Bahamut ZERO

Us TCG players have a huge advantage in this game. Since the vastly majority of our card pool has been previously released in the OCG, we are fortunate enough to have a number of pre-tested strategies at our disposal. Sure the secondary market prices are higher here, but that's usually not an issue for the dedicated duelist. After all, if you want to play something that wins, why not just use something someone else has proven successful. 

Now, I'm not trying to encourage netdecking or anything, but even have to admit the folk in the East can make some really innovative builds. Take a look at the following Absolute Zero varient created by OCG player Bahamut84, the build here was taken from Neuxcharge's YouTube channel:

Now the first thing that caught my attention was the name. For those of you unfamiliar with the series, Bahamut is the name of a recurring Dragon summon in the Final Fantasy series. He is usually one of the more powers summon and is even known as the King of Dragons. Such a fitting name for a deck that specializes in summoning Dragon-type Synchros and Elemental Hero Fusions.

Unfortunately there are a number of cards not currently available in the TCG and out of these there are even a few without any planned release date. But this shouldn't discourage one from building the deck. With a little innovation I think can make this deck TCG compatible and competitive.

Remember players, the game ends with you.
