Six Strikes by many more than Six Samurai.

Strategic Summary:
Today’s Creative Deck Profile brings the spotlight back to the Six Samurai, a theme of Warrior monsters that aim to spam the field and generate as many Bushido Counters as possible on Gateway of the Six. It’s not fun to just show endless loops, so instead of showcasing that variant, I wanted to instead focus on one that intends to flood the board respectfully, watch the opponent try to fight back, then still beat them anyways. To do so, the build makes use of the new Six Strike – Sextuple Barrage that was released in Supreme Darkness, giving you the ability to destroy all cards the opponent controls at will. Additionally, the Six Samurai are also receiving a third newer Synchro Monster in Legendary Lord Six Samurai – Kizan (YGOrg Translation), a new Level 6 that adds Quick Effect destruction to its arsenal of disruptive Synchro effects.
In addition to these newer cards, I’ve retooled the rest of the deck to add a bit of additional utility compared to my previous take on modern Six Samurai. First up is the inclusion of Battleguard Echoes, a Continuous Spell that tutors a Level 5 EARTH Warrior on activation. This gives you Grandmaster of the Six Samurai of course, but it also gives you access to Pyrite Knight to get a monster on the opponent’s board while also giving you an extra Six Samurai summon by returning Legendary Six Samurai – Kizan back to the hand. As Level 5s, either give you access to Saiba the Fighting Swordsmith (YGOrg Translation), a Level 7 Warrior Synchro that can be used to extend with an additional Warrior Special Summon from the GY, then during the opponent’s turn, use its Quick Effect to Synchro Summon using a Warrior. Of course, you may not need that effect given how powerful the modern Six Samurai deck can function, but it’s still worth giving Saiba a profile in which to shine! Happy Swordsmithing with the Six Samurai!
