Nephthys: deck recipe

Duel Links Deck, Dawn of Destiny, Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys, Fire, Best Deck.
update 12/03/2018

Overview

The core strategy of this deck is destroying your own monsters via card effects to trigger their effects. At the center of this deck is Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys which can revive and destroy all spell/trap cards on the field after being destroyed by a card effect. And then there are the Fire King monsters, that quickly can swarm the field and also have great synergy with almost every card in this deck. Goka, the Pyre of Malice and Fire King Island provide support for destroying your own monsters and triggering their effects.

How to use

Add Nephthys to hand

Card of the Soul can search any monster in your deck, but the down side is that the monster has to have a combined attack and defense points equal to your current life points making this card somewhat difficult to use. The best use for Card of the Soul in this deck would be to search for Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys while your life points are still at a full 4000.

Special summon Nephthys

Tribute summoning Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys is not recommended, since destroying him while in your hand is a much quicker and less costly way of summoning him.

Destroy Fire Kings

Fire King monster's effect activates when a monster you control is destroyed by card effects. Their primary effect is always special summoning them form your hand except during the damage step. In addition, they have secondary effects which support their play style.

  • Fire King Avatar Yaksha can destroy another card in your field or hand after he is destroyed. this can trigger the effect of Fire Kings, Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys or other cards you might add to this deck.
  • During the next standby phase after being destroyed by a card effect, Fire King Avatar Barong searches your deck for a Fire King monster and adds it to your hand. Destroying him while in your hand with Fire King Island or Fire King Yaksha is a great way to thin your deck and search for combo pieces.

Goka, the Pyre of Malice is a great card to use in this deck. Normal summon a Fire King monster then special summon Goka to destroy it. This puts a powerful monster on your field while aslo triggering your Fire King's effect, and can also cause other Fire Kings to be special summoned from your hand. You can also use destroy Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys with Goka's effect, giving you two high leveled monsters and clearing your opponent's backrow during your next stanby phase.

How to use (Soul Exchange ver.)

Tribute opponent's monsters

Use Soul Exchange on an opponent's monster to be able to use it as tribute this turn. Summon Hand of Nephthys then activate her effect, using herself and your opponents monster as tribute you can special summon Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys from hand or deck. You can also use Soul Exchange to tribute summon Goka, the Pyre of Malice if you don't have Hand of Nephthys on hand and you need to remove your opponent's monster from the field. Tokens summoned by Goka, the Pyre of Malice can also be used for Hand of Nephthys' effect.

Destroy Nephthys

When Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys is destroyed by a card effect he revives himself during your next standby phase and clears the field of all spell/trap cards. By using cards that take advantage of his effect we are able to continuously clear the enemy's backrow.

THE MIGHTY SPELL CASTER THAT HELPED ME SOLVED MY URGENT CRITICAL RELATIONSHIP PROBLEM.
I dont know how to really thank Dr. Keke Odin for what he did for me. My Name is Anita Kelly from Los Angeles, i was dating this man who i loved very much for over four years now without any problem in our relationship. so at a point he changed so suddenly after returning from the office and started behaving so strangely. it even got to the extent that he told me it was over and i should never call him again. This was a person that loved me with everything that he had. When i told my friend jenny what happened, she introduced me to a great spell caster called DR KEKE ODIN, the chief priest of all spell caster. At first sight this man told me all my problems that it was his secretary that used a charm on him. Dr KEKE ODIN told me not to worry that he will help me solve the problem. The following day, i was in the house in a sober mood when i first received a message from my boyfriend that he was very sorry and before i dropped the phone, he called me again to say he is on his way home and that he was truly sorry for everything. To my greatest surprise, one week later he engaged me and we got married. All Thanks to KEKE ODIN. You can contact him through the following means

What a great joy in my heart to share this to the entire public on how Dr Bleble cured me from herpes1&2 with his herbs, I never believe it will work because the doctors keep saying there is no cure but I was desperate and needed to get this thing out of my body.

I guess some guys got REVERELY REKT by Yubel, so I don't know if they are going to release more support for this one anytime soon lol
Heya
If Konami could just release this card already, the new update in ranked wouldn't hurt this deck that badly DX

What this deck desperate needs in Fire King Avatar Arvata to shut down all the monster effect 🔥 going on (i.e. Sylvans), and Circle of the Fire Kings for more synergy. Fire King High Avatar Garunix would probably be too broken for Duel Links, but those two other cards alone would make this deck Tier 1 or 2 again.

I do agree with you that those cards you mentioned are very good to this deck, but none of them can search nephthys in your deck and special summon it or add it to your hand you know. My point is a decent replacement for Card of the Soul.

Bring 3 Sphere Ebolas and you'll be fine until the turn your "fire turkeys" return and nuke the field.

Was it not considered good if you didn't have goka in the deck?

Does anyone think this deck will become meta again if High Avatar Garunix ever gets added to the game?

If garunix gets added, this deck will probably get abused to hell and back. I don't think they'll add him sadly because of that.

Garunix isn't considered OP. It's fine and needed in order for phoenix deck to competitive again on current meta.

I agree.
Garunix please, Konami!
Nephthys's effect isn't even considered strong anymore, since nowadays you can obtain Vision Hero Witch Raider from a much more useful box (e.g. Canadia), with more ATT, an effect that destroys ONLY your opponent's spells and traps, and can be tribute summoned using TRAP CARDS TOO.

Is there a way to beat this deck consistently? I don't see it much in PvP but I'm worried because I heard SDs use it later on so I'll have to deal with this deck once I get to the last stage levels.
<< Anonymous
Anonymous No. 2 Reply
Trust me. Once you reach that level, it's going to be one of the easiest SD decks to beat. Any 2500+ monster will do, spell destruction spell to destroy Fire King Island, Econ to change Nephthys to defense position once it revives (since it's quick play), super rush headlong, wall of disruption, ... so many ways to counter.

This archetype got a crapload of support yesterday and people are saying its more duel links oriented. so prepare to see this deck return if they bring it over like the furries

What support exactly would that be?
Mourn the Loss
With the LP now being 5K, Cards of the Soul is a dead card, making the deck much less consistent. Until they add support to make the deck viable again, the deck as a whole is now dead.

Learn to read, 5k LP is only for this season.

Is there really no way to use card of soul to get sacred phoenix in pvp anymore? Does it have to equal exactly the amount of attack points of a monster or can it be over the amount as long as it still covers it?

Yeah! I'm just wondering if there could still be some technical loophole and that the card text is leaving something out. It can happen. Remember hallowed life barrier? No need to be a douche!

Your life points have to exactly equal the total of the monster's ATK and DEF points. The 5000 lp change will only be for the 1 month/season.

Seeing Phoenix on tier 4 breaks my heart more than if my girlfriend would break up would. I spend so much time and gems only into building this piece of deck and i wasted so many gems that this is the only real deck i have. :( hope Konami brings out more support and aliens & sylvians stop raping the meta

Just bwcause it said tier 4 doesnt mean you cant get to king of games. All you need it change a few cards and thats all you need, this deck was the first deck to get me to KOG

same for me.
also the only deck I like. hopefully some cards in the future will make it more consistent. My current version runs Berserk and some other stuff for stalling.

I'm still using this deck until last month, but didn't viable much on Legend rank so I've move on to Sylvan.
