OCG - Instructions for playing and building Swordsoul (2022)
Sections covered in this guide:
overview
Core
Main Deck
Mo Ye is the Swordsoul you'll want to see most often due to its Token spawn effect being the easiest way to get into your level 8 Synchro plays, requiring virtually no setup and also having a strong GY effect Best among all Swordsoul monsters. Never go with less than 3 copies.
Note : When you have a Tuner Token on the field, you can ONLY call Synchro from the Extra Deck onto the field. Please pay attention to this when playing on Duelingbook or playing real!
A great starter with Mo Ye, a great extender with Longyuan and even a potential addition to the endgame deck when used to search Archnemeses Protos , these are 3 very obvious duplicates in any build any of Swordsoul.
Sacred Summit is like a miniature Monster Reborn specifically for Swordsoul, helping you develop more combos. In addition, when fighting for a long time, you can revive 1 Swordsoul to have more resources to continue playing.
In the current meta, Sacred Summit's appearance has almost disappeared in most Swordsoul decks. Therefore, newbies should also consider using this card in their Deck.
- In Assessment is a significant ATK increase for your bosses to OTK
- In Sati there is an increase in your combo lines. However, using too much also leads to depletion of your resources, because once expelled, there are very few ways to recycle your resources.
Extra Deck
Note : When summoning Chixiao using Taia or Mo Ye, arrange Chixiao chain link 1, Taia/Mo Ye chain link 2. By doing so, Chixiao will not be affected by Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring while deploying his effect.
- Baxia is easily one of your main forms of removal, for both monsters and backrows. It can rarely act as a next extender / extended play by destroying itself (or any of your other cards) to revive monsters in the GY, this is often used as a result. works well with Taia's GY effect, as you can Summon any level 4 or lower Wyrm Monster from your Deck.
- And Yazi can be called onto the field with Taia + Emergence/Sacred Summit. Yazi helps you bombard the opp field, then you can jump 1 Swordsoul (usually Mo Ye) to flood the field again.
The reason is that you will be summoning this card primarily using Baxia and Adhara, which means your opponent will be completely unable to use any LIGHT effects in your hand, field, GY, anywhere. where. This is especially important because it means that Nibiru, the Primal Being becomes unusable after Chaofeng hits the field, so you always force your opponent to use it, usually before you are Normal Summoned.
However, Chaofeng should never be your primary target, and you should only summon it knowing that you can continue playing with some other cards you have.
Engine
Tech
There's also a bit of interesting synergy with Chengying, as using Desires will give it a 1000 ATK/DEF boost and knock everything the opponent controls by 1000 ATK/DEF. This is also the reason why we trust using Pot more than Assessment :v Spell is better than Trap, right?
Combo
Most of my featured combos will only show 2 card combos, so you won't see any big ending decks, this is just to get a general feel for the deck and how to act on what you have withdrawn.
