Altergeist Synchro: deck recipe [Nov 2020]

The deck mainly runs Trap monsters which can fairly easily swarm the field without using up your Normal Summon. Throw in a couple of Tuners in the Deck to pair with your Trap monsters and make Synchro plays.

Psychic Wheeleder's inherent Special Summoning condition allows for quick Synchro plays. In decks that don't run a lot of level-3 monsters, Wheeleder's Special Summoning condition can still be fulfilled by the Skill Level Duplication. Copy Wheeleder's Level onto a non-Tuner on the field then Special Summon Wheeleder.

The removal effect is essentially activated for free so it's great utility when using Wheeleder as a Tuner.

Lamia's inherent Special Summoning effect won't be of much use in this Deck, but she is still worth running due to her effect when used as Synchro material. Special Summon your Trap monster and Normal Summon Lamia, then use both monsters to make a Synchro. Lamia's effect will activate and let you reduce two enemy monster ATKs to 0.

Upon Normal Summoning, Marionetter fetches and sets Emulatelf. Marionetter is also your in-archetype revival card, letting you revive Fifinellag to get a Tuner on board. Both of these are good reasons to run max copies of Marionetter.

Fifinellag mainly is run due to being a Tuner that Marionetter can revive. The protection effect is very minimal, but can be decent if you're able to protect a bigger Altergeist like Dragvirion

Emulatelf is also mainly run due to the lack of other Altergeist Traps for Marionetter to search. Emulatelf's second effect can be entirely ignore, the way it's played in this Deck is as a searchable Level-4 synchro material.

Because the only somewhat usable Altergeist Trap currently is a Trap monster, the best way to build an Altergeist deck is to use it as an Extra Deck spamming Trap monster deck.

Tribute Dragvirion and force your opponent to tribute one of their monsters. Dragvirion will revive itself while the opponent's monster won't. And since this is a tribute, floating effects are unlikely to be triggered.

The downside is your opponent will be the one deciding which of their monsters gets removed. But occasionally you can catch the opponent's boss monster alone on the field.

Enemy Controller's second effect lets you tribute Dragvirion to take an enemy monster. Dragvirion gets revived and, if that was their only monster, your opponent's field is now open for direct attacks by their own monster and Dragvirion.

Statue of Anguish Pattern is summoned as a pretty high-leveled monster. Paired with a level-2 Tuner like Fifinellag, you can easily make Vermillion Mech Dragon. Two Statue of Anguish Pattern can also be paired to make a Rank-7 like Titanic Moth.

Anguish Pattern is a key card in many Trap monster decks. It's inherent protection and high DEF stat give it some good staying power. And the free removal effect from Special Summoning more Trap monsters gives you more payoff for running this type of Deck.

Tiki Soul's gives your Trap monster some recursion. But realistically this won't be of much use because your opponent can just attack Tiki Soul first. This does have some strategic use however, since you know your opponent will prioritize Tiki Soul first over other Trap monsters you control.

Always declare Reptile Type to fulfill Lamia's inherent Special Summoning condition, the Attribute can be anything. Declare a specific Attribute for making Extra Deck monsters with more specific materials like Spider Shark. Because of his stats, Swamp Mirrorer is the Trap monster most likely to be used as a beater.

Quantum Cat is the high DEF low ATK counterpart of Swamp Mirrorer. Like Swamp Mirrorer, declare Reptile Type and the Attribute can be anything. Declare a specific Attribute for making Extra Deck monsters with more specific materials like Spider Shark.

Upon summoning Quariongandrax you can target up to three enemy cards for non-destruction banishing removal. You can get rid of all monsters on your opponent’s side of the field with a single card and then attack them directly for 3000 damage. The floating effect is also quite powerful; allowing you to revive any banished monster, even the ones you banished upon summoning Quariongandrax.

Vermillion Dragon Mech has good stats and a good cost-efficient removal effect. Prioritize banishing the non-Altergeist Tuners for Vermillion Dragon Mech's cost because those can't be recycled anyway.

Scrap Dragon has decent stats and a one-for-one removal effect. This removal effect is can help you unclog your backrow while also getting rid of an enemy card.

Hama has decent ATK stats and a good mass debuff effect. Hama can be Synchro climbed from a Level-6 Synchro to activate his double attack effect, this way he also benefits from his debuff effect.

The problem is getting the first attack off in cases where your opponent does not control any weak attack position for Hama to deal damage.

Summon Black Rose Dragon to break your opponent's established board. Greatly punishes opponents that overcommit their board.

Brionac is able to remove as many cards as you want from the opponent's field as long as you have enough discard costs on hand.

The attack negation is not really that good. Nothing happens to the attacking monster, and you'll be losing field presence. Best case you're returning Marionetter to the hand, to later Normal Summon him and reuse his search effect. However, getting Altergeists on the field to use as cost for this attack negation is quite easy with Marionetter and Emulatelf.

Dragvirion has a unique second effect that is quite useful. Tribute him as cost for cards such as Enemy Controller and he revives himself for free.

Spider Shark is a great boss monster you can make with any combination of Swamp Mirrorer and Quantum Cat, just remember to declare WATER Attribute. The first effect is enough to entirely deter the opponent from attacking while Spider Shark is on the field.

The floating effect is essentially a Monster Reborn. You can even revive another copy of Spider Shark and other Extra Deck monsters.

Summon Dire Wolf for on-demand removal. Dire Wolf's purpose is to destroy itself along with an enemy card.

Titanic Moth is able to deal a ton of damage between its direct attack and burn damage. If the attack is successful, this can sometimes win you the game.
