The Photon\/Galaxy gameplan is simple – leverage LIGHT monsters to Xyz Summon R8NK and R4NK monsters, and leveraging those summons to win the duel. For example, it could already make <strong>Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy<\/strong> to negate a Spell, <strong>Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord<\/strong> to negate a monster, or <strong>Number C62: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon<\/strong> to win the duel. Now it has a new extension tool – <strong>Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon – Photon Howling<\/strong><em> (YGOrg Translation)<\/em> – to gain even more access to your Photon monsters by summoning one straight out of the deck… while also being able to negate all other face-up cards on the field.<\/p>\n<p>To get there, the theme is chalk-full of different ways of extending plays within the Main Deck. You have <strong>Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon<\/strong> and <strong>Photon Vanisher<\/strong> which can inherently summon from hand, you have <strong>Photon Delta Wing<\/strong> and <strong>Schwarzschild Infinity Dragon<\/strong> to summon from Deck, you have <strong>Photon Emperor<\/strong> or <strong>Galaxy Summoner<\/strong> to summon from GY… yeah, there are options alright. Then, with the help of the OG <strong>Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon<\/strong> itself, <strong>Galaxy Hundred<\/strong> can begin to strip options from your opponent’s Extra Deck, one summon at a time. Embrace the might of the Galaxy, with the new Photon boss!<\/p>\n<p><em>Q Note:<\/em> This CDP was unfortunately finished, recorded, and ready prior to the reveal of <strong>Galaxy Defense Robot Orbital 7<\/strong>, but that will give me a reason to cover an alternative variant in the future!<\/p>\n<h4>Provided Decklist:<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>Monsters:<br \/>\n1 Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Primal<br \/>\n2 Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon<br \/>\n3 Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon<br \/>\n1 Chaos Dragon Levianeer<br \/>\n1 Photon Emperor<br \/>\n1 Schwarzschild Infinity Dragon<br \/>\n3 Galaxy Soldier<br \/>\n1 Photon Vanisher<br \/>\n3 Photon Delta Wing<br \/>\n2 Galaxy Summoner<br \/>\n1 Galaxy War Drake<br \/>\n1 Galaxy Cleric<br \/>\n1 Photon Orbital<br \/>\n1 Photon Jumper<br \/>\n1 Kuriphoton<br \/>\n1 Astral Kuriboh<\/p>\n<p>Spells:<br \/>\n1 Numbers Last Hope<br \/>\n1 Seventh Tachyon<br \/>\n1 Photon Sanctuary<br \/>\n1 Triple Tactics Talent<br \/>\n2 Triple Tactics Thrust<br \/>\n1 Numeron Creation<br \/>\n1 Galaxy Expedition<br \/>\n1 Galaxy Trance<br \/>\n1 Galaxy Journey<br \/>\n3 Galaxy Hundred<br \/>\n1 Galaxy Zero<\/p>\n<p>Traps:<br \/>\n1 The Black Goat Laughs<br \/>\n1 Tachyon Transmigration<\/p>\n<p>Extra Deck:<br \/>\n1 Galaxy-Eyes Cipher X Dragon<br \/>\n1 Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Blade Dragon<br \/>\n1 Number S38: Titanic Galaxy<br \/>\n1 Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon – Photon Howling<br \/>\n1 Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon<br \/>\n1 Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon<br \/>\n1 Number C62: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon<br \/>\n1 Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon<br \/>\n1 Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy<br \/>\n1 Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon<br \/>\n1 Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord<br \/>\n1 Divine Golden Shadow Dragon Dragluxion<br \/>\n1 Galaxy Photon Dragon<br \/>\n1 Starliege Photon Blast Dragon<br \/>\n1 Galaxy-Eyes Solflare Dragon<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong>Note:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>This is continuing the style of Creative Deck Profile articles, designed to showcase a build through replays and an attached summary. <strong>If you wish to see a CDP for an archetype, theme, or strategy you love, feel free to private message me on the YGOrg Discord server, the comments section of any of my YouTube videos, or just post a comment in response to this article on our Facebook page or through the site with your ideas for me to keep under consideration!<\/strong> On most YGO-related communities my username is Quincymccoy, so feel free to reach out.
