Transmigrate space Dragons and concert Fairies!

Strategic Summary:
Welcome back for another CDP featuring newly revealed cards, and today I am featuring a heavy combo deck that can setup quite the fearsome turn one board. The Tachyon archetype was first introduced with Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon and its trusty Tachyon Transmigration Counter Trap, which can negate all of your opponent’s activated cards and monster effects in the entire chain. Since then, it hasn’t had much direct support of note, but with the latest Duelist Pack, Tachyon has been revealed to get a new wave introducing Main Deck Tachyon monsters. I’m going to start with Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Primal (YGOrg Translation), a Level 8 Dragon that can Special Summon itself from the hand to either field, just by controlling a Dragon Xyz monster. Either way, when Special Summoned, its owner (you) can tutor a Tachyon S/T. Even though this is a once-per-turn effect, if you give one to your opponent, then summon one to your field later in the turn, you’ll still get to search two cards! The other new monster helps make this possible, Tachyon Cloudragon (YGOrg Translation), by tributing itself to Special Summon any Tachyon monster from your Deck or GY.
In addition to these new monsters, the theme also received direct support in Schwarzschild Infinity Dragon (YGOrg Translation), which Special Summons itself and another Level 8 LIGHT/DARK Dragon from your Deck such as Galactic Spiral Dragon, and Dragluxion (YGOrg Translation), a new R8NK Xyz monster that tutors a Galaxy or Tachyon card on summon. Additionally, Dragluxion can faux-Xyz Summon any R8NK Dragon Xyz monster using itself as material. Both of these effects contribute greatly to the deck, as it adds consistency and power, still letting you summon out something like Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy to disrupt your opponent. Speaking of disruption, that is what this deck does best. Between your three copies of Tachyon Transmigration, three copies of Solemn Judgment, three copies of Infinite Impermanence, and Numbers Protection, you will definitely have enough to stop your opponent from developing a board. But if you go second, Number 107 will bust through your opponents’ monsters by negating their effects, setting up for a Tachyon Spiral of Destruction (YGOrg Translation) to destroy them all!
Beyond the Tachyon cards I already mentioned, the other named archetype here is the Melodious, a group of LIGHT Fairies that recently received two Pendulum monsters in LEDE. This new wave of Melodious cards is just so good that it has become a splashable engine. In here, just one copy of Refrain the Melodious Songstress can lead to a fully developed board of Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess, either Number 38 or Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord, two copies of Tachyon Transmigration, and a Galaxy-Eyes Cipher X Dragon. You’ll see a few variations on this combo in the test duels, as in the modern game, you’ll rarely run into an opponent with no forms of disruption to try and stop your combo. But that’s the thing – this deck is flexible enough to play through that disruption, and shoot for the win anyways. Hope you enjoy this spacefaring deck, as I celebrate the impending arrival of the new Tachyon cards!

Interesting… never been a fan of low monster count. I tend to try to at least balance my monsters so they at least average or exceed my total spell/trap count. But if it works I guess…
Hi there! There’s definitely a way to build Tachyon with endless monsters that support the R8NK playstyle. I took them in a bit of a different direction here, but you do you and build it to fit your playstyle and preference!
The new melodious engine is pretty good and underrated.
I’ve made some weird deck blends myself but I’m almost mad I’m not the first to think of blending the deck of my favourite ZEXAL character and my favourite YGO girl in general. Definitely going to build a variant of this if I get back into the TCG.
If you’re still taking ideas for this series, one of the ones I cooked up was a Hyphen squad deck of Centur-Ion and Z-ARC. They have a surprising amount of synergy thanks to Z-ARC Synchro Universe as well as the Centur-Ion field spell + Darkwurm in hand letting you start both routes instantly. I’d love to see your take on it with the new support
Hihi! Glad you enjoyed it. As far as ideas, I love the idea of Centur-Ion + Supreme King… I do have two separate profiles planned for next month using those themes, but I’ll take that idea to the workshop to see what can be cooked up 🙂
