CDP: Starry Knight Photon Galaxy, with Dragonmaid

Galaxy War Drake is back for more!

Replays:

Strategic Summary:

Welcome back for another CDP, and today we’re leveraging a Galaxy/Photon engine alongside the Starry Knight archetype to give the deck a boost to compete – just in time for the Christmas season! The Starry Knight archetype consists of Level 4 LIGHT Fairy monsters that aim to support the Level 7 LIGHT Dragon, Starry Night, Starry Dragon. When summoned from the hand, this Dragon destroys a card on the field, so looping it back and forth from the field becomes key, with effects ranging from Starry Knight Ciel to Starry Knight Arrival. In particular, you can also combine it with the theme’s Normal Trap, Starry Knight Blast, to return it to the hand while negating an opponent’s activated card or effect. With all of these LIGHT monsters comes a lot of potential, and that’s where the Photon/Galaxy cards come in handy.

The Galaxy/Photon paired archetypes consist of LIGHT monsters that aim to Xyz Summon R8NK and R4NK monsters, but they offer quite a bit of utility for all LIGHT decks. Their newest member, Galaxy War Drake (YGOrg Translation), can Special Summon itself from the hand or GY when another Level 4 LIGHT monster is Special Summoned, pairing extremely well with cards like Starry Knight Orbitael. Beyond War Drake, Galaxy Summoner gives you access to more Xyz Summoning fun, ranging from Galaxy Photon Dragon to Starring Knight. Finally, Photon Emperor and Photon Jumper are great options to send to the GY with Galaxy Hundred, giving you the potential for an additional Normal Summon or a Galaxy Cyclone when you need to remove a threat in a pinch! The final fun engine at play today consists of Chamber Dragonmaid and Dragonmaid Tidying, as Tidying serves as a great way to both bounce a Starry Dragon to the hand while bouncing an opponent’s threat. With its GY effect, you can be sure to cycle through all 3 copies after you start with just a single Chamber! Break out the Christmas cheer early, with the Starry Knight theme.
