Megalith: deck recipe [Jul 23]

These cards will help you fetch Ritual monsters, giving you additional resources and adding consistency to your plays.

Senju can search out any piece of your Ritual combo, since the Megalith Ritual monsters also double as their Ritual Spells. After summoning Senju and using its search effect, you can use Senju as ritual fodder.

Megaliths have a unique play-style even among Ritual decks. The Ritual monsters themselves are used as Ritual Spell for other Megalith monsters. The level-8 Megaliths can be discarded to start a Ritual Summon, while the level-4 Megaliths are tributed from the field to start a Ritual Summon. Luckily when using level-4 Megaliths to initiate a Ritual Summon that level-4 will also count as ritual fodder, somewhat mitigating the cost of putting it on the field.

Level-4 Megaliths have the unique effect of letting you Ritual Summon during the opponent's turn. This lets you do disruptive plays such as tagging into Bethor and destroy multiple of your opponent's cards. Or you can tag into another level-4 Megalith to dodge targeting effects.

You want to have level-8 Megalith monsters onhand to start your combos. Here is an example:

1. Summon Senju to search a level-8 (i.e. Bethor) or level-4 (i.e. Ophiel) Megalith whichever you don't have onhand yet. Ideally you should have 2 level-8 and 1 level-4.
2. Discard the Bethor and use Senju as ritual tribute to summon Ophiel.
3. Ophiel searches Hagith. And if you have Portal active, you can retrieve Bethor.
4. Tribute Ophiel to summon Hagith and search Portal. Activate Portal in preparation for your next Ritual Summon which could be during the opponent's turn.

Upon summon Hagith searches your Spell/Traps cards. The Spell/Trap Support for Megalith are actually great for maintaining your resources, and Hagith's search effect lets you mitigate the resources spent summoning it.

Ophiel might be the best of the level-4's because of its ability to search Megalith monsters which is what you use to make most of your plays. Try to summon him as often as possible, but keep in mind the search effect can only be used once per turn.

Unlike Hagith and Ophiel, Och's effect upon summoning does not net you additional resources. But this effect helps you load the graveyard with Ritual monsters to boost Bethor and Phaleg's effect when they eventually get summoned.

Bethor's mass destruction effect is great for setting up OTKs, mid to late Duel this effect can easily clear both the monster and Spell/Trap zones of your opponent.

And because of the level-4 Megaliths' effects you can activate this mass destruction effect on-demand during the opponent's Main Phase, disrupting the board they setup. In this case Bethor acts like a more powerful Treacherous Trap Hole.

Phaleg is a big beater that also turns your other Megaliths into beaters. This lets you OTK after clearing the opponent's field with Bethor. Ideally you can end the Duel by summoning Bethor during the opponent's turn and then summoning Phaleg when your turn comes around.

You can activate the search effect of multiple Level-4 Megaliths without losing resource count. This is because level-4 Megaliths act as both the Ritual Spell and ritual tribute. This lets you summon level-4 Megaliths by only using another level-4 Megalith on your field as cost. This will also load the graveyard in preparation for Bethor or Phaleg's summoning.

For example:

1. Summon Ophiel. Search a Megalith, you can even search the level-4 you want to summon next.
2. Use Ophiel as tribute to summon Hagith. Best to search Portal if you don't have it yet.
3. Use Hagith as tribute to summon Och.

Megalith Spell/Trap cards are used to compensate the resource cost of Ritual Summoning. Megalith Portal lets you recover a Ritual monster from the graveyard after Ritual Summoning a Megalith monster. This can be the level-8 Megalith you discard or level-4 Megalith you tributed to initiate the Ritual Summon.

Ritual Summon a level-4 Megalith using another level-4 Megalith as tribute while Portal is on the field results in a net gain in resources.

Megalith Emergence's best use is to revive level-4 Megaliths and then start a combo with the revived monster.

This card has a powerful multi-card removal effect which can potentially wipe out the enemy field.

Abyss Dweller is an anti-Graveyard interaction tech, intended to hinder Decks that activate a ton of effects from the graveyard. It's best to activate this at the start of the opponent's turn, so make sure to toggle Chain to "ON" and activate Abyss Dweller's effect during the opponent's Draw Phase.

Malevolent Sin is an anti-Xyz tech. Summon Malevolent Sin and use its effect to temporarily banish an enemy Xyz monster. The Xyz monster will return with no materials attached to it.

Roach is great for monster suppresion, much like a Trap Hole card. When your opponent summons a boss monster, use Roach's effect to immediately destroy it. This is an especially good counter against Synchro Decks. But most of the time, just Roach's presence on the field is enough to deter the opponent from making big monsters.

Summon Samurai to deal massive direct damage with his double attack effect.

Diamond Dire Wolf gets rid of itself along with any enemy card. Use this as on-demand removal against a problematic card, or secure your attacks by getting rid of enemy backrow.

Gishki Chain's search effect is inferior to Senju but more searchers means more consistency and resource gain. Arranging the top cards of your deck is also useful for setting up later combos.

You wont really summon Idaten, instead she will be used as ritual tribute, which boosts all the Ritual monsters you control by 1000 ATK. And since most Megaliths have low ATK stats this is needed to put them at decent amounts of ATK.

Maestroke flips monsters face-down, which is a good way of turning off effects and exposing weak DEF stats. It can also spend its materials to protect itself from destruction.

Having this as an option lets you force your opponent into attack position so you can deal some damage and potentially OTK with just 1 attack.
