Let’s Do Something Stupid

So…ngl…I just saw the live-action How to Train Your Dragon, and it was such a good movie. I couldn’t help but wonder how I could use the (currently) only playable dragon and have fun. At first, I thought about just Sidekicking and Voltroning Lockheed and disregarding the powerful “enters play” effect. That had too many feel-bad moments and felt unthematic to the movie. So then, it quickly became how do I recur Lockheed as much as possible and get a Training card on him without paying for it.

So Let’s Do Something Crazy

So this deck aims to help you get Danger Room out quickly so you can use it to train your dragon! Then, keep recurring that dragon. There are plenty of times to flip down, call your Dragon, train it, and clear the main scheme or do some damage. You can be recurring this dragon 4 or 5 times in the course of a game.

How do we get Danger Room out quickly? Mulligan hard for Danger Room, Forge, or Build Support. You can generally get one of those within two turns. Then, find your dragon and go!

Gestured to All of Me

Well, once we get our Dragon Training Engine going, what else matters? A couple of Shadowcat tenets still hold true, it’s always worth it to make sure you end your turns in Phased to get the full defense for yourself. Deft Focus and Solid can help make sure you pay for Shadowcat’s cards. (You are flipping down enough to include X-Gene if you wanted, but I wasn't getting enough mileage to include it).

With that, the game is done. It just takes some time. As far as pacing, in solo, standard should take you 1-1.5 deck passes, and in expert, it should be 2-2.5 deck passes. That’s not a hard and fast rule, but it can help you judge if you’re pacing this deck correctly on average.

Toothless may be the main character but this deck has teeth! Great work as always!

Kitty is my favorite hero, so I always love seeing new builds for her, especially ones that break out of protection mode. Cant wait to try!

Interesting take. I wouldn't have thought about making a Lockheed focused deck. Well done!

Peak andyr, I love it! I've heard good things about the live-action remake so you get my like & favorite on this one my friend.

That's funny! I tried it once & kept getting tangled with wanting to be in AE for Danger Room or Hero for Utopia; Honorary X-men would help with that.

@Goatzilla yeah, i was shocked that it was as effective as it was, but Lockheed was a lot of fun to recur so much.

@D.M.Tip thanks!! yeah, definitely go see the live-action if you get a chance.

@dr00 :D <3. thanks!!

@Pickles haha, yeah, i can imagine that as a tough decision point. Utopia is more of a win-more card in this deck (and to give Forge a second target if you do get Danger Room out another way). i didn't mention it in the write up, but Utopia (in solo) will probably ready your allies more than they ready you. And I'm okay to use up allies early because I want to recur them more than keep them to defend with them.

I don't know what is better: The new movie or this deck
