Gouki: deck recipe [June 3 Updated]

Most of the Gouki monsters are used as beaters. Normal Summon Suprex to swarm the field. Riscorpio can be Normal Summoned without tribute if you control a Gouki monster, but it is quicker to Special Summon him with Suprex.

Twistcobra is a good monster to Special Summon with Suprex to prepare its effect. Twistcobra can tribute Suprex to boost his own ATK above most monsters. As a quick effect this can be done during your opponent's turn to disrupt an opponent's attack, and can also be done to make use of a Gouki targeted by your opponent's effect. Twistcobra's effect can be used to trigger Goukis' search effect, so it can be worth keeping him on the field.

Gouki Iron Claw is different from other Gouki because you do not want him on the field, instead you want to keep him in your hand where he can make use of his effect. The ATK boost is good for attacking over slightly stronger monsters, but the effect immunity is much more useful because it allows you to ignore battle traps such as Sea Stealth Attack.

Ballista Squad removes an opponent's card from the field while also activating your Gouki search effect. Use a Gouki about to be removed by your opponent's effect as tribute to waste their removal. Ballista Squad is also one of the ways this Gouki deck can deal with your opponent's backrow.

This Gouki deck has a very straightforward beatdown play style. To compliment this play style we also use control cards that hinder your opponent from using their effects.
This deck doesn't interact with the graveyard in any way, so Necrovalley will only serve to prevent your opponent from interacting with their graveyard.
Fiendish Chain shuts down monster effects which helps deal with your opponent's combo starter and boss monster. It also prevents your opponent's monster from attacking if you want to use Fiendish Chain as a battle trap.
This Gouki deck is also very susceptible to Fiendish Chain, but that can be dealt with by Cosmic Cyclone and Ballista Squad.

Psychic Wheeleder is a great Tuner to use in a synchro variant of Gouki decks. You can Special Summon Wheeleder from your hand by just controlling Twistcobra and make level-6 Synchros. Normal Summon Suprex and use his effect to Special Summon Twistcobra, then Special Summon Wheeleder with its own effect and now you have access to level-6 and level-7 Synchro plays. Occasionally you can pair Wheeleder with Riscorpio to access the wide pool of level-8 Synchros, but generally your Extra Deck should contain more level-6 and 7 Synchros.

As a bonus, using Wheeleder and a Gouki monster as synchro material lets you activate the Gouki search effect and Wheeleder's removal effect. Overall netting you great card advantage.

When you do summon a level-8 monster, Scrap Dragon is a good choice. If you use one of your Gouki monsters for its removal effect, you essentially get to destroy an opponent's card while also getting a search effect.

Because of your Gouki monsters' and Psychic Wheeleder's attribute, you get access to the Naturia Synchros for negation effects. Since you do not interact with your graveyard, Naturia Barkion is a good way to negate your opponent's Trap cards. Additionally, being a level-6 Synchro monster it can easily be made with Twistcobra and a Special Summoned Wheeleder. However, because of his effect cost he will not be useful while Necrovalley is on the field.

Brionac is a generic level-6 monster you can go into for a removal effect. Using Brionac's removal can become costly when trying to get rid of multiple cards so only use it on your opponent's boss monsters and Extra Deck monsters, and sometimes on some of their backrow.

A boss monster that cannot be targeted cannot be removed by Brionac. In this case you can summon Psyhemuth to do the removing, but this will also weaken your field presence.

Any deck that can easily make level-7 Synchros should toolbox Black Rose Dragon. The ideal time to summon Black Rose Dragon when your opponent has a much greater field presence over you. If you want a level-7 beater, Samurai Destroyer is arguably the best. It prevents your opponent from activating effects when it battles, shutting down battle traps. Additionally, Samurai Destroyer offers some utility by turning off the battled monster's floating effects.
