Link: Spirit Exosister Deck 2023
How To Play
Welcome to Spirit Exosister Deck for 2023! The “Exosisters” is an archetype introduced in the Deck Build Pack: Grand Creators, consisting of Level-4 Light Spellcasters with their stronger Rank 4 LIGHT Warrior XYZ Monsters. The main goal of the “Exosisters” is to exercise whoever attempts to awaken the dead, meaning there’s a reaction for each of these “sisters” to prevent or penalize your opponent for using their GY.
As always, I’ll start off with starters, lead into the main monsters, then go into some of the main combos of the deck.
While there are some typical starters, the “Exosisters” archetype is quite lenient in getting your Rank 4s live on the field. And, of course, using Aratama and Sakitama also makes it a quick task as all of the “Exosister” XYZs besides Exosisters Magnifica only require Level 4s. However, if I were to name a starter, it would have to be both the monster Exosister Martha and Spell Exosister Pax.
Martha allows you to SS “Exosister Elis” from the Deck that you can then easily set into Exosister Mikailis for additional resources. Pax will enable you to pay 800 LP and add 1 “Exosister” card from the deck. However, as I said, the archetype is very lenient with its monsters. All of the “Exosisters” have additional effects for their paired sister.
Exosister Elis and Exosister Stella work for an additional “Exosister” Special Summoning and gain 800 LP.
While Exosister Sophia and Exosister Irene can play on each other for additional card draws.
The only sister who doesn’t have an additional effect is Martha, but of course, she can SS Elis for additional plays, so she does enough already.
Now we know the monsters and how to get them on the field. It’s time we talk about the XYZs. All “Exosister” base monsters have the additional effect if a card is moved out of the GY. You can Special Summon from your Extra Deck 1 “Exosister” XYZ monster using the face-up card as material. I found it a bit daunting when I first started playing “Exosisters,” so I created a chart to help me remember their effects.
Exosister Mikailis – (Detach, Add Spell/Trap) (Turn summoned, Target Banish on Field or GY)
Exosister Kaspitell – (Detach, Add Monster) (Turn summoned, Neither player can SS from GY)
Exosister Asophiel – (Detach, Target monster return to hand) (Turn summoned, no effects can be activated in GY)
Exosister Gibrine – (Detach, Increase all XYZ 800 ATK) (Turn summoned, target one monster, and negate its effects)
Essentially, the XYZs consist of interruptions and floodgates that help cease any multitude of play your opponent is trying to make. And since these a turn summons, they cannot be negated with cards like Droplet or DRNM, and even if they leave the field, their effects remain potent.
And the deck wouldn’t be complete with Exosisters Magnifica, utilizing 2 Rank 4 “Exosister” XYZs for its summon. You’ll usually get on the field during your first turn End Phase or Exosister Returnia on your opponent’s turn. She’s not only able to perform a nontargeting banish, but she can also return 1 Xyz monster attached to itself and SS that monster from the Extra Deck using Magnifica as material.
The main combo (especially if you don’t know what your opponent is playing) is the four-block banish, consisting of XYZs Mikalis, searching Returnia then overlaying another XYZ Exosister into Magnifica. On your opponent’s turn, once they use an effect, utilize the second “return” effect and chain with a detach for a banish of your opponent’s card. Next, use Magnifica to overlay into Mikailis, utilize her effect for a banish, then activate Returnia. Because you XYZ’d summon this turn, you get two banishes via the trap card with the additional two of the Magnifica play.
It’s important to note that even though this combo is potent, you can also utilize its turn-summon effects differently.
Suppose you want an abundance of floodgates on your enemy’s turn. Overlay Kaspetell and Asophiel. For interruptions, go into an overlay of Mikalis and Gibrine. If it’s the first turn and you have no clue, go into a Mikalis and Kaspetell overlay for good measure.
That’s all! This deck is simple, so there isn’t an additional deck info section; However, you’re always available to try new hand traps, archetypes, and floodgates. Cards like Dimension Shifter can be main-decked as “Exosisters” and have zero GY recursion anyway, while floodgates like Gozen Match are a viable option. If you want back-row protection, then Lord of the Heavenly Prison is also something you can look into.
