Destrudo ABC

Destrudo the Lost Dragon’s Frisson is a Level 7 Tuner Dragon from the latest Booster Set, Circuit Break.

By targeting a Level 6 or lower monster on the field, it could Special Summon itself from hand or graveyard, and then reduce its own Level by the Level of the targeted monster. Essentially, Destrudo is an easy access to Level 7 Synchro Monsters.

This article will showcase some combos involving Destrudo the Lost Dragon’s Frisson and how it helps ABC to bring out ABC-Dragon Buster in one turn.

This combo requires Destrudo the Lost Dragon’s Frisson in either the hand or the graveyard.

Foolish Burial and Dragon Shrine could send Destrudo directly to the graveyard. Dragon Ravine could also send Destrudo, but would require a cost of 1 discard.

For Union Hangar and Dragon Ravine, they could be searched by Terraforming and Set Rotation.

1. Activate Union Hangar, add A-Assault Core from deck to hand.
2. Normal Summon A-Assault Core.
3. When A-Assault Core is successfully summoned, activate Union Hangar to equip B-Buster Drake from deck.
4. Special Summon Destrudo the Lost Dragon’s Frisson, halve your LP and target A-Assault Core.
5. Using Destrudo the Lost Dragon’s Frisson + A-Assault Core (equipped with B-Buster Drake), Synchro Summon Ancient Fairy Dragon.
6. Trigger the effects of both A-Assault Core and B-Buster Drake, forming a Chain.
   Chain 2: Resolve the effect of A-Assault Core, add B-Buster Drake from graveyard to hand.
7. Chain 1: Resolve the effect of B-Buster Drake, add C-Crush Wyvern from deck to hand.

8. Activate the effect of Ancient Fairy Dragon, Special Summon C-Crush Wyvern from hand.
9. Activate the effect of Ancient Fairy Dragon, destroy Union Hangar, gain 1000 LP and add Chicken Game from deck to hand.
10. Activate Chicken Game, pay 1000 LP and draw 1 card.
11. Using Ancient Fairy Dragon + C-Crush Wyvern, Link Summon Proxy Dragon.
12. Trigger the effect of C-Crush Wyvern, Special Summon B-Buster Drake from hand.

14. Trigger the effect of B-Buster Drake, add A-Assault Core from deck to hand.
15. Banish A-Assault Core + B-Buster Drake + C-Crush Wyvern from the graveyard, Special Summon ABC-Dragon Buster.

This is a 2-card or 3-card combo that ends with Decode Talker and ABC-Dragon Buster, while still having A-Assault Core in hand to discard for ABC’s effect.

Getting Chicken Game and activating it in Step 9 and 10 is optional. While it does give you 1 additional card, your opponent could also get a draw off it on their turn.

An alternative play is to add the second Union Hangar to hand, ready to be played on the next turn.

Destrudo the Lost Dragon’s Frisson is essentially a better version Cockadoodledoo, being able to be searched by Foolish Burial and Dragon Ravine. In turn, Dragon Ravine could be searched by Terraforming and Set Rotation.

Combo 1 is the classic Cockadoodledoo + Union Hangar combo, but using Destrudo instead.

Combo 2 and Combo 3 are for cases when you opened with a combination of A, B, C in hand, and Dragon Ravine (or only 1 of Terraforming/Set Rotation).

Combo 2 covers all the combinations involving B-Buster Drake:
Dragon Ravine + A + B
Dragon Ravine + B + B
Dragon Ravine + B + C

While Combo 3 covers combinations involving A-Assault Core:
Dragon Ravine + A + A
Dragon Ravine + A + C

As such, only the combination of Dragon Ravine + C + C is unable to summon Decode Talker and ABC-Dragon Buster on the same turn.

Combo 4 would cover cases where you don’t open with any A, B, C and Union Hangar, but with Dragon Ravine and Destrudo.

These core combos should cover most of the scenarios for bringing out Decode Talker and ABC-Dragon Buster on the first turn.
