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.

card of the soul is a dead card once if you don'T draw it onyl your first turn since you usually won't have 4000 hp then... lost quite a few duels because of this. Any way to work around that?

When it comes to cards like Card/Soul & Soul Exchange, you always want 1 less than the maximum of your key card to prevent dead hands. It also frees you up for more defensive cards...or just use cards like Tribute to the Doom to get rid of them.

e high tide on fire island so you can use it as a discard once it becomes useless. But I don't even use it and my phoenix deck is just fine. I recently am trying a destruct potion. Its working ok, but I think I might trash it soon.

Just got KoG Reply
I dont think it works with 1 phoenix. I hope it does but i dont think so. I have 3 tribute to the doomed as well as 3 super rush headlong but one phoenix. I start to regret resetting early when I realise that I am capable to make this deck when the only pieces I miss are 2 more phoenixs. T.T
your bestfriend
Is this good enough?
give some advice.

Just because a FKI wasn't made for Nepthys doesn't mean it's not essential. Like, Treeborn Frog wasn't made for Monarchs, yet it is essential. Jowls of Dark Demise isn't made for Mill decks, yet it is essential for Mill decks, etc.

Too many Anons... then only replying to the last one as the first two seem chill.

- You are confusing Essential for Handy. Treeborn works with Monarch because they get along just fine w/o a Backrow & Jowls is in NO WAY necessary for Milling. Never ever seen it in Mills b4 Duel Links and it's likely staying that way.

These situations aren't comparable to Nephtys', where it's effect can & WILL backlash the unprepared. Granted, it took some convincing to learn&test how Phoenix CAN get around it, but that even more says that FKI isn't meant to be played w/ Nephtys, just that you can get around the negatives.

So once again: Not saying don't use FK Island because it's not USEFUL, but don't RELY on it so hard.
phoenix
Even mirror force's added to the game. This deck still be in the top tier

Restart or Beatdown, thoughts? Which do you guys recommend? Thanks! :)

Beatdown if you believe in your luck. Restart if you dont.

Don't use restart! Idk why people think this skill is good... You usually get a worst hand the second time. You should 100% use balamce instead of restart!

For ypur questiom, I think beat down is very situational and will only work when the Phoenix is on the field. But, because you should destroy it every time you can, you end up not using the skill that often, so I would recommend balance

Thanks for the help, I will try Balance :)

I'm already kog and I use beatdown. The main reason is because with beatdown, you can even overpower red eyes or blue eyes. It's not situational at all. You just have to play this deck properly and you'll see that beatdown will save your 🔥 so many times against anything. The issue with restart is it will make you skip your battle phase (bc your biggest dude in this deck has only 2400 atk).

i build this deck but i am still in legend rank 3 damned king of game its hard!

guys if you wana high chance if wining use restart.
