Strategic Summary:

Welcome back for my final Zombie CDP of the month, and this time we’re breaking out the new Eldlich support wave making their debut in Alliance Insight. The Eldlich archetype consists of LIGHT/Zombie monsters, mainly supported by ‘Golden Land’ Continuous Trap cards that Special Summon themselves as a monster. For example, Conquistador of the Golden Land Special Summons itself, then if you control Eldlich the Golden Lord, it destroys a face-up card on the field. These loop into the Eldlixir support cards, which Special Summon an Eldlich monster, or if you control the Golden Lord, summons any Zombie from specific locations. For example, Eldlixir of Black Awakening summons from the hand or Deck. These loop back into the Golden Land cards, allowing you to have a cycle of disruption, advantage, and access to anything and everything you need.

In the new wave of the support, the Eldlich theme received a new Fusion called Angelcaido of the Golden Land (YGOrg Translation). This Level 10 Fusion can be Special Summoned by tributing a LIGHT Zombie, and whenever it is sent from the Field to the GY, it Special Summons any Eldlich monster from your Deck, Extra Deck, or GY. This is primarily going to be used to summon Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord, a 3800 ATK indestructible behemoth that treats itself as the OG Golden Lord while on the field. The other new card in this support wave is Eldlixir of the Exalted Golden Land (YGOrg Translation), the first support card to be treated in both subthemes, and carries two effects that support the deck. The first is to summon itself as a monster, returning a monster on the field to the hand when you do if you control Golden Lord. The second is to set a banished Golden Land or Eldlixir S/T, allowing the advantage cycle to begin anew.

So how are we supporting this theme today? Well first off, I’m including a Ghost Fusion engine, including a copy of Ghost Wyvern, the Underworld Dragon to search it. Not only does this allow for the proper Fusion Summoning of the Mad Golden Lord, but it also gives you access to Ghost Charon, the Underworld Boatman which sets up the Special Summoning of a Synchro Monster like Blue-Eyes Spirit Ultimate Dragon (YGOrg Translation) or Bystial Dis Pater from the Extra Deck without meeting their typical summoning material requirements. The other essential part to supporting the Eldlich theme today is Delta of Invitation, a Field Spell that loads the GY with a Level 5 or higher Zombie from your deck. Endlessly returning itself to your hand, this fits right into the Eldlich strategy while also supporting the unconventional removal options of both Doomking Balerdroch and Wandering Titan of Tartarus. Unleash the Golden Lord and all of his Madness, with the new and improved Eldlich strategy!
