Notes & Combos
Floodgate-free Argostars, all the way from Plat 5 to Master 5.
Super fun deck, more fun and much stronger than what I had heard before release, though of course hardly a meta contender. This is a grindy deck that can create a lot of disruption thanks to the large amount of non-once per turn effects. The Argostars cards synergise very well with Silhouhatte Rabbit, Anguish Pattern and Apophis, the traps likewise being non-OPT.
Pros: Very fun, lots of interaction, large variety of effects, many of which are non-once per turn that reward sequencing them properly.
Cons: A single handtrap on Adra can be devastating. Cards like Feather Duster completely kill the deck if you don't have Apophis. Red Reboot kills it no matter what. Conditional effects (Eteo requires a banished Argostars monster to bounce, Tydeu requires a discard, Capane requires another trap monster etc.) can be frustrating with some hands. Going second can be rough if they have a way to pop your traps after you set them.
The ratios are not super set in stone, you could play one Capane and make room for something else etc.
The only extra deck cards you really need are M-X Saber Invoker and Silhouhatte Rabbit. You can play without the Speedroids and Invoker as well if you don't have the crafting points, they're mainly consistency tools to get into Adra where Silhouhatte gives you a vital search.
Link Spider and Imduk are very useful for turning Apophis into an Effect Monster, Goddess can be a lifesaver, S:P and TY-PHON are solid generic cards and sometimes all you can do is Bagooska. The duplicates are there for Extrav, the rest I barely ever summoned.
Usual turn is something like:
- Summon Adra, either by normal or Terrortop into M-X Saber Invoker
- Activate Adra's effect, set Tydeu and Capane
- Summon Tydeu, search field spell (or Eteo or whatever else if you already have it)
- Activate field spell
- Summon Capane
- Summon Silhouhatte Rabbit, set Apophis
- Activate field spell to retrieve Capane or Tydeu depending on if you have a discard in hand
- Set whatever else you have in hand
