Sections covered in this guide:
Overview & gameplay
Eldlich is a control-oriented deck. The deck has a completely unique gameplay compared to other control decks, which is to summon the deck's own trap monsters and use the side effects of these cards to break the opponent's combo. The side effects of these trap monsters can only be used when Eldlich the Golden Lord is on your field.

Black và White cũng có chức năng triệu hồi Golden Lord như Scarlet nhưng lại
ít được trọng dụng hơn Scarlet.
Black có thể
triệu hồi được Golden Lord từ bộ bài,
tuy nhiên Black lại là một normal
spell. Bạn chỉ có thể kích hoạt Black ngay trong lượt của mình, điều này làm
cho Golden Lord của bạn trở nên nguy
hiểm khi đối phương sẽ tìm cách câu bài của bạn và tìm cách tiêu diệt Golden Lord trước khi combo.
Đối với White, bạn
sẽ cần nhiều tài sự chuẩn bị hơn để lấy Golden
Lord lên tay hoặc đưa xuống mộ mới có thể sử dụng được lá bài này.
