Fabled Synchro: deck recipe

• Budget Version Decklist Added
• Other Useful Cards Information Added
• The Fabled Kudabbi's notes Updated

“Fabled” is an archetype of LIGHT, Fiend and Beast-Type monsters that was initially introduced into the game in Electric Overload over a year ago. Many months after their initial release, Fabled did receive further support in Valiant Souls, but the archetype still wasn’t good enough to see competitive play.

“Fabled” decks focus on discarding cards from the hand to the Graveyard in order to enable certain effects. Some “Fabled” monsters (The Fabled Cerburrel, The Fabled Ganashia) Special Summon themselves from the Graveyard when they are discarded;

Thanks to this type of effect, “Fabled” decks are capable of quickly swarming the field and then, with the help of the Tuner monsters introduced in Revolution Beginning, Special Summon powerful Synchro monsters such as The Fabled Kudabbi and Armades, Keeper of Boundaries from the Extra Deck.

By sending Fabled Grimro from your hand to the Graveyard, you can add a “Fabled” monster from your Deck to your hand. You need to control a face-up “Fabled” monster in order to activate Grimro’s effect, but that doesn’t take away much from the fact that it’s an excellent searcher.

Dark World Dealings allows you to quickly draw through your Deck while also triggering some of your monsters’ effects. You can discard with Dark World Dealings The Fabled Cerburrel or The Fabled Ganashia and Special Summon them directly from the Graveyard.

The deck would normally have trouble dealing with high ATK monsters such as Cosmo Brain and Masked HERO Anki, but Snipe Hunter can easily solve this issue. The activation cost for Snipe Hunter’s effect can be used to swarm the field while destroying your opponent’s cards.

The Fabled Kudabbi is a Level 4 Synchro that you can mainly Special Summon using The Fabled Chawa and The Fabled Ganashia, The Fabled Nozoochee and The Fabled Cerburrel or Fabled Raven and Fabled Lurrie.

The Fabled Chawa + The Fabled Ganashia

The Fabled Chawa

The Fabled Ganashia

• Activate Fabled Chawa's effect and Special Summon it by discarding Fabled Ganashia;
• Fabled Ganashia is Special Summoned from the Graveyard by its own effect;
• Special Summon The Fabled Kudabbi from the Extra Deck.

The Fabled Nozoochee + The Fabled Cerburrel

The Fabled Nozoochee

The Fabled Cerburrel

• Activate Fabled Nozoochee's effect and Special Summon it by discarding The Fabled Cerburrel;
• Fabled Cerburrel is Special Summoned from the Graveyard by its own effect;
• Alternatively you can discard a different “Fabled” monster and then Special Summon Cerburrel with Nozoochee’s effect from your hand;
• Special Summon The Fabled Kudabbi from the Extra Deck.

Fabled Raven + Fabled Lurrie

Fabled Raven

Fabled Lurrie

• Normal Summon Fabled Raven;
• Activate Fabled Raven's effect and discard Fabled Lurrie;
• Fabled Raven gains 400 ATK and 1 Level;
• Fabled Lurrie is Special Summoned from the Graveyard by its own effect;
• Special Summon The Fabled Kudabbi from the Extra Deck.

As long as you have no cards in your hand, The Fabled Kudabbi can't be destroyed by battle or card effect. Many decks have a hard time going first because it makes them vulnerable to an OTK, but Fabled have this beautiful Level 4 monster:

Vampires, Masked HEROes and Blue-Eyes have almost no way of getting rid of this card, as long as the protection effect is active. Spellbook of Fate, Enemy Controller, Vampire Vamp, D.D. Assailant (if Kudabbi is in Attack Position or you decided to attack a face-down monster), Forbidden Chalice, U.A. Penalty Box and Amazoness Onslaught are the most relevant cards that can deal with Kudabbi.

Before somebody asks these questions in the comments: no, Armades, Keeper of Boundaries and Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman (with DNA Surgery) can’t do anything about The Fabled Kudabbi, although the latter is still able to deal piercing damage.

Ragin is a Level 5 Synchro that, when Synchro Summoned, allows you to draw until you have 2 cards in your hand. Fabled decks are able to quickly empty their hand, so this particular effect can easily turn into an automatic “draw 2 cards”.

You can mainly Summon Ragin using The Fabled Cerburrel and The Fabled Ganashia, The Fabled Chawa and Snipe Hunter or Fabled Raven and Fabled Lurrie.

The Fabled Cerburrel + The Fabled Ganashia

The Fabled Cerburrel

The Fabled Ganashia

• Activate Dark World Dealings and discard either Cerburrel or Ganashia or use Snipe Hunter’s effect to discard both of them;
• The monster(s) discarded is Special Summoned from the Graveyard;
• Synchro Summon Fabled Ragin.

The Fabled Chawa + Snipe Hunter

The Fabled Chawa

Snipe Hunter

• Special Summon Chawa using its own effect;
• Normal Summon Snipe Hunter;
• Synchro Summon Fabled Ragin.

Fabled Raven + Fabled Lurrie

Fabled Raven

Fabled Lurrie

• Normal Summon Raven;
• Activate Raven’s effect and discard Lurrie and another card;
• Lurrie is Special Summon from the Graveyard;
• Synchro Summon Fabled Ragin.

These are obviously not the only ways of Summoning Fabled Ragin. There are a lot of “Fabled” monsters, so there are naturally a lot of different combinations you can run and use.

Since Armades is a Level 5 Synchro, just like Ragin, you can Special Summon it using the same combinations listed above. Depending on the situation, you might want to Summon Armades over Fabled Ragin because of its effect; Armades is capable of shutting down cards like Drowning Mirror Force, Wall of Disruption and even Sphere Kuriboh.

Restart prevents you from bricking; thanks Dark World Dealings and Fabled Ragin, you can easily make up for the fact that you might skip your first Draw Phase.

• Treacherous Trap Hole, Floodgate Trap Hole and Paleozoic Canadia can be used to prevent you from Synchro Summoning or from using Snipe Hunter’s effect. I included Hey, Trunade! in the Example Deck precisely because of this, but you can also run Cosmic Cyclone (Radiating LIGHT or Switcheroo) or Galaxy Cyclone.
• Sealed Tombs, which is commonly used to counter Vampire decks can shut down this deck.
• The Fabled Kudabbi is difficult to deal with for most decks, but both Spellbook and Vampire do have an out to it in Spellbook of Fate and Vampire Vamp respectively. U.A. and Amazoness can also deal with this Level 4 Synchro, but they are way less popular right now in PvP.
