KING DRAGUN
"Lord of D." + "Divine Dragon Ragnarok"
As long as this card remains face-up on the field, your opponent cannot target Dragon-Type monsters for the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Monster Card. Once per turn, you can Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type monster from your hand to your side of the field.
ATK: 2400 DEF: 1100

Rulings
The first effect of "King Dragun" is a Continuous Effect. The second effect of "King Dragun" is an Ignition Effect.

Your opponent cannot target a Dragon-Type Fusion Monster with "De-Fusion" while "King Dragun" or "Lord of D." is on the field because "De-Fusion" targets.

"Divine Wrath" is NOT a card that targets, so "Divine Wrath" may be used against Dragon-Type monsters while "King Dragun" or "Lord of D." is on the field.

You can chain "Divine Wrath" to the effect of "King Dragun" that Special summons a Dragon-Type monster.
[Re: Divine Wrath] "Divine Wrath" is NOT a card that targets, so "Divine Wrath" may be used against Dragon-Type monsters while "King Dragun" or "Lord of D." is on the field.

[Re: Divine Wrath] You can chain "Divine Wrath" to the effect of "King Dragun" that Special summons a Dragon-Type monster.

[Re: Last Turn] "Last Turn" does not target so you can select monsters like "Tyrant Dragon" and "Fiend Skull Dragon" for its effect or a Dragon-Type monster while "King Dragun" or "Lord of D." is on the field. You can select "Spirit Reaper" and it will not be destroyed by its effect.

With the rulings out of the way, allow me to guide you all through the uniqueness of King Dragun! Firstly if anyone plans on running Dragun, you should obviously run a dragon deck because both of his effects only work with dragons. The game plan is that I will first talk about his special abilities, then move on to the various methods of special summoning Dragun out to the field and finally talk about his competitiveness, art and amine appearances.

Ok, Dragun's first ability is very similar to lord of D and cyber phoenix, however there are key differences! Firstly Lord of D sais that whenever EITHER player targets a dragon on ANY side of the field, the card automatically fails to work. With Cyber phoenix when ever EITHER player specifically designates a machine with a spell or trap that card is instantly NEGATED. King Dragun has some similarities and differences to those effects. Dragun’s effect applies only when the opponent specifically designates a dragon which means feel free to use cards like rush recklessly or whatever to pump up your dragons ATK. This is different to Lord of D and cyber phoenix because they negated your own spells and traps too. Also unlike cyber phoenix, King Dragun can also negate pesky monster effects that target dragons like that warrior monster that most decks run a pair of. What was it called again? Oh yeah exiled force! Your opponent can forget about blowing up Dragun or any of his dragon comrades with exiled force. While we are on the subject, old vindictive magician won’t be destroying any dragons while King Dragun is out on the field either. Sak armors won’t be doing too much either except just sitting there preventing the opponent to bring back their treeborn frog from their graveyard. Also ring of destruction won’t be doing too much either. How about the versatile Enemy controller? Neither effect will work on any dragon type monster while Dragun is out. Also book of moon won’t be negating any attacks from dragon type monsters. However there is a way around this. Bottomless trap hole, smashing ground and D.D warrior lady (Trap, spell and monster respectively) do not target and King Dragun and any other dragon type monster are venerable to those cards. Ok that’s probably enough for his first effect, now lets take a quick look at his second ability.

This secondary effect allows King Dragun to summon any dragon type monster from the hand to the field once per turn providing that the dragon monster can be special summoned. This second ability is pretty useful too for bringing out high level dragons for free, which can save you having to lose cards sacrificing for Dragon type monsters. I especially like special summoning hours LV6 then levelling up to 8 during the endphase. That’s all there is to that ability, no need to explain it any further than that.

Ok for a fusion monster that’s not so bad considering he packs 2 decent abilities. But there’s just one slight problem. Having to bring him out onto the field. There are a few ways of doing this. Firstly you can go with fusion subs with either lord of D, divine dragon ragnarok and/or the dark hex sealed fusion. Those 3 cards are not exactly very great on their own. Divine dragon is a vanilla monster with a mere 1500 ATK, he won’t be doing too much. Lord of D has a special ability but with his low 1200 ATK he really won’t be staying on the field for long to abuse that effect. The dark hex at least has 1600 DEF so he can withstand blows from hydrogeddons but not enough DEF for the mighty cyber dragon. Now if you wanted to run the dark hex and lord of D, feel free to throw in a trio of mystic tomato as he can search out either one of them. Also throw in a Dragon’s mirror or 2 to RFG the fusion materials from the graveyard for a free Dragun. If you really wanted to run divine dragon ragnarok and the dark hex, then throw in a future fusion to dump the 3 ragnaroks and 2 additional dragons to the graveyard for a F.H.D. The only problem is that fusion subs take up too much space for my liking. This is where the second method comes in.

Using metamorphosis on a fusilier dragon can give you an instant Dragun. Fusilier is easy to summon to the field anyway so it’s all good. The only problem is consistency. With this strategy you are only going to be able to bring out one King Dragun if you pull it off. With the first tactic you can essencially pull 2 and more consistently but then it takes too much space for my liking (then again I am running a deck that is trying to fusion summon both Dragun and F.H.D so there you go). Its times like these I wish metamorphosis weren’t limited…

Let’s move on to the competitive world. King Dragun has yet to see any competitive play… I believe this is mainly because he requires too much of an investment in space in a deck for him and players need to make every card as versatile as possible. Hopefully one day I might be able to make a competitive dragon deck but for the time being I don’t think its going to happen.

Enough on that, finally I will talk about his art and anime appearances. I personally think the picture for King Dragun owns even though some people think that they just used a glue stick to create him… King Dragun has only appeared in one episode and that’s in yugioh GX when one of Chazz’s older brothers uses King Dragun.

Well I hope you enjoyed this article and thanks for reading.

Nice ^^ Well done!

King dragon seems like a must for dragon types. The effects are great, the only problem like you said is brining it out but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Once's he's out you're almost safe for everything that your foe throws at you. It's a nice effects because he doesn't only protect himself but all other dragons as well, and you can special summon a dragon once a turn as well!

In the right hands, this card can do turn the duel around.

Yeah Dragun is cool and yeah once I get him out against my bro I have pretty much got it in the bag unless he has a smashing ground, a bottomless trap hole or if he double KO's my dragun with his thestalos. I find it tough trying to make a F.H.D deck and a King dragun deck which utulises Future fusion but I'm working on it. Anyway I thought King Dragun deserved some justice, hence I wrote the article.

Yeah, and you did a pretty good job at it! ^^

Yeah, awsome card indeed.
Honestly I never tried making a King Dragun deck before, but it looks well worth the time ^__^ Not only does it have decent stats and powerful effects, but also a low level, making it summonable more easly.
Hmm...thought your deck was powerful, but this strategy you're talking about, it's killer And I don't think I've seen the last of your deck yet...
About getting it on the field...well, I don't think it's harder compared to other fusion cards...*shrugs*
Great job with the article, the coverage is pretty extensive and really detailed

Yeah I am still working on ways to get Dragun out to the field fast and frequently. The only problem is my mate is now running macro cosmos which just messes my deck up completely. No dragon's mirror, I can't level up horus, heck last will doesn't work either... Its not cool. Anyways thanks for reading my article and I'm glad you all enjoyed it ^__^

Cna i ask, if i used Mirror Force or dark hole, will king dragun and the other dragons type on the field be destroy???

Perhaps not the best place to ask however yes, mirror force and dark hole do not target 1 specific monster on the field. Therefore all dragon type will be destroyed due to either mirror force or dark hole.

well, thx for tell me, although i don't really know where to ask, cos i need something to strengthen my deck... thx alot
