Red-Eyes: deck recipe [May 14]

With so many Red-Eyes supports available, it can be quite the consistent deck. They can reliably search for the fusion, revival, or even the option to take control of your opponent's monster. Gearfried also plays an important role to help deal with opponent's spell/trap or monster, as well as being usable with Fang with Chain.

Easily special summonable in this deck since there are LIGHT (Wightprincess) and DARK (Red-Eyes monsters) . Its effect is pretty decent for either monster removal or as an OTK option.

This is searchable with Insight. If you have Black Metal Dragon in hand, you can normal summon Gearfried and equip the Black Metal Dragon on it. This will let you destroy an enemy's spell/trap or revive a Red-Eyes monster, as well as letting you search for RE Fusion or Fang with Chain when Black Metal Dragon goes to the grave.

A safe turn is if you can have a Gearfried on the field with either a set Fang with Chain or Blast with Chain. This will let you reactively destroy or take control of your opponent's monster during their turn.

Fang with Chain can be used during the damage step to take control of your opponent's monster, but you might need to equip it first outside of the damage step. Activating it this way is the best use since it limits the cards that your opponent can use to respond.

Since it's the only Warrior monster in the deck, you'll need at least 1 Gearfried to Red-Eyes Fusion to bring out Slash Dragon.

When it gets destroyed by battle, you can special summon Gearfried from the deck. This will let you equip it to the newly summoned Gearfried which will then let you use Gearfried's effect to destroy a spell/trap plus a recovery effect when Baby Dragon goes to the grave.

Since it needs to be destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, it makes it a little slow and unreliable in certain matchups, but the synergy with Gearfried is a good enough of a reason to run it.

Having this lets you give an equip to RE Slash Dragon if you want to make Slash Dragon on turn 1.

Black Metal Dragon's search effect is usually triggered when you use it as cost for Gearfried or Red-Eyes Slash Dragon's effect. If you do not want to commit to the board right away, you can just set your Black Metal Dragon and wait for your opponent to destroy it.

Due to the fact that Black Metal Dragon’s effect cannot miss timing, you can use cards like Enemy Controller or Share the Pain to tribute it, which will then let you search for Red-Eyes Fusion to make Slash Dragon.

To help make a rank 4 XYZ since it can be special summoned with Gearfried or Spirit, but also situationally helpful to bring back any Red-Eyes.

As long as you have a set Fang with Chain, being summoned during your end phase won't be that big of an issue.

Often the card that's sent to the grave when using Insight so you can revive it with the other cards, but it's mainly good if you don't need the revive cards to bring back your boss monsters since you need to use a normal summon to enable its effect.

Its effect lets you destroy multiple monsters if they happen to have less than 2500 DEF. Equipping it with Black Metal Dragon will let you destroy monsters with less than 3200 ATK, which will most likely be usable on most monsters.

This is needed in the deck if you want to make Meteor Black Comet Dragon with RE Fusion.

Additionally, since the deck has several traps, you can use this as a way to help protect them. If your opponent uses a backrow remover like Mystical Space Typhoon or Cosmic Cyclone, you can chain your RE Spirit to revive a RE monster and Zirnitron will still be summonable (from hand or grave) and re-set the RE Spirit back to the field, allowing you to use it again next turn.

Red-Eyes Insight is a good consistency booster in any Red-Eyes deck, letting you search Red-Eyes Fusion.

Keep in mind that you are going to need at least 1 Red-Eyes B. Dragon and 1 Gearfried in your hand, Deck or field to make Red-Eyes Slash Dragon, so mill other Red-Eyes monster when you're running low on these two.

Fusion summonable with RE Fusion by using a vanilla level 7 Red-Eyes / Slash Dragon + Mana Dragon Zirnitron. You can also use the skill (Red-Eyes Roulette) to put a Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact or Meteor Dragon to get a level 6 Dragon monster.

It's a decent monster to bring out since this high ATK, can thin out your deck, deal some effect damage, and also a reliable way to put Zirnitron to the grave, which will help protect a set card that you have.

Use Red-Eyes Roulette skill to add a Summoned Skull to your deck. You can then fusion summon Archfiend Black Skull Dragon by using Red-Eyes Fusion.

It has high ATK and its effect pretty much ensures that your opponent can't use spell/trap/handtrap when it attacks or gets attacked, which still works if your opponent attacks into it when it's facedown if it gets hit with something like Floodgate Trap Hole or Book of Moon.

Keep in mind that Red-Eyes Fang with Chain lets an equipped monster attack 2 times, so you can equip this to Archfiend Black Skull Dragon to have 2 safe attacks, and also prepares Fang with Chain to be ready to equip an opponent's monster.

The last effect is a pretty nice added bonus since it can deal 1200 damage. This only works only if you have a Red-Eyes normal monster, which also includes Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning if you happen to use it, and it will send them back to your deck. This can be good for card recovery, but just make sure that you still have any Red-Eyes in the grave to use Red-Eyes Spirit with.

It's also an OTK boss monster if you manage to attack directly since the effect damage will add an additional 1200 damage if you return a level 7 vanilla RE.

Red-Eyes Slash Dragon already has a decent ATK stat which can be further boosted with his equipping effect.

The equip cards serve a second purpose, being the fuel to Red-Eyes Slash Dragon's protection effect. This lets you negate an effect that targets any of your cards, useful for stopping Fiendish Chain, Paleozoic Canadia, and other targeting disruption.

If Red-Eyes Slash Dragon is destroyed by a card or effect, you can Special Summon as many monsters as possible from your Graveyard that were equipped to it. This applies even if the monster was equipped to Red-Eyes Slash Dragon by another effect, like Black Metal Dragon.

Red-Eyes Fusion functions similarly to Neos Fusion, but one key difference is it completely prevents you from Normal or Special Summoning other monsters the turn you activate it. You can't even summon monsters before using Red-Eye Fusion, or else you won't be allowed to activate it.

• Level 7 RE + Gearfried = RE Slash Dragon.
• Level 7 RE + Zirnitron = Meteor Black Comet Dragon
• Level 7 RE + Summoned Skull = Archfiend Black Skull Dragon

Keep in mind that you can use the skill to add a level 6 monster or Summoned Skull if you want to make the fusions without having to bring them to the deck to avoid bricking, but the skill can only be used once per duel.

Able to revive Red-Eyes Black Dragon or Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning when you have a "Red-Eyes" monster. This card's second effect can allows you special summon 1 "Red-Eyes" monster not limited to Normal Monster while this card is destroyed by your opponent's card effect and sent to your Graveyard.

A simple revive card that's searchable with Insight and can bring back any RE monster, including the fusion monsters. Together with Zirnitron, you can even chain it if your opponent uses a spell/trap destruction to revive an RE monster and re-set Spirit back to the field for an additional use.

Being able to take control of your opponent's monster is a very powerful effect. It's essentially a quick effect monster removal, which can also be used to stop your opponents from making further plays like synchro or XYZ.

Keep in mind that you can't activate the card and immediately activate its second effect on the same chain. This matters if you think your opponent might be playing cards like Mystical Space Typhoon that can destroy your back row.

Taking control of your opponent's monster also changes your equipped monster's ATK to the one you equipped it with. Good when you take control of a strong monster, but having to use it to stop a low attack monster to stop a play like Shiranui Spectralsword can be dangerous.

Rank 7 Xyz can only be made with multiple vanilla level 7 RE or with Slash Dragon. These are pretty situational, but there will be times where you can bring out multiple of them through its many revival cards like Return of the Red-Eyes, Spirit, RE Flare Metal Dragon, etc.

Rank 6 can be made by using RE Archfiend, Zirnitron, or any of the level 6 that you can add through the skill.

Using Insight and RE Fusion, you can send both RE Archfiend and Zirnitron from deck to grave. You can then revive RE Archfiend with Spirit and Zirnitron through its own effect to then Xyz into M7.

It's a decent monster removal effect, but can also help you recover a monster or remove annoying monsters in your opponent's grave.

This monster has less attack than a Slash Dragon with a single equip, but the main effect of effect damage is not once per turn, and it can activate frequently depending on your opponent's deck/playstyle, making it quite powerful. The effect damage is halved due to Duel Links' rules, but it adds up and can act as a good finisher card to bring out when your opponent's LP is low.

Its last effect to special summon a Red-Eyes can't be used to special summon Slash Dragon since it's not a normal monster, but with 2 XYZ materials, you can essentially summon 2 other normal Red-Eyes to go into another Flare Metal Dragon.

Just keep in mind that its effect to deal effect damage only works when it has Xyz materials. Using its revive effect twice to make another rank 7 means losing out on the first one.

Has a card removal effect that you can use multiple times in a turn, up to however many materials you use to make it. Needing to banish a card in your grave won't be a big issue since you can use it on the used spells/traps like Insight/Spirit.

You can potentially special summon this with a single high-level RE monster since most of the monsters in the deck are DARK attributes and multiple ways to discard/send to grave, but doing this means that it will only have 1 material for 1 card removal effect.

Face-Up Card Destruction including backrow is pretty decent effect but sadly it cannot activated during Damage Step. When you destroyed a monster, it will allows you boost up ATK of 1 monster you control until the end of the next turn.

This is summoned by ranking up from Exa-Beetle, which will only give it 1 material for 1 use.

Rhinosebus has a quick-effect and it's a non-targeting monster removal. Either use it early to stop potential combos, or do it once they summon their boss monster.

Exa-Stag's effect is very useful against those monsters that cannot be destroyed by battle or card effect. This effect not only can target monsters on the field but Graveyard which can disrupt your opponent's combo sometimes that requires graveyard activation effect.

Since non-effect monsters are rarely used anymore, Breakthrough Skill's effect is very relevant and can help stop your opponent's plays. While it may have a more limited use compared to something like Ultimate Providence, not having a discard cost and being able to use it a second time can be beneficial in a lot of situations.

The fact that it can be used again in the graveyard is an added bonus. This makes it still useful even if your opponent destroys your back row before you get to use it. However, the second effect only works during your turn, and only the turn after it's sent to the grave.

Generally useful as an interruption tool to stop your opponent, but also necessary in case you go against monsters that can't be destroyed by battle or card effects like Bloom Diva the Melodious Choir.
