Meta Analysis
Dracotail has carved out a top position in both the TCG and Master Duel formats. It is highly favored in the current meta because it can play through or play under floodgates and hand traps well. Its two strongest variants currently are Pure Dracotail (which plays heavy non-engine cards and recycles hand traps for better disruption) and Branded Dracotail (which utilizes Branded Fusion to set up a larger board of omni-negates and banishes like Mirrorjade and Dragoon).
