Strategic Summary:
Today’s CDP features the combination of both the White Forest and Labrynth archetype, answering the question: How good is a Labrynth deck that shrugs off the costs of sending other cards from your hand to the GY even more than one would reasonably expect? That’s really the key here, as both Labrynth Stovie Torbie and Labrynth Chandraglier each can send themselves and another card from your hand to the GY to set a Labrynth S/T to your field. However, if you send a White Forest S/T to the GY to activate their effects, you just happen to set that card back to your field as well for free. Building off of that base realization, I began starting to wind additional complementary engines around this core, such as teching in a Bystial engine with The Bystial Lubellion, Bystial Druiswurm, and Bystial Magnamhut. Ultimately, this deck is built to outlast the opponent, especially once a Trap card makes a monster leave the field, triggering all of your Labrynth effects and continuing the advantage snowball.
There’s one other major element to this hybrid deck though – the Labrynth are Fiend monsters. That means that once you begin utilizing the Azamina engine, you can actually embrace the Fiend-ish nature of the Labrynth to use them as Fusion Material! That’s right, Azamina Elzette of the White Forest (YGOrg Translation) or even Sinful Spoils of the White Forest let you Fusion Summon either Azamina Moa Regina or Azamina Sol Erysichthon, letting you dedicate your activations of The Hallowed Azamina to summoning St. Azamina (YGOrg Translation), Azamina Mu Rcielago, or Azamina Ilia Silvia. But of course, you don’t just have Fusions at your disposal, since the White Forest bring in a complementary wave of Synchros as well, giving you so many tools for the toolbox that you often will just run out of boardspace to keep gaining more free advantage… what a problem to have. Anyways, venture into the Labrynth of the White Forest and discover all the riches its foliage conceals.

A 60 Card deck.
Good thinking for the build, but I don’t think u need all of those sinful spoils
Cursed armament can be used as initiate WF fodder, since it always re equips to an opportunity monster. (In fiendsmith WF, U can give Amanokujaki to ur opp.
See if u can cook with that.
Ken and gen, black garden or even Dark world ceruli.
Hi there – Cursed is an optional ‘When’ effect, so it would be unable to activate when sent to the GY to activate a White Forest effect. Also, even if you could, that requires your opponent to control a monster, which is opposite of what this deck tries to do, which is going first to setup a highly interactive board.
As far as Amanokujaki, it’s an interesting LIGHT Fiend that may eventually find a home as a tech choice in Fiendsmith, but there isn’t a good way to get it out from the deck to give to the opponent, outside of your Normal Summon. KenGen is probably the best generic engine for doing so, since that also sets up the TTT Spells, but then again, there’s minimal synergy here for that engine.
Love the brainstorming, my gut reaction is just that additional time in the oven is needed for some of those ideas.
Infinite fodder*
Especially when paired with Pharaonic Advent and A floodgate (searchable of Pharaonic) (There can be only one, Gozen match/rivalry of warlords)
But, thanks on the feedback about Cursed Armaments!
Ah, I didn’t know the cursed armament ruling.
But, I have seen amanokujaki, as a useful play with Normal summon as it has a tendency to cause problems for a lot of my opps. No tenpai Shenanigans, etc. Although it is a Hard Normal summon, I feel it is incredibly under rated in feindsmith builds. As a tuner, enables synchro plays (just as a bonus)
This is such a cool concept. You’re awesome. Please keep doing this.
Its nice to feel validated in my head seeing somebody else use that card balance when it comes to 60 cards decks (although for me its 34 monsters, 15 spells, 11 traps, the spell/trap balance can be altered if needed, so its close enough)
I want to see if Quincy can make a Maliss/Bystial deck work (he claimed on his Maliss/Evil*Twin deck page that Maliss locks you into Cyberse monsters when their SS from Banish effect activates, but everything I’ve read says they only lock your extra deck to Link monsters, and that’s only the main deck monsters that do so.)
Huh. I’m sorry for that, I dont know why I wrote that. Maybe I was too focused in teching in Transcode for that profile which does lock you… idk.
Either way, I do plan on covering Maliss again, I’m just waiting to see if they get new support in ALIN that points them in a specific direction!
As far as this build, I am not one to shy away from 60 cards, especially if each card offers something of value. It’s one of the things that sets me apart from most builders, as i value the techs you can include more than a strict adherence to a deck count. But glad you like the ratios here!
