EAC week turns LIGHT.

Strategic Summary:
Welcome back for another CDP, and this time we’re embracing the new R8NK Photon Galaxy Extended Art Card and showcase some of the hidden potential of the Photon/Galaxy strategy. The Photon/Galaxy gameplan is simple – leverage LIGHT monsters to Xyz Summon R8NK and R4NK monsters, and leveraging those summons to win the duel. For example, it could already make Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy to negate a Spell, Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord to negate a monster, or Number C62: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon to win the duel. Now it has a new extension tool – Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon – Photon Howling (YGOrg Translation) – to gain even more access to your Photon monsters by summoning one straight out of the deck… while also being able to negate all other face-up cards on the field.
To get there, the theme is chalk-full of different ways of extending plays within the Main Deck. You have Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon and Photon Vanisher which can inherently summon from hand, you have Photon Delta Wing and Schwarzschild Infinity Dragon to summon from Deck, you have Photon Emperor or Galaxy Summoner to summon from GY… yeah, there are options alright. Then, with the help of the OG Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon itself, Galaxy Hundred can begin to strip options from your opponent’s Extra Deck, one summon at a time. Embrace the might of the Galaxy, with the new Photon boss!
Q Note: This CDP was unfortunately finished, recorded, and ready prior to the reveal of Galaxy Defense Robot Orbital 7, but that will give me a reason to cover an alternative variant in the future!
