A new Fallen Paradise to corrupt?

Strategic Summary:
Welcome back for another Creative Deck Profile, and this time I’m taking a stab at featuring the new Sacred Beasts support cards that were revealed for Chaos Origins a few weeks back. Unlike most forms of Legacy support, this new Sacred Beasts strategy replaces Hamon, Uria, and Raviel with new and improved versions of themselves, each able to add a different Type of Sacred Beast card to hand before discarding a card. For example, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder – Sacred Beast of Sinful Catastrophe (YGOrg Translation) grabs a Sacred Beast Spell. This means that this new wave doesn’t work all that well with the older support – they’ve even retrained their Field Spell as Fallen Paradise of the Sacred Beasts (YGOrg Translation). This new Field is the core of the strategy, able to send 3 other cards of the same Type from hand/field to GY, to Special Summon a Sacred Beast monster of your choosing from hand/deck/GY/Banishment… so effectively anywhere. Plus, you can do so thrice per turn. Combine this with The Orchestrator of the Sacred Beasts (YGOrg Translation), a Level 8 LIGHT/Thunder that has three different effects to Special Summon a Sacred Beast monster, and you have plenty of access to your new trio of boss monsters.
The other thing that I need to callout about the new and improved theme is its bigger and better boss – Phantasmal Sacred Beasts of Chaos (YGOrg Translation). This Level 10 Fusion boasts 5000 ATK and a Quick Effect to negate a face-up monster the opponent controls thrice per turn. Since it is a Fiend, it can easily be Fusion Summoned via Dark World Accession, a perfect tech choice when the deck already can run three copies of Snoww, Unlight of Dark World to trigger while tutoring your combo pieces. In-theme, they can also turn to Destruction Chant of the Sacred Beast (YGOrg Translation), a Normal Trap that both Special Summons a Sacred Beast monster while potentially negating the effects of a face-up card the opponent controls, and that can be banished from your GY to Fusion Summon a Phantasm Fusion. The last big engine I’ve included is a staple in Fiend piles, and that’s a Yubel engine and a small Unchained engine, allowing for even more tools to make it difficult for the opponent to break your board. This strategy I cooked up for today is truly a GX-hodgepodge of themes, and yet it works ever so well despite all the flavor, so hope you enjoy!
