Creative Deck Strategy: It’s a Bird? It’s a Plane?

Welcome to the next installment of my CDS articles, this time focused on an archetype that never truly took off to its full potential. Literally. The Mecha Phantom Beast archetype is one of the most versatile archetypes ever created, able to play Synchro Spam, Control, Rank 3/6/9 Xyz Spam, Rank 4/7/10 Xyz Spam, or even Swarm. Yet, they […]

Welcome back to a new CDS article, and this time we will be discussing a deck that has broken through into the competitive scene in the past through reliance on chance. Today, that all changes as I’m going to introduce you to low-chance Infernoids, relying on controlled milling and speedy drawpower!

Welcome to the next installment of the CDS articles, this time focused on combining Pendulum monsters with Ritual Summoning! Ritual monsters have always been the odd man out, requiring a large commitment in order to bring them to the field, so what better way to compensate for this hefty investment than to use Pendulum monsters […]

We’ve all watched as Pendulum Monsters have come to sweep across the competitive metagame, as Pendulum archetypes have risen to define formats and dictate the most powerful tech cards. Instead, let’s discover what can happen when themes and archetypes use Pendulum engines to augment and enhance their strengths!

Casual Deck Strategy: Token Back the Spotlight!

Welcome to a new CDS article and this time we will be discussing a mechanic-centric deck, rather than just one archetype. Tokens have existed from the beginning of time for Yu-Gi-Oh, although they have not seen too much competitive play outside of the rogue Scapegoat or Dandylion. Could that all change with the impending arrival of three new […]

Pendulum Monsters – What Went Wrong?

Pendulum Monsters – What Went Wrong?

From their initial release almost 2 years ago, Pendulum Monsters have grown from being completely undervalued and niche into a competitive dreadnought. Across the TCG and OCG, the Pendulum Craze has taken hold, as the “PePe” deck has finally arrived in the TCG with most of the power it used to dominate the OCG format. This […]

Casual Deck Strategy: The Burgesstoma Principle

Casual Deck Strategy: The Burgesstoma Principle

Welcome back to another CDS article, and this time we are going to be discussing a very special archetype, one that actually carves out its unique niche as an engine rather than an actual deck at this current point in time. Introducing the Burgesstoma, the archetype of prehistoric ocean fossils reanimated as Trap Cards that actually can […]

Welcome to my next CDS article, and we will be taking an indepth look into the brand new Red-Eyes Support! Red-Eyes B. Dragon has had multiple waves of support over its history, but its most recent wave of support in Clash of Rebellions and Dragons of Legend 2 has left a lot of duelists staggering, unsure of how to […]

Casual Deck Strategy: Return to Endymion!

Welcome to my next CDS article, and we will be returning to a deck that I have covered once before! Spell Counter decks have always struggled with one big issue – either you would draw too many monsters and not enough spells, or you would draw too many spells and not enough monsters. Even the […]

Casual Deck Strategy: Fortune’s Future

Welcome to my next CDS article, and in this revival of my old article series, I will be discussing a theme that never got to shine. I’m sure you’ve guessed it by the obvious title, but this is all about the Fortune Ladies! The Fortune Lady archetype never caught on for a variety of reasons; mostly that it […]

A year following the last article about a TCG-Premiere archetype on Noble Knights, I decided to get together with the other U.A. fanboy on the YGOrg writing staff (UltimateKuriboh) and work on creating a comprehensive guide to the U.A. (Ultra Athlete) archetype! Click below to read about the sport freaks in all of their glory, and learn how you […]
