PLAYSTYLE
It focuses on spamming tuner monsters being able to easily bring out power synchro monsters. Its particular mechanic of summoning more tuners when they are destroyed, makes your plays easy to accomplish. It also doesn’t have any kind of restrictions, so you can play Fusion, Links and Xyz as well to make your end board even more crazy.
Mannadium Riumheart is Visas’ counterpart in the archetype and the main starter since he’s able to search for any “Manndium” card. Its quick effect to destroy a Mannadium monster to summon itself extends the plays. As of right now in the TCG there are only 2 tuners: Mannadium Meek and Mannadium Fearless. Meek is the better one since it allows level modulation to access level 10s like Baronne de Fleur. Once the third tuner, Mannadium Trid, arrives in Duelist Nexus the deck is going to be even more consistent.
Visas Starfrost enables plays and extenders thanks to its effect of destroying a monster you control to summon itself. Perfect match with the archetype’s tuners. Additionally, with the field spell Peaceful Planet Calarium you can bring back one of your destroyed tuners to have another body on board. Extending in this deck is easy as breathing.
The deck plays a small Scareclaw package to allow more extenders and leave additional negates with Apollousa Bow of the Goddess. A little plus is that when you summon Scareclaw Reichheart and there 3 or more defense position monsters, you can draw a card in addition to the card you search and access further plays.
Weaknesses
As many combo decks out there, the deck has a terrible match against Nibiru the Primal Being and Droll Lock Bird. Not being able to summon a negate before the fifth summon can break your board. However, with the proper planning (and hand) you can leave a decent board to play around it. Fortunately, the deck can play around other disruptions with ease.
There is yet to see this deck’s full potential with upcoming support and releases. Depending on how the format shifts, this deck could be standing on the top tables of competitive play. Stay tuned for further updates!
