Vendread Shiranui: deck recipe [May 17]

The Deck is basically a standard Vendread Deck with a Shiranui Synchro engine teched in. However, it does open up a lot of interactions between the two archetypes.

Slayer's ATK gain effect can turn it into a powerful beater over time, but if you summon him with Evolution this effect won't matter much. Instead you can use Slayer as synchro material which will also activate his search effect. Fetch another Evolution which you can use to revive Slayer on your next turn.

Slayer's effect also lets you mill Executor. Executor in your graveyard can be paired with Spectralsword to make Sunsaga.

Evolution serves as both a Ritual Spell and the revival Spell of this deck. When summoning a Vendread Ritual monster with tributes from the deck, you'll most likely be milling a copy of that Ritual monster to the graveyard. If you can, the best tributes to use is one Revenants plus one Spectralsword in your hand.

The Slayer summnoned with this card will be destroyed during your opponent's End Phase anyway, so you can use the Ritual Summoned monster as Ritual material. This is made more cost efficient if you use a monster from the deck as ritual tribute.

The way Vendread monsters work is that they need to be on the field upon being used as Ritual Tribute to get maximize their effect. So even though Vendread Origin can use tributes from the hand and graveyard it is best to summon the tributes first, or in Houndhorde's case revive it first.

Works great against most decks due to the popularity of Extra Deck toolboxes. And the fact that usually the monster most worth getting rid of is a Special Summoned boss monster, makes Revenant's effect quite relevant.

You can use Houndhorder's effect to get rid of your opponent’s backrow and banish problematic cards such as Black Whirlwind and Noble Arms of Destiny. This is a quick effect so it can be used in response to the card's activation, even before the opponent is able to make use of its effect.

Origin is a more permanent method of summoning Slayer. It's also more convenient since you don't need to tribute an exact level, and you can use monsters from the graveyard as cost. Lastly it has a protection effect, which reinforces the idea of keeping Slayer on the field as a beater.

However, the biggest advantage Evolution has over Origin is its ability to mill your deck. With Origin, you can't really directly mill Executor out of the deck to make Sunsaga.

The search effect is a great consistency boost to the deck. Use this search effect to fetch your Ritual monsters and their tribute fodder. Usually the things in this deck can still be used from the graveyard so the discard cost can easily be mitigated. For example, a discarded Vendread Ritual monster can still be summoned from the graveyard, a discarded Spectralsword sets up a Synchro play, and a Vendread monster in the graveyard has its inherent revival effect.

The field Spell's second effect can be used multiple times per turn and is good for beating down enemy setups but is quite costly. Also you can't use this extra attack to hit your opponent directly.

Normal Summon Squire and Special Summon Spectralsword from the deck. Use the two monsters together to make Samuraisaga. With Spectralsword now in the graveyard, you'll later get access to a ton more Synchro plays.

Squire in the graveyard can be banished with Spectralsword's effect. Another way is to banish her as Slayer's ATK buff cost.

Spectralsword's graveyard effect makes it a great Synchro enabler. This effect even allows you to make Synchro monsters that Spectralsword won't be able to make while on the field such as Archfiend Zombie Skull and Revived King Ha Des.

With the amount of Special Summoning you can perform in this deck, getting Spectralsword on the field is as valid as getting it in the graveyard. Particularly, you can make a generic level-8 Synchro with a Ritual Summoned Slayer paired with Spectralsword.

Notably you can make the Shiranui boss monsters Sunsaga and Shogunsaga by pairing Spectralsword with Executor and Slayer respectively. Both materials can either by on the field or in the graveyard together.

Sunsaga has a powerful removal effect upon summoning that also recovers your Zombie Synchros. So Sunsaga is best summoned when you already got a bunch of Synchros in the graveyard and banish zone. But even if you don't have Synchros for Sunsaga's removal effect, he is still worth summoning just because of the huge ATK stat and type-wide protection effect.

Shogunsaga's temporary ATK boost is great for dealing lethal damage, and between your Zombie Ritual and Synchro monsters there are a ton of options you can banish for this ATK boost. Samuraisaga is the best option among these because he also debuffs the opponent's monster.

Samuraisaga is mostly used to be a decent stat body on-board until you can make something better. The battle position changing effect isn't really that good unless you have a banished Executor or Slayer.

Another monster that can only be summoned by Spectralsword's graveyard effect. While Ha Des is used for control, Archfiend Zombie-Skull is used for defense against removal effects.

Scrap Dragon is one of the best generic level-8 Synchro monsters available. It provides a high ATK stat and an on-demand removal effect. For this deck particularly, the card you destroy on your side can be recycled in a number of ways if it is a monster.

In this deck, Revived King Ha Des can only be made with Spectralsword's graveyard effect. Ha Des' effect is essentially used to prevent your opponent's floating effects from going off.

Note by Destiny Soul:

Destiny Soul

After many attempts I was able to get to KOG with one of my favorite archetypes the Vendread, of course with the help of the Shiranui.

I only use 2 Revendread Slayer because I don't have any more although it would be better if they had 3, this deck needs acceleration so for this work Squire invokes the shiranui tuners just like Solitaire. Squiresaga also helps in the draw by removing Squire that move helped me a lot, in addition Spectralsword Shade when sacrificing it invokes 2 banished monsters which has given me plays to make more combos.

I only use 1 Glow-Up Bloom to make a combo with Slayer and take out Black Rose Dragon to burst the field, besides you have a move for more ritual summons.

A Vendread Nights to bring any Vendread monster you need at the moment either to make spells/traps banishing combos and special summons or for the lack of a ritual monster in hand.
The tech would be the TTH to interrupt the rival's combos.

At first it seems difficult to play Vendread but you get used to it, I did not know so many combos but seeing videos of the plays that other Vendread players make helped me a lot, I tried several deck recipes and this was the one that worked for me, you too you can build your own decklist, you can win with the archetypes you like to play, nothing is impossible just never give up, the Vendread taught me that.
