Dragon Lockdown (also known as Horus Lockdown) focuses on locking down the opponent, gradually taking away their ability to use Monster, Spell, and Trap Cards. This Deck uses a compilation of monsters that Special Summon themselves and monsters that quickly lock down the opponent. Multiple copies of "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" and/or "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" are used with "Jinzo", in conjunction with "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" and "Prime Material Dragon" to rapidly bring forth powerful monsters capable of locking down your opponent. The other way on summoning "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" is by reducing the attack power of your opponent monster during the damage step by using such as "Shrink", "Forbidden Dress", and "Forbidden Lance", also these cards can protect Horus from being destroyed by cards such as "Bottomless Trap Hole" and "Mirror Force" except for "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 because it is unaffected by spell cards and by adding the attack power of "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4" this card can destroy the opponents monster by using "Forbidden Chalice" but beware in using "Forbidden Chalice" because it can prevent "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4 to increase its level due to its effect where negated.
This strategy can also used in conjunction with the Armed Dragons ("Armed Dragon LV3", less than the others) to further lockdown your opponent. These are used to destroy face-up monsters (by discarding cards) and make it possible to attack directly or stop monsters' effects.
This decktype can often be very fast but it also has the danger of getting stuck with many high-Level monster in your hand without any way to get them onto the field. Use "Totem Dragon" or other such cards that can Special Summon themselves from your Graveyard to avoid this risk along with "Mausoleum of the Emperor", "Dragon Ravine", and even "Star Blast". "Magical Mallet" might be useful as well, allowing you to return dead cards in your hand back into the Main Deck in exchange for possible better cards.
