Went from Diamond to Master with this rogue deck. My main goal was to make this deck as powerful as possible, so I removed some fun options, like the Dark Guardian and other Gate Guardian archetype support cards. I also had kept Horus to minimum to avoid bricks.

Another month of rogue and another rough time on the ladder. This time my eyes were set on gate guardian as I rarely play fusions even though being one of my favorite summoning mechanics. Originally played a 60 card deck with more handtraps but decided to drop to 50 for more consistency especially with the help of the horus engine. Although our turn 2 can be non-existent at times our turn 1 can be quite deadly. Any deck that it is not tenpai we can set up apollousa with 3 negates and gate guardian of wind and water for double spell/trap negate with ease. We can also make masq to go into little knight or a xyz monster if we have the extra horus monsters on the field.

If we are playing against tenpai then our main goal is summoning what was a very underwhelming boss monster to a absolute unit of a tank. Summoning dark guardian with dark element has won me alot of duels against tenpai players cause they refuse to read the card effects fully.(Typing this out now I realize alot of players just refuse to read any of the gate guardian cards fully so feel free to abuse that.) With dark guardian on the field not only can it not be destroyed by battle but your opponent's spell and monster effects are useless on it. Still loses to a single imperm so not that invincible but alot of times I was able to stall duels before they were able to get imperm or they wasted imperm on something else before dark guardian was summon so they may be out of imperms for their turn. If you can't summon dark guardian then making photon lord and searching kuriphoton is plan b.

And with that that is a quick summary of the gate guardian deck. Overall a ok deck that needs more support cause playing kazejin, suijin, and sanga of the thunder are just bricks so having support cards that make having those cards in your hand less problematic would be the right way to go.

Latest Vod has me explaining the deck in more detail for those interested.

The vod before that has the actual gameplay. Do keep in mind that was a 60 card version but still made it high in the ladder.

I really enjoy playing this deck as the Gate Guardian cards can offer much needed negates that Kashtira are missing. I keep forgetting that you want to make sure you have done all the Gate Guardian plays before finishing the Kashtira plays as Theosis and Riseheart both lock you into XYZs from that point on. I chose to play links in mine to give some extra use to the magician souls and after a rather frustrating duel vs a Scareclaw Triheart

Other cards I played during the Duelist Cup, both Main Deck and Extra Deck:

\n
Gate Guardian of Thunder and Wind: Useful for grabbing the field spell or double attack for the pop
\n
\n
Chengying: Good synergy with the Contact fusion of the Gate Guardians. Take either this or Baronne, whichever you prefer or have
\n
\n
Red Eyes Flare Metal Dragon: Burn Damage, not much to say
\n
\n
Fusion Deployment: Good for the Gate Guardian side but really hurts the Kashtira side. Fusion Conscription may be a better option as it doesnt lock you into fusions only.
\n
\n
Infinitrack Goliath: By Banishing it with Pot of P, your Ariseheart can pick it up for the extra protection

For some replays, ID: 238-355-960 (some may be mostly Kash over GG but thats the way this deck goes sometimes):

Name I can't write: Branded Tearlament
Ryguy: Vanquish Soul
Galactic Lord: Scareclaw (The reason I added Unicorn)
Portukulo: Purrely (shouldve been ended turn 2 but I sent Birth with Magician Souls)
Wellbr: Kashtira (Shouldve been over turn 3 by using Magician Souls to send Kazejin to the GY to fuse into Gate Guardian Combined)
