Dragon Knights are a pretty interesting archetype to play. They get the benefit of getting the support of generic Dragon World cards while having a totally different playstyle and feel as compared to the overused and overplayed Armordragons. Thus, they straddle a fine line between competitive and rogue, often being able to counter the meta and be the meta simultaneously. Which is weird, and a paradox.
Stats-wise, they share the same base value as Armordragons but often have reversed values (4000/1/5000 instead of 5000/1/4000). They are more gauge heavy than the average Armordragon deck but ultimately cost less gauge than Jackknives. They specialize in having a variety of on-call effects coupled with various pressure columns that also create good removal effects when used in conjunction with one another. Their big bosses have abilities that allow fallen comrades from the drop zone give support in the form of buffs to remaining monsters. Ultimately, Dragon Knights play a very controlled and delicate game that wins games by technique and not raw power.
The coolest thing about Dragon Knights, though, is that cards are named after famous historical warriors and generals from all around the world.
