Link: Relinquished Deck 2023
Introduction
This Relinquished Deck is designed around Going Second and functions around breaking down your opponents board to overwhelm their then limited resources.
How to play with Relinquished deck
When playing the Relinquished Deck the main goal is to get Relinquished into the grave to summon Millenium-Eyes Restrict and equip your opponent’s Boss Monsters and Combo Starting monsters to permanently negate their effects.
Monsters
Monsters you would like to see in your opening hand include Magicians’ Souls, Millenium-Eyes Illusionist, Radian, or Divincarnate.
Millenium-Eyes Illusionist: When Millenium-Eyes Restrict is on the Field, this card gives you an additional negate. You can target any effect monster your opponent controls and it becomes equipped to restrict as if by its own effect allowing restrict to negate the monster and gain its attack and defense.
Radian: One of this deck’s biggest weaknesses is Untargetable and Unaffected monsters that can stay on the field uncontested. Kaiju like Radian have always been a great way to remove these problem monsters while giving you some sustainable attack. Don’t forget that restrict can equip monsters in the graveyard ignoring their untargetable protection.
Divincarnate: Going Second you can always expect the opponent to have a variety of negates to prevent you from playing. Divincarnate gives you the ability to tribute any monster that activated its effects to summon itself boosting its attack when this happens. Now you can play after dealing with heavy monster negate boards and even steal an opponent’s monster out of the graveyard.
Magicians’ Souls: A strange pick for the deck but with Preperation of rites and Illusion of Chaos it becomes a searchable Draw card that can be used to put a dark magician in the Graveyard for the summon of Red-Eyes Black Dragoon in case your Restrict plays are not enough.
Spells and traps
With plenty of Draw and Search power your bound to run into one of these important cards.
Branded Fusion: The main card to get your combo started in this deck. This card alone allows you to build a board ending with Millenium-Eyes Restrict, Red-Eyes Black Dragoon, or Mirrorjade depending on the situation. All you need to do is send Fallen of Albaz to the grave with any monster needed for the fusion of your choice.
Evenly Matched: Alot of players can easily overextend and build massive boards that look overwhelming to destroy. You can start your turn entering the Battle phase before ending it to Activate Evenly Matched from your hand while you control no cards forcing your opponent to banish all but 1 card they control. Most decks can’t recover from this and since this is a control based deck skipping your battle phase normally isn’t too negative for you.
Relinquished Fusion: One of the best ways to get Millenium Eyes Restrict out is to Banish 1 Relinquished with any other monster in your grave since you won’t have a use for them after. To top it off, banishing Relinquished Fusion from the graveyard allows you to equip an effect monster of your choice that your opponent controls to your Restrict.
Extra deck
This deck has a variety of end boards due to Branded Fusion and can even end with an intimidating board if you’re forced to go first. An optimal hand can allow you to end with Lubellion, Red-Eyes Black Dragoon, and Millenium-Eyes Restrict on field when opening with Branded fusion, Relinquished Fusion, and any card that gets Relinquished or Dark Magician to your Hand or Grave.
