Deck Guide: A Playing Image Based Around The New Cards
First of all, let’s check the playing guide, based on the image of combos centered around the new cards!
Aim To Win By Using Tributes And Traps!!
This Deck’s fundamental strategy is using cards and effects to Tribute your DARK Monsters to Special Summon your ace card, “Darkest Diabolos, Lord of the Lair”. This Deck contains many Trap Cards, which means you can Set Normal Trap Cards directly from your Deck with the effect of “Lilith, lady of Lament”. And by using “Lair of Darkness”, which can Tribute 1 monster your opponent controls instead of your own, you can Tribute your opponent’s ace monster to activate powerful Trap Cards such as the various named “Virus” cards.
