Cubic: deck recipe [Dec 30]

Free to Play

Because Vijam is locked to a Skill, Duza is necessary to any Cubic deck as the only Normal Summonable Cubic monster. In the Cubic Seed version of this deck, Duza serves a secondary purpose of setting up Vijam to the graveyard. Otherwise, you can mill Karma and banish it to search Buster Gundil. The mill effect can also be used as a trigger for Duza's ATK boost effect if you mill a Cubic monster.

Duza's inherent ATK boost is quite important to this deck's overall power before bringing out Buster Gundil; The rest of the monsters are simply too weak for their summoning cost. Cubic Dharma and Karma work well to boost his ATK. Dharma cycles through your deck and loads Cubics into the graveyard. Karma brings Duza's ATK to 4000 without even counting Duza's inherent ATK boost.

Since there aren't many good Cubic monsters, the current playstyle of Cubics can be summarized as Buster Gundil Turbo OTK. Buster Gundil has the same summoning condition as Indiora but with a higher ATK stat and a generally more useful effect. Attacking 3 times with a huge 3000 ATK could easily let you OTK the opponent.

For the floating effect, prioritize reviving Vijam because it is more likely to stay on the field until you summon your next turn. Reviving Duza is also a good choice since you get more mill effects off. Reviving multiple Duza with Buster Gundil's floating effect lets you mill multiple cards. Also, add another Buster Gundil to your hand, preferably from the deck. If your opponent is down to 800 or lower LP, you can opt to search Indiora or Geira instead to deal the last burn damage.

From its floating effect, you can see how Buster Gundil can be extremely difficult to get rid of with the right setup.

1. Buster Gundil gets sent to the graveyard.
2. Revive 3 Vijams and add a Buster Gundil to hand.
3. Summon the Buster Gundil you added to hand using the 3 Vijams as cost.
4. Repeat every time Buster Gundil is sent to the graveyard.

800 is a significant amount of burn damage especially in a format where the opponent only starts with 4000. Because of this Geira Guile can be brought out to poke your opponent or occasionally even steal some wins by burning their last 800 LP.

Vulcan Dragni is the next step after Geira Guile; Geira Guile fetches Vulcan Dragni and sets up its summoning requirements. It similarly does 800 damage upon summon, but has more ATK at 1600. Likewise, Vulcan Dragni will then fetch Indiora and setup its summoning requirements; these requirements however are better used for summoning Buster Gundil.

The ATK on Vulcan Dragni is pretty weak and from here we can see that these monsters are only really used for their burn damage.

Indiora is actually not that good of a monster. It has the same summoning condition as Buster Gundil so most of the time you will just be summoning Buster Gundil. It's burn effect upon summon is also shared by Geira, a Cubic monster much easier to summon. The only, practical reason we run Indiora is to have another uniquely named Cubic monster for Duza's ATK boost.

Dharma's first effect is used to cycle through your deck, which is useful when digging for Buster Gundil. The discard can be used to load Vijams into the graveyard for Buster Gundil to later float into and also load uniquely named Cubics for Duza's ATK boost.

The second effect is for simple graveyard recovery. Such as when recovering Duza or Vijam to use as summoning cost.

Karma can only be used in a Cubic Seed version of the deck. Its first effect lets you turn any of your Cubic monster into a formidable beater. This is good for getting the effects of Dark Ganex and Blade Garooda off or turning Buster Gundil into an even bigger monster. To maximize the ATK boost, do not mill Vijam with Duza if you have Karma onhand.

The second effect can only be triggered by Buster Gundil or Indiora's floating effects. Cutting your opponent's LP in half is always better than letting Karma sit on the field, so use it the first chance you get.

Mill Karma with Duza's effect and banish it to search Buster Gundil.

Cubic Mandala puts 0 ATK monsters on your opponent's field. The only practical use for this is so that you can deal damage through those 0 ATK monsters, in case your opponent has something stronger than Buster Gundil.
Do not let the revived monsters live till your opponent's next turn because they can be used for synchro plays and tribute fodder.

Overall Mandala is another situational card that we run just to fill the deck with Cubic cards.

Cubic Ascension is a good defensive option, letting you Special Summon Vijam from your Deck and redirecting the enemy attack to it. You can Special Summon Vijam in attack position to intentionally take damage, but if your opponent has more following attacks its better to summon Vijam in defense position. The goal here is to lower your LP to 2000 under your opponent's while not dying.

Then on your turn you can activate Cubic Ascension from the graveyard, hopefully fulfilling the conditions to summon three Vijam. With the three Vijams on your field, you can pretty much summon anything you want.

Cubic Seed is a more well rounded version of the deck but requires more setup to bring out your boss monster. However if you do manage to bring out Buster Gundil and setup your graveyard with Vijams, you've pretty much set up a loop that maximizes what this archetype can do.

• The build is locked to only running Cubic cards if you want to make use of Aigami's Skills which are highly useful to the archetype. This means you aren't able to add techs to boost your consistency and power, support your play style, or counter the meta.
• Cubics themselves don't have any backrow removal. And the inability to use tech cards is detrimental to an OTK deck like this one because it prevents you from using backrow removal like Cosmic Cyclone and Hey, Trunade!.

Summon by using Duza or Vijam as cost. Even though it can gain you a lot of resources, you are unlikely to use Dark Garnex' second effect without Karma because of its measly 1000 ATK. But if you do manage to pull it off this will get you closer to your boss monster.

The biggest reason we actually run Dark Garnex is to fill the deck with Cubic cards giving us access to Aigami's skills.

Blade Garoodia is the next step to Dark Garnex, ultimately letting you search Buster Gundil. It has a better ATK stat letting you get its second effect off easier. Like Dark Garnex the actual reason why we run Blade Garoodia is to fill the deck with Cubic cards.
