Hey Cardfighters,

Tell your opponents to get their diapers ready cause their about to be pooped on! Poop on your opponent's front row with the king of poop "Dung"aree!

     The big bad boss of our deck. First he is a cross-ride for the other dungaree, meaning if you have Sealed Demon Dragon, Dungaree in your soul then UNLIMITED will gain +2 which makes him consistently 13k making it super easy to guard attacks since almost everything is 16k columns nowadays. UNLIMITED's lb4 is his primary skill though since you get to retire a front row, bind a card from the top of your deck and then you get +2k for each narukami in your bind zone (so everything.) this can let you get upto 21k unboosted really easily and also helps you control your opponent's front row.

     The base form of UNLIMITED, Dungaree lets you bind 2 cards from the top of your deck when you ride him which helps set up UNLIMITED's power bar I mean... Bind Zone. This also leads into his LB4 which lets you return a card bound by "this card" to the bottom of the deck and then retire a front row rearguard. once per turn. This is really good since its only a cb1 effect which makes it pretty easy to get off. The more frustrating skill is the CONT ability "VC/RC, this unit gets -2k if there are no cards in your bind zone bound from this card's effect" This means you can't go too crazy with the LB4 and if you want Dungaree to be 11k on rearguard you need to have the starter. But overall a decent card mainly for cheap field control and possibly making a stack of triggers on the bottom of the deck if things work out right. (Definitely not plan A)

Deck Comments:
     First of lets talk about the triggers, No draw triggers with the few strides and all the self binding you'll be doing with Dungaree the deck doesn't need ways to help deck out faster especially without having a legion. We also run 2 of the starter, this is not only for just incase he gets retired but if you have 2 you can really build up your bind zone for huge numbers with UNLIMITED. The last key piece to this deck is the stand trigger. Since you can get free unflips from the stand trigger it helps a ton which grinding out games with Unlimited's CB2, Since we are running Stand Triggers then we want to use a plethora of 11k attackers as prime stand targets.

Match ups:
  • VS. D. Police (Win)
    • I get to go first and with 3 G3s in my hand I'm hoping I don't get rushed. When I hit grade 2 I call an attacker to start the pressure. He 1passes my vanguard but I get a crit. 3-1. He hits grade 2 and fills up his front row he goes for my vanguard which lets me get damage triggers and stop his 3rd attack. 3-3. I ride into dungaree and start binding calling my other dungaree too. He guards all my attacks. 3-3. He strides and while I want lb4 he hasn't hit many triggers so I pg to prevent loss to a double crit. lucky for me he gets a stand and I get lb4 anyway. I ride UNLIMITED to get crossride status and foolishly attack with rearguard first which prevents me from getting a retire off UNLIMITED's skill. 4-4. He calls nothing so I 2 pass his vanguard. 4-4. I go for a stride since he has no front row to retire. He guards carefully and I don't get the crit. 5-4. Luckily for me he doesn't stride and goes for and aggro play with rearguards. 5-4. I go for a high power hit with UNLIMITED and get a crit to seal the game.
  • VS. DOTX (Loss) #rekt
    • I get to go first but my opponent gets aggressive calling a rearguard for triggers which he gets. 0-2. He 1 passes me and I miss. 0-2. He builds his field finishing his column. 0-3. I miss crossride riding UNLIMITED first and binding with 2x dan dan. He rides DOTX and then calls a full row of attackers I 2 pas his vanguard and he goes all vanguard draw and crit. 1-5. I bind some more with a dungaree taking out his front row with my lb4. he 1 passes again and I miss. He fills up his front row with grade 3s and then legions. I don't have enough cards to guard and that's the game.
Overall Performance:
       The deck has really strong control potential but lacks strong attacks to finish games. The D. police game was pretty even though he didn't stride a lot which probably would have won him the game and the DOTX match I got destroyed by not hitting triggers while he was pulling them out of his butt like Kai.

Tips for Mastering:
  • Find the trade off between calling grade 3s for binding and striding
  • Know when to go for strides or for clearing the field with either Dungaree.
  • Learn the match ups in which cross ride excels the most and take advantage of it.

Tips for adding money:
     The first order of business would be to finish up the stride zone with conquest dragons. The next is to grab the last Anastasia for more consistent unflips. Other than that I'm not sure how else to improve the deck. Probably by adding money to the grade 2s. Maybe using Garuda for more unflips to grind your opponent out with Dungaree.
