If you have any doubt, just check out their boss monster Amorphactor Pain, the Imagination Dracoverlord. Each Amorphage has a powerful disruption effect but they come at a heavy cost, requiring you to tribute a monster or destroying itself during your next standby phase. Concentrating more on disruption and shutting down your opponent’s strategies, rather than working on their own. Amorphages are the rebellious Dragons of the bunch, preferring to let their effects talk more than their ATK/DEF stats. Most Dragons focus their energy and strategy into brute force, to over-power their opponents and summon huge boss monsters. You could argue they’re fairly lackluster in terms of appearance, they don’t have that intimidating presence that other Dragons have. You can tech other cards into Hieratics too, such as Galaxy Serpent for even more combos. Such low stats are completely fine, they’re just fodder to XYZ summon stronger monsters. Hieratics have a unique strategy, swarming the field with high level normal monsters, albeit with 0 ATK/DEF. Perhaps only known for the XYZ boss monster (shown above) which is a mighty monster itself, every player should own it. A lack of speed affects them quite a lot which is why no one plays them but if you play casually and like the look of the Horus cards, you should definitely have a look into building a deck around them! Released quite a while ago now in the Soul of the Duelist set, 14 years ago to be exact, the Horus series is still a formidable set of Dragons.
While not particularly competetive, these Dragons look incredible and the Crystal Beast strategy behind them is tremendously fun to both play with and against! Technically a member of the Crystal Beast archetype, the Rainbow Dragon series isn’t a full Dragon archetype but it’s well worth some recognition.
One of the major reasons people play Dragons is for their epic aesthetics and I want to embrace that! I will be taking appearance into account for rankings on this list, albeit slightly. You’re likely reading this because you’re looking into obtaining some Dragons yourself, it’s important to know which archetypes are the best! One thing all Yugioh players can agree on is the Dragon type being completely awesome, I’ve never met a player without some kind of Dragon deck and I doubt you have either. Such variety is great for the game, new players have so many archetypes available to them and you’ll rarely find two duelists with the exact same decks. You’ll often see players you’ve never met before and when you go to face them, you’ll find they have decks based around archetypes you’re not familiar with. With many hundreds of archetypes in Yugioh, every player can have multiple decks, unique to others at their locals.
