BEST WAY TO PLAY RED DRAGON ARCHFIEND 60-CARD DECK WITH CENTUR-ION BYSTIAL! | YUGIOH! MASTER DUEL

[@ZedLockYT]

Hope you guys enjoyed the video! I'm excited to share my thoughts on the Red Dragon Archfiend 60-Card Deck with Centur-ion Bystial! 🔥 This deck has all the resources you need to dominate rank. The Bystials are optional and can definitely be replaced by Triple Tactics Thrust and Talent. However, I find that Red Lotus does a better job of finding Red Reign, making Thrust feel a bit niche. So, if you decide not to play Red Lotus (though it's highly recommended since Lotus is very good), then go ahead and add Thrust and Tactics to search for Red Reign instead. In terms of win rate so far, I find this the best engine to play with Red Dragon Archfiend right now. Considering the combo-line and better endboard with just Soul Resonator compared to other engines and the pure build, it's impressive. Since this is a 60-card decklist, yes, we will experience bricking, especially since we run quite a few branded cards like Regained. However, no matter which version, bricking is a part of every deck (especially rogue and below) since unfortunately, this is not a top-tier deck. If you don't want to play Regained or Beast to avoid bricking, then replace Saronir with Baldrake, and add Thrust, Tactics, and HFD. If you do, then Gaia, Soul, and Sweeper are cuttable by x1. The deck can go against meta decks, including Yubel and Fire Kings (though not every time, as it really depends on our starting hand). As for the extra deck, once Kuibelt is released in Master Duel, just replace Ancient Pixie with it for even better synergy. Chaos Angel is also an alternative to Legatia Let me know your thoughts and any tweaks you might have.

I am actually climbing with centurion resonators this season and I was missing the bystials so much. I'll try adding them but might play a 50c list. Thanks for the replays, awesome as always 🎉

[@julianirwin1173]

Is it still alright to play 60-card version without centurion?

[@jasonlee1513]

That first duel agaisnt Lab was pretty intense. Glad you won that round

[@DarkWorldDragon24]

Glad to find another RDA fan. Keep up the good material! I keep trying out RDA variations myself (though more meme material). 2 of the projects I’m trying to get more steam are Earthbound RDA (since RDA have easy synchro material to make Greater Linewalker easy to summon) and Kaiju RDA (not just the Kaiju engine, but a fully dedicated Kaiju space that actually aims to summon Gameciel on our field so we have another form of negation on top of what we have). May not be the best, but I have fun with what I got XD

Indeed a blessed day for a zedlock rda vid

[@Nightmarse]

Archfriend archdemon is m'y favorite deck, thank you for your techniques 👍🏻

[@ThatGuyWhosABean]

Thanks for the content, Z! I'm always looking forward to it! Especially RDA.

[@lolhuman25]

I've been slowly building the 40 card version of Centurion RDA but this one also seems pretty cool. Which version would you say performs better?

[@ZedLockYT]

60-card version has the best performance based on my rank games, did some minor changes like adding Baldrake and removed Beast for it

[@TechNinjaSigma]

Alright! more RDA goodness!

[@jayserrano4428]

Thank you, great video. Can you help on the below??? Hey, if you were playing on the TCG where the bystials are unlimited, what are the ratio of bystial monsters? Would you also recommend etude of the branded? How do you also stop alba lenatus the fusion summon to take all your dragons?

[@tutoicaolanh4033]

you can play malefic and centurion, since malefic requires field spell, and centurion can easily search their field spell

[@Olaxdron]

Blessed with another RDA video, I personally still am using the pure version as it feels more consistent for tcg practice although I want to see how Red Lotus works with it (love the Carly cut in you added for Vision Resonator stuff like that makes me more happy about playing my childhood archetype keep up the great work)

[@ZedLockYT]

Pure is definitely the most consistent, you can replace Wildwind (or Moonstar) for Lotus, it's searchable with Soul. Some people play Lotus on x3 on pure, but I playtested it and prefer it more on x1

[@Olaxdron]

​@@ZedLockYTYeah will be running 1 or 2 as extenders when going Crimson + Bone Archfiend or Bone is in hand

[@saadghafoor2026]

What is the pure version decklist you run ?

[@Archimo]

Cutting RDA bane or Legatia for chaos angel can go rly hard with bystials in the deck, also I personally am in pain if I played this with branded beast and red reign(+Flamecrime) cause of how much backrow centurion adds baseline with 2 monsters and chance for phalanx, tho advanced plays makes you able to send trudea to GY for bone cost if you can ensure a scarred/lv 8 on field to synchro into crimson dragon. I generally feel like Flame Crime fits better in with the Thrust and Tactics package in centurion because you'll run red reign anyways. Also best way generally to combat bricking imo is just running 60 so 100% agree with that, yet I seem to draw Trudea every other game I play 🤣

[@ZedLockYT]

Regained and Beast sometimes can be a brick, especially if you open it or on your 2nd turn, we could switch Saronir with Baldrake so we could also remove Regained and Beast and add Thrust

[@Archimo]

@@ZedLockYT I personally like the bystial package a lot but cut beast and flame crime + red reign for it, then again I love playing it with chain resonator which is also a brick. Main issue is just the backrow space when dealing with the centurion engine and plays and it feels really bad to have acess to all the backrow and such. What I do with my lubellion search is usually search satonir which can use lubellion as a banish target then when saronir leaves the field I send another lubellion to the gy which then allows me to get regained online on the field, if this is no concern I like searching magnamhut for the extra bystial so I never even see a reason for running both regained and beast personally.

[@hindae085]

RDA is so damn good to play. And they hard counter Tenpai with Red Screen too.

[@dossantosenzo5082]

Heya zed, nice vid as always also i wanted to know where some of these animations came from (the abyss one for example)? Are you using a mod or is it something you're adding during the editing of the video ?

[@ZedLockYT]

the animations are what I just added when editing the videi🔥

[@bits3840]

Question do you think you can make a budget version of this deck?

[@relaxtitan]

Played 4 matches, got bricked once and the rest are good result so 10/10 i like to main this deck until further update coming from my favourite RDA guy 11:40 good taste in music as well for persona 4 music

[@JaimePerera]

Hey how comes when spirit of yubel was temporarily banished, it didn't came back as they used the regular method to fusion summon it

[@MrKcampoli]

Due to Phantom of Yubel's summon condition (MUST be special summoned from the Extra Deck) because phalanx resummons it it isnt able to, because it isnt from the Extra Deck

[@goblinfhd4997]

Will ancient pixie dragon be replaced by kuibelt when they'll eventually release him or is there another lvl 7 that can replace her in future?

[@ZedLockYT]

@@goblinfhd4997 Yes, Ancient Pixie will be replaced by Kuibelt once it is released in MD. Kuibelt is the only good replacement tbh, the other lvl 7 dark dragon synchro are meh

[@goblinfhd4997]

@@ZedLockYT ok thanks a lot for the info and for the videos, love them

[@kurosan0079]

I've been out of the game for a while. RDA can use Crimson Dragon now? Is this a sign to go back?!

[@ZedLockYT]

Yup, RDA can abuse Crimson Dragon with Centurion (or if you are playing the new card, Shining Star Dragon (though, I don't recommend it, since King Calamity is banned)).

[@jonasbiomedico]

I'd like to see a deck 60 cards of pure ressonator.

[@God_of_RDA]

Zed. Did you SEE Earthbound Immortal Red Nova? I'm losing it over the card art

[@ZedLockYT]

yup, I use the card in OCG and sometimes play it on Mdpro3

[@Fortress684]

Have you tried the version with labrynth? By the way another great video Zed

[@ZedLockYT]

Yes,I play RDA with Labrynth, it's good, can annoy a lot of opponents because of Lab, and provides a good endboard because of RDA, but I dpn't think I will be uploading one on the channel, cuz in reality, I despise Labs so much XDDDDD

[@Fortress684]

@@ZedLockYT That answers why you haven't played it haha . . I also hated that deck a lot.

[@saadghafoor2026]

Have you made a pure RDA deck with only one red lotus ?

[@ZedLockYT]

yup, check decklist 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqqqemiMiJesrposi=AvJ-TxrmTO6hV2st remove Shining Star and add Gaia

@@ZedLockYT sure if you do that then how do u summon crimson dragon and do the trishula thing . Or do you remove them from extra deck as red resanator locks you in

[@갓라이팬-w3z]

이 덱으로 다이아에서 55판정도 했는데 고점일땐 가장 쎕니다! 하지만 60덱의 한계인지 어느정도 안정성이 아쉬울때가 많습니다 재미는 보장합니다 비스테드에 잘 저격당하는 덱 상대로는 강한데 아닐때는 말림패가 될 때가 있습니다 지금은 60 센츄리온 크샤트리아 RED ARCHFIEND로 하고 있는데 재밌습니다 LOL 영상 잘 봤습니다

[@Someguy565]

I spent all my gems on the savage crimson pack and it BETTER BE WORTH IT Also do you think shining star dragon is playable?

[@ZedLockYT]

only play Shining if you are going pure, unless no! Since KC is banned it's also not worth it. The card is also a huge brick in my personal opinion, I lost games with it due to drawing it at the worst possible time or at the opening hand going second XD Once KC is unbanned it will be somewhat worth playing again in pure

[@negu7505]

Blue earthbound are necessary?

[@ZedLockYT]

It's a good searcher for our resonator monsters, so yes I recommend having it in the deck

[@ashura2431]

We totally wouldn't use crimson red dragon to cheat out Calamity on our opponent's turn. That would be disgusting! (grabs chainsaw) Where's my calamity, Konami? I already asked the guys chilling in my basement. They're losing their heads. (Literally) Zed cooked again! How is the consistency of 60 card rda cent byst? Does this deck brick a lot?

[@ZedLockYT]

The deck does brick, but only when I open on Beast or Regained, any other card are fine. You can remove Beast and replace it with Baldrake. Anything else is good and I highly recommend this deck, tune it up a bit depending on your preference

[@pietropieragnoli1346]

also why you keep the centurion engine at 1?

[@ZedLockYT]

Adding more will brick the deck, we don't want the monsters in our hand. They are meant to be placed in our spell/trap zone with either emblema or the field spell

[@pietropieragnoli1346]

have you considered to put there bonfire to reach the centurion easily?

[@ZedLockYT]

We don't want our Centurion monsters in our hand anyway, so we don't need bonfire

[@pietropieragnoli1346]

@@ZedLockYT i was trying to put centurion engine in swordsoul deck, actually not bad, only thing is both deck need the normal summon, and a couple of cards lock you on wyrm or centurion , but if u got full board u got at least 3 negation
