The Phantom Knights: deck recipe [May 18]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Works great as a filler since it's a level 3 with a special summon effect.

ATK boost with 500 ATK and 1 time protection from Battle or Card Destruction. It's Grave effect will allows you to revive 1 "The Phantom Knights" monster from your Graveyard by banishing itself which can helps for getting another Xyz Summon with 1 other Phantom Knights monster.

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.

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.

To avoid getting interrupted by your opponent, also decent as a damage step card since the ATK reduction is pretty big.

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 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.

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.

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.

Lets you bypass difficult monsters and deal 2000 damage. Great as a finisher or against stall decks.

Can let you extend your combo so you can perform 2 rank 3 Xyz in a turn.

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.
