Disclaimer: I will not focus on Art or grammar, unless the latter would make the deck too difficult to understand. 

Alright then! "Pulling Majestic Dragon" jokes personified in Pyke Xiang's entire shtick, huh.

I like Dragons and Dragon decks, and I own up to that. And I like the idea of Pyke essentially having a Dragon for every significant duel she has had. That is excellent storytelling gimmick too, and a perfect way to add to the storytelling of a campaign involved. For the most part, the deck also looks like a good challenge, without being too much on its own? Even Sovereign Emperor Dragon seems to enter that category where instead of anything targeting, you just bust out "Nuke the Field" card types for it. I also genuinely love Dragonrider's Pike and how it functions. Funnily enough, the card I'm most on-the-fence about is Unbreakable Spirit Countering Counters and being repeatable without using your Power Card Moves at all, but even then I can kinda see it being a thing for the Champion, and it does have a cost involved.

Now, on the flipside... While I like the storytelling gimmick by itself, it happening in the middle of the duel rubs me the wrong way? For example, Majestic Dragon in 5D's is meant to be a big, epic moment, but it still does kind of deserve some of the jokes involved. And becoming a Champion for the public, while more or less cheating by spawning an entire new card per duel specifically for the opponents's gimmick, just feels off. If she instead essentially created the card during the duel and gained it afterwards to memorize it all? That'd be honestly brilliant. But as is?

Still, dragons. Good job!

Sovereign Emperor Dragon is very strong! I'd be worried about putting my players up against that.

It's about as scary of a warrior as I could come up with, that's for sure! But from experience, it's not as invincible as it seems. Pyke's sure got the chanpion title for a reason though!

Personally I think it's a cool idea but specifically one for a reoccurring NPC. I feel like the plans to win are cool but if it's an NPC that appears only once, the first power card move will be kind of hard to make work in my opinion. I rated it two stars but if it was a reoccurring NPC in a game I'd bump it up to a 3 or 4 honestly. Good job. :)

Thanks! Something I want to make sure is bit more clear is that the dragons don't have to be based on the players' decks, or even decks that the players have seen. As long as the NPC could've reasonably faced it in the past, she can have a dragon with the gimmick. I would've loved to give a lot more examples of dragons based on common gimmicks, but I only had so much space.
