FIRE Dragons looking at Galactica Oblivion in Secret Order's Artwork: Bro thinks he's part of the team! (Oblivion looks draconic in design) I'd say this is one of the few Decks that benefited greatly from getting an extra card that boosts the Deck into a viable option. It's still not close to that FIRE variant of Gate Order that existed in the actual Rush Duels format, but it's close. Speaking of Gate Order, I feel like they could bring Parallel Birth Gate and it wouldn't be a big deal like it was in Rush Duels back in the day (especially since Rush's Duel Links has the feature that its Fusion Decks are functional and somewhat more oppressive). And well, the good Dragonic Pressure brings back memories when it was used with Dragias in the real Rush Duels format to win Duels easily (and it was the first glimpse of what Dark Hole would be in Rush Duels) And well, this would be the last video related to the Current Meta since it is possible that Zwijo's Mini-Box will be released in the next few days.
You can run the Sportsdragons if you want, since they play well with Draconic pressure, but you have to have a 2-Tribute in hand to maximize their effectiveness, and with only 4 and Secret Order wanting them discarded off Draconic pressure it's not actually that likely to come up. Sylphidra as another 1500 beater for the list, or even Beta Burn Dragon also work. Essel is another option since you do actually want some pieces in Grave to bring back with Draconic Pressure/Secret Order, but it can't be discarded for Draconic Pressure and you do ideally want to max out on as many dragons as possible. The thing about Fortitude Dragon in this deck is: The attack drop effect from Fortitude Dragon is honestly pretty situational. You won't have to beat over threats if you can use Draconic Pressure to just destroy them instead, and since Fortitude Dragon can only target monsters with 2000 or more attack, you're never using it to put a monster in range of a 1500 beater of yours to clear, meaning it's only for situations where A) You don't have Draconic Pressure online, B) You (probably) don't have Secret Order online either, and C) Your opponent has a monster you just barely can't clear with a skill-boosted Volcano Attack Dragon (3000+), or Red-Eyes (2500+) if that's all you have at the moment. While it will have uses, Fortitude Dragon is far from a necessary include in the list.
Originally it was a JP player who used it Nanao's pb, then I stole his exact list and took it to Grand's as the first westerner to pilot it in a tournament! That list was very unrefined though and this is a much stronger build imo.
@Tomatosaurs I see. I also ran a very similar build (no slime, and 1500 vanilla over fortitude) and it did well for me. Idk how good/bad his list was, but fire dragons are genuinely a decent pick, could even say middle of tier 2
Honestly I never thought that Treasure Dragon would ever see play, looks like a real fun deck

What's a good replacement for Fortitude Dragon? I don't have that card, but I have the rest of them 😊

@@reinierlara5421 the other 1500 dragon vanilla is fine. Running essel is also fine
@@DracoSenpai420 Thanks! 😊
I wonder who gave you the idea for this 😊
