Dragonmaid Deck Guide: How to Play

The Deck will be receiving a revamp in the near future. Please look forward to a new in-depth section!

Playstyle and Win Condition

Dragonmaid Decks aren't unstoppable by any means. However, what makes it fun is that it has a way of snowballing resources making it tough to keep up with.

This makes Dragonmaid Decks a decent anti-midrange deck.

The key with Dragonmaid Decks is to completely overwhelm your opponent by continuously reviving your Monster Cards. Using card effects between turns and standby phases making it hard for your opponent to catch up.

Just continue your combos and attacks until you decrease their LP to 0.

Starting the Duel

Normal Summon Kitchen Dragonmaid onto the field and activate its effect to send Dragonmaid Tidying to the GY. Banish it afterwards, and Special Summon Chamber Dragonmaid.

Then, activate Chamber Dragonmaid's effect to get Dragonmaid Hospitality from the deck. Using both Kitchen Dragonmaid and Chamber Dragonmaid as materials, Link Summon Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres

Now, you will have the ability to put back a face-up card from the field to the hand by tributing one of your cards, as well as being able to Special Summon a Dragonmaid Monster from either your Hand or GY.

Optimal First Turn

Similar to the steps above, summon Kitchen Dragonmaid onto the field and activate its effect to send Dragonmaid Tidying to the GY. Banish Dragonmaid Tidying and Special Summon Chamber Dragonmaid.

Now, use Chamber Dragonmaid's effect to search for Dragonmaid Changeover and use it to Fusion Summon Dragonmaid Sheou using Parlor Dragonmaid and Dragonmaid Tinkhec.

The Standby Phase

During your opponent's Standby Phase, revive Kitchen Dragonmaid using Dragonmaid Sheou, and send another Dragonmaid Tidying to the GY.

This will provide you with an Omni-Negate on the field care of Dragonmaid Sheou's effect, as well as having a back-up revive in your GY thanks to the Dragonmaid Tidying laying in wait.

The Pre-Battle Phase

Just before the Battle Phase begins, you'll want to use Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres to return one face-up monster your opponent has on the field back to their hand, tributing itself. Then, use it's additional effect to Special Summon one Nurse Dragonmaid from your hand or Deck.

Now, using Nurse Dragonmaid's effect, Special Summon another Dragonmaid Monster from your GY back onto the field.

After you resolved all the revived Dragonmaid Monsters' on-summon effects, activate their start-of-Battle-Phase effects returning all of them to your hand for their Level 7 counterparts in the GY..

The Battle Phase

With your field populated with Level 7 Dragonmaid Monsters, you should have a pretty strong set of monsters to either Attack or Defend during the Battle Phase.

You will now also have a number of Dragonmaid Monsters you can re-summon as a follow-up on your turn.

Reviving Using World Legacy Guardragon

Normal Summon any Dragonmaid monster onto the field and use their effect if any.

Then, using that Dragonmaid Monster on the field, Link Summon Salamangreat Almiraj and place it on the left Extra Monster Zone, making one of its Link Markers point to the center of your Active Field.

Using World Legacy Guardragon, revive the initial Dragonmaid Monster and use it to Link Summon Guardragon Pisty onto the field. Using World Legacy Guardragon's other effect, move it to the spot beneath Salamangreat Almiraj.

Now, you can use Guardragon Pisty's effect to Special Summon any Dragon Monsters which were either Banished or in the GY.

Core Combos and Interactions

Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres

Kitchen Dragonmaid	Dragonmaid Tidying	Chamber Dragonmaid
Dragonmaid Hospitality	Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres	-

A good combo to start your duel off, using the steps mentioned above.

Now, you will have the ability to put back a face-up card from the field to the hand by tributing one of your cards, as well as being able to Special Summon a Dragonmaid Monster from either your Hand or GY.

Dragonmaid Sheou

Kitchen Dragonmaid	Dragonmaid Tidying	Chamber Dragonmaid
Dragonmaid Changeover	Dragonmaid Tinkhec	Dragonmaid Sheou

Another good combo to start your duel off, using the steps mentioned above.

This will provide you with an Omni-Negate on the field care of Dragonmaid Sheou's effect, as well as having a back-up revive in your GY thanks to the Dragonmaid Tidying laying in wait.

If you use Dragonmaid Sheou's Effect, she'll return to your Extra Deck, and will Summon House Dragonmaid to replace her.

House Dragonmaid has an added effect where whenever one of the face-up Dragon monsters you control returns to your hand except during the Damage Step, you can target 1 monster your opponent controls to destroy it.

Guardragon Pisty Revive

Kitchen Dragonmaid	Salamangreat Almiraj
World Legacy Guardragon	Guardragon Pisty

Best Cards to Tech Against Dragonmaid

	Nibiru, the Primal Being
	When users of a Dragonmaid decks 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 Dragonmaid 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 Summons that Dragonmaid Deck users do to quickly bring out Dragonmaid Sheou.
	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 Dragonmaid 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 Dragonmaid decks by discarding this card.

Limit Summons

This Dragonmaid 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.
