This Red-Eyes deck focuses on speed. Specifically summoning strong monsters one after the other to quickly overwhelm your opponent.
Quickly take charge of the field and bombard your opponent with strong attacks, not giving them time to recover!
There are a number of ways to quickly getting strong monsters on the field.
If you have a Black Dragon's Chick and a Red-Eyes Black Dragon in your hand, you can summon the Black-Dragon's Chick and special summon the Red-Eyes Black Dragon using the Black Dragon's Chick as tribute.
Another option is using The Black Stone of Legend which lets you special summon a Level 7 or lower Red-Eyes
monster directly from your deck.
If you're lucky to have a Red-Eyes Insight card, you can use the spell immediately and send one Red-Eyes
monster to the GY and select a Red-Eyes Fusion card. Then use it to Fusion Summon either Meteor Black Comet Dragon or Archfiend Black Skull Dragon.
If one monster isn't enough for you, you can banish one monster on the field and summon Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, and use its effect to special summon any Dragon monster from either your hand or GY once per turn.
When you summon Meteor Black Comet Dragon, you can send one Red-Eyes
monster to the GY and immediately inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the original ATK of the monster. You can quickly follow this up by using Inferno Fire Blast and targeting Meteor Black Comet Dragon and dealing an additional 3500 damage directly to your opponent.
Attacking Archfiend Black Skull Dragon on the other hand gives an additional effect during the end of the Battle Phase of letting you choose one Red-Eyes
monster in the GY and inflict damage directly to your opponent equal to its ATK in the GY, as long as damage calculation is performed.
The deck sadly doesn't have a lot of cards with regards to protecting your cards.
You can set Red-Eyes Spirit on the field and trigger it whenever your opponent destroys a normal Red-Eyes
monster to revive it.
Return of the Dragon Lords is another viable option to resurrect a monster in your GY. And while it's in your GY, you can banish it to keep one of your monsters from being destroyed by either battle or card effects.
Normal summoning Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact can turn it into an effect by normal summoning it, protecting all your Red-Eyes
monsters from being destroyed by both battle & card effects.
If you have two Level 7 Red-Eyes
monsters on the field, you can use them to Xyz Summon Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon. It has an effect that it deals 500 damage directly to your opponent whenever they activate a card or effect. Also, if you detach one material from it you can choose one Red-Eyes
Normal Monster and Special Summon it from the GY.
Further into the match, you can tribute one Red-Eyes Black Dragon and summon Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon. It's a special monster that gains 300 ATK for each Dragon Monster you have in the GY.
Now that your cards are protected, and you have a lot of strong monsters on the field, keep attacking your opponent until their LP reduces to 0!
|
The Black Stone of Legend
|
Black Dragon's Chick
|
Red-Eyes Black Dragon
|
These are the fastest ways to get a Red-Eyes Black Dragon onto the field. You can use a Black Dragon's Chick if you have Red-Eyes Black Dragon in your hand, or use The Black Stone of Legend if all your Red-Eyes Black Dragons are in your deck.
|
The Black Stone of Legend
|
Black Dragon's Chick
|
Red-Eyes Black Dragon
|
Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon
|
Summoning Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon is exactly like summoning Red-Eyes Black Dragon early, just with an additional step of tributing your Red-Eyes Black Dragon to summon Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon.
Summoning Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon this way gives you an additional effect of adding two more Dragon Monsters to your GY, giving it an additional 600 ATK on top of its 2400 ATK. This will only increase given the number of Dragon Monsters you have in your GY.
|
Red-Eyes Fusion
|
Meteor Black Comet Dragon
|
A very simple way to Fusion Summon Meteor Black Comet Dragon. All you need to do is use Red-Eyes Fusion during your main phase and pick the necessary monsters to fuse and you can Special Summon it to the field.
As soon as you Special Summon Meteor Black Comet Dragon, you can activate its effect to send a Red-Eyes
monster to the GY and directly deal damage to your opponent equal to half the original ATK of the selected Red-Eyes
monster.
|
Red-Eyes Fusion
|
Archfiend Black Skull Dragon
|
A very simple way to Fusion Summon Archfiend Black Skull Dragon. All you need to do is use Red-Eyes Fusion during your main phase and pick the necessary monsters to fuse and you can Special Summon it to the field.
Archfiend Black Skull Dragon has a unique effect that whenever damage calculation is performed involving this monster, at the end of the Battle Phase, you can select one Red-Eyes
monster in your GY and inflict damage directly to your opponent equal to the chosen monster's original ATK before shuffling the card from your GY back to your deck.
|
Red-Eyes Black Dragon
|
Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon
|
Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon
|
A great monster to have on the field. Using a Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Red-EYes Black Flare Dragon as material, you can summon it onto the field.
While Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon is on the field, it'll deal 500 damage directly to your opponent each time they activate a card or effect after it resolves.
|
Red-Eyes Baby Dragon
|
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon
|
Another fairly easy summon. You can actually replace Red-Eyes Baby Dragon with any face-up Dragon Monster you have on the field. Red-Eyes Baby Dragons may be the best bet as you'll need to banish the chosen face-up Dragon Monster to successfuly summon the Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon.
Once per turn during your Main Phase, you can use its effect to Special Summon 1 Dragon Monster from either your hand or GY to the field.
 Fusion Substitute
|
If you don't have Red-Eyes Fuion, using Fusion Substitute may be a viable option. The only downside is you won't be able to use cards in either your hand or your Deck to fusion summon a monster, but have them be on the field. |
|---|---|
 Pot of Avarice
|
Pot of Avarice may work as a viable substitute for Red-Eyes Insight in a pinch, however you won't be able to choose the card you want or need. |
 Dark World Dealings
|
Similar to Pot of Avarice, Dark World Dealings may work as a substitute for Red-Eyes Insight, but offers the same problem of not being able to choose the card you want or need. Also, your opponent gets to draw one card as well. |
 Return of the Red-Eyes
|
A budget Called by the Grave. But may be more useful in some ways as it's not limited to just monster cards. |
The key to beating Red-Eyes Decks is to limit and disrupt the flow of summons.
Going with a deck similar to a Dark Magician Deck that can control the flow of the Duel may turn things to your favor!
Dark Magician Deck List and Card Guide
| Nibiru, the Primal Being | |
|---|---|
|
When users of a Zoodiac deck begin their summoning spree, you can quickly tribute as many face-up monsters on the field, and summon this onto your opponent's field. This will quickly disrupt them from doing any more summons or even stopping them from completing their Synchro or Xyz Summon. |
| Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion | |
|
Using this card, you can quickly cancel specific effects that are at the core of Zoodiac decks by discarding this card. You can apply this whenever your opponent adds cards from the GY to their hand, Deck, or Extra Deck, whenever they Special Summon a Monster Card from the GY, or whenever they banish a card from the GY. |
| Summon Limit | |
|
A trap card that limits the summon of both parties to a maximum of two times per turn. This will quickly put a halt to chaining Link Summons that Zoodiac Deck users do to quickly bring out Infinitrack Fortress Megaclops. |
| Vanity's Fiend | |
|
A monster that can't be special summoned, but locking special summons until he's destroyed. This will quickly put a halt on any and all Special Summoning, but do note that you won't be able to do any special summons as well. |
| Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring | |
|
Similar to Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, this card can be quickly used to cancel specific effects that are at the core of Zoodiac decks by discarding this card. |
This Red-Eyes Deck relies on Summoning strong monsters quickly to deal big damages early in the game.
Using a combination of spells and traps to stop those summons from happening will quickly put the duel in your favor.
| Packs | |
|---|---|
 The Cerise in the Ebony |
 Master Pack |
 Legacy Pack |
|
You can get most if not all the key cards for this deck from The Cerise in the Ebony Secret Pack or the Master Pack. Summoned Skull on the other hand can be found via The Legacy Pack.

I'm sorry that deck is horrendous. Sure its keeping the focus of red eyes as much as possible but there was way better options. You can replace meteor with mana dragon as it can help replace a destroyed spell or trap (which is nice if you turn 1 red eyes fusion or verte then set a lot of nice back row like return of red eyes, fang with chain, etc)
