised i didn't see a play like that
I got an ad right when he said this is for you who watch till now...im dead.
KZhead's sense of joke is unpredictable at times xD
You really should start streaming mateeeee
what's the point of red nova dragon? Trying to fill out my list in the ED, could go calamity but idk if that's the move. Maybe shenshen or ogre?
Why didn't the Tired Tapir put your monsters in the defense? Great video.
It only does that if it's on defense position.
I run red reign in my RDA this card busted under max c just summon scared red dragon archfiend and pass turn
It’s a op cards but it’s hard to get it
@@daiki8708 true but when it resolve you win the duel I resolved it vs snake eyes after he summon princess instant scoop 🤣
@@mohammedjuha925We have another RDA card coming that can help with that
The issue of the card is that it's not searchable but after we get the flame crime king it'll become a more viable option
That's a good card, which will be better when Red Lotus King comes to MD. I like how it doesnt let you minus of Bone's discard, since you can recycle it right after
Why don't u use 3 forbidden lance -dress to protect ur lv6 synchro starter? U can't rely on only one copy of crossout to avoid getting imperma, diabelstar trap etc. Sick replays and gameplay btw.
Those are good cards. The reason why I dont use them: 1. I dont always open them. If I do, I may need other staples for better matchups in general ladder meta 2. Lance can protect against Imperm (or spell/trap effects), but handtraps are mostly monsters and my games were mostly against monsters, not backrows. 3. Dress cant protect if lv 6 synchro gets targetted, because it's too late 4. Imperm on Red Rising can stop the deck, but people sometimes negate Soul Resonator instead (which stops the combo if you dont have other extenders). What I mean to say is, I sometimes use Soul to bait Imperm/Veiler negates if I have other extenders like Bone archfiend
@@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990 that's why these types of deck like RDA it's a Right direction in the game. Decks like snake eye have almost zero choke points and that don't create a healthy environment to the competitive and don't help people being better duelist because the deck is so busted that they can just auto pilot without being really punished.
This is epic I can't lie.
Question between the two decks witch one is better if you had to go with one?
I think I will choose the one without Bystial engine (you can still play them as handtraps) because of reasons I mentioned in description
I'm so close to getting my red dragon archfiend deck and also question: is it ok to play three copies of vision resonator instead of two copies?
I dont think that's optimal, because you rarely wants to see 2 or more copies of it in your hand. Instead, you want to summon it of Crimson's eff most of the time. There can be a time when you want to extend with it ngl, especially if your opp negates Soul/Red Rising and you have any high lv monsters (like lv 6 or lv 7 dark dragons) to syncro summon scarred or abyss afterwards. Still, these cases are rare, and too many tuners (and no non tuners) in starting hand may not help you synchro summon, so 2 vision just feels right to me.
@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990 ok cool and thanks for taking the time to answer cause I've been a little bit confused as to why I see people play two copies of vision resonator but now I know
I don't know which to pick up this deck or unchained
Add Scarlet Security to ur deck and lab is toast
This may be a dumb question but how do I set multiple back row cards at once instead of one by one?
You can't, it's just very sped up in the replay without the set action
Question: why your scarlight rda didn't destroy your dis pater and abyss when it activates its effect at 15:20 without activating the effect of soul to not have them destroyed? Awesome video tho with explanation
Because scarlight destroys special summoned monsters with atk less than or equal to its atk. Basically, if your dragons are stronger than it, they will be safe from its effect.
Next time first video is enemy was using negate while you cook
Fiend finally can spawn their tuners like synchron now !😂
It's a very easy wipe board by Albaz. Any against tips? :(
People mostly dont play Alba Lenatus in my ladder. If you worry about it, I think you can negate Fusion Deployment, or if you play Bystial engine, turn your chain on, so you can destroy the monster opp set (like Albaz). Otherwise, it's bad luck ngl
@@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990 I'm not good at combo decks, so I tried a stun deck. Could you make some videos about stun decks? Your videos are really easy to understand. Thank you.
anything i can swap with bystial dis patar? 30 € too much in rl for 1 card imo
That card is just too good for this deck tbh. You can play another lv 10 synchro, but you will realize they wont be as good as DisPater for this deck.
I know this deck inside out and losing to just one disruption doesn't lead to master 1. Speaking from experience. Not to mention when going second is nearly impossible to win even against poor boards. With crossout designator at 1 it's a nightmare playing through handtraps/imperm.
I guess you never play around handtraps? You can bait them, like I showed in the video.
A Nibiru to the face after resolving Rising Dragon and before summoning any of the Archfiend dragons completely immobilizes this deck in most situations.
There is a line that no one goes for that plays through Nibiru involving opening Crimson + Soul. 1. Crimson ef 2. Ns Soul add bone 3. Bone discard a card in hand to summon himself 4. Bone send Vision increasing his level to 5 and adding Gaia 5. Synchro into Scarred with Soul + Bone 6. Crimson ef to summon 2 Skynkrons Now you can get nibbed but Scarred and Synkrons will trigger their efs. Your end board will be Dis Pater + Fiendish Golem at least. If they don't Nibiru at that point you can use Scarred + 2 Synkrons + Crimson for Supernova that plays around Nibiru.
True, but Nibiru is only 3 copies max, and most only play 1 or 2, so you shouldnt get Nibirued every game (unless Konami consistently gives Nibiru to your opp's hands)
Geez, It's almost like you have to draw nibiru first. that's like saying "just draw the out" my god 😂😂
@@LightDragon-DuelEnjoyer9990speak of the devil, konami just dropped the most recent event where nibiru is guaranteed in starting hands😂
I can still make plays even nibured. This will only work if you have bystial engine, you activate lubellion you search druiswarm you special summon it and tribute it for lubellion I dont use bystials trap cards just the continuous spell then you active crimson Gaia to add vision and then you special summon it and you make dis pater.
Music?🎉
In the description
what is Fiendish Golem for?
Very mediocre disruption but it can also give dis pater a negate. Also you can even summon that target to your field if it's light/dark attribute.
I think u use the wrong music . Should use jack atlas theme for this video 🙃🙃
The theme is closely similar to Jack Atlas theme tho
