Bujin: Deck Recipe [Nov 18]

“Bujin” is an archetype of Level 4 LIGHT monsters that are mostly based on Japanese folklore. There are four Beast-Warrior-Type monsters in this archetype and they are the primary focus of any “Bujin” deck.

The Winged Beast and Beast-Type monsters (“Bujingi”), are generally used to protect the Beast-Warrior-Type ones or to destroy cards on the opponent’s side of the field; Beast-Type “Bujingi” monsters can activate their effects only while they are in the Graveyard by being banished, whereas the Winged Beast ones can only do it while they are in the hand by being discarded.

There are two main ways to run this deck: the standard 20 cards version, which relies mostly on Bujin Yamato to fill the Graveyard with Beast-Type “Bujingi” monsters.

These monsters are very important because controlling one of them face-up on the field is usually the minimum requirement for the activation of the effects of the Beast and Winged Beast-Type ones.

If you did not start with Bujin Yamato, you can use Ties of the Brethren to Special Summon it from the Deck at the cost of 2000 Life Points. It may seem like a hefty cost, but it does also allow you to activate Destiny Draw on the next turn.

During your End Phase, Bujin Yamato allows you to add a “Bujin” monster from your Deck to your hand and then send a card from your hand to the Graveyard.

This card can search your Beast-Type “Bujin” monsters and put them straight into the Graveyard, where they have to be for their effects to be activated, it can add Bujingi Crane to your hand, ready to be used during the opponent’s turn, or it can search another Beast-Warrior-Type “Bujin” monster like Bujin Mikazuchi, Bujin Arasuda or even another Bujin Yamato.

Needless to say, Bujin Yamato is a key component of this deck and a card you definitely want to have three copies of, despite the fact that you can only control one.

Bujin Mikazuchi, similarly to Bujin Arasuda, can be Special Summoned from the hand if a Beast-Warrior-Type “Bujin” monster is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard. The second part of the effect of Mikazuchi, as I said, doesn’t really matter, but it has synergy with Bujin Yamato, Bujin Arasuda and all of the Winged Beast-Type “Bujin” monsters.

Hirume's summoning makes use of Bujins in the graveyard with no graveyard effect. Decent base stats and a floating effect that rips a card from the opponent's hand.

Bujingi Crane is a great Hand Trap that can be used during either player's turn to double the ATK of one of your Beast-Warrior-Type “Bujin” monster, but you might be wondering how exactly it is better than Bujingi Sinyou, as they have very similar effects afterall.

Bujingi Sinyou’s effect can only be activated from the Graveyard, which makes it very predictable, and, as a drawback, it also halves all damage inflicted during the battle it is used in; while I don’t really see the second part as that big of an issue, you have to admit that having something available that your opponent doesn’t necessarily know of is very appealing.

Remember that, when you add a card from the Deck to the hand with Bujin Yamato's effect, you also have to reveal it, which means that your opponent will always know what you decided to pick and will try to play around it. This is good because, if you added Bujingi Crane to your hand, the opponent will likely not attack you until he has a follow-up play available, but even starting off with Crane or drawing it later is great because it will be unexpected.

Another thing that really sets Bujingi Crane apart from Bujingi Sinyou is the fact that its effect can be activated during damage calculation rather than during the Damage Step, which means outside of the window of opportunity within which cards like Forbidden Chalice and Mirror Wall can be used.

Keep in mind that Bujingi Crane turns the ATK of your monster into double its original ATK: if a Field Spell or an Equip Spell is currently affecting the monster, it will be ignored.

Sinyou's effect practically guarantees your monster will win the battle similar to Crane's effect. However, Sinyou will most likely only be used when you declare battle, since your opponent will not attack you with Sinyou in the graveyard.

Similarly to Bujingi Centipede, Bujingi Quilin can be banished from your Graveyard during your Main Phase to target and destroy a face-up card your opponent controls, it can be useful against Masked HERO, as it forces the opponent to activate Mask Change, or even against Blue-Eyes and Vampire.

Prevents OTKs while loading a Bujingi into the graveyard.

Bujingi Hare prevents a Beast-Warrior-Type “Bujin” from being destroyed. This protects against the most common form of removal.

Similar to Hare, Turtle is used to protect a Bujin monster. Turtle protects against targeting effects which are very common. Notably you want to protect against Fiendish Chain.

Their main purpose is to simply mill cards from your deck to fuel the grave. This can let you summon your monsters more safely if you have cards like Hare or Turtle, or to just have any Bujin in the grave to special summon Hirume for more combo plays.

This helps destroy your opponent's spell/trap or to force them to use it. Main downside is that it will end up in defense position after the activation and that the milling only happens in the end phase.

If you don't want to play Lyla, you can put more Raiden in the deck instead. Raiden lets you mill cards before the end of the turn, allowing you to extend some plays through Hirume, plus get more milling in the end phase.

It's also a tuner, and the Bujin monsters are all level 4, making it a versatile card since you can use it to synchro into a level 8 or make a rank 4.

Searcher for the Lightsworn monsters, which will also mill cards from your deck in the process.

If you have Tenki and Charge of the Light Brigade in hand, make sure to search for what you want/need first with Tenki to prevent bad mills.

Beast Warrior Bujins are some of the most important monsters to this Deck so having Tenki fetch them is good for boosting consistency.

Bujincarnation essentially puts 2 Bujin monsters on the field for free, making it perfect for setting up an Xyz summon. Bujingi monsters are quite self-sufficient at loading your graveyard and banish zone so you'll always have monsters to Special Summon.

Usable in the deck since all of the Bujin (and Lightsworns) are LIGHT attributes. It's useful to negate strong boss monsters or get over high ATK ones, giving the deck some OTK potential.

You'll usually want to use Amaterasu's effect on your turn to extend your field and possibly make more Xyz monsters. The effect activated during your opponent's turn isn't immediately useful because mostly likely you'll still need to get that monster into the graveyard to use its effect, still it's one of the few ways you can recover your banished cards.

Bujintei Tsukuyomi cycles Bujingi into the graveyard and refreshes your resources onhand.

Generally useful rank 4 to deal with strong boss monster, especially if it's an XYZ monster since it will also remove their materials.

The multi-attack effect is great for dealing a ton of damage. The search effect lets you search Bujingi for a number of possible effects. Most notably you can fetch Sinyou or Crane to attack over stronger enemy monsters.

If a “Bujin” monster in your Graveyard or face-up on the field is banished, you can Special Summon Bujin Arasuda from your hand; considering the fact that all Beast-Type monsters of this archetype have to be banished from the Graveyard in order to activate their effects, you are going to be able to do this quite often.

While it’s true that, with Amazons being gone, this particular effect may have lost a bit of significance, Spellbook of Fate is still a thing and being able to get another monster on the field after your Bujin Yamato is banished, is great.

Once per turn, if a “Bujin” card was added from your Deck to your hand outside of your Draw Phase, during the End Phase, Bujin Arasuda allows you to draw a card and then discard a card. This effect gives Bujin Arasuda great synergy with both Bujin Yamato and Bujin Mikazuchi, but, since we don’t run any “Bujin” Spell/Trap Cards in this version of the deck, the latter doesn’t actually matter.

Helps as an anti backrow card, but needing a Bujin monster on the field can make it a little slow, especially since most commonly used dangerous spells/traps will just stop your Bujin monster on the field before you activate this. But it's still a decent option to have if you already have a monster on the field before you do another summon.

Battlin Boxer Veil can protect you from a ton of damage as long as it isn't lethal. The inherent Special Summoning effect means that Battling Boxer Veil can catch a following attack to protect you further. Or, if he survives till your turn you can use him as Xyz material, pairing perfectly with your other Level-4 monsters.

Additionally, your Deck doesn't have much in terms of field swarming so Tensu can help you build some field presence. You can even use the Extra Normal Summon to go into an Xyz play.
