Red-Eyes and his uses

[Ursiel]

I have always had a fondness for Red-Eyes Black Dragon. All started because of Inferno Fire Blast. Back in the day I was able to pair it with Ting of Destruction and Serial Spell for quick burn, often game-ending burn.

Now it has options. There is still IFB, but now we have its strongest fusion available, and various ways to get REBD on field. Especially without having to use Red-Eyes B. Chick. Hieratics can do it, and even at 0 attack on field IFB only cares what the dragon's original attack is for the effect to burn for 2400 damage. Dragon Shrine gives a 1-card way to End Phase a REBD, just send him and his Wyvern to grave.

So here's the deck-



Any questions or ideas?

Where is Silver's Cry/Roar of Silver in this deck? Seems like it would be a solid one, also helps make Fire Blast less dead.

Trying to fit that is a pain right now. So much of that has been useful. The only thing I can think to do is replace the MSTs with them and just hope to have more summons than the opponent could handle.

About the only thing Wyvern has over Silver's Cry is that it's a Dragon if you need fodder to Fusion Summon Five-Headed Dragon. Otherwise, Cry can summon other Normals if need be, as well as baiting out MSTs, and can still summon REBD without waiting for the End Phase or having to kill your Normal Summon (which I think is important, considering the usefulness of Tour Guide going off often). So maybe you can look into that swap.

Maybe, but I have already had to use a 1st turn Shrine for a REBD and Wyvern because I had no other way to get a monster to field. With Silver's Cry I would have needed that in hand as well as the Shrine or Foolish. Might drop 1 Wyvern and the MST for a full set of Cry though.
