How to use this deck

General

Des CounterblowEnchanted Javelin

For Destiny Draw decks, the idea behind it is to use the skill multiple times by taking damage and healing up to compensate for the damage taken. Repeat the process until you can finish the duel with your combo. You get to choose what card to draw from your deck during your draw phase if your opponent deals at least 2000 damage to you, regardless whether it is by effect or by battle.

Starting the duel

Enchanted JavelinSupremacy BerryNutrient Z

Starting the duel, if you don't get the cards that you need, simply set/use any healing card that you have. If you don't get a Des Counterblow in your hand, you will need to be more conservative and manage your LP carefully to survive the rounds. It's usually recommended to let Bakura's first attack go through, in case he tribute summons into a Ha Des for your Javelin/Nutrient. You don't need to heal that much if you already have a lot of LP when you are nearing your final turns. This is because sometimes Bakura will not summon and attack with any monsters, which can leave your trap card(s) unused, and you need at least 1 empty spell/trap zone for the last turn.

Destiny Draw

Des CounterblowEnchanted JavelinPot of Benevolence

After you have taken at least 2000 damage, you can use Destiny Draw during your draw phase. Prioritize on getting the cards for your setup, which is Des Counterblow, some healing cards, and Pot of Benevolence to remove Bakura's Necrofear. De-Spell is used to destroy Bakura's Burning Land, while The Golden Apples is good for stalling when he summons his high attack monster. Make sure to not attack Bakura using your monsters to deal battle damage. Finishing the duel with effect damage only will give a bonus.

Priorities

Here are the list of cards you will need during the early turns, with the top having the highest priority and the bottom having the lowest priority:

  • Des Counterblow
  • Enchanted Javelin/Supremacy Berry/Skull-Mark Ladybug
  • Gravedigger Ghoul / Pot of Benevolence
  • Nutrient Z
  • Rain of Mercy/Dian Keto the Cure Master
  • Rest of the unmentioned cards

Using certain cards

The Golden ApplesPot of Benevolence
  • If you don't get a Des Counterblow in your hand, you can use Destiny Draw to take Golden Apples from your deck. It will let you survive for at least a turn, saving your other healing cards and giving you time to get more draws, or use the skill to get a Des Counterblow.
  • If Bakura still has the Destiny Board skill active, and he has 2 Dark Necrofear in the graveyard, you will need to remove both of them to disable the skill.

Final turn

Gravekeeper's VassalAutonomous Action Unit

Summon Vassal and use Secret Pass to the Treasures, as well as double Union Attack. Then special summon Bakura's Dark Necrofear using your Autonomous Action Unit, and attack directly using Vassal. This will deal over 5,000 damage using Vassal. You can bring an additional Autonomous Action Unit, or any other high attack special summon monster, to increase Vassal's attack to reach 10k damage, but it will have a higher risk of getting a bad draw.

For us poor souls who never got a Union Attack (screw you Yugi), could this deck work if you replaced Gravekeper's Vassal and Union Attack with Piranha Army and Riryoku?

It might work, if you have 1 Riryoku, 1 Rising energy, and 1 equip that increases attack by 500 pts for over 9999 damage. 2 riryoku doesn't work. You need Rising Energy on Piranha, unless you are satisfied with over 5000 damage.

I've tried this deck and the winrate is 60-70% though my losses were all misplays on whether I should set the Nutrient or Enchanted better. When I set Nutrient, the opponent spams Ectoplasmer + Doll combo. That sucks tho.

I always set Nutrient if he have 3 monsters in the graveyard. Somehow he always have Dark Necrofear in his hand. The game is rigged I tell you!

Damn, I win but not well farmed. It's a win to deck out. Because of Ectoplasmer spamming and no attacks when 5 cards left.

Isn't the Gravedigger's Ghoul priority is too low in this article? You will not trigger 4 destiny draws in 8 turns because now the AI is somehow a bit passive, especially after you have activated Des Counterblow. It should be second priority IMO.

And even in cases of really bad hand, Gravedigger's Ghoul should have greater priority than Des Counterblow simply because you have higher probability of autodrawing 1 of 3 Des Counterblow than your one and only Gravedigger's Ghoul.

You need to deal with his Sphere Kuribos and E-cons, so you need at least a monster to attack him once in a while, otherwise you will be blocked in the end right?

Gravekeeper Vassal's attack doesn't trigger Sphere Kuriboh and Enemy Controller. 100% of the time for now. Maybe it is a bug, so take the advantage before the new patch comes.

Alright! Thanks for the tip! Great deck by the way.

Gravekeeper Vassal's damage is considered effect damage and not attack damage. This is why it doesn't trigger Sphere Kuriboh or Enemy Controller.

Text from card: "Any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is treated as effect damage instead."

It is just the AI response, Ruben. There is no such thing as the effect of Kuriboh and Econ being useless just because it is an effect damage. It's a monster card, ffs.
