How to use this deck

Board control

The main aspect of this deck is field control, all cards in this deck are either used to remove cards form the field, to prevent attacks or to pin down cards.

  • Guardian Statue can activate and flip summon, returning your opponent's monster back to their hand, enabling an easy direct attack.
  • Sergeant Electro is used to lock the opponent's spell/traps, which might be better than destruction since it clogs their backrow.
  • Special summon Lava Golem when you want to get rid of your opponent's monster. It's effective when used as a surprise, after your opponent has used up their resources to summon their monsters.

Using the skill

Use Paradox Brother's skill "Guardian Call" to get Guardian Statue from your deck. It can only be used once your LP is decreased by at least 1800. Useful if you don't get to draw any monster, but it can only be used once per duel. You can also reduce your own LP by using Mirror Wall. Activate it during your opponent's end phase, and pay the 2000 LP cost during your standby phase, allowing you to use the skill on main phase.

Card Guard

Safety Walls

Wall of Disruption and Mirror Wall can be used to protect your monster, and destroy your opponent's monster as well.

  • Activate Mirror Wall to halve the attack of your opponent's monster during battle. This would almost always destroy your opponent's monster if they attack into your Sergeant Electro, or any other monster with at least 1500 attack.
  • Wall of Disruption is very effective when your opponent has multiple monsters on the field. This will permanently reduce their attack, allowing you to deal almost direct damage if their attack goes down to 0. If you think your opponent has no higher level monster to tribute summon, you can also stall the duel by not destroying them so they can't summon new monsters.

Protecting your Monsters

Use spell/trap cards to protect your monsters and maintain control of the field.

  • Curse of Anubis can be used if your opponent activates Wall of Disruption when you attack. This will stop your attack, preventing you from taking damage and getting your monster destroyed.
  • Floodgate Trap Hole to flip your opponent's monster to face down. They won't be able to attack and activate their effect. Helps against powerful high level cards, or even Kaibaman, or Silent Magician LV4 so that they can't be used to special summon stronger monsters.

Half Shut
Half Shut
This will ensure your Guardian Statue will survive any attack.
Attack the Moon!
Attack the Moon!
Good synergy with Guardian Statue allows it's effect to be used every turn.
Interdimensional Matter Transporter
Interdimensional Matter Transporter
A really good defensive card to make sure Guardian Statue doesn't get targeted by anything, but it requires the card to be face-up.
Adhesion Trap Hole
Adhesion Trap Hole
This is effective if you put Guardian Statue face-down often. Only monster with 2800+ attack can get over Guardian Statue's defense.
A Feint Plan
A Feint Plan
Since this deck revolves around Guardian Statue this card can be considered the best support card for this deck.

Godbless the one who created this, on my e
road to KoG, this was the easiest deck to beat, just AMR and OTK.

This deck is one of the best if you want to win, but it's also one of the most boring to play / play against... Nothing happen on the field. Nothing.

Awesome deck

I've been using this version of statue control and it's gotten me to Legend Rank 1 so far (Aug 23). I don't have a 3rd Heavy Knight yet, or a 3rd Mirror Wall. I also replaced Magical Arm Shield because it was rarely useful to me. I like having Sphere Ebola in this deck. Swift Gaia is 50/50. It's great later in game, but I feel it's a dead draw sometimes.

Probably the best deck i've played with so far.(and i've played with almost all the tier1 decks). Easily KoG and keeps winning at KoG aswell. Crazy control

The example deck fails when opponent has mask of the accurse, can not get rid of it since there are no s/t removal in the example deck or any tribute summons.

"That's right, kids" is a figure of speech. Should I have said "That's right, folks" instead? Or would you have simply proceeded to say "I think you're the folk here"? as if that would have been some clever 🔥? Regardless... using "kid" as an 🔥 seems pretty pointless considering we are discussing a children's card game.

I focus on lock my opponent's whit guardian statue and traps. So why not. It maybe better.
Just got to KoG
Such a great deck, I just removed a Heavy Knight, Electro and Wall for 2 Big Shield Gardna (they never expect it in higher ranks and give you an easy 600-1000 dmg on them, works so great with Super Rush too, they take dmg and then next card dies)
Also I added a half shut.

lol Anyone throw 3 Econ, 3 mirror wall and 3 headlong into any deck and it can be competitive....

Most of you are actually just bad at the game if you think a deck is easy to play because it has a lot of URs and SRs. The deck is fairly cheap too, so I don't see how you need a huge wallet for it.

Half of you whining about how the deck requires no skill could probably shovel all the money in the world into making a deck, but still be trash at the game. This is easily one of the most skillful meta decks in the game, if not the most skillful right now. Unlike Nephtys turbo and Red-Eyes decks, this deck only puts one monster on a board at a time. If you summon or set the wrong monster, too early or too late, it could cost you the game. If you make one wrong move, it could easily cost you the game as well. This deck is not easy to play whatsoever, especially when cards like Champion's Vigilance and SRHL are being played in every deck left and right. Every play needs to be calculated, otherwise you'll get no further with this deck than you would any 🔥-tier Gold deck.

You can replace 1 or 2 mw and 3 sr out a 80 card pack isnt too hard just reset is after you get any sr and with a little luck youll easily get 3 before youve opened 80 packs on that pack

Mirror wall is the hardest card to get now days, since you would have to spend a lot of gems in a crap pack, neo impact now days only have 4 or 5 carde than are ok, senju, magician circle and MW, then new packs changed the game 80%

Yes, but keep in mind the golden rule if you are F2P-- focus on building one deck at a time, in order to conserve gems. So if you plan on building this deck, you only need to open one main box, and everything else you can grab from mini boxes, which is significantly less gems than you'd spend on other decks. Plus, you can play 2-3 Mirror Wall, you don't even need three.

This deck is a great example of someone with a huge wallet, and a tiny brain.

ya cus thinning your deck to 7 cards turn 1 and having 2-3 red eye spirits set (and sometimes even CV depending on the variant!) is definitely very fair and fun to play against
