Cyber Angel: deck recipe [May 23]

Cyber Angel deck is a very strong f2p deck since most of the cards can be obtained without spending gems unless you want to add the XYZ monsters. It's a ritual deck with a strong boss monster, reliable search effects, and the ability to recycle resources.

The recent release of Dakini from the limited/forbidden list and more XYZ cards added since Cyber Angel's release make Cyber Angel decks a strong contender in the current meta.

Izana is essentially the only card in the deck to deal with an opponent's backrow, but it's not a big issue since she can be easily searched when you need it through Petit Angel, Benten, Senju / Gishki Chain, or return to the hand from grave through Dakini.

Her backrow removal effect is pretty good since it simply sends a spell/trap to the grave regardless if they're face up or down, bypassing certain spell/trap effects that activate when they're destroyed. She also has a partial counter to opponent's targeted effects, allowing her to destroy another card as a quick effect. This makes it good to use if your opponent has at least 2 spells/traps, or 1 spell/trap and another monster. If your opponent ends up activating their backrow and it happens to be something like Forbidden Lance, Izana can activate her effect to destroy any other card your opponent controls.

If your opponent activates a Fiendish Chain when they have 2 backrow cards in response to Izana's first effect, you can activate Izana's quick effect to destroy the chain instead. Once the whole thing resolves, your opponent will end up having to discard the other spell/trap, and your Izana is left unchained. If your opponent doesn't have any other spell/trap other than the chain, you can use Izana's quick effect to destroy your opponent's monster instead.

On top of all the effects, she can also attack multiple times if they destroy monsters. This can really help close out games, especially when her attack is boosted by Idaten.

Dakini is pretty much the deck's main boss monster. Its effect to send your opponent's monster to the grave is non-targeting, essentially bypassing non-targetable monsters, and avoiding certain monster effects that activate when they are destroyed. This effect is especially powerful if your opponent only has their boss monster on the field.

In terms of offensive capabilities, Cyber Angel Dakini has decent ATK and gives all of your Ritual Monsters the ability to deal piercing damage. And for extra resource gain, she also allows you to recover a Ritual Monster or a “Machine Angel Ritual” at the end of every turn.

Sacrificing many of your resources to only have 1 Dakini on the field may seem risky, but if you use Master of Rites II skill, then she is protected from your opponent's monster effects that target. And if you summoned her using Machine Angel Ritual, then she is protected from destruction as well. Just be sure not to take the Machine Angel Ritual from the grave to your hand during your end phase if you only have 1 of it in the grave.

If you use Level Duplication, you can Ritual Summon Dakini by Tributing Cyber Angel Benten or Idaten and then add them back to your hand during your End Phase.

Benten has a decent effect that lets you poke some damage at the opponent. And because her Level matches up with Idaten, she's quite easy to summon with good stats if you need instant field presence. But Benten's best use is to be a ritual tribute, so that you can activate her search effect.

If you have yet to normal summon, the best card to search for is Cyber Petit Angel. This is so that you can search for Dakini, or Machine Angel Absolute Ritual to be able to summon Dakini. This can also help mill out your deck to get to your other pieces easier, but can be risky if you think your opponent has traps to negate Petit Angel's effect.

To maximize your search effects, Ritual Summon Idaten by Tributing Benten. Benten fetches Dakini, while Idaten fetches the Ritual Spell.

If Idaten is Tributed, you can increase the ATK and DEF of all Ritual Monsters you currently control by 1000. This is a huge boost so you should prioritize using Idaten as material especially if you control multiple Ritual monsters. This can be a good way to deal with an opponent's monster if they are unaffected by your cards.

You can recycle Idaten again by using Dakini's end phase effect to take it from the grave. Then keep ritual summoning other monsters by using Idaten to boost your ritual monsters again and again.

To help get a ritual spell or monster from the deck. It's also a level 4, which can be used to ritual summon Idaten or Benten with Petit Angel, Dakini or Izana with another monster in hand, but it's usually just used as a beater or rank 4 Xyz instead.

Ritual Cage from the skill only makes your ritual monsters untargetable from monster effects. There are plenty of dangerous spells/traps like Karma Cut or Book of Moon which will be pretty devastating if you get hit with.

Making your monsters untargetable gives them a high level of protection, allowing you to keep buffing them up with Idaten knowing that they will be much harder to take down. Being a level 3 + usable in the grave is definitely an added bonus.

Cyber Petit Angel is the standard searcher for the Cyber Angel archetype, so running it is naturally a good consistency boost.

If you want to ritual summon Dakini or Izana by using Machine Angel Absolute Ritual, then keep in mind that you need monsters as sacrifice that totals to lvl 8. This means that you need Petit Angel and another lvl 6 ritual monster like Idaten or Benten.

Most of the time you’ll want to use Machine Angel Ritual as soon as possible because it adds an extra layer of protection to your monsters while it’s in your graveyard. However depending on your hand, there will be times when it’s better to search for a Machine Angel Absolute Ritual if it allows you to ritual summon more monsters that turn. MAAR is also more cost efficient because it allows you to use materials from the graveyard.

If you want to summon 2 big boss monsters, ritual summon with MAR using monsters from your field/hand before you ritual summon again with MAAR using monsters from your grave.

Heliopolis can be summoned by using any combination of Izana and Dakini as material, or you can cheese him out with the help of Level Duplication. Its mass destruction effect is really powerful and can easily result in OTKs if you have enough resources. Additionally, the Deck has pretty good resource gain ability, with some monsters that want to be tributed such as Benten and Idaten so the cost isn't much of a problem.

It's definitely an optional card, but can be situationally useful when you want to destroy multiple cards your opponent controls.

Ptolemy can be used as single-target non-destruction removal. Alternatively, you can use it to recover a card from your graveyard. Both effects make Ptolemy a versatile addition to your Extra Deck.

Usually, the way to summon this is by summoning Idaten or Benten with Machine Angel Ritual, then another Idaten/Benten with Absolute Ritual using monsters from your grave as the cost.

Summon Strike Bounzer early game if you want to stop your opponent from making their opening combos. Negate combo starters like The Phantom Knights Deck and Odd-Eyes Deck. This can throw them off pace for the rest of the Duel if they don't have any good comeback options.

Malevolent Sin is an anti-Xyz tech. Summon Malevolent Sin and use its effect to temporarily banish an enemy Xyz monster. The Xyz monster will return with no materials attached to it.

Similar to Dakini, Malevolent Sin is pretty good when your opponent only has 1 main boss monster on their field. This effect can help close out games, or temporarily banish a dangerous monster.

Mostly an optional card since this deck and playstyle rarely has 2 level 4 monsters on the field to Xyz.

To destroy your opponent's backrow so you can more safely attack your opponent.

Sanaphond's below average ATK stat can easily be mitigated by its inherent
stat boost putting it near 3000 ATK, especially if there's already some graveyard setup on both sides. Additionally, Sanaphond is able to protect itself from effect destruction while also locking out revival effect. This won't be a problem for you because this Deck doesn't run any revival.

Sword Breaker can be very powerful against single-type Decks such as Blue-Eyes. Keep in mind this effect last as long as Sword Breaker is face-up so your opponent will be forced remove Sword Breaker via effect.

Ritual Cage prevents your Ritual Monsters from being targeted or destroyed by monster effects, protecting them from stuff like Desperado Barrel Dragon.

Upon summon, Gishki Chain fetches a card you need to make your Ritual play. And if there was another important card you excavated but could not fetch, you can arrange it to be your next draw. This makes Gishki Chain a pretty good consistency booster.

• When Senju of the Thousand Hands is Normal or Flip Summoned, it allows you to add a Ritual Monster from your Deck to your hand. Normal Summon Senju and search Cyber Angel Izana, Dakini, Benten or Idaten.
• When Sonic Bird is Normal or Flip Summoned, it allows you to add a Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. Normal Summon Sonic Bird and search Machine Angel Absolute Ritual or Machine Angel Ritual.

Merciful Machine Angel is great for cycling through your Deck so that you can get to the combo pieces you need. Ideally, you tribute Benten for cost so that you simultaneously get to use her search effect. You can also tribute Idaten to give all your face-up Ritual monsters a huge ATK boost.

If you find that this card often bricks your deck, you can switch it out for something like Sprite's Blessing.

If you find that the deck needs more ritual spells, you can put more in the deck by using Sprites Blessing. The main downside to this is that the levels of total materials will need to be EXACTLY what the ritual monster you want to summon.

This has more value if you have different ritual monsters that use different ritual spells, which isn't really an issue in this deck.

Since you can only use Utopia Ray's effect when down to your last 1000 LP, he is best used to clutch the game. The ATK manipulation can help you get rid of a powerful enemy monster and deal massive damage. Keep in mind this effect can be activated multiple times per turn as long as you have the materials.

Either this or Photon Strike Bounzer to have some form of control. Negating monster effects will often times be able to stop further combos from your opponent, so it can be worth it to consider bringing.

Like most Decks that run Rank-5s and 6s, Gaia Dragon is a good Extra Deck addition. Put it on top of any eligible Xyz monster that has spent all its materials. (except Sword Breaker)

Merciful Machine Angel is a good draw card, but you're usually taking a loss each time you activate it. Emeral is arguable a more efficient draw engine, that also lets you recycle your single copy of Dakini.
