Deck Concept

“Labyrinth Wall” can be added from the Deck to the hand with the effect of “Gallant Granite”, and then when the Battle Phase begins, it can be Tribute Summoned with “Supermagic Sword of Raptinus”.

Tribute “Labyrinth Wall” and “Magical Labyrinth” to Special Summon “Wall Shadow” from the Deck, and since it’s a Warrior with a huge DEF score, you can equip it with “Magnum Shield” to grant it a huge TK score.

And by changing its position during the End Phase with the effect of “Labyrinth of nightmare”, you can grant it huge DEF during the opponent’s turn.

Since you fight using Equip Spell Cards, this Deck adds in “Infernoble Knight” who work well with those Equip Spells since they’re also Warriors.
