Instructions for playing Lunalight - Part 1, deck list analysis

System: DARK, or LIGHT.

Type: Beast-Warrior.

Extra deck: Fusion.

Most Lunalight monsters have 2 special abilities including 1 effect that the player actively activates (ignition) from their hand or on the field and 1 effect that can be activated when these monsters are sent down. Graved by effects or destroyed,... (trigger).

Kaleido Chick is a monster that is used many times in combos.

This monster can send 1 other Lunalight monster from the DECK or EXTRA DECK to the grave, when used as fusion material if this Kaleido Chick monster is face up on the field after using the effect, you can see Kaleido Chick is the monster with the same name as the Lunalight monster that was sent to the grave.

However, in reality Kaleido Chick is rarely used for its intended function. Players often use this monster as a Foolish Burial to bring monsters like Yellow Marten , Emerald Bird ,... to revive them to create more bodies. Furthermore, because having to send Lunalight monsters to the grave is COST, Ash Blossom or other negate abilities of Infinite Impermanence , Effect Veiler cannot prevent Kaleido Chick from sending monsters from the deck to the grave, and when sending If those monsters go to the grave, this monster will have completed its mission.

This effect of Kaleido Chick is limited to 1 time/turn for each copy of Kaleido Chick on the field and does not affect other monsters of the same name. This means that if you have multiple Kaleido Chicks on the field, each Kaleido Chick can perform this effect once. Or if you somehow take Kaleido Chick off the field after using the effect and then re-summon them, you can reuse this effect again (will be discussed later in the combo section).

Kaleido Chick is an extremely important monster in strategy because of its ability to send a significant number of Lunalight monsters to the grave from the deck as well as having an extremely nice level 4 that can be easily summoned normally as well as used as material for other rank 4 monsters.

In addition to the above effect, Kaleido Chick also has 2 other effects:

Return exactly 1 Polymerization (target) card from the grave to the hand when sent to the grave by a card's effect (limited to 1 time/turn on other Kaleido Chicks ).

Prevents your opponent from activating effects, and cards in the battle phase during this monster's turn are discarded.

These effects mainly serve the Lunalight otk strategy, where Kaleido Chick should belong.

Lunalight Tiger is a level 3 LIGHT type pendulum monster, different from most of the rest which are level 4 DARK type. It is also important that this monster is the key used to combine with Kaleido Chick .

Both the pendulum effect and Tiger 's monster effect part involve the ability to special summon a Lunalight monster from the grave to the field:

While in the pendulum zone, once/turn you can special summon 1 Lunalight monster from the grave (target), this monster will have its effects disabled, cannot attack and will be destroyed at the end. phase. phase.

Tiger 's monster effect can be activated when this card is destroyed, you can recall 1 Lunalight from the grave (target) and this monster will not be subject to any constraints. This effect of Tiger can only be used once/turn.

Similar to Kaleido Chick , Tiger 's pendulum zone effect can be reused in the same turn with multiple copies of Tiger . You can use 2 Tigers in both pendulum zones to revive 2 Lunalights without worrying about the scale value because the deck rarely summons pendulums.

Thanks to Yellow Marten 's ability to return cards to your hand, you can also return Tiger from the field to your hand to reactivate this effect again.

Because it is a pendulum monster in a fusion deck, there are not too many ways to get Tiger back while in the extra deck (pendulum cards on the field when going to the grave will be placed in the extra deck face-up instead of sending it to the grave). Tiger almost loses her looping ability when put into an extra deck that slows down your combos. Therefore, you need to consider whether you want to actively activate Tiger 's monster effects or not (usually players will use Tornado Dragon to destroy her while in the pendulum zone).

In the Lunalight card family, Black Sheep is a monster that can regain Tiger when it is in the extra deck and is in hand again. But you can only do this when she is used as a fusion material and sent to the grave, this is also to avoid players overusing Lunalight to use in other decks.

Lunalight Yellow Marten has 2 effects and each Yellow Marten effect can only be used once/turn. This monster is Kaleido Chick 's priority cost target.

While Yellow Marten is in the Graveyard, you can add 1 Lunalight card from your field to your hand (target), except Yellow Marten , special summon this monster from the Graveyard, however this card will be discarded if leave the yard. You can take advantage of this effect of Yellow Marten to put Tiger back in your hand and use Tiger 's pendulum effect again.

Yellow Marten 's other effects can be activated when she is sent to the grave using the effects of other cards, you can add 1 Lunalight spell/trap from your deck to your hand. This effect also only serves Lunalight in pure gameplay, the best cards that can be searched thanks to Yellow Marten include Lunalight Fusion and Lunalight Serenade Dance .

You need to clearly distinguish cost and effect from each other. Kaleido Chick 's action of sending a Lunalight monster from the deck/extra deck to the grave is considered a cost (preceded by a semicolon (;)), so Yellow Marten cannot activate the effect to get a Lunalight spell/trap. get your hands on it.

Lunalight Emerald Bird has 2 effects and each Emerald Bird 's effect can only be used once/turn.

Emerald Bird is one of the ways to help you activate the graveyard effect of Lunalight cards. When normal/special summoned, you can send 1 Lunalight card from your hand to the grave, and draw 1 a card.

By sending a card from her hand to the grave as an effect, Yellow Marten can use the sear effect of her spell/trap cards. Serenade Dance is also easier to get to the grave thanks to Emerald Bird .

Since there is no limit on the name of the card that needs to be sent to the grave, you can absolutely send Emerald Bird from your hand for this effect. When Emerald Bird is sent to the grave by card effects, you can summon 1 level 4 or lower Lunalight monster (target) from the grave or banish to the field in defense position. This is also a way to help Lunalight continue to maintain the deck's monster resources, most especially the ability to retrieve Lunalight monsters that are being removed.

Lunalight Crimson Fox provides a lot of support for Lunalight monsters in otk strategies as well as being a protector for these monsters.

When this monster is sent to the Graveyard by an effect, you can change the ATK of 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field to 0 (target) until the end of the turn.

Crimson Fox in the grave can also protect your Lunalight monsters. When any card or effect targets a Lunalight monster you control, by banishing Crimson Fox from the grave, you can negate the activation, and both players gain 1000LP.

Crimson Fox's protection helps you keep Lunalight monsters on the field away from destruction effects, targeted removal so players can continue combos by using those monsters as link materials, xyz , fusion, …

One unfortunate thing about Crimson Fox is that this monster cannot protect Tiger while in the pendulum zone as well as the ability to negate but not destroy, making Blue Cat have no place to act in the deck when Crimson Fox can respond. its owner.

In addition to protecting you from keeping monster resources on the field and preventing them from being banned while on the field by the opponent, Crimson Fox can do almost nothing when Kaleido Chick sends Lunalight from the deck/extra deck. Grave is a cost and Lunalight monsters need to be graved by effects to activate their effects, and sometimes giving the opponent 1000LP causes... the deck's otk ability to fail. In return, Crimson Fox does not have any limits on using effects on this monster.

Lunalight Black Sheep has 2 effects that can be used while in hand and while in the grave. Both of Black Sheep 's effects have no limit on the number of times they can be activated per turn.

By discarding this card, you can either add exactly 1 Polymerization from your Deck to your hand, or add 1 Lunalight monster from your Graveyard to your hand. Black Sheep is a fusion support as well as a search support for any Lunalight monster you want indirectly through Kaleido Chick .

As I mentioned, Black Sheep is the most useful Lunalight monster to help you get Tiger back from the extra deck. However, the conditions for activating the effect when this card is sent to the grave by effects are more difficult than for other Lunalight monsters. This effect can be activated if this card is used as fusion material for a fusion summon and sent to the grave, you can return to your hand 1 face-up Lunalight pendulum monster from your extra deck or 1 Lunalight monsters from your grave.

It is not too difficult to understand that this monster does not have level 4 like most other Lunalight monsters as well as the conditions for activating effects are more difficult, this helps Lunalight have more of a deck quality instead of being a hired engine. for other xyz 4 decks. However, Black Sheep does not require you to use her as a fusion material for Lunalight monsters to activate the effect. Black Sheep's grave effect can be activated even when she uses it to fusion summon other monsters. Some other fusion monsters you can play in Lunalight are Mudragon , Garura , Guardian Chimera ,...

Lunalight Purple Butterfly also has 2 effects on hand and grave, and you can only use each Purple Butterfly effect once/turn.

You can remove this monster from the Graveyard (cost) to summon 1 Lunalight monster from your hand.

While this monster card is in your hand or on the field, you can send this monster to the Graveyard (cost) to increase 1 of your Lunalight (target) monsters by 1000 ATK until the end of this turn.

Purple Butterfly is a Lunalight monster that you can actively use its effect, however it is quite unfortunate that this monster's ATK increasing effect is not a quick effect.

Lunalight Wolf is a scale 1 pendulum monster from Lunalight. Thanks to this monster, your Lunalight has another way to fusion summon without having to get Polymerization through Black Sheep . This monster's effect when in the pendulum zone allows you to fusion summon Lunalight monsters by removing materials from the field and grave.

Wolf as a monster on the field has an effect that causes your Lunalight monsters to deal piercing damage to quickly finish off your opponent.

As a fusion deck, Lunalight also has its own Fusion card in addition to search support surrounding the classic fusion card Polymerization , Lunalight Fusion . You can only activate Lunalight Fusion once per turn.

Lunalight Fusion can only summon and fuse Lunalight monsters, the materials used can be from the hand or the field such as Polymerization . In addition, you can use exactly 1 Lunalight monster from the deck/extra deck if your opponent has a summoned monster from the extra deck on the field. Lunalight Fusion helps you summon monsters like Leo Dancer and Panther Dancer more easily with materials used from the extra deck, as well as helping Lunalight monsters trigger their effects when sent to the grave.

Lunalight Serenade Dance is a trap card of the clan, this card is mainly used for its grave effect. You can remove Serenade Dance from the Graveyard (cost) to send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard and special summon 1 Lunalight monster from your Deck to the field. This card both helps you summon a monster you want from the deck and also helps you send Lunalight monsters to the grave to help them trigger effects from the grave.

You can use Foolish Burial Goods to send Serenade Dance from the deck to the grave. If this card is already in your hand, you can send them to the grave more easily thanks to Emerald Bird or Luna Light Perfume .

Serenade Dance 's on-field effects only support the deck's pure gameplay and are not too important. This is an eternal trap card. When a monster is summoned to your field, you can choose 1 of 2 effects that can summon 1 token to your opponent's field or your monster (target). will increase 500 ATK for each opponent's monster. Serenade Dance allows your Lunalight monsters to attack multiple times to optimize the damage dealt to the opponent.

An extremely important support of Lunalight that can both revive Lunalight monsters from the grave and be a searcher, Luna Light Perfume is not a Lunalight card (the difference is in the distance between Luna Light), This makes this card unsearchable thanks to Yellow Marten and can only wait for your turn to draw. It couldn't be more comprehensive, both of Luna Light Perfume 's effects do not have any limit on the number of uses nor are they bound to summon monsters during the turn.

You can activate this card from your hand to summon 1 Lunalight monster from your grave (target).

When Luna Light Perfume is in the Graveyard, you can remove this card from the Graveyard, then discard 1 card from your hand (cost), adding 1 Lunalight monster from your Deck to your hand.

Lunalight Cat Dancer can be fusion summoned with the materials of 2 Lunalight monsters, she can be summoned again from the grave after being fusion summoned.

Cat Dancer can attack each monster twice. Each time this monster declares an attack, the opponent takes 100 LP damage.

In addition, Cat Dancer can also activate an effect (during main phase 1) that makes the monster unable to be destroyed by battle on its first attack by sacrificing another Lunalight monster on the field (cost). This way your Cat Dancer can hold their monster and attack them a second time to deal maximum damage to your opponent.

However, with Cat Dancer alone, you still cannot finish the opponent so easily. With only 2400 ATK, Cat Dancer needs other support effects from Crimson Fox or Wolf to be able to deal a significant amount of damage to opponents as well as Crimson Fox to help her overcome monsters. big beast in a simpler way.

Lunalight Panther Dancer is summoned using materials including 1 Cat Dancer and 1 Lunalight monster. are two fusion forms of Lunalight in materials that require a fusion monster of the correct name. In addition, these monsters can only be specially summoned by summoning the appropriate summon with that exact number of materials.

Inheriting the power of Cat Dancer , Panther Dancer can attack each monster twice and keep them on the field, preventing them from being destroyed after the first attack. Furthermore, this ability of Panther Dancer does not require Pay the same cost as Cat Dancer . After each time Panther Dancer destroys a monster in battle, this monster will gain 200 ATK until the end of the battle phase, and in addition, this girl also has the effect of not being destroyed by effects from opponent's cards. direction.

Slightly different from Panther Dancer and Cat Dancer , Leo Dancer does not deal damage based on attacking enemy monsters, but instead this monster will destroy them and attack the opponent directly. If Leo Dancer attacks an opponent's monster, you can activate the effect and destroy all specially summoned monsters on the opponent's field (at the end damage step). Leo Dancer can attack up to 2 times during the battle phase, so this monster can attack again and attack the opponent directly.

As a combination form of Panther Dancer and two other Lunalight monsters, Leo Dancer cannot be targeted by cards nor destroyed by opponent's cards, and this monster's only summon is summoning. fit on the field.

With a summoning condition that requires up to 3 fusion materials and only has an ATK increasing effect while on the field, Saber Dancer is often only used thanks to its ATK increasing effect in the grave or is not used in many deck lists. .

So I have finished introducing to you the members of the Lunalight archetype. This is a deck with interesting gameplay that can both go ahead and go behind thanks to its extremely strong monster spamming power without any restrictions.

In the next article, I will continue to give you engines and tech cards that can be played with Lunalight as well as some mistakes that new players often make when using the deck. Thank you for your interest.
