Tenpai Dragon New META Fundamentals - Deck Profile + Combo Lines Deck

[@christhao4986]

Here's what I learn playing Tenpai for a while now. If your local scene is not running 3 niburu and If you are going first and have the field spell card, you should always try to make sangenpai bident dragon first. Your first turn should be red + green or red + white tenpai dragons make bident dragon first before seals. Bident reborn a single tenpai dragon and then make seals. I usually make seals by itself without any other monsters because super poly is very popular here. With bident in grave, you have a extra layer of protection in grave to make sure you don't die because if your opponent makes 3 attack, you can revive bident dragon , bident then revives a tenpai, Ideally green because green revives another tenapi. Also as long as greens alive tenpai don't get destroy by battle and as long as white is alive you don't take battle dmg. You get insane protection. If your opponent ash your seals you can be in a lot of trouble so make sure a bident is in grave for protection.

I'm very glad I still have Trident Dragion from way back in Synchro era.

I was to broke for it while playing Dragunity. Wanted to buy them again a few years ago...sadge

i had an ulti back in the day but sold all my stuff multiple times. Luckily i made a bunch of edison decks a few years ago and i bought the secret for like $3 lol

[@latiosexing362]

I just picked up tenpai today with all the fixings except Trident. Your latest video in correlation to the new support brought me here. I will say; your content in redsrds to rulings have helped me tons especially from sharks trying to tell me certain things resolve thinking I'm wet behind the ears. Great stuff. Keep it up.

Hey Tom, you should consider running FA Dawn Dragster for going first, the lists that top in the OCG play it

[@JoaoEstanislau92]

How can you combo to finish w/ seal + dragster? because finish with 1 or another, I think seal is a better option

[@Draeguy]

The tuner is a lv 4, so fenrir isn’t used for synchro at all. It’s just a fenrir at that point, (that’s why no one plays it in the hand trap version)

[@MyShadowFarted]

You’re correct. Still going to play it at 3.

i did play this deck it was really fun to play this deck, i took this deck to local tournament, i won in 4th place. i don't have Trident Dragion in my Tenpai Dragon Deck, i played Bystial Dis Pater as a Replacement i really want to play Trident Dragion card so badly! i want to take this deck to Tournaments in the Future, So Thank You for making this deck Dude!

Can u summon other types of monsters before synchro summon the lv7 tenpai dragon before activating it's effects?

[@exalted8571]

you should add gold sarc to banish blaster, thats the main reason it should even be in the deck

Are you locked to fire monsters when synchro for Bident Dragon?

[@cbgg1585]

Brings a tear to my eye that Melodious are not only relevant but a seriously strong match up against something meta like Tenpai Dragon simply by design (Bloom Diva, Aria + Elegy lock in conjunction with newer cards like Etoile with quick effect non targeting removal and other non engine and tech that can be crammed in). 7-4 against Tenpai Dragon during playtesting and it’s so surreal that a deck showcased on this channel is vulnerable against one of my favorite decks of all time that has deemed $hit until recently. 😂💪

[@GhostofTChalla]

That’s actually dope

[@croczOTK]

Its still shit. Droll or Shifter cooks them

[@robertstrine5182]

None of the small dragon quick synchro effects are hard once per turns, so if you need to, chundra and paidra themselves can climb to a 10 if chundra has been negated, since paidra can quick sync to the 7, then get revived and quick sync to the 10.

[@firewall3677]

Quick question, when you declare an attack and you use the effect to synchro summon does the battle still happen or do you have to synchro summon immediately?

[@TraaaaaasshBooooaaaatttt]

You dont get the battle step it removes the monster before. You synchro on resolution which takes place before damage step

[@tekzypher6758]

You declaring the attack and the battle still happens, damage does not happen if you do it during the damage step

[@iamnotmandjtv]

The attacking monster left the field, so the attack stops.

[@HumanoidCableDreads]

You can activate the effect to synchro after the battle though, so attack with as many of the little dragons as possible before the synchro to maximize damage.

[@Beannie7777]

[@therobotchickenMLP]

Well the Tenpai core is extremely cheap. Even if you haven't played in a while, you can probably steal games just fine.

[@AznYunHou]

Well you only need 1, so you can sell the other two for like $200+ and get a deck for that

[@wyatt5868]

[@alexburns7235]

I gotta question. This deck searches for the other dragons so would'nt this deck die to ash blossom? Would it not be good to run 3 crossout

[@Lotusmustdie]

Most of the searching occurs during damage step which blocks you out of ashing it anyway, but crossout is good anyway because you have enough non engine space

[@Praxis-l8b]

combo 2 could also summ fadra instead of baidra off chundra for sim results no

How would you respond to your typical set up being Red and Yellow (I forget the names). Attack with red to get green, etc but you get hit with a damage step droplets hitting both? Is that enough to end your turn?

You could in theory just chain the quick synchro to dodge it and try and recoup from there

[@Shinde425]

@@Lotusmustdie the way I saw it was you could either send a monster among whatever else you need with droplet, or you could specifically wait til damage step if you don’t have a monster so that they couldn’t quick synchro anymore. That’s all 🤷‍♂️

[@Petsinwinter2]

It's absolutely worth noting that while Paidra can't be ash'd in damage step, Fadra can be *Belle'd* in damage step because Ghost Belle negates an activation

[@panagiotisk3394]

Hey i was wondering about what you said. it sounded like you meant that the card added from Paidra during the damage step cannot be ashed. But can you even activate the quickplay you add during damage step? Sorry i just wanted to clarify cause i know that there's only a few specific things you can activate during damage step. Love your content keep it up!

[@BloodsCaress]

You aren't activating it in damage step, it's being activated in the battle phase which is perfectly legal. Spell speed 2 and 3 can be activated in the battle phase. I believe it's damage calc that only the effect to increase or decrease atk/def can be activated. Hope this clarifies it. I honestly didn't quite understand the question lol

[@panagiotisk3394]

@@BloodsCaress Thanks for replying. I knew these already the reason I asked is because the wording in the video sounded like the quickplay cannot be ashed for some reason.

[@babrad]

@@BloodsCaress Chundra activates in damage step, so can't be Ashed. If the summon is Paidra, then Paidra also can't be Ashed. The quickplay since it doesn't alter stats nor negates activations (and obviously isn't a counter trap) cannot be activated in damage step, so the battled that triggered Chundra originally has to end, then during your next battle step you can activate it. ----------------------------------------------------- Technically, you can activate any card effect that directly alters stats until the "before damage calculation", such as a Droplet (but not something like Guardian of the Golden Land that isn't guaranteed it will affect stats). In addition, you can activate a card or effect that negates the "activation" (like Belle, but not Ash). Finally counter traps activate at any time. After we leave that part of the damage step (frequently called the "start of the damage step") we enter "Damage Calculation". There you can't activate cards that alter stats like Droplet and only ones specifically telling they can activate at this time like Avramax. "Activation" negations + counter traps work normally.

[@babrad]

@@panagiotisk3394 i believe Tombox meant the adding of the quickplay can't be Ashed, and a typical play can allow you to make the new synchro 10 so the opponent can't activate anything, then use the quickplay to drop Trident Dragion and safely OTK

[@panagiotisk3394]

@@babrad thank u very much, i am aware of the damage step rulings i just pointed it out due to the way it was worded in the video.

What is an activated effect?

[@ellishughes3050]

Often times, it’s usually an effect that you declare to use, like a summon effect, a negate, a handtrap, or a destruction (pop). Sangen Summoning helps to protect Fire Dragons from those, but it wouldn’t protect them from continuous effects, like Destiny HERO Plasma, Skill Drain, and Lost World.
