Introduce

Vampire is known for its familiar gameplay of using Kingdom to destroy opponents' cards and using xyz monsters to win. In this article, I will introduce the ways to play and the combination of Vampire with synchro monsters through a tuner monster called Plaguespreader .

Vampires

Vampire Familiar (Core)

Special summons itself from the grave.
Add 1 Vampire monster to your hand when special summoned.

Vampire Retainer (Core)

Special summons itself from the grave.
Take 1 spell, trap Vampire to hand when special summoned.

Vampire Sorcerer (Core)

Vampire monster level 4.
Helps Vampire monsters to be summoned without sacrificing.

Vampire's Domain (Core)

Helps you normal summon 1 more Vampire monster.

Vampire's Desire (Core)

Change monster level.
Summon Vampire again from the grave.

Vampire Awakening (Core)

Summon 1 Vampire monster from your deck.

Tuner beast

Plaguespreader Zombie (Main tuner of the deck)

(first)

If this card is in your GY : You can place 1 card from your hand on the top of the Deck ; Special Summon this card , but banish it when it leaves the field .

Plaguespreader Zombie is a zombie tuner monster that can be played with Vampires.

This monster can be sent from the deck to the grave with Gozuki , Samurai Skull , or summoned directly from the deck with the Monstermorph: Evolution skill.
With the summoning effect from the grave having an unlimited number of uses, you can take advantage of this to summon many synchro and xyz monsters from the extra deck in 1 turn.
To summon this monster from the grave, you need to return a card from your hand to the top deck. If summoned this way Plaguespreader will be removed if it leaves the field.
Using Vampire's Desire helps you flexibly adjust the level of monsters when summoning synchro.
You can use Plaguespreader and Retainer to summon xyz, this way both monsters will not be removed after using slack's effect and you can continue your combo with Plaguespreader .

Other support

Samurai Skull and Gozuki (Support)

Both monsters let you send 1 Zombie monster from your deck to the Graveyard.
Level 4 synchro material and zombie monster.
You will use the normal summon per turn on these monsters.

Vampire Synchro

Sample deck

Need 11 UR

Main: 28 Extra: 7

Samurai Destroyer : Prevents your opponent from using effects when this card attacks.
Cthuga : When used as xyz material, you will gain extra cards.
Scrap Dragon : Shoots cards on the field.

Samurai Skull and Gozuki (Simple combos)

Cards in hand: 1 Gozuki or Samurai Skull , 1 random card.

Use Gozuki or Samurai Skull to send Plaguespreader Zombies from the deck to the grave.
Then recall Plaguespreader from the grave by returning 1 card from your hand to the top of the pile.
Synchro summon using Plaguespreader along with Gozuki to create Coral Dragon .

Since Coral Dragon is a tuner monster, you don't need to worry too much about Plaguespreader being removed. Coral Dragon can be used with Retainer as a material to create a synchro 8 boss in your extra deck ( Shogunsaga ).

Vampire's Desire can flexibly change the monster's level to help you summon synchro more easily.

Shiranui Shogunsaga and Cyber Slash Harpie Lady (Boss)

Cyber Slash Harpie Lady

1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters

For this card's Synchro Summon, you can treat 1 "Harpie" monster you control as a Tuner.

(1)

This card's name becomes "Harpie Lady" while on the field or in the GY.

(2)

When a Spell/Trap Card or effect is activated (Quick Effect): You can target 1 monster your opponent controls or 1 "Harpie" monster you control; return it to the hand.

You can only use this effect of "Cyber Slash Harpie Lady" once per turn.

Đây là một quái thú gây nhiều khó chịu cho đối thủ khi nó có thể đẩy quái thú của họ lên tay và làm gián đoạn combo.

Shogunsaga

1 Zombie-Type Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Zombie-Type monsters

(1)

If this card is Special Summoned: You can banish 1 Zombie-Type monster from your Graveyard; this card gains ATK equal to the banished monster's original ATK, until the end of this turn.

(2)

If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 of your banished Zombie-Type monsters with 0 DEF; return it to the Graveyard.

You can only Special Summon "Shiranui Shogunsaga(s)" once per turn.

Hiệu ứng (2) của Shogunsaga giúp bạn đưa được Familiar, Retainer đã bị loại bỏ trở lại mộ để chúng tiếp tục được triệu hồi và lấy thêm bài trong những lượt tới.

Với ATK gốc là 3000, cộng thêm từ hiệu ứng (1) bằng cách trục xuất các boss không còn tác dụng của Vampire, Shogunsaga có thể dễ dàng otk ngay đối phương trong 1 đòn đánh.

Ancient Fairy Dragon (Support)

1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters

(first)

Once per turn: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your hand . You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect.

(2)

Once per turn: You can destroy as many Field Spells on the field as possible , and if you do, gaining 1000 LP , then you can add 1 Field Spell from your Deck to your hand .

Ancient Fairy Dragon allows you to special summon a level 4 monster from your hand, in exchange you will lose the battle phase of that turn. Using this effect summons Familiar and Retainer to add more Vampire cards to your hand.

Summoned monsters using effects can also be used as synchro, xyz materials or used to sacrifice to Vampires to help you set up a strong field, so you cannot perform the battle phase during the turn. That's completely reasonable.

Effect (2) can help you replace another Kingdom from the deck. In one turn, each different copy of Kingdom will have an effect activated. Using this effect with Duke (unlimited number of times using the effect per turn), you can shoot up to 2 opponent's cards. and 1 field spell card of the opponent (if any). In addition, lp recovery effects are also essential for the Vampire deck to help you maintain a stable amount of lp to activate other effects.

Vampire ft. Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon

Refer to the deck here .

Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon and Doomkaiser Dragon (Win condition)

Doomkaiser Dragon

"Plaguespreader Zombie" + 1 or more non-Tuner Zombie-Type monsters

Vampire - Chronicle

Refer to the deck here .

Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon (Big Boss)

1 Tuner Synchro Monster + 1+ non-Tuner Synchro Monsters

Must be Synchro Summoned.

(first)

Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can banish 1 Synchro Monster from your GY ; this card is unaffected by other cards' effects for the rest of this turn .

(2)

If this card in its owner's possession is destroyed by an opponent's card (by battle or card effect): You can target 1 of your banished Dragon Synchro Monsters; Special Summon it .

Stardust Chronicle has the effect of protecting yourself from the effects of other cards by banishing a synchro monster from the graveyard. With an attack power of 3000, this monster will make it very difficult for opponents to face. In exchange for this power, Stardust Chronicle is difficult to summon (all materials are synchro monsters) and can only be synchro summoned.

The opponent is forced to use monsters with attack power greater than 3000 to attack Stardust Chronicle and loses the opportunity to attack the player. Furthermore, when Stardust Chronicle is destroyed by your opponent, you can summon a discarded synchro dragon monster to the field, making it even more difficult for your opponent to finish the game.

Coral Dragon and Tatsunecro (Other tuner monsters)

Tatsunecro

(first)

If this Normal Summoned/Set monster would be used as Synchro Material, 1 monster in your hand can be used as 1 of the other materials. If you do this, all materials for that Summon are banned instead of being sent to the GY.

(2)

You cannot Special Summon monsters, except Zombie monsters.

Coral Dragon

1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters

(first)

Once per turn: You can discard 1 card, then target 1 card of your opponent's controls; destroy it.

(2)

If this Synchro Summoned card is sent from the field to the GY: You can draw 1 card. You can only use this effect of "Coral Dragon" once per turn.

Tatsunecro is a level 3 tuner that can use a monster in hand to synchro summon other zombie monsters. Note that you can only special summon zombie monsters when Tatsunecro is on the field.

Coral Dragon is a synchro tuner monster that is easy to summon and has the ability to bombard your opponent's cards. Coral Dragon is also a suitable target for both effects of Stardust Chronicle .

Vampire Sorcerer (Important piece of the puzzle)

You need to play 1 Sorcerer in the deck in combos that need level 4 monsters as synchro materials.

Socerer can be added from the deck to the hand with Familiar and during the turn you can normally summon up to 2 additional monsters thanks to the effect of Vampire's Domain .

Plaguespreader Zombie and Vampire Retainer (Use skills)

Skill: Monstermorph: Evolution

Can be used each time your Life Point decreases by 1500.

Send a monster (except a Token) on your side of the field to the Graveyard.

Then, randomly play a monster that is the same Attribute and Type as the monster you sent to the Graveyard, but is 1 Level higher from your Deck ( the monster must be able to be Normal Summoned .)

This Skill can only be used once per turn .

To get to Stardust Chronicle faster, you can rely on support skills. With the Monstermorph: Evolution skill, you can easily call out your main monster in 1 turn.

Skill allows you to send 1 monster on your side of the field to the Graveyard and then summon a monster of the same type and attribute but with a level 1 higher. Skill can only activate once per turn and each time you lose 1500 lp.

Vampire cards with effects that pay lp to activate effects ( Familiar, Retainer, Vampire's Domain ) can help you easily meet the skill activation conditions in just turn 1.

Use the skill to summon Plaguespreader directly from the deck by sending Familiar from the field to the grave. Plaguespreader helps you call up to 2 synchro monsters thanks to this card's ability to summon from the grave. Because the monster summoned by the skill is completely random, you need to reduce the number of Retainers to 1 and should not play any zombie, DARK, level 2 monsters in the deck to ensure that Plaguespreader will be summon.

Tatsunecro and Samurai Skull can also be special summoned from the deck using this skill.

Level 4 Synchro monsters

You need to play a level 4 synchro monster (not a tuner) for the Stardust Chronicle summon combo. This monster will work with Coral Dragon (level 6) as a material to summon Stardust Chronicle (level 10).

Old Entity Hastorr

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters

(first)

If this card is sent from the Monster Zone to the Graveyard: You can target 1 face-up monster on your opponent's controls; equip this card from your Graveyard to that monster. That monster cannot attack, also its effects are negated.

(2)

If this card leaves the field while equipped to an opponent's monster by this effect: Take control of the monster this card was equipped to.

Hastorr is a strong monster for combos. Besides being a synchro material, when Hastorr is sent to the grave, this monster can negate the effects of an opponent's monster and make that monster unable to attack.

Continue doing the same steps as the combo above and you will have the same result: 1 Chronicle on the field and plus 1 card in hand (drawn thanks to Coral Dragon ).

Coral Dragon (Key)

Stardust Chronicle 's summoning conditions are synchro monsters. So when you combo out this monster, you need to focus on summoning Coral Dragon (synchro tuner level 6) and Hastorr (synchro level 4).

Simply put, you need to get 3 monsters on the field: Plaguespreader (use skill), 1 level 4 monster (normal summon or use Vampire's Desire ), 1 level 2 monster ( Retainer ).

To summon Coral Dragon and Hastorr, you need to find a way to summon Plaguespreader with the skill Mostermorph: Evolution .

Use skill summon Plaguespreader to tune the 1st time to create a synchro monster, then use Plaguespreader 's grave effect to revive it and synchro summon a second monster.

Shiranui Sunsaga (Big Boss)

1 Zombie Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner Zombie monsters

(first)

If this card is Special Summoned: You can return any number of your Zombie Synchro Monsters, that are banished or are in your GY, to the Extra Deck , then you can destroy cards your opponent controls, equal to the number of cards returned .

(2)

If a Zombie monster(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect , you can banish 1 "Shiranui" monster from your GY instead .

You can only Special Summon "Shiranui Sunsaga(s)" once per turn.

Sunsaga has the ability to destroy your opponent's untargeted cards by returning your synchro zombie monsters in the graveyard or being discarded to your extra deck . With 3500 ATK, Sunsaga is a boss that can otk opponents easily.

Additionally, Sunsaga can protect itself from destruction by removing the Shiranui monster from the grave.

Shiranui Samuraisaga and Shiranui Shogunsaga (Other Shiranui monsters)

Samuraisaga

1 Zombie-Type Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Zombie-Type monsters

(first)

Once per turn, during either player's turn : You can target 1 of your banished Zombie-Type monsters ; shuffle it into the Deck , and if you do, change to Defense Position all monsters your opponent controls with ATK less than or equal to that monster's .

(2)

If this card is banished: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; it loses 500 ATK.

You can only Special Summon "Shiranui Samuraisaga(s)" once per turn.

Samuraisaga has the effect of preventing charging attacks from the opponent by switching their monster to defense position. The condition to use this effect is that you must have 1 zombie monster being removed with ATK higher or equal to the opponent's monster.

Tatsunecro can use Red Baron from his hand as material without having to summon Red Baron to the field. Tatsunecro will banish the Red Baron (2400 ATK) from his hand and prey on Samuraisaga . Use Vampire's Desire to flexibly change Tatsunecro 's level during synchro summoning.

Sometimes switching the opponent's monster's attack position is not the main purpose of Samuraisaga . The monsters that start the combo will often have low ATK. Take advantage of this to use Samuraisaga 's effect to return Familiar, Retainer, and Plaguspreader back to the deck to help you have more resources to play in the following turns.

Shogunsaga

1 Zombie-Type Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Zombie-Type monsters

(first)

If this card is Special Summoned : You can banish 1 Zombie-Type monster from your Graveyard ; this card gains ATK equal to the banished monster's original ATK, until the end of this turn.

(2)

If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard : You can target 1 of your banished Zombie-Type monsters with 0 DEF ; return it to the Graveyard .

You can only Special Summon "Shiranui Shogunsaga(s)" once per turn.

When Shogunsaga is summoned, you can remove a zombie monster from the Graveyard to have this monster gain ATK equal to the ATK of the removed monster. When destroyed, Shogusaga helps you return other Shiranui monsters, or monsters like Familiar, Retainer, Samurai Skull so you can continue performing combos.

Plaguespreader is a monster best suited to summon Shiranui monsters:

Combine with Gozuki, Samurai Skull, Sorcerer to summon Samuraisaga .
Combine with Samuraisaga and Red Baron to summon Shogunsaga .
Combine with Shogunsaga to summon Sunsaga .

When summoning Shogunsaga , you can remove Samuraisaga from the grave, Shogunsaga 's ATK increasing effect will sometimes not be important because you will use Shogunsaga as a material immediately after, the main purpose is that you can reduce 500 of Shogunsaga's ATK. 1 opponent's monster gains Samuraisaga 's effect when removed.

Your Sunsaga can shoot up to 2 opponent's cards if you continuously summon Samuraisaga and Shogunsaga .

Gozuki and Vampire Familiar (Combo of 2 cards)

Cards in hand: 1 Gozuki (or Samurai Skull ) and 1 Familiar .

Normal Summon Gozuki , using Gozuki 's effect, sending Retainer from the deck to the grave.
Send Familiar from hand to grave to summon Retaner from grave. When Retainer is summoned, pay 500 lp and add Vampire's Domain from your deck to your hand.
Activate and pay 500 lp to use the effect of Vampire's Domain .
Send Vampire's Domain from the field to your grave to summon Familiar from your grave. Continue paying 500 lp, Familiar will help you get 1 more Vampire monster from the deck.
Use the Monstermorph: Evolution skill to send Familiar to the grave to summon Plaguespreader from the deck.
Synchro summon Samuraisaga (using Plaguespreader and Gozuki ).
Return 1 card from hand to deck to summon Plaguespreader from the Graveyard.
On the field you have 3 monsters Plaguespreader (zombie tuner level 2), Samuraisaga (zombie level 6) and Retainer (zombie level 2). Use these 3 monsters to summon Sunsaga from the extra deck, ending the combo.

Sunsaga, when summoned, can shoot 1 opponent's card thanks to effect (1) (returns Samuraisaga from the grave to the extra deck). You still have 1 normal summon to a Vampire monster thanks to the effect of Vampire's Domain . This is a combo that when following helps you otk the opponent very easily.

Shiranui Samuraisaga, Shiranui Shogunsaga and Shiranui Sunsaga (Key)

With the Shiranui monster strategy, you need to note that the material monsters must be Zombies.

Samuraisaga is the easiest monster to summon, requiring only 1.5 cards ( Gozuki or Samurai Skull and 1 random card).

Shiranui synchro monsters can also serve as synchro materials for higher level Shiranui (they are all 2 levels higher than each other and equal to Plaguespreader 's level).

Crystron Quariongandrax (Big Boss)

2 or more Tuners + 1 non-Tuner monster

(first)

If this card is Synchro Summoned: You can target monsters your opponent controls and/or in their Graveyard, up to the number of Synchro Materials used for the Synchro Summon of this card ; banish them .

(2)

If this Synchro Summoned card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can target 1 banished monster, except this card ; Special Summon it to your field .

Quariongandrax can banish up to 3 or more monsters from the field, from the opponent's grave when synchro summoned. This effect will make it very difficult for your opponent when you can remove all monsters on their field or banish cards from the grave, making them unable to use some effects.

This is also a synchro monster with difficult summoning conditions besides Stardust Chronicle .

When destroyed, Quariongandrax helps you summon a discarded monster (even your opponent's).

Vampire's Desire and Gozuki (Combo of 2.75 cards)

Cards in hand: 1 Gozuki (or Samurai Skull ), 1 Vampire's Desire and 1 random Vampire card.

Normal Summon Gozuki , using Gozuki 's effect, sending Retainer from the deck to the grave.
Send 1 Vampire card from your hand to the Graveyard (other than Vampire's Desire ) to summon Retaner from the Graveyard. When Retainer is summoned, pay 500 lp and add Vampire's Domain from your deck to your hand.
Activate and pay 500 lp to use the effect of Vampire's Domain .
Activate Vampire's Desire , target Retainer , send Familiar from deck to grave, Retainer 's level becomes 1.
Send Vampire's Domain from the field to your grave to summon Familiar from your grave. Continue paying 500 lp, Familiar will help you get 1 more Vampire monster from the deck.
Use the Monstermorph: Evolution skill to send Familiar to the grave to summon Plaguespreader from the deck.
Synchro summon Coral Dragon (using Plaguespreader and Gozuki ).
Return 1 card from hand to deck to summon Plaguespreader from the Graveyard.
Use 3 monsters on the field: Plaguespreader (tuner level 2), Coral Dragon (tuner level 6), Retainer (non-tuner level 1) to synchro summon Quariongandrax , ending the combo.

Quariongandrax, when summoned, can eliminate up to 3 monsters on the field or in the opponent's grave. You can draw 1 additional card thanks to Coral Dragon 's effect. You have not used the Vampire's Domain summon yet.

Vampire Vamp and Shiranui Spectralsword (Tip)

Sorcerer

(first)

If this card in your possession is sent to your GY by your opponent's card: You can add 1 DARK "Vampire" monster or 1 "Vampire" Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand.

(2)

You can banish this card from your GY; 1 DARK "Vampire" monster you Normal Summon this turn can be Summoned without Tributing .

Sorcerer has an effect that allows you to summon Vampires without sacrificing. You can take advantage of this effect to summon Vamp, Red Baron . When summoned in this way, Vamp can actively activate the effect of capturing the opponent's monster without having to depend on other Vampire monsters.

Spectralsword

(first)

If this card is in your GY, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can target 1 non-Tuner Zombie monster in your GY; banish both it and this card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Zombie Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck whose Level equals the total Levels those 2 monsters had .

You can only use this effect of "Shiranui Spectralsword" once per turn.

Spectralsword helps you summon Shiranui from the extra deck more easily as this monster allows you to banish monsters from the grave to summon.

Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon, Shiranui Sunsaga and Crystron Quariongandrax (Tip)

This is a Vampire deck whose extra deck is synchro monsters that have flexible ways to play depending on the situation. The deck is very dependent on the monsters in the extra deck as well as having to activate skills to be able to combo flexibly. The deck has 3 main win conditions:

Chronicle : has synchro materials which are synchro monsters. Carrying an effect that allows it to be immune to the effects of other cards and can revive additional monsters when destroyed, Chronicle is a suitable boss to help you stay on the field if you take the first turn.
Sunsaga : has materials that are Zombie monsters. This is a monster that can destroy your opponent's cards when following. With huge attack power plus the support and abilities of other Shiranui, Samuraisaga, Shogunsaga, and Sunsaga are monsters that can finish off opponents very quickly.
Quariongandrax : has ingredients for 2 or more tuners. Quariongandrax can be used in place of Chronicle or the Shiranui. With simpler ingredients than the rest of the bosses, with effects that can revive discarded monsters, you can set up Quariongandrax to go first if you can't get to Chronicle . This monster can also be used to finish off opponents with the ability to clear the field and the opponent's grave if it goes later.

Vampire's Domain, Vampire Familiar and Vampire Retainer (This is a deck that depends on skill)

The main monsters of the deck cannot be created simply with just 2 or 3 cards. So support from the Monstermorph: Evolution skill is necessary.

The key to the above combos is that you must find every way to actively use the skill. Vampire is a deck that can do that.

Familiar : 500 lp for skill, get Retainer .
Retanier : 500 lp for skill, get Vampire's Domain .
Vampire's Domain : 500 lp for skill, normal summon 2 times per turn.

Simply put, you need to find a way to send Familiar and Retainer to the grave and skillfully use appropriate Vampire cards as their cost to complete the combo.

Backup strategy

Other synchro monsters in the extra deck also have effects to play independently in cases where you cannot summon the main monster.

Coral Dragon can bombard cards.
Hastorr can render enemy monsters useless.
Samuraisaga is used to prevent otk.
Shogunsaga can kill opponents unexpectedly.

Red Baron is also a good choice if you no longer have any resources related to the extra deck.

The fastest way to call Plaguespreader is through skill. In cases where you cannot use the skill, you can send this monster to the grave with Gozuki , Samurai Skull to continue the combo.

If you draw Plaguespreader to your hand, Vampire's Domain and Vampire's Desire will help you solve the problem.

Vampire's Domain gives you one more normal summon of a Vampire monster. Use Plaguespreader as a sacrifice to Red Baron and then call this monster back from the grave to synchro 8, or you can summon Retainer , Sorcerer to synchro 4, 6.
Vampire's Desire can target this monster, sending Familiar to the Graveyard for you to continue the combo. You can also send this monster to the grave with Vampire's Desire to summon a Vampire from the grave, Plaguespreader can easily re-summon from the grave and continue the synchro summon.
