Pendulum: deck recipe [Mar 24]

While the Pendulum cards haven't reached their full maturity yet, putting some of them together can make them usable enough to showcase their unique specialty of being able to bring back destroyed monsters every turn, allowing them to use powerful monster effects each time they come back.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon are both great additions.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon is a powerful monster that can deal doubled battle damage to your opponent when it attacks an opponent's monster. It also has a Pendulum Effect that can reduce the battle damage you take to 0 when a Pendulum Monster you control is attacked, and a second Pendulum Effect that allows you to search for a Pendulum Monster with 1500 or less ATK at the end of the turn it was destroyed.

Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon, on the other hand, has a Pendulum Effect that allows you to Special Summon an "Odd-Eyes" monster from your hand, Deck, or GY when an "Odd-Eyes" card you control is destroyed by battle or card effect. This can be very useful for recovering from your opponent's attacks or removing cards from your GY. However, it can only be used once per turn.

Performapal Skullcrobat Joker is a great way to search out other key Performapal, Magician Pendulum, or Odd-Eyes monsters from your Deck. This can help you set up your Pendulum Zones and have access to the cards you need for your strategy. Additionally, its Pendulum Effect is very useful, allowing you to Pendulum Summon only certain types of monsters, which can help you focus your strategy.

Performapal Secondonkey is also a great card for searching out Performapal monsters from your Deck, either by sending them to the Graveyard or by adding them to your hand if you have two cards in your Pendulum Zones. This can help you set up your Pendulum Zones quickly and efficiently, allowing you to start summoning your monsters and executing your strategy.

Xiangke Magician can be a good addition as it provides a way to use Xyz Monsters as Xyz Materials for Xyz Summons. Its monster effect can also be useful in negating the effects of LIGHT monsters on the field.

Timebreaker Magician's Pendulum effect can protect your Pendulum Monsters from being destroyed by your opponent's card effects, which can be very helpful in maintaining field presence. Its monster effect can also be useful in dealing with problematic monsters on the field by banishing both the targeted monster and itself, only to return during the next Standby Phase.

Nobledragon Magician can be a useful card in a Pendulum Deck that runs Synchro Monsters. Its Pendulum effect requires the presence of a "Magician" card in your other Pendulum Zone, which can be easily fulfilled in a Pendulum Deck that uses multiple Magician cards. Its monster effect can help to Synchro Summon powerful Dragon-Type Synchro Monsters, and it can also be Special Summoned from the hand or Graveyard by reducing the Level of a Level 7 or higher "Odd-Eyes" monster you control.

Tuning Magician can be a good addition to a Pendulum Deck that utilizes Synchro Summoning. Its effect of being able to Special Summon itself from the hand or Graveyard if you have 2 "Magician" cards in your Pendulum Zones can be a valuable tool for setting up Synchro plays. However, its drawback of giving your opponent LP and dealing damage to yourself upon its Normal or Special Summon can be a bit of a hindrance.

Master Pendulum, the Dracoslayer is mainly used as a way to remove problematic Pendulum Scales that your opponent has set up, allowing you to regain control of the game.

Dragonpit Magician and Dragonpulse Magician are both powerful Pendulum Monsters in a Pendulum Deck on Duel Links.

Dragonpit Magician's effect allows you to discard 1 Pendulum Monster to destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field. This can be a useful effect to get rid of your opponent's back row, allowing your other monsters to attack without obstruction. The fact that you need a "Magician" card in your other Pendulum Zone to use this effect can be a slight limitation, but it should not be difficult to fulfill this requirement in a Pendulum Deck.

Dragonpulse Magician's effect allows you to discard 1 Pendulum Monster to destroy 1 face-up monster on the field. This can be a useful effect to get rid of your opponent's key monsters, or to clear the way for your own attacks. Again, you need a "Magician" card in your other Pendulum Zone to use this effect, but this should not be a problem in a Pendulum Deck.

Spiral Flame Strike is a powerful spell card, its first effect allows you to destroy 1 card on the field, which can help you get rid of your opponent's threats. Its second effect allows you to add a Level 7 "Odd-Eyes" monster from your deck to your hand or a face-up Level 7 "Odd-Eyes" Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck to your hand, which can help you with setting up your Pendulum Scales or for future plays.

Pendulum Call allows you to search for two "Magician" Pendulum Monsters with different names from your deck and protect your Pendulum Zones from destruction by card effects until the end of your opponent's next turn. The discard cost can also be beneficial, as it can trigger effects from other cards in your deck or hand, or even send a card to the graveyard for future use. However, it is important to note that you cannot activate this card if you have already used a "Magician" monster's Pendulum Effect that turns, so timing and resource management are crucial.

Trishula, Zero Dragon of the Ice Barrier is a powerful card, but it may not be the best choice for every situation.

However, if you are able to successfully summon Trishula, Zero Dragon of the Ice Barrier, its effects can be devastating to your opponent. Being able to banish up to 3 cards your opponent controls upon its Synchro Summon can completely turn the tide of the game, and its second effect can be a powerful follow-up if the card is destroyed by an opponent's card if you have Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier but in this case, we don't.

Overall, Trishula, Zero Dragon of the Ice Barrier is a strong card, but it may not always be the best choice for every deck and situation.

Enlightenment Paladin's effect to add a Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand when Synchro Summoned using a "Magician" Pendulum Monster can help you retrieve important Spell Cards for your strategy. Additionally, its ability to inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the original ATK of a destroyed monster can provide additional damage to your attacks.

Ignister Prominence, the Blasting Dracoslayer's ability to destroy cards on the field or in the Pendulum Zone and then shuffle a card from the field back into the Deck is very versatile and can disrupt your opponent's plays. Additionally, its ability to Special Summon a "Dracoslayer" monster from your Deck in Defense Position can help you set up your field for future plays.

Number 106: Giant Hand's effect allows you to negate an opponent's monster effect, which can be very helpful in shutting down an opponent's combo or preventing a powerful effect from being activated.

Useful to have in case you go against decks that rely on effects that activate in the graveyard. But this deck doesn't have any WATER monsters, so Dweller will only have 1700 ATK.

Works well against opponents that only have 1 monster on the field. Temporarily banishing them will allow you to attack directly, which can end up securing some games.

Even better if it's an XYZ monster since it will remove all their materials, or if it's a monster that says that it can't be special summoned in the card text.

Steelswarm Roach can be a good addition as it can provide disruption against high-level Special Summons, which are common in many decks. Its effect to negate and destroy a Level 5 or higher monster being Special Summoned can potentially shut down some key plays of the opponent. However, it is important to note that its effect only works on Level 5 or higher monsters, so it may not be effective against all types of Special Summons.

Link Disciple allows you to draw a card and cycle a card from your hand. It can also as a Filter Draw Strategy to tribute 1 monster this card points to; usually used to get rid of Knightmare Corruptor Iblee that was special summoned to your field by the opponent.

The deck might struggle in the earlier turns because the main searcher for the deck is pretty slow. You can stall the duel by using these cards to prevent any damage taken.

Consider this as an early priority to fetch with Odd-Eyes' effect. The pendulum effect blocks one direct attack every turn, but can also end up making your opponent use their spell/trap card removal early.

The deck won't be summoning monsters casually before being able to pendulum summon, so Kiteroid works the best compared to the other hand traps. This can help you control the damage that you take, which also helps you get to Destiny Draw easier.

It's fine to use this early on as a pendulum effect to just destroy a spell/trap. Once you can pendulum summon, you can bring this back every turn from the extra deck for quick and easy monster removal.

Mainly used because of its high pendulum scale. The pendulum effect can give a small ATK bonus, but not that important.

The monster effect isn't really good enough to be worth summoning this on its own, but since it's also a level 7, this can be used to make a rank 7 XYZ with another level 7.

The pendulum effect isn't usable in this deck, and being a scale of 4 makes this bad to be used as a pendulum scale. Don't set this as a pendulum monster unless you have the field spell ready to get rid of it, otherwise, you'll be stuck with an unusable pendulum zone.

The monster effect is pretty good, but what makes this a really good card is simply because it's a pendulum monster. If it gets destroyed, it goes back to the extra deck, allowing you to pendulum summon it, again and again, every turn.

If you ever get 2 or more on the board, you can make a rank 6 after their effect has been used. But doing this and activating the rank 6 effect will send the Aether to the grave, not extra deck.
