Dragunity Synchro: deck recipe [Jul 2021]

“Dragunity” is an archetype of Dragon and Winged Beast monsters whose effects mainly revolve around equipping the Level 3 or lower Tuner monsters to the higher Level non-Tuner ones. Once the Level 3 or lower monsters are equipped, there are multiple ways to Special Summon them from the Spell & Trap Zone, giving you access to various Synchros.
It has definitely been a while since the last time Dragunity Synchro has seen competitive play in Duel Links, but the new Structure Deck EX Dragunity Overdrive might be what the archetype needs to return to relevance.

By discarding 1 “Dragunity” card, Dragunity Senatus allows you to equip to it 1 “Dragunity” Tuner directly from your Deck.

• Normal Summon Senatus, discard 1 “Dragunity” card and equip Dragunity Couse. While it’s equipped to a monster, Course can be Special Summoned from the Spell & Trap Zone.

• Special Summon Couse and make Barcha or, if you want to end the synchro climb, make Gae Bulg.
• Equip Couse to Barcha and then Special Summon Couse again to make Ascalon.

If you activate Dragunity Senatus’s effect, you cannot Special Summon any non-Dragon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of the turn. Additionally using Couse locks you to only making Dragunity Synchros. Sadly, preventing you from using generic synchro toolboxes like Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier.

If Couse is in your graveyard, the combo above can also be performed by Normal Summoning Dux and then equipping Couse to it. This variation of the combo costs less resources to perform. The downside is you cannot do this on your first turn.

You can Normal Summon Couse as cost to Special Summon Mystletainn, then Special Summon Couse with its own effect and make Ascalon. This combo can also be done if Couse is already in your graveyard, just send any other Dragunity you control to the graveyard. Overall Mystletainn is just another way to quickly get to Ascalon. There isn't really much reason to keep Mystletainn on the field as a beater when you can use it to make Ascalon for a much stronger monster.

Phalanx is simply a downgraded Couse. It has the same ability of being Special Summoned while treated as an Equip card, but lacks the level modulation effect of Couse. The reason we run Phalanx is to have more targets for Cards of Consonance.

Equip Dragunity Divine Lance to Ascalon to protect it from Trap effects and make it an even bigger beater. Since Ascalon can't remove your opponent's backrow, the protection from Traps can protect Ascalon from battle traps such as Wall of Disruption. It also protects againsts disruption like Raigeki Break, Fiendish Chain, and Paleozoic Canadia.

Divine Lance can also be used in a combo to make Ascalon, if you only open with Dux or Mystletainn without Couse. Summon Dux or Mystletainn then equip the monster with Divine Lance and equip Couse directly from your deck.

Gae Bulg's effect turns him into a powerful beater by banishing a Winged-Beast in your graveyard. You will usually summon Gae Bulg by Ascalon's floating effect to push damage.

His ability to suddenly boost his own ATK can prevent your opponent from attacking into him and letting you stall until your opponent has some way to out Gae Bulg. This will be quick though, since he does not have any protection and simply changing his battle position leaves him vulnerable.

You will usually make Barcha on your synchro climb with Senatus/Dux and Couse. Barcha equips Couse which Special Summons itself to make Ascalon. You can also go into Barcha instead of Gae Bulg when Ascalon is destroyed. Gae Bulg has higher damage potential than Barcha but Barcha has a better permanent ATK.

Ascalon is the end goal of all your combos. It single-handedly gives this deck powerful monster clearing and high damage potential.

By banishing 1 “Dragunity” monster from your Graveyard, Dragunity Knight - Ascalon allows you to target 1 monster your opponent controls and banish it. This would be a pretty underwhelming effect for a Level 10 Synchro that even requires a specific Tuner if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s not limited to a “once per turn” use. As long as you have “Dragunity” monsters in your Graveyard to banish, you can keep on activating this effect to clear your opponent's field. This banishing effect does not destroy, allowing it to bypass the protection of Shiranui Sunsaga and Neos Fusion.

When Ascalon is destroyed, he floats into any other Dragunity Synchro in your Extra Deck. Since this is treated as a Synchro Summon, if you use Ascalon’s effect to Summon Dragunity Knight - Barcha or Dragunity Knight - Vajrayana, you will be able to equip them with Dragunity monsters.

• Artifact Lancea can prevent Ascalon from activating its removal effect.
  
  
• Being a Synchro deck means that Treacherous Trap Hole, Floodgate Trap Hole, and Paleozoic Canadia can give you a hard time.

Use Forbidden Lance on Ascalon to make him immune to enemy backrow. Even after losing 800 ATK, Ascalon is still strong enough to deal significant damage. Also, Ascalon won't be clashing with any boss monsters; since you'll be using his removal effect to get rid of enemy monsters.

Simple yet effective deck cycling. Discarding Couse or Phalanx as Cards of Consonance's cost will load them into your graveyard where they can be equipped by Dux or any of your Dragunity Synchros.

Discard Couse or Phalanx as cost then Normal Summon Dux to start your Synchro climb.

Note by IIINC:

Players are currently favoring heavy backrows. Trunade becomes the card of choice to counter this preference. Tech in Kiteroid if the meta slows and favors drawing more cards before making your move. Hold onto backrow removal for a 3-for-3 wipe. If you are sparse on backrow removal but have extra two-card combo’s or ignitions, use one of them this turn to get your opponents to play their first few lines of defense. If they can’t replenish their board with the same set-up or more, you win.
