Swordsoul 1 deck has been hyped since its release with the advertisement: Easy to play, Delicious - Nutritious - Cheap. However, it has gone through many ups and downs since then: Hype -> Suspected of being useless -> and now it is standing at Tier 3 thanks to its simplicity and stability despite all the criticism.
Swordsoul Gameplay Guide
Sections covered in this guide:
Introduce
Swordsoul is a deck that focuses on Synchro with Tokens as the main Tuner. They have very simple combos and are famous for being easy to play, but their power is no joke. Swordsoul in Duel Links currently has very strong Boss Monsters like Chixiao or Chengyi, in addition to the bosses, they can also access a large amount of Synchro level 8 and 10, diverse in setting up the endboard. However, they also have quite a few weaknesses that I will mention later.

Virtuous Bonds (Skill Card) (100%)
Virtuous Bonds (Skill Card)
ATK:

DEF:

You can only use this Skill's second effect once per turn. 1: At the beginning of the Duel, add 3 "Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon" to your Extra Deck. During this Duel, you cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters (excluding Special Summons from the Extra Deck), except for "Fallen of Albaz", cards that mention "Fallen of Albaz", or "Swordsoul" monsters. If your opponent has a card on their field or in their Graveyard, you can Normal Summon 1 monster during your Main Phase in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. 2: Reveal 1 "Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous" or 1 "The Iris Swordsoul" from your hand, then add 1 "Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous" or 1 "Swordsoul" card from your Deck to your hand.
Virtuous Bonds isn't a bad skill, it has its strengths and limitations which we'll go over now. In this duel, you can't normal summon or special summon monsters except Fallen of Albaz cards that mention it and Swordsoul monsters, which immediately means you can't play Tenyi cards .
You can skip this section if you don't care about Tenyi : " Tenyi cards are really important for Swordsoul , providing extra bodies, allowing you to start combos easier. A single Tenyi usually means just straight up summoning Shaman of the Tenyi , which unlocks the Swordsoul half of your deck, and we can't do that in DuelLinks now."If you reveal Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous , or The Iris Swordsoul, you get to add Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous , or 1 SwordSoul card from your deck to your hand for free once per turn (unlimited per duel), and if your opponent has a card on the field or in the graveyard, you get an extra normal summon, which all sounds pretty consistent. So, why doesn't it translate into a top tier deck?
This skill is also notable for what it doesn't have. It gives you extra normal summons and stuff, but it lacks something that a lot of skills now have in Duel Links , which is a turn two enabler.
If you're going later to try to bridge the gap between being first and last, the ability usually does something more to let you play through enemy disruption easier. Say it Swordsoul Blackout on your field and you could activate it the same turn it's set but it doesn't. And as it stands, an ability that only gives you +1 Card advantage in 2025 isn't enough to compete with the rest of the metagame.
You know, Blue-Eyes has a skill that lets them set Majesty with White Dragon when they go later. Um, this allows them to destroy up to three cards on the field at once. Swordsoul doesn't really have anything like that.
Main Deck Monsters
Incredible Ecclesia the Virtuous (x3)
LIGHT
4Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous
ATK:
1500
DEF:
1500
If your opponent controls more monsters than you do, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Special Summon "Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous" once per turn this way. You can only use each of the following effects of "Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous" once per turn. During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 "Swordsoul" monster or 1 "Fallen of Albaz" from your hand or Deck. During the End Phase, if a Fusion Monster(s) was sent to your GY this turn: Add this card from the GY to your hand.
x3 because it is the most useful Starter of the Deck and can also be combined with Skill to +1, we can quickly tribute this card to summon another Swordsoul card or a Fallen Of Albaz. This effect is Quick so it can be activated during the defensive burn turn, this can be considered a formidable Disruption when it can summon Albaz during the enemy's turn and I will talk about it in detail later.
If it's not your turn but yours, you can summon Mo Ye or Taia to start the combo. Ecclasia's Quick Eff can also dodge the enemy's disruption if they don't read it carefully.

The Iris Swordsoul (x3)
LIGHT
8The Iris Swordsoul
ATK:
2500
DEF:
2500
During the Main Phase, if a monster, whose effects are negated, is on the field (Quick Effect): You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If your opponent Special Summons a monster(s) (except during the Damage Step): You can activate 1 of these effects based on where it was Special Summoned from; ● Hand: Special Summon 1 monster from your hand. ● Deck: Draw 2 cards. ● Extra Deck: Destroy 1 of those monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck. You can only use each effect of "The Iris Swordsoul" once per turn.
Similar to Ecclesia, we can show this card in hand with Skill to search for any Swordsoul card or even Ecclesia itself. Although it has a star number of 8, the effect will make it very easy to summon, as long as there is a monster on the field with its effect disabled, we can summon Iris at any time. When on the field, depending on the type of monster the enemy specially summons from, we can activate this girl's effect (mainly just waiting until the enemy summons from Extra to destroy)
Swordsoul of Mo Ye (x3)
WATER
4Swordsoul of Mo Ye
ATK:
1700
DEF:
1800
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can reveal 1 "Swordsoul" card or 1 Wyrm monster in your hand; Special Summon 1 "Swordsoul Token" (Wyrm/Tuner/WATER/Level 4/ATK 0/DEF 0). While that Token is in the Monster Zone, the player who Summoned it cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, except Synchro Monsters. If this card is sent to the GY as Synchro Material: You can draw 1 card. You can only use each effect of "Swordsoul of Mo Ye" once per turn.
One of the best main starters of Archetype. We need another Swordsoul card in hand to activate her Token summoning ability, many people do not pay attention, sometimes leading to misplay and not having tokens to summon Synchro.
Mo Ye is the Swordsoul you'll want to see most often, as its Token spawn effect is the easiest way to get into your Level 8 Synchro plays, and also has the strongest GY effect of all the Swordsoul monsters. The combo of summoning Chixiao with Mo Ye will give you a very tasty +2 advantage. Never go with less than 3 copies.
Swordsoul of Taia (x2)
WIND
4Swordsoul of Taia
ATK:
1800
DEF:
1500
You can banish 1 "Swordsoul" card or 1 Wyrm monster from your GY; Special Summon 1 "Swordsoul Token" (Wyrm/Tuner/WATER/Level 4/ATK 0/DEF 0). While that Token is in the Monster Zone, the player who Summoned it cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, except Synchro Monsters. If this card is sent to the GY as Synchro Material: You can send 1 "Swordsoul" card or 1 Wyrm monster from your Deck to the GY. You can only use each effect of "Swordsoul of Taia" once per turn.
While less desirable as a draw card than any of your other cards, Taia is a good card and a potential trigger in play, especially since it can be searched (like anything in the Deck) and its special GY effect plays very well with The Golden Swordsoul's effect. Generally it can be 2 or 3 copies in the Main Deck to be able to Go full combo
Swordsoul Strategist Longyuan (x2)
FIRE
6Swordsoul Strategist Longyuan
ATK:
1200
DEF:
2300
You can discard 1 other "Swordsoul" card or 1 other Wyrm monster; Special Summon this card from your hand, then you can Special Summon 1 "Swordsoul Token" (Wyrm/Tuner/WATER/Level 4/ATK 0/DEF 0). While that Token is in the Monster Zone, the player who Summoned it cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, except Synchro Monsters. If this card is sent to the GY as Synchro Material: You can inflict 1200 damage to your opponent. You can only use each effect of "Swordsoul Strategist Longyuan" once per turn.
If Mo Ye is your most basic starter, then Longyuan is your most basic extender. The discard effect is basically pretty harmless since you're sending something with a GY effect or something that can be resummoned. That effect alone combined with Longyuan's level can summon a very simple Chenying.
The Golden Swordsoul (x1-2)
LIGHT
4The Golden Swordsoul
ATK:
1800
DEF:
1500
When a monster declares an attack: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, negate that attack, then, if you control a Fusion Monster that mentions "Fallen of Albaz" as material, you can destroy the monster that declared that attack. If a monster is banished face-up (except during the Damage Step): You can banish this card from your field or GY; Special Summon 1 LIGHT Spellcaster monster from your hand or GY whose ATK equals its own DEF. You can only use this effect of "The Golden Swordsoul" once per turn.
Although this card has a very good effect from the hand to block attacks, I don't really use this effect of this card very often. I usually try to send this card to the graveyard as quickly as possible to be able to activate its effect below. This will help us have 1 Ecclesia on the field during the opponent's turn, at that time Ecclesia will be a very potential disruption.
I think this x2 card is quite reasonable, 1 to block attacks, 1 to summon Ecclesia

Fallen of Albaz (x1)
DARK
4Fallen of Albaz
ATK:
1800
DEF:
0
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned (except during the Damage Step): You can discard 1 card; Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters on either field as Fusion Material, including this card, but you cannot use other monsters you control as Fusion Material. You can only use this effect of "Fallen of Albaz" once per turn.
Although Anh Ba is not his deck, thanks to his skill, he has a certain slot in the Deck. Albaz's effect is quite similar to Super Poly . When summoned, we can put 1 card in our hand into the grave and then pick up 1 enemy monster + with Albaz to summon Fusion (however, this can be negated).
- If the enemy has a monster from the Extra Deck (priority boss), we pick it up and summon Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon . If successful, Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon will give us 1 more quick banish turn equivalent to +2 Disruption (1 is picking up the enemy monster to Fusion, 2 is Mirrorjade's)
- If the enemy doesn't summon from Extra, we can temporarily pick up the enemy's boss with over 2500 ATK to summon Titaniklad the Ash Dragon.
- Or a cheaper option is Albion the Branded Dragon but it will only capture light type monsters.
Since Ba's effect is activated when summoned, we can use Ecclesia to summon him during the enemy's turn to pick up monsters, which I mentioned above.
Spell/Trap
Swordsoul Emergence (x3)
Spell
NormalSwordsoul Emergence
Add 1 "Swordsoul" monster from your Deck to your hand, or if you control a Synchro Monster, you can add 1 Wyrm monster instead. If this card is banished: You can target 1 "Swordsoul" monster, or Wyrm monster, you control; increase or decrease its Level by 1 until the end of this turn. You can only use each effect of "Swordsoul Emergence" once per turn.
This card is quite simple, it can search any Swordsoul monster in your Deck or if you control a Synchro Monster, it can search any Wyrm monster in the game (but due to Skill limit, I probably won't mix it with any Wyrm anymore)
A great starter with Mo Ye, a great extender with Longyuan ,... these are 3 very obvious duplicates in any Swordsoul build.
Swordsoul Sacred Summit (x1)
Spell
NormalSwordsoul Sacred Summit
Target 1 "Swordsoul" monster in your GY, or if you control a Synchro Monster, you can target 1 Wyrm monster instead; Special Summon it. If this card is banished: You can target 1 "Swordsoul" monster, or Wyrm monster, you control; increase or decrease its Level by 1 until the end of this turn. You can only use each effect of "Swordsoul Sacred Summit" once per turn.
Swordsoul is the only card outside of the cores that many people will consider using. Being a searchable recycle itself makes it quite good, but many people ignore this and consider it not a big priority.
I often use this card to play Synchro turns up to 3 times. When Synchro reaches the 3rd time, we must use it to revive a Starter card like Taia or Mo ye to continue.

Swordsoul Blackout (x1-2)
Trap
NormalSwordsoul Blackout
Target 1 Wyrm monster you control and 2 cards your opponent controls; destroy them. If this card is banished: You can Special Summon 1 "Swordsoul Token" (Wyrm/Tuner/WATER/Level 4/ATK 0/DEF 0). While that Token is in the Monster Zone, the player who Summoned it cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, except Synchro Monsters. You can only use each effect of "Swordsoul Blackout" once per turn.
Considered an Icarus Attack of the archetype, due to its ease of access it is almost always used with only 1 copy in-game.
Having to destroy its entire Wyrm monster is hardly a problem since we can easily choose Tokens or Chengying (since he has the ability to protect himself from being destroyed), so I really find this trap card very good, so x2.

Staple/Tech
Spell
QuickBook of Eclipse
Change all face-up monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position. During the End Phase of this turn, change as many face-down Defense Position monsters your opponent controls as possible to face-up Defense Position, then your opponent draws cards equal to the number of monsters changed face-up by this effect.
WIND

ATK:

If a card(s) is added from the Main Deck to your opponent's hand, except during the Draw Phase (Quick Effect): You can send this card from your hand to the GY; for the rest of this turn, cards cannot be added from either player's Main Deck to the hand.
LIGHT
1Effect Veiler
ATK:

DEF:

During your opponent's Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can send this card from your hand to the GY, then target 1 Effect Monster your opponent controls; negate the effects of that face-up monster your opponent controls, until the end of this turn.
Spell
QuickForbidden Droplet
Send any number of other cards from your hand and/or field to the GY; choose that many Effect Monsters your opponent controls, and until the end of this turn, their ATK is halved, also their effects are negated. In response to this card's activation, your opponent cannot activate cards, or the effects of cards, with the same original type (Monster/Spell/Trap) as the cards sent to the GY to activate this card. You can only activate 1 "Forbidden Droplet" per turn.
Trap
NormalInfinite Impermanence
Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; negate its effects (until the end of this turn), then, if this card was Set before activation and is on the field at resolution, for the rest of this turn all other Spell/Trap effects in this column are negated. If you control no cards, you can activate this card from your hand.
Extra Deck
Swordsoul Grandmaster - Chixiao (x2)
LIGHT
8Swordsoul Grandmaster - Chixiao
ATK:
2800
DEF:
1000
1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner Wyrm monsters If this card is Synchro Summoned: You can add to your hand or banish 1 "Swordsoul" card from your Deck. (Quick Effect): You can banish 1 "Swordsoul" card or 1 Wyrm monster from your hand or GY, then target 1 other Effect Monster on the field; negate its effects until the end of this turn. You can only use 1 "Swordsoul Grandmaster - Chixiao" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
When it comes to Swordsoul, this is the Extra Deck card that NEEDS to be created. Thanks to Swordsoul Emergence (if not already used), Chixiao can search for any Swordsoul OR Wyrm Monster in the game when summoned. The latter effect is a relatively free form of disruption to the deck and cannot be chain-blocked, as it does not need to respond directly to activations but rather choose a target to negate. Remember that you can only use one Chixiao effect per turn .
Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying (x2)
WATER
10Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying
ATK:
3000
DEF:
3000
1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters For each banished card, this card gains 100 ATK/DEF and monsters your opponent controls lose 100 ATK/DEF. If this card would be destroyed by card effect, you can banish 1 card from your GY instead. If a card(s) is banished (except during the Damage Step): You can banish 1 card each from both your opponent's field and GY. You can only use this effect of "Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying" once per turn.
Chengying is the biggest Boss in the Deck. At level 10 Synchro, it outshines even Baronne de Fleur , its good protection, powerful banishment effect (even if it's not always the easiest to use), and its stat manipulation effect that can get pretty big in the late game make for a great card overall.
Draco Berserker of the Tenyi (x1)
DARK
8Draco Berserker of the Tenyi
ATK:
3000
DEF:
0
1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters When your opponent activates a monster's effect (Quick Effect): You can banish it. If this attacking card destroys an Effect Monster by battle and sends it to the GY: This card gains ATK equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK, also it can make a second attack on a monster during this Battle Phase. You can only use each effect of "Draco Berserker of the Tenyi" once per turn.
Draco Berserker proves its worth with Swordsoul, a level 8 Wyrm with an effect that makes it a pretty good card to pair with Chengying and as part of Endboard. The latter effect makes it a ton of damage while also being very high ATK and hard to overcome.
Baxia Brightness of the Yang Zing (x1)
LIGHT
8Baxia, Brightness of the Yang Zing
ATK:
2300
DEF:
2600
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Wyrm-Type monsters When this card is Synchro Summoned: You can target cards on the field, up to the number of different original Attributes of the Wyrm-Type monsters used for the Synchro Summon of this card; shuffle them into the Deck. Once per turn: You can target 1 card you control and 1 Level 4 or lower monster in your Graveyard; destroy that card on the field, and if you do, Special Summon that other monster from the Graveyard.
One of your main forms of removal, for both monsters and backrow. It can rarely act as a next-turn extender/extended play by destroying itself (or any of your other cards) to revive monsters in the GY,
This resurrection ability is often used in conjunction with Taia's GY effect, allowing you to Summon any level 4 or lower Beast Monster from your Deck.
Adamancipator Risen - Dragite (x1)
WATER
8Adamancipator Risen - Dragite
ATK:
3000
DEF:
2200
1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters During your Main Phase: You can excavate the top 5 cards of your Deck, and if you do, you can return cards your opponent controls to the hand, up to the number of excavated Rock monsters, also place the excavated cards on the bottom of your Deck in any order. When your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card or effect, while a WATER monster is in your GY (Quick Effect): You can negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it. You can only use each effect of "Adamancipator Risen - Dragite" once per turn.
Because Water has Mo Ye, there's a 99% chance we'll be able to use this card's Negate Spell/Trap effect. Quite useful as one of the cards to set up Endboard.
Albion the Branded Dragon and Titaniklad the Ash Dragon (x1)
DARK
8Albion the Branded Dragon
ATK:
2500
DEF:
2000
"Fallen of Albaz" + 1 LIGHT monster If this card is Fusion Summoned: You can Fusion Summon 1 Level 8 or lower Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, except "Albion the Branded Dragon", by banishing Fusion Materials mentioned on it from your hand, field, and/or GY. During the End Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was sent there this turn: You can add to your hand or Set 1 "Branded" Spell/Trap directly from your Deck. You can only use each effect of "Albion the Branded Dragon" once per turn.
DARK
8Titaniklad the Ash Dragon
ATK:
2500
DEF:
2500
"Fallen of Albaz" + 1 monster with 2500 or more ATK Gains ATK equal to the combined original Levels of the monsters used for its Fusion Summon x 100. After this card is Fusion Summoned, for the rest of this turn, it is unaffected by the activated effects of any other monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck. During the End Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was sent there this turn: You can add to your hand, or Special Summon, 1 "Fallen of Albaz" or "Dogmatika" monster from your Deck. You can only use this effect of "Titaniklad the Ash Dragon" once per turn.
As mentioned in the Ba part, these guys are mainly to pick up enemy monsters, Fusion.
Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon (x0)
DARK
8Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon
ATK:
3000
DEF:
2500
"Fallen of Albaz" + 1 Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monster You can only control 1 "Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon". Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can send 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to the GY that mentions "Fallen of Albaz" as material; banish 1 monster on the field, also this card cannot use this effect next turn. If this Fusion Summoned card in its owner's control leaves the field because of an opponent's card: You can destroy all monsters your opponent controls during the End Phase of this turn.
This card will give us X3 in the Extra Deck thanks to Skill. It has a very strong quick banish effect on a monster on the field. If it goes with Chengyi, the enemy's field will likely fly to the Banish zone.
