    CDP: Mayakashi Argostars, post-SUDA

    Strategic Summary:

    Today’s CDP features a return to my beloved Mayakashi theme – if you missed the last time I covered this Zombie archetype, be sure to check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztGCRS608ds . Wow that was way too long ago for a deck I actually have and love IRL…

    Anyways, let’s get down to the nitty gritty of what’s changed – this deck finally doesn’t die to one handtrap on Hajun, the Winged Mayakashi anymore. And this is really because of a new TCG World Premiere card from Supreme Darkness: Vulcarrion the Rotting Phoenix. Not only can this Level 4 Zombie Tuner Special Summon itself from the hand, but it also can return itself to hand to Special another Zombie. This might not seem like much if you haven’t played Mayakashi before, but this is a game changer for the deck. The other modernization that I’ve included for today’s variant is the incorporation of Thats 10!, a Continuous Spell that supports Continuous Traps that Special Summon themselves. While of course this works great with the Argostar support cards, it also works with things like Angel Statue – Azurune, Statue of Anguish Pattern, and Apophis the Swap Deity. In other words – the Mayakashi deck can leverage all of these Continuous Traps to have even more interactions with the opponent during their turn. Instead of just having Ghost Meets Girl – A Masterful Mayakashi Shiranui Saga, you now have plenty of other tools at your disposal to make it worth it. And if you’re wondering how to trigger those 10 effects, look no further than Dakki, the Graceful Mayakashi – its effect adds up quite quick once you see it in action. Embrace the joys of Zombie Synchro Summoning, with the help of the Mayakashi!

      I recently found the thats 10 mayakashi combo out too, only problem is that thats 10 isnt really searchable, and thus sadly not a consistent piece of the combo (we really need a card which can search cards which mentions continuous traps which can summon themselve)

      If you want to know a interesting addition to this deck, there are certain monsters or continuous spells and traps which have effects that repeatedly trigger (like dark room of nighmares or all-out attacks), which can veeery quickly rack up counters on thats 10

      If you want another deck idea with thats 10, since Hrimnir was revealed now, there actually is a good way to search out thats 10, however im not sure which deck can either dump or summon it from deck, then get enough fairys in your hand or field to trigger it, and then also spam effect triggers with the few cards left in hand and field… and all of that without triggering a xeno lock which prevents you to summon trap monsters or use them as material for something… I first though trickstars would work well, but they have a rather agressive lock and their links only allow for other fairys, so youd be limmited to fairy trap monsters only to get any advantage from that
