Chaos Dragon A Chaos Dragon deck utilizes the Graveyard with a combination of Chaos monsters for their powerful effects with Effect Monsters with Send 1 Card to Graveyard or Milling effects to fuel them . The earliest builds focused on getting out " Chaos Sorcerer " , and " Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning " : much later the " Red - Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon " , " Lightpulsar Dragon " Monsters that give this Deck its name . You can use " Lightsworn " monsters " Raiden " and " Lyla " with " Solar Recharge " , " Charge of the Light Brigade " and " Reasoning " as a mill engine . " Card Trooper " was originally used to mill 1 to 3 , but has lost favor to the utility of " Kuribandit " and " Mathematician " , which offer better control on what to send to the Graveyard . " Lightpulsar Dragon " is the main beater being able to revive itself easily , while " Darkflare Dragon " speeds up " Lightpulsar " and setups summoning both " Dark Armed Dragon " and " Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning " . Once a reasonable amount of cards have been milled it is recommended to stop focusing on milling or risk running out of cards to draw too fast and lose automatically . " Galaxy Cyclone " , " Breakthrough Skill " , and " Skill Prisoner " are some of the few Spell / Trap cards that can be played from the hand , or milled , and then used next turn again by banishing them . This Deck relies heavily on Special Summoning powerful monsters with devastating effects in order to overpower and OTK the opponent . It can also create Level 8 Synchro Monsters consistently due to the synergy of " White Dragon Wyverburster " , " Black Dragon Collapserpent " ( which replace themselves with the other when sent from the field to the Graveyard , but not when detached as Xyz Materials ) , and " Raiden , Hand of the Lightsworn " . " Lightpulsar Dragon " , " Caius the Shadow Monarch " , and " Chaos Sorcerer " also open up Rank 6 plays after their effects are used . With " Constellar Ptolemy M7 " being able to return monsters from the Graveyard to the hand , milling " Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning " , or other powerful monsters is no longer at risk of being milled and unusable . Milling the Deck early to mid game sets up the Graveyard in order to banish LIGHT and DARK monsters to Special Summon the Chaos monsters . " Darkflare Dragon " , " Card Trooper " , " Raiden , Hand of the Lightsworn " , " Charge of the Light Brigade " , and " Solar Recharge " are used for this strategy . Using " Tour Guide From the Underworld " to Summon " Dante , Traveler of the Burning Abyss " was also used , but the limiting of " Tour Guide " in April 2015 has made this option unreliable . Dragons Collide Structure Deck contains many of the cards used in this Deck , thus making it easier to build . Many of the cards required that are not found in Dragons Collide have been reprinted , thus making this deck an affordable but formidable option for duelists . History . This archetype ' s origins go all the way back to 2004 ’ s Invasion of Chaos and the introduction of the original three Chaos Monsters . Immediately , it was clear that these were some of the most powerful monsters . " Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End " , " Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning " , and " Chaos Sorcerer " brought forth powerful effects and attack power all for the simple Summoning condition of banishing 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from the Graveyard . The idea and theme of Chaos and the battle of LIGHT vs . DARK was introduced , which led to one of the most consistent card themes in the history of Yu - Gi - Oh ! that still shapes the game today . February and May 2008 saw the release of " Phantom Darkness " and " Light of Destruction " respectively . These two sets would further the theme of the struggle between light and darkness , reinforce the notion of Chaos in DARK and LIGHT summoning conditions , and introduce some of the most powerful monsters to date in " Dark Armed Dragon " and " Judgment Dragon " . Both cards would shape the meta drastically as Tele - DAD would wreck havoc and " Dark Armed Dragon " would reach a staggering $ 250 price point . Lightsworns had several cards appear on the Limited list as well as both Dark Armed and Judgment Dragon . The end of 2008 saw the release of one of the most powerful Dragon specific cards in " Red - Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon " . The " Lightsworn " archetype in Light of Destruction revolved around milling , which sends cards from the Deck to the Graveyard . This random milling allowed the player to fill the Graveyard with monsters rather quickly to fulfill the summoning condition of " Judgment Dragon " while triggering monster effects along the way . " Card Trooper " was already a great part of this strategy and " Lightsworns " reinforced it tremendously . This mechanic would become important to the future of Chaos and its new incarnation . In March 2009 , " Chaos Sorcerer " became Limited to 1 after 2 ½ years on the Forbidden list . Chaos Sorcerer would flip flop from Limited , Semi - Limited , and Unlimited for the next few years . In September 2011 , " Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning " became limited to 1 after 6 years of being Forbidden . After spending some time in Forbidden , " Chaos Sorcerer " is now Limited to 1 . The " Dragons Collide Structure Deck " hit the scene as one of the best Structure Decks to date . This structure deck introduced two new Chaos monsters in the forms of " Darkflare Dragon " and " Lightpulsar Dragon " . Both had the original Chaos Summoning condition and their own unique effects . " Darkflare " can banish a card in either player ' s Graveyard by sending a Dragon - Type monster from the hand and another one from the Deck to the Graveyard . " Lightpulsar " can be Summoned from the Graveyard by sending a LIGHT and DARK monster from the hand to the Graveyard . It also Special Summons a Level 5 or higher DARK Dragon from the Graveyard when it is sent from the field to the Graveyard . Its synergy with " Darkflare " , and more importantly , " Red - Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon " , made these Dragons an excellent addition to the Disaster Dragon Deck . The third unique card was " Eclipse Wyvern " . It banishes a LIGHT or DARK Dragon from the Deck when it is sent to the Graveyard by any means . When " Wyvern " is banished , the banished card can be added to the hand . Its synergy with " Darkflare Dragon " and milling created a viable engine for this new deck . " Black Dragon Collapserpent " and " White Dragon Wyverburster " continued the theme of light and dark while working together . Each monster required the player to banish 1 of the opposite Attribute in order to special summon them . Each monster also searched a copy of each other when they were sent to the Graveyard , giving Chaos Dragon a bit of consistency and field presence without losing advantage . Their effects do not miss timing , so Tributing or Synchro Summoning allows the second Dragon to be searched These dragons would become essential to Chaos Dragons and the form it has taken today . They are among the last " Chaos " support the Deck has gotten to date . This would require the Deck to look elsewhere for support and strength . Deck . Weakness . Chaos Dragons relies on a high speed play style in both filling the graveyard and special summoning monsters , making them susceptible to Macro decks . Also , the deck shares a weakness with most of the meta decks : Anti - Special Summon cards such as " Archlord Kristya " , " Evilswarm Ophion " , and Vanity ' s Emptiness can easily cripple this deck . " Necrovalley " can prevent banishing or access to Graveyards , making any attempts to Summon Chaos monsters near impossible . " Imperial Iron Wall " can also prevent the effects of most Chaos monsters , including " Eclipse Wyvern " and " Darkflare Dragon " . Cards like " Shadow - Imprisoning Mirror " and " Light - Imprisoning Mirror " prevents the Trigger effects of light and dark monsters such as " Lightpulsar Dragon " , " Night Assailant " and " Ryko , Lightsworn Hunter " . Vanity ' s Emptiness and Skill Drain can heavily distrupt and stop this deck although , as of April 2015 , these two cards are now limited to 1 . Despite having originated from the same Dragon deck type origins ; the Disaster Dragon deck can , ironically , also stop this deck dead in its tracks , due to it having access to " Koa ' ki Meiru Drago " ( which can torpedo the summoning of any Chaos monsters ) . It is also able to utilize a wider array of Side Deck options such as " Electric Virus " , " Chaos Trap Hole " , " Rivalry of Warlords " ( which ensure that any non - Dragon Chaos monsters cannot interfere ) and " Light and Darkness Dragon , " making it harder for Chaos Dragons to contend . Despite this , several different side deck combinations can be used to contend with its counters .
