A new Reptile archetype is here to Rain supreme; I mean Reign supreme…
Replays:
Strategic Summary:
Introducing the Abhyss theme from the upcoming Ancient Guardians set, a chaotic bunch of LIGHT and DARK Reptiles. These new snakes center on reincarnation from the GY, offering a variety of ways to summon their litany of bosses by offering monsters on your field as tribute. For example, Curse, Dawn of the Abhyss (YGOrg Translation) can tribute 1 monster you control to summon itself, lets your opponent summon a monster from the GY (only if they have one), then you trigger its second effect to summon a Level 4 Abhyss from the GY. The King and Queen of the Abhyss, two dual mid-level bosses, center on disruption, sending from your opponents field or hand while also generating advantage for you, especially if both of them are on the field together. As hinted in the title, the direction I took with my initial stab of the theme was to employ W Nebula Meteorite, the old Worm support trap, since it can summon ANY Lv7+ LIGHT Reptile during the End Phase, such as Aron, King of the Abhyss (YGOrg Translation) or Ogdoabyss, Diety of the Abhyss (YGOrg Translation), the theme’s highest-leveled boss monster! Finally, with reliance on facedown monsters for Meteorite, what better support card is there than Book of Eclipse to disrupt combo decks and stop them in their tracks. Embrace snakes with this new archetype that will debut soon!
Note: As many of these cards were recently revealed, most of the names used below are YGOrg translations of the OCG text. As these cards are also yet to be released even in the OCG or backed by official rulings, card interactions as they currently stand cannot be fully guaranteed. As always, I’ve provided links to the Yugipedia pages for all of the non-TCG cards in the decklist. Feel free to use those links to fully explore the new Abyss Support or check out their Yugipedia page here: Abhyss – Yugipedia – Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki
