#yugioh deck

As anon pointed out in that ask a moment ago, getting the deck to work with 40 cards is proving very difficult. The SPYRAL deck can’t function purely on SPYRAL cards: they don’t alone have any means of getting cards into the grave to maintain Resort nor set up for Sleeper, they are excellent at clearing away boards going second but not exemplar at consistently setting up boards going first and they have some important normal summons spread between them all that usually one or the other card takes up.

So! It’s looking necessary to do one of two things: run a 60 card build or run Sleeper Turbo.

The latter build incorporates the former, but with the added benefit of the Zoodiac engine which synergises nicely with a whole lot of your SPYRAL cards and allows you to run Master Plan and the MISSIONs, as well as make full use of Foolish Burial Goods. As for the Sleeper combo itself, I didn’t come up with it, so I’ll link it here to save me typing it out and attribute it to the source I got it from. The combo is quite strong and only requires two cards - either Instant Fusion or Gofu and either Resort or Terraforming - and has potential to get even stronger with some more development. I just know we can use that extra special summon from Ancient Fairy Dragon for something great, like a tuner to make Crystal Wing or a Zoodiac to make a Drident, or even just an Agent that you called wrong so your Utility Wire can work.

There are a whole heap of cards that start off your combos in the sixty card deck - The Predaplant engine, Terrortop, Barrage, Resort, Machine Duplication, Ratpier - so while it does have a higher chance of bricking, the potential power output is drastically higher. With the right combination of cards, I’ve gone from five cards in hand to 11 cards on field with 3 or 4 still in hand. The Sleeper build trades off this power for consistency of a strong play that your opponent simultaneously will have difficulty removing but also threatens their board severely. The new cards have added a destructive boss monster, an incredibly protection/finisher card, non-targeting removal and a quick effect retrieval/revival card, all of which are searchable.

With regard to the upcoming meta, True Dracos are by far going to be the most threatening deck to compete against. Master Peace is difficult for this deck to overcome, it essentially requires you to either resolve a Drone on an Agent/Sleeper or make a rank4 out to it, with them likely destroying the first attempt you make at outing it. True Kings will also be something to contend with, as VFD will make completing your plays quite difficult, but not impossible. Zoodiacs and Zoodiac variants will still be around, especially with the addition of Lyca, but I feel now that SPYRALs will be able to contend with pure variants without too much issue.

I still have a lot of testing to do, and am happy to look at any suggestions or answer any questions regarding the direction SPYRALs are heading in, so feel free to hit me up! Sneak Peek is in a few days time so I’ll let you know how it goes~

So after a difficult time trying to find Scrap Recyclers anywhere, I’ve finally finished my SPYRAL deck IRL! All that I think I want to add are Dimensional Barriers in place of the Solemns in the side deck, but otherwise it’s looking good to go! I’ll be taking it to locals on Saturday, so I’ll let’cha all know how it goes!
