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.

Cyber Angels killed this deck unfortunately. Phenix is great to clear your opponent backrow. With CA, there is almost no backrow, 2700 beaters AND a "send to the graveyard" effect...

This deck will become more underrated when Horus becomes more popular. Horus absolutely obliterated this deck while I was playing, EVERY time. But not the typical LV Up cards and absolute garbage. But consists of Thinning my deck and leveling up Horus by battling or if a higher monster tries to attack, there's going to be a back row no matter what. Sacred Phoenix destroys backrows when special summoned from the graveyard but still countered(if without the field spell)either one floodgate traphole or an Econ. If you're planning to run this deck in the new Meta, Good Luck.

Got 2800 gems and a finished Hammer shark deck.
I bought 50 packs in order to get SHR.
So i got it + Nephtis. Now, i got no Sphere Kuri...
Should i invest 2800 gems and make a Nephtis deck with no kuribos or wait for meta to change going on with Hammer?

I prefer SRH over SK. Either one will go in any deck like a boss. If you don't have three copies of either, draw for SRH as Dawn of Destiny only has 80 packs. Might want to consider Mirror Wall over SK due to ability to remove badies.
not that good
how can i make more competitive?

I don't see anyone use "regretful rebirth trap"...i find it awsome for this deck.
If used wisely, pheonix can still be destroyed by battle, brought back in defense position, then destroyed at the end of your turn...and then it risis
Also recommend jar of avarice to get pheonix back in your deck(need hand of nephtis for it)
To make it strong i use powerfull equip traps like rising energy/metalmorph

Nah was a single phoenix. Didn't windstorm cus I thought he'd die... either a glitch or a hack surely

How do people ever win with this. Litterally takes 3 turns to get going and you still have no answer to red eyes, which litterally everybody plays at plat or higher. Ice barrier also crushes this deck. Really feel you need to many cards to get the Phoenix on the field and it takes to long. Naturia also seems to destroy this. I really tried and I understand how it is supposed to work but especially red eyes just crushes this deck as they just trigger their traps when Phoenix spawns and then beatdown 🔥 the Phoenix.

Besides Yugioh, I like One Piece. Kurohige is my role model. 659-440-527
Lvl 45 deck name is A Frog's Journey
Can easily be special summoned by mother grizzly.
This card will always deck out superheavy samurai since they don't use spell or traps.
