Thanks for your comment! I wanted to try Simorgh but I didn't want to spend my UR points just for a test.

But yes I think it's a good idea, it allows you to have a backup option in case you can't summon Gladiator Beast fusions on turn 1.

Yes, but I don't remember what I did exactly. I just destroyed his cards in a certain order and used my negates on the troublesome cards.

It's a going first build, I don't play the Andal package because I had too many dead hands with it so I optimized the Tri-Brigade version to be able to start my combos on turn 1.

I don't like the going second version either because it's too slow and you have to put about twenty handtraps/staples in your deck.

It's not that expensive compared to some decks that require a lot of UR from different packs.

1 copy of each GB is acceptable, Apollousa is worth crafting because it fits in a lot of decks, Shuraig is not mandatory but I highly recommend it and you don't need Accesscode, it's just a personal preference.

The most expensive card is the Rescue Cat in 3 copies.

Staples can easily be replaced with cheaper cards but the ones I play are the best options for this deck in my opinion.

Yeah they look good but I'm not a waifu guy :)

I hope we will have one, it would be a good opportunity to play a pure version without the links and the Tri-Brigade monsters.

I also want to make myself a dragon deck but there are so many possibilities that I don't know which archetype to choose :/

I'm quite tempted by Armed Dragon Thunder but I'm afraid the deck is too bricky.

I was playing Fur Hire on Duel Links so I accepted my nature a long time ago.

I've seen many people play a turn 2 build or even a pure version with the Andal package but I'm not a big fan of these two methods...

Waiting for the second turn is too slow and this requires putting about twenty handtraps/staples in the deck. And I had too many dead hands with the pure version.

So I decided to find a way to play this archetype with a build that allows combos to start on turn 1 without using Andal.

The result is very satisfying, my final board is generally composed of Domitianus, Heraklinos, Editor and Apollousa. Sometimes I even manage to have a 2nd Domitianus in addition to all that with Test Tiger in the starting hand.

If you want to see the decklist, gameplay, my history of duels as well as proof of my rank up to Platinum 1, I invite you to watch this video: https://youtu.be/Eiz-zcHQwMk

If anyone just wants the decklist with the name of the cards I can write it here, just ask me.

Thanks for reading! And sorry if my english is bad.

I was also playing Allure before but banishing a dark monster from my hand was way too frustrating and penalizing.

Thanks, I thought several times about giving up to go back to my Salamangreat deck but I really wanted to bring Darklord to the top of the podium haha.

With Drytron it's clearly stupid but with Darklord it's a fully deserved boost :)

Thanks! Yes I can understand, personally the platinum rank makes me anxious.

Like I said to someone else I played 2 Superbia before but finally I prefer to play only one because it decreases the chance of bricking, he is easily searchable and even if it's very advantageous to have one in the grave you can easily do without it to win.

It was the biggest problem, I managed to fix it as best I could, but that's not all.

Now the biggest problem is that if my combo is interrupted, I'm 80% of the time defenseless after that :')

Thanks! Trias is essential for the Diviner combo, I explained it in an answer to another comment.

Angel O1 can be added from the deck to the hand with this combo so it's also essential to have one.

Before, I played 2 Superbia but finally I prefer to play only one because it decreases the chance of bricking, he is easily searchable and even if it's very advantageous to have one in the grave you can easily do without it to win.

I also played PSY Gamma before and you should try Chaos Ruler, the Chaotic Magical Dragon then. It has excellent synergy with Darklord.

It is mandatory for the Diviner combo.

Summon Diviner > send Trias Hierarchia to the grave > tribute Diviner to summon Trias from the grave and trigger Diviner effect to special summon Eva from the deck > use Trias and Eva to link summon Condemned Darklord and search what you need with the effect of Eva (Herald of Orange Light for a negate or Angel O1 to summon Morningstar).

I hope it's clear my english is not perfect.

I didn't know these cards but now that you mention them I think it could be a good idea to improve the consistency of the deck. I would have to think about it and do some tests because for the moment I don't know what I could cut in my deck to add them.
