CDP: Shinobird Transonic Spirits and Starry Knight with Sakitama, Five-Minute Testing

Two archetypes take advantage of our new yellow Spirit.

Build 1: Starry Knight, ft. Starring Knight and Sakitama, Five-Minute Testing

Build 2: Shinobird Transonic Spirits, ft. Choju of the Trillion Hands and Sakitama

Summaries:

Welcome to the first half of additional videos to continue my Five-Minute Testing series, this set centered around using the new Spirit Monster Sakitama (YGOrg Translation) to empower a variety of strategies. Today’s first FMT video focuses on the Starry Knight archetype, a set of LIGHT Fairies that aim to Special Summon their Level 7 LIGHT Dragon, Starry Night, Starry Dragon, from the hand. From Starry Night Rayel to Starry Night Balefire, consistency had never been the problem, but with the effect of Sakitama to return to hand after being tributed by either Starry Knight Astel or Starry Knight Orbitael, you will never run out of LIGHT resources to tribute again. The Ties of the Brethren bind these Holy Knights together for the Advent Ceremony!

Today’s second FMT video focuses on the most well-known Spirit archetype, the WIND Ritual Shinobird theme. Shinobaron Peacock and Shinobaroness Peacock headline this strategy, each bouncing up to 3 cards back to the hand when Ritual Summoned. If you happen to use Sakitama or Nikitama as a Tribute for their Ritual Summon, you also get additional advantage that should be enough to win the duel, especially when backed by Amano-Iwato, but Transonic Bird offers an alternative way to win the duel by Ritual Summoning either of these two during the opponent’s turn. This is also an option via your two Normal Traps, Stars Align across the Milky Way and Urgent Ritual Art. Prepare the Rites – your Shinobird deities await!
