Wrath of the MetaDragons

Monsters: 26
Titanium Dragon x2
Brass Lindworm x3
Steel Lung x3
Mercury Dragon x3
Tin Wyrm x2
Cobalt Wyvern x2
Gold Basilisk x2
Silver Hydra x2
Bronze Amphithere x2
Bounteous Dragon x2
Cloudrunner x1
Living Lunch x2

Spells: 18
Alchemy Seal x3
Buster Ore x3
Buster Mining x2
Replenish x1
Map of Shmod x1
Re-Forge x1
Shrodinger's Blood
Buster Alchemy x2
Dragon's Spire x2
Buster Alloy x1
Whirlwind x1

Traps: 5
Monster Bash x1
Cancel Trap x2
Cancel Attack x1
Cancel Spell x1
Buster Wrath x1

Now, as a Standard for these decks, explanationa are a must. Two Titanium Dragons is all it needs, since they can be returned to the hand by Seal in time to play again. Brass is at 4 because it's easily the best, and Steel second-best so 3. Mercury, with new lore, is this deck's answer to Noble Dragon; but the others are only at 2 because that's all I should need. Bounteous and Ruby are only here because they fulfill both Mercury's and Bronze's effects.

Now, notice the Spells have a lot of [Send cards to the graveyard] effects. Shrodinger's Blood is the most costly, but overall provides the most advantage. No Cave Nests because I have Buster Ore; why pay 2 extra Mana to draw a Dragon and play it normally, when Ore plays it direct from the deck?

Traps are nothing special. Basically standards.

Please R&R!

NOTE: The deck has been changed to use the new support spells for the theme. Soon, it will include [Buster Wrath].

It looks like a fairly standard MetaDragon deck. However, it suffers from the fatal flaw of all MetaDragon decks of being really slow. I'm not sure what to suggest, considering the testing I've done of MetaDragons (i.e, none), but having a few Gunner Droids would keep you up to speed with other decks.

Also, I might be changing either Alchemy Seal or Titanium Dragon. I didn't notice that the combination of the two basically made Titanium Dragon immortal until your Apocalypse chapter.

Well, I didn't add Gunners because I didn't know what to remove. Instead, I added the new Buster Spells and removed Spire and Pendant. You think that's a good call?

Yeah. Dragon Fury would be next on the block, in my opinion, if you want to add Gunner Droid or more Buster spells. Your MetaDragons already have the highest average ATK in a theme.

I'm removing them when Buster Wrath is completed.

I'm currently attempting to add that patch, (Can't figure it out) and I intend to eventually play. However the reason I posted was to say I like the way that deck looks, and... WHAT IS UP WITH YOU AND "<insert name>'O'Greg"!?

Hm... honestly, that patch isn't even close to current. I doubt it even has most of Heir to the Throne. Give me a couple minutes to update it.

Sorry for my n00bism, but how exactly do you install this patch? I can't seem to figure it out...

Should be automatic once you have it, right Eric? That's what happen for me I think.

Well, you stick it in the LackeyCCG/plugins folder. Then, you unzip it and hopefully, it will end up as a shmod folder.

No, just kidding. I copied and pasted the contents. Very simple.

Yeah, I figured that. I mean how do you do that and not figure out that might be responsible?

All I did was put it in the wrong folder. No big deal.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that's no big deal.

On another note, I'ma update this deck sometime in the next couple days. Now that some cards are changed/added, I can make it more.
