Strategic Summary:
Today's CDP features the return of Joey's Dark Time Wizard strategy to my channel, and this time it's empowered with even more fun tricks! First up, Dark Time Wizard itself is core to the strategy, offering you the ability to search any card that mentions it, or flip a coin to attempt to destroy all monsters your opponent controls. Regardless, this theme has received attention as even if you fail the coin toss, you still can Special Summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed from the Extra Deck, Tributing a monster on either player's field! Now this theme had a solid 1st wave in Beyond the Brave, but they've also gotten two impressive follow-up support cards in Invincible Rocket Warrior (YGOrg Translation) and The Legendary Insect Queen (YGOrg Translation).Starting with Rocket, this Level 4 LIGHT Warrior can send any S/T that mentioned Dark Time Wizard from the Deck to the GY to Special Summon itself, plus it searches any Level 4 Warrior whenever it declares an attack. While of course you can grab the in-theme Fisherman of Legend, I prefer to access Gearfried the Steel Knight (YGOrg Translation) this way, as if Rocket Warrior fell in battle, Gearfried can Special Summon itself, equip that Rocket Warrior as an Equip Card, then during your Main Phase 2, destroy that Rocket Warrior to tutor any LIGHT/Warrior. In here, I've included Chaos End Ruler - Ruler of the Beginning and the End (YGOrg Translation), which can simply end duels by banishing all cards from your opponent's field and GY before burning them, and Gilford the Lightning, the Warrior of Thunderbolts (YGOrg Translation), which can force the opponent to send all monsters they control to the GY. The second new in-theme monster, The Legendary Insect Queen, is the recovery this deck needed, as it can be summoned by tributing any 2 monsters that mention Dark Time Wizard - or Tokens off of Sleepy Scapegoats - and recover 2 cards that mention Dark Time Wizard from your GY or Banishment. Either way, there's plenty of opportunity to flip the script at the drop of a hat!
In addition to all of this Time Wizard madness, I've also included a condensed Yubel engine in the deck, giving it even more of an affinity for closing out duels and forcing the opponent to play differently. You see, Nightmare Throne is a 1.5 card combo into both a Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket and a Phantom of Yubel, and even if you don't open Throne, you still have plenty of plays you can access such as attacking into your opponent's monster while Nightmare Pain is on the board. This also doesn't conflict all too much with the Dark Time Wizard engine, plus the extra burn damage from the unexpected drop of Yubel - The Loving Defender Forever can seal a duel if Dark Time Wizard itself couldn't do the trick!
