Fabled Synchro: deck recipe [Aug 2019 Updated]

• Decklist and Note 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 this is an excellent card, especially since you can activate this effect multiple times during the same turn.

When The Fabled Catsith is discarded to the Graveyard, you get to target a face-up card on your opponent’s side of the field and destroy it. You can discard Catsith via Fabled Raven, The Fabled Nozoochee, The Fabled Chawa or even Gungnir, the Dragon of the Ice Barrier.

When Black Rose Dragon is Synchro Summoned, you can destroy all cards on the field. You can use Black Rose Dragon to punish your opponent for overcommitting to the board early. You can also use World Legacy Clash to prevent your Black Rose Dragon from being destroyed by its own effect.

Sample Hand

x 1	Fabled Grimro
x 1	Fabled Krus
x 1	The Fabled Cerburrel
x 1	Treacherous Trap Hole

• Normal Summon The Fabled Cerburrel;
• Send Fabled Grimro from your hand to the Graveyard to add The Fabled Chawa from your Deck to your hand;
• Special Summon Chawa by discarding Fabled Krus;
• Use Krus’ effect to Special Summon Grimro;
• Set Treacherous Trap Hole;
• Use Chawa (Level 1 Tuner) and Grimro (Level 4 non-Tuner) to Synchro Summon Fabled Ragin (Level 5 Synchro);
• Draw 2 cards via Ragin’s effect;
• Use Cerburrel (Level 2 Tuner) and Fabled Ragin (Level 5 non-Tuner) to Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon (Level 7 Synchro).

Sample Hand

x 1	The Fabled Ganashia
x 1	Fabled Raven
x 1	The Fabled Cerburrel
x 1	Treacherous Trap Hole

• Normal Summon Fabled Raven;
• Discard The Fabled Ganashia and The Fabled Cerburrel via Raven’s effect;
• Both The Fabled Ganashia and The Fabled Cerburrel will be Special Summoned from the Graveyard;
• Set Treacherous Trap Hole;
• Now you can use Fabled Raven (Level 4 Tuner), The Fabled Cerburrel (Level 2 Tuner) and The Fabled Ganashia (Level 3 non-Tuner) to Synchro Summon Crystron Quariongandrax (Level 9 Synchro).

You will often find yourself with multiple Level 5 or higher monsters on the field, but, aside from Crystron Quariongandrax, none of them will be able to get over high ATK monsters such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Desperado Barrel Dragon. Using this Skill, Fabled Ragin will reach 2600 ATK by itself and 2900 ATK with another Level 5 monster. Take advantage of Raven’s ability to increase its Level and surprise your opponent with an unexpected 3100 ATK monster (Beatdown with 2 Level or higher monsters on the field on a Level 5 Fabled Raven).

Level Duplication is used primarily to Summon Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier with more ease, turning The Fabled Chawa into a Level 2 Tuner. You can use Cerburrel, Raven, Nozoochee or Krus to change Chawa’s Level.

• Going 2nd and running into a Set Treacherous Trap Hole or Six Style - Dual Wield can be devastating. You could run backrow removal, but you need a certain amount of “Fabled” monsters in order to maintain consistency.
• You might have already guessed it, but this Deck struggles when going 1st, even when there is not such a heavy focus on the early OTK via Snipe Hunter. If you’re on the play, Catsith doesn’t get to destroy anything, Quariongandrax and Gungnir simply turn into high ATK monsters with no effect, and, aside from Treacherous Trap Hole, you get no interaction with your opponent during their turn.
• Destruction is not exactly the most efficient form of removal right now: it enables Desperado Barrel Dragon and it’s not that effective on Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En or Elemental HERO Brave Neos. On the bright side, if you manage to get to Quariongandrax, you have a high chance of closing the Duel on Turn 2.
