Phantom Strategy Send 1 "The Phantom Knights" monster from your hand to the Graveyard. Then, add 1 "Phantom Knights Fog Blade" the very bottom of your Deck from outside of your Deck. During the turm you activate this Skill, you cannot Special Summon Rank 4 or above monsters unless are DARK Warior-Type or DARK Dragon-Type monsters. This Skill can be used if you begin the Duel with a Deck (excluding Extra Deck) that contains no monsters other than DARK Warrior-Type monsters. This Skill can only be used once per Duel. | ![]() Yuto |
The deck's main play involves going into a rank 3 to make Break Sword. The main deck monsters are all level 3 with a search or special summoning effect so you can do this.
With the help of the skill, you can send Cloak (or Gloves -> Cloak) to search for Boots to help with making a rank 3. Alternatively, you can also use Gloves to send Sword or Fog Blade (that's added with the skill) to the grave to special summon a monster from the grave, but it's generally better to add the Fog Blade to hand since it's a useful disruption card.
Once you can make a rank 3, you can go into Break Sword for a card removal effect. Destroying itself will allow you to follow up into a rank 4, becoming Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon or any other rank 4 Xyz like Malevolent Sin.
Just keep in mind that Break Sword can only special summon Phantom Knight monsters, so this isn't an auto combo if you needed to use Kagemucha Knight as a filler. Additionally, if you used the skill, you won't be able to make a generic rank 4 Xyz as a follow-up.
![]() The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak | DARK Warrior ★3 ATK 800 / DEF 1000 |
Phantom of Rebellion [UR] | |
If this card is in Attack Position: You can target 1 DARK monster on the field; change this card to Defense Position, and if you do, that monster gains 800 ATK and DEF until the end of your opponent's turn. You can banish this card from your Graveyard; add 1 "The Phantom Knights" card from your Deck to your hand, except "The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak". You can only use each effect of "The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak" once per turn. |
Its on-field effect is used if you already have a strong monster on the field and it's to help you beat over high ATK monsters. Together with Ragged Gloves, you can increase a rank 3/4 Xyz monster by +1800 ATK.
The graveyard effect is very useful since you can use it to search for what you need. Boots can special summon itself to help make a rank 3 Xyz, while Gloves is if you already have Boots and have yet to normal summon.
![]() The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves | DARK Warrior ★3 ATK 1000 / DEF 500 |
Yuto at Lvl 10, 18, and 25 [UR] | |
A DARK Xyz Monster that was Summoned using this card on the field as an Xyz Material gains this effect. ● If it is Xyz Summoned: It gains 1000 ATK.You can banish this card from your Graveyard; send 1 "Phantom Knights" card from your Deck to the Graveyard. You can only use each effect of "The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves" once per turn. |
Useful in the hand as the monster that's normal summoned with another special summon to make a rank 3 with the ATK boost.
The graveyard effect is pretty versatile since it can send phantom knight's related cards. This ultimately lets you search for a monster/spell through Cloak or Boots, or special summon a monster from the grave by sending a Trap.
![]() The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots | DARK Warrior ★3 ATK 200 / DEF 1200 |
Phantom of Rebellion [SR] | |

You can banish this card from your Graveyard; add 1 "Phantom Knights" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots" once per turn. |
Special summonable so you can make a rank 3, or to just be used as sacrifice fodder for your Break Sword's effect. Once it's in the grave, you can search for Fog Blade so you can potentially stop your opponent's plays.
![]() Kagemucha Knight | DARK Warrior ★3 ATK 0 / DEF 0 |
Arts of Atlantis [SR] | |
When you Normal Summon a Level 3 monster: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster. |
Works great as a filler since it's a level 3 with a special summon effect.

Can protect your monster or as a damage calculation trap to catch your opponent's off guard. Additionally, it can also be used in the grave to special summon a Phantom Knights monster in your grave.
You can reliably send this to the grave with Gloves or add it to the hand with Boots.
![]() Book of Moon | Quick Spell |
Chaotic Soldiers [UR] Selection Box Vol.04 [UR] | |
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; change that target to face-down Defense Position. |
Useful disruption tool to stop your opponent, but can also be used on your own monsters to avoid certain cards like Karma Cut or Floodgate Trap Hole.
![]() Forbidden Lance | Quick Spell |
Valhalla Calling [UR] Selection Box Vol. 02 Mini [UR] | |
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; until the end of this turn, that target loses 800 ATK, but is unaffected by the effects of other Spell/Trap Cards. |
To avoid getting interrupted by your opponent, also decent as a damage step card since the ATK reduction is pretty big.
![]() Trishula, the Dragon of Icy Imprisonment | WATER Dragon ★9 ATK 2700 / DEF 2000 |
Arena of Sanctuary [UR] | |
3 monsters with different names Must first be either Fusion Summoned using only monsters in your hand and/or field, or Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) by banishing the above cards you control (in which case you do not use "Polymerization"). If this card was Special Summoned using only monsters that were originally Dragons: You can reveal and banish 3 cards (1 from your Deck, 1 from the top of your opponent's Deck, and 1 from their Extra Deck). You can only use this effect of "Trishula, the Dragon of Icy Imprisonment" once per turn. |
When summoned, Trishula's only purpose would be as a beater. The main reason you would want to make him is to unclog your field, removing monsters afflicted with negative effects such as Floodgate Trap Hole.
![]() The Phantom Knights of Break Sword | DARK Warrior ★3 ATK 2000 / DEF 1000 |
Phantom of Rebellion [SR] | |
2 Level 3 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 card you control and 1 card your opponent controls; destroy them. If this Xyz Summoned card is destroyed: You can target 2 "The Phantom Knights" monsters with the same Level in your Graveyard; Special Summon them and increase their Levels by 1, also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except DARK monsters. |
The main starter boss of the deck. It has a card removal effect that almost works like Diamond Dire Wolf and a rank-up effect that works differently than just adding a higher rank on top of it.
You can use its effect to destroy your other Phantom Knight card so you can activate them in the graveyard, or simply destroy itself so you can bring back 2 Phantom Knights monsters so you can Xyz into a rank 4.
It's recommended to go after backrows first since it will be a huge problem if the monsters you special summoned get stopped by something like Floodgate Trap Hole or even Book of Moon.
![]() Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon | DARK Dragon ★4 ATK 2500 / DEF 2000 |
Phantom of Rebellion [UR] | |
2 Level 4 monsters You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes half its current ATK, and if it does, this card gains that lost ATK. |
Its effect essentially lets you deal 2500 (its own ATK) damage if this attacks the monster you targeted. The advantage is that your opponent's monster's ATK is also lowered, allowing you to attack over it with your other weaker monsters.
![]() Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss | DARK Fiend ★3 ATK 1000 / DEF 2500 |
Fantastic Arc [UR] | |
2 Level 3 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and choose a number from 1 to 3, then send that many cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard; until the end of this turn, this card gains 500 ATK for each card sent to the Graveyard this way. If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Burning Abyss" card in your Graveyard, except this card; add it to your hand. |
One of the better Xyz to go into if you get first turn since you want to detach a PK card to activate in the grave, which you can't do with Break Sword if your opponent isn't using any skill that puts a card on their field.
There aren't any other synergy since there aren't any Burning Abyss in the deck, so it's not a safe monster to just summon and end the turn on. You'll want to make sure you can at least get Boots into the grave so you can add Fog Blade to your hand.
![]() Number 47: Nightmare Shark | WATER Fish ★3 ATK 2000 / DEF 2000 |
Reginald Kastle Unlock Event [UR] | |
2 Level 3 monsters When this card is Special Summoned: You can attach 1 Level 3 WATER monster from your hand or your side of the field to this card as an Xyz Material. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 WATER monster you control; this turn, that monster can attack your opponent directly, also other monsters cannot attack. |
Lets you bypass difficult monsters and deal 2000 damage. Great as a finisher or against stall decks.
![]() Leviair the Sea Dragon | WIND Sea Serpent ★3 ATK 1800 / DEF 1600 |
Voltage of the Metal [UR] | |
2 Level 3 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 banished Level 4 or lower monster; Special Summon that target to your side of the field. |
Can let you extend your combo so you can perform 2 rank 3 Xyz in a turn.
![]() Number 70: Malevolent Sin | DARK Insect ★4 ATK 2400 / DEF 1200 |
Photons of Galaxy [SR] | |
2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; banish it until your opponent's next Standby Phase. At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked: You can make this card gain 300 ATK, and if you do, increase its Rank by 3. |
Works great when your opponent only has 1 monster on the field, potentially giving you an OTK chance. Also works well against Xyz monsters since this will remove their materials.
Keep in mind that if you use the skill, you can't use Break Sword's effect to special summon 2 PK to the field to Xyz into this because of the skill's restriction. But on any other turn, this is a pretty great combo since you can use Break Sword to destroy a backrow and then follow it up with Malevolent Sin to banish your opponent's monster so you can attack directly.
Noted By Morandos:
Phantom Knights love to break boards and use your opponent's strong monsters against them going second with protection from forbidden lance and cosmic cyclone. As well as a strong going first setup with 2-3 backrow including fog blade, and amazing follow up for turn 3.
