“Nephthys” is an archetype that was originally introduced in the Mini BOX Dawn of Destiny back in July 2017. If we exclude the addition of Dark Nephthys in Primal Burst, this is the first time this archetype is receiving any support, but it's also worth noting that none of these new cards even existed prior to August 2018.
The “Nephthys” archetype, similarly to “Fire King”, primarily focuses on destroying its controller's cards in order to trigger various effects.
This is a pretty standard deck that revolves around Topologic Bomber Dragon and the original Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys with Kozmo Engine Spam, but there are quite a few ways to take advantage of some of these cards.

Devotee is a Level 2 Ritual Monster, so it's quite easy to Summon with Rebirth of Nephthys. Upon being Ritual Summoned, Devotee allows you to Special Summon a “Nephthys” monster from your Deck. You can't Special Summon another Devotee or a Cerulean Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys, but you can Summon Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys or Disciple of Nephthys.
If you do Special Summon a monster from your Deck via this effect, Devotee will be destroyed during the End Phase, which will allow you to activate its second time effect on your next turn.
You can Special Summon Devotee from your Graveyard by destroying a “Nephthys” card in your hand. Use this effect to trigger Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys or Disciple of Nephthys's effect.
 Devotee of Nephthys | WIND Winged Beast ★2 ATK 1200 / DEF 1200 |
| Absolute Inferno [SR] | |
| You can Ritual Summon this card with “Rebirth of Nephthys”. You can only use each of the following effects of “Devotee of Nephthys” once per turn ● If this card is Ritual Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 “Nephthys” monster from your Deck, also destroy this card during the End Phase. ● If this card is in your GY: You can destroy 1 “Nephthys” card in your hand, and if you do, Special Summon this card. | |
 Rebirth of Nephthys | Ritual Spell |
| Absolute Inferno [N] | |
| This card can be used to Ritual Summon any “Nephthys” Ritual Monster. You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. Then, if you Tributed “Devotee of Nephthys” or “Cerulean Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys”, you can destroy 1 card on the field. | |
 Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys | FIRE Winged Beast ★8 ATK 2400 / DEF 1600 |
| Dawn of Destiny [UR] | |
| During your next Standby Phase after this card was destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. When you do: Destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field. | |
Since this card can be easily searched by Disciple of Nephthys and Special Summoned from the Deck via Devotee, it would be better to run just one or two copies of it. Activate Topologic Bomber Dragon's effect to destroy Sacred Phoenix every turn while also destroying any eventual monster they have to continuously wipe away your opponent’s back row.
 Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands | LIGHT Fairy ★4 ATK 1400 / DEF 1000 |
| Maximum Gustav [SR] | |
| When this card is Normal or Flip Summoned: You can add 1 Ritual Monster or 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. | |
To help get a ritual spell or monster from the deck. It's also a level 4, which can be used to ritual summon Devotee of Nephthys in hand, but it's usually just used as a beater or LINK Monster Material instead.
 Disciple of Nephthys | WIND Spellcaster ★2 ATK 0 / DEF 2000 |
| Absolute Inferno [R] | |
| During your Main Phase: You can destroy 1 card in your hand, and if you do, add 1 “Nephthys” monster from your Deck to your hand, except “Disciple of Nephthys”. During the Standby Phase of your next turn after this card was destroyed by a card effect and sent to your GY: You can add 1 “Nephthys” Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Disciple of Nephthys" once per turn. | |
By destroying a card in your hand, Disciple of Nephthys allows you to add another “Nephthys” monster from your Deck to your hand. Disciple of Nephthys can search Devotee of Nephthys, Matriarch of Nephthys, and Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys, so it's actually a superior option compared to Senju of the Thousand Hands.
If you destroy Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys to activate Disciple's effect, it will Special Summon itself from the Graveyard during your next Standby Phase, wiping out all Spell and Trap Cards on the field.
 Matriarch of Nephthys | WIND Spellcaster ★2 ATK 600 / DEF 600 |
| Absolute Inferno [N] | |
| You can target 1 Level 4 or lower “Nephthys” monster in your GY, except “Matriarch of Nephthys”; destroy 1 card in your hand, and if you do, Special Summon that target in Defense Position, but negate its effects.

Cerulean Sacred Phoenix is a 3000 ATK Level 8 monster that you can Summon using the original Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys or, even better, another Cerulean Sacred Phoenix. If you Tribute Cerulean Sacred Phoenix or Devotee of Nephthys with Rebirth of Nephthys, the Ritual Spell will allow you to destroy a card on the field. You can use Chronicler of Nephthys to then get Cerulean Sacred Phoenix and Devotee back to your hand.
Once per turn, Cerulean Sacred Phoenix allows you to destroy any number of “Nephthys” cards in your hand and/or face-up on your side of the field to destroy an equal amount of monsters your opponent controls. You can destroy a face-up Awakening of Nephthys to Special Summon a Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys or one of your Ritual Monsters if they were properly Summoned before.
If it was destroyed by battle or card effect, Cerulean Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys will Special Summon itself from the Graveyard during your next Standby Phase (if it was properly Summoned before). Cerulean Phoenix is essentially a better version of the original Sacred Phoenix: better offensive stats, a better reviving effect and an additional removal effect that has great synergy with the rest of the archetype.
