I am poor. Structure decks are cheap. Playing variations of a Structure Deck is fun, for a locals level, and maybe some day I'll be able to afford good cards.

This deck is geared towards a Locals with quite a bit meta presence. The people here play Tier 2 and higher usually, except for Rob, who plays nothing but Blackwings. Crow is dead, Rob, and so are you.

Any suggestions and cards that really help the deck, but are pricey, I might consider. Please take budget into account when reading the following list.

Monsters (16)

3x Arkbrave Dragon

Literally the deck. Special Summons another Level 7 or 8 Dragon from the grave (except Arkbrave Dragon) during the next standby phase. Additionally, chaining it's On-Summon effect to a flipped Floodgate via Call of the Haunted is an awful lot of fun.

3x Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand

A big beater, who Banishes monsters from the Field or Graveyard, then gains a lot of ATK based on the Level of the Banished monster. I've banished things like Tzolkin, Leo, Trishua, etc with this guy, and the result is a 4.8K Beater who also Special Summons a level 7/8 Dragon when he destroys a monster. If only he had Piercing.

3x Dragon Spirit of White

A Level 8 target, who is also counted as a Normal Monster for the purposes of Dragon Shrine. It banishes a Spell or Trap on your opponent's field on summon, which is nice to combo off of via Dragon Shrine by sending it and Arkbrave. Ran at 3 rather than 2 because I like having it and when I ran it at 2 they tended to disappear.

2x Saffira, Queen of Dragons

This is where the fun begins. From discarding cards from your opponent, to drawing more resources, and even recovering Arkbraves to discard for Dragon Ravine, Saffira does it all, and is a healthy 2500 beater to boot. If it was Level 7 this would be lol's worthy, but she isnt. Also triggers off of Dragon Shrine, Ravine, and other discard outlets.

3x Paladin of Felgrand

Use this guy with Brilliant Fusion, use this guy with himself. Use this guy for anything, he's a great card and an unaffected 1700 attack Normal Summonable monster that pulls things from the deck and Special Summons more dragons is great.

2x Gem-Knight Garnet

Brilliant Fusion fodder. Having 2 isn't so bad with all the discard outlets.

Spells (23)

3x Return of the Dragon Lords

Protection, Special Summons, and Play extensions all in one card.

1x Ruins of the Divine Dragon Lord

Semi-one sided Lose 1 Turn. It's a decent card, and acts as a way to discard dragons from hand if you have Brilliant Fusion up, or as reusable Ultimate Providence material.

3x Pre-Preparation of Rites

Search out your ritual components. I'd rather see Pre-Prep than a Ritual Component since P.Prep means both, not just one.

2x Hymn of Light

Protects your Saffira, and dumps Arkbrave for more re-use.

3x Brilliant Fusion

Everyone's favorite LIGHT dumping engine is back for more utility. Dump an Arkbrave, dump a Dragon Spirit, dump a Felgrand, who cares? You're going to use it for sure either way.

3x Terraforming

Dragon Ravine #3, 4, and 5.

2x Dragon Ravine

This card is everything to you. It dumps dragons from your deck. It discards cards from your hand. It's a Field Spell. It's searchable. You love this card, and it loves you. Too bad it's Semi-Limited, however.

3x Dragon Shrine

Your favorite 1-card play. Dump Dragon Spirit and Arkbrave, and you have a free 2500 beater and Cosmic Cyclone. It makes your plays, extends your plays, everything. Plus, it just got reprinted, which is a plus.

2x Twin Twister

I pulled these. Thank god, because each one is the price of a Structure Deck, which horrifies me. This deck HATES backrow, so it's very worth it to have TT handy.

1x Reinforcement of the Army

Paladin #4.

Traps (6)

3x Call of the Haunted

Yes I summon a 2800 ATK beater that summons more beaters during my battle phase and removes threats via Banishing.

1x Solemn Warning

Thank god for common reprints.

2x Ultimate Providence

This card is 25 cents. It negates whatever kind of cards you have handy in your hand. Have an Arkbrave? Get ready to plus off their negation. Also puts dead Brilliant Fusions, Garnets, etc to good use.

Extra Deck

1x Galaxy Eyes Cipher Dragon

I pulled this when trying to pull for Gadgets and Cyber Angels. It's a neat card, that gives you more beaters for the turn after. Plus, it's got that sexy Galaxy-Eyes brand name that consumers love.

1x Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Dragon

Either a 4000 Beater or a Dark Matter fodder. Take your pick.

1x Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon

VELOCIRAPTOR SCREECH This card is so good. It attacks twice and clears boards! It dumps dragons from grave! It banishes cards from your opponent's deck! It's got 4000 ATK! Wao! That's amazing!

1x Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy

No Spells. No Attacks. No. I love this card, and I picked one up before it was 10 dollars. Now that BEWD has made it spike so hard I'm really glad I got one.

1x Aegaion, the Sea Castrum

A cheap common. It's not bad! I actually like using it, and you often hit a really big boss monster like Ultimate Falcon or Twin-Burst, and you just smirk the whole duel through. You can also sometimes hit something like Lightning, which is their only out to Dark Matter or something. Plus, 3000 DEF is nothing to laugh about.

1x Number 11: Big Eye

2x Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon

Thank god for Premium Gold.

1x Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger

Use your Beatrice to push for game with that award-winning Piercing Damage.

1x Beatrice, the Eternal Lady

1x Dante, Pilgrim of the Burning Abyss

I make this with two Saffiras when I have them. Being able to dump Arkbraves whenever is a great time, and honestly it's got pretty good stats. Also, Dante the Pilgrim acting as a backup REALLY helps.

1x Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer

1x Queen Dragun Djinn

1x Daigusto Emeral

Thank god for Premium Gold. Dragun Djinn was a pull from a while ago, which I shelved as trade fodder since I never thought I'd build BEWD or Red-Eyes.

1x Gem-Knight Seraphinite

Acts as a material for Paladin's effect, and a method to dump LIGHT monsters via Brilliant Fusion. Honestly almost never use the double normal summons.

Any help with making the deck more consistent or powerful would be appreciated. No I cannot afford Strikes. Thanks for reading, and to my fellow Felgrand players, I hope you too find a quirky fun way of building these guys.
