How to use this deck

Goal

  • To increase the ATK of Mythical Beast Cerberus to over 10,000 attack.
  • To decrease your Life Points to below 1000 or 100 whenever possible.
  • To deal more than 10,000 damage when you have 0 cards left.
  • To get 5000 - 8000 score. Improve your score by using glossy and prismatic cards for additional assessment points.

1. Receive an attack to get Cerberus

To get Mythical Beast Cerberus from your deck, use either "Sorcery Conduit" or "Draw Sense: Low-Level". Both skills are similar and they require you to receive at least 1800 points. You can use cards like Enchanted Javelin for some protection. After taking 1800 damage, a button will show up during your draw phase if you want to use it.

Some Legendary Duelists often start with monsters that won't deal 1800 or more damage, if you have cards that can reduce your LP like Abyssal Designator on your first turn, you can use it to ensure that you can activate the skill next turn.

  • Even if you have Cerberus in your starting hand, take the first hit if you want to adjust your Life Points to 100 to get the "LP on the Brink" assessment. Unless you use cards that can take you to 100 LP from 4000.
  • Recover your LP if you think you will take damage more than your current LP, use a Blue Medicine or any other healing card. The damage you take will still count towards the required damage for the skill to activate.

2. Grow Cerberus & make your Life Points 100

Place Spell counters on Mythical Beast Cerberus by activating Spell cards, and adjust your Life Points to 100.

The combination

You can get your LP from 4000 to 100 by using Blue Medicine, Mooyan Curry to get 4600 LP. Then 3 cards that reduce your LP by 1000 and then Autonomous Action Unit, or 4 cards that reduce your LP by 1000 and use a Twister.

Use Enchanted Javelin to maintain 4000 LP and still be able to activate skill to draw a Cerberus.

  • Keep equip spells in your hand until you summon the Cerberus. You cannot activate Spell cards if your three spell zones are filled, but you can use a Gravity Axe - Grarl early to lock your opponents in defense position.
  • If your opponent has cards that can inflict effect damage to your Life Points, don't lower your LP early in the duel. Instead, use it on your last turn when you are left with 0 cards in your deck.
  • Combo
    By using Murmur of the Forest, you can re-use a field spell so you can activate it again for another counter to Cerberus. Alternatively, you can use Sword of Deep-Seated and twister it to re-use the effect.

3. Dealing the damage

When you have 0 cards left in your deck, and used up all your spells, you can attack your opponent by using Stop Defense on one of your opponent's defense card and then use Riryoku to increase Cerberus even further. Afterwards, equip Shooting Star Bow - Ceal on to that reduced monster's attack. If you used your stop defense earlier, then you can equip the Ceal bow to your Cerberus to be able to direct attack.

Essential cards

CardRating explanation
Mythical Beast Cerberus
Mythical Beast Cerberus
This deck cannot be built without this monster card.
*Note: It is fine to farm with this Cerberus deck using 1 Cerberus. However, with sufficient testing, it is more consistent to have 2 cerberus in the deck.

Other useful cards

CardExplanation
Yami
Yami
Can be replaced with any other field spell card. Murmur of the Forest allows you to use a field spell twice, giving you more spell counters.
Mooyan Curry
Mooyan Curry
This card, Timidity, Blue Medicine, and Abyssal Designator can be replaced with any spell card unless you aim to get "LP on the Brink" duel assessment.
Black Pendant
Black Pendant
Use any equip spell that can increase your attack by 500. Gravity Axe - Grarl can be helpful to lock their position, or Wonder Wand for a cheap alternative.
Seal of the Ancients
Seal of the Ancients
Can be a great alternative to Abyssal Designator to see your opponent's set cards and deal with them accordingly.
Hieroglyph Lithograph
Hieroglyph Lithograph
Lowers your LP and allows you to hold more cards so you can pass turns and use multiple cards easier.
That Wacky Magic!
That Wacky Magic!
Use Dark-Piercing Light and this card to clear your opponent's monsters to deal direct attack..

Performance against Legendary Duelists

High Score Cerberus deck can be used to farm most of the LDs, but there are some noteworthy things that you might need to remember when going against specific LDs.

Ones with a score of 1 means that you can't use a Cerberus deck against them.

Joey Wheeler

3You need to deal with Time Wizard by using Abyssal Designator, Eatgaboon or House of Adhesive Tape.

I added Card Rotator in y Cerberus deck. I use an Enchanted Javelin or one of the magic cards that require life points to pay and I don't have the life points to pay to activate it's effect. Basically I save it for my last move
Anonymous
This deck does not work against Odion or Mai GODDAMIT. Odion will attack with a weak monster turn 1, then 🔥 you turn 2 with apophis and another monster. Mai will nuke archer on you (or revive a discarded archer to do it). Please assist.

If you dont have the Enchanted Javelin on your hand, then you're screwed through this 2. Cerberus deck still works on Mai if she doesnt have the archer on her hand. The problem is the 1k booster spell card in battle phase.

Use 3 Javelin and dont use LP payment cards against them. Really, you people have issues..

Farm tea to get normal heal spells. Fill your deck with those to make it much more reliable - almost guaranteed. Or use 3 cerberus with the Balance skill for the same effect
Gale
Some of my stats: 1) Highest BATTLE DAMAGE is 20, 525, and 2) Highest ATK is 21,025. There is a 1,000 point difference between the two because I prefer using Shooting Star-Ceal to deliver Cerberus' final attack. Was it hard? No. With two Riryoku and two Cerberus, one can easily obtain the 20,000 mark point. Am I saying the truth? Yes. Just bear in mind that Hieroglyph Lithograph is a must. Also, White Elephant's Gift is a staple, as well as 2x De-Spells, 1x Storm, and 1x/2x Fairy of the Spring. The only TRICKY PART is how you will manage your cards on hand (7 with Lithograph), nothing else.

I love the challenge of my deck. Yes, there are some inconsistencies within it, but once you get your two shards of greed out plus white elephant, you'll be racking up 8-9 cards in your hand all at once and that's simply amazing! 25-26 cards, eh, I don't really care, as only 1-2 cards will go to waste. Trap Jammer is for Tea's Cards from the sky.

Does this work on Mai?
RodyTM
I put a level 7 monster + stray labs + a ritual monster. Use Stary Labs and tribute for summon the level 7 monster. In next phase, tribute this monster and summon the ritual. This increse my score for +7000 always. If my LP is 500 or less, i can get a 8000 high score easy

DO NOT use Yami against Joey. It boosted his Time Wizard so Eatgaboon and House of Adhesive Tape doesn't work

maybe the boost comes from using Yami card. Unless monster field is full dont put Yami on the field

You can, but you'll need to rely on other cards to ensure you deal 10K+ damage, such as Stop Defense.

yes,easy. use meteor rain or fairy meteor crush to inflict piercing damage when his monsters are in defense position. Fairy meteor works best since it won't drop you attack like bow, or require an activation condition like stop defense if you need to equip it early to prevent your cerberus from being attacked and have no other spells in your hand

Balance with only 3 monsters in a 20 card deck does NOT ensure you get it in your opening hand. It will increase the odds, but will not ensure it. You need 5 monsters to ensure that 1 is in your opening hand. That's how balance works.

Cerberus is guaranteed lol. Tried it several times already.

For those who do not have 3 Enchanted Javelins (for some reason) I would recommend Nutrient Z, it is good in the case of multiple monsters. Also, Eataboon against Joey makes it A LOT easier to farm him.

🔥 that Eatgaboon, never dropped for me. I have more luck with abysmal designator. damn those standard duelists

Nutrient Z not really helpful like enchanted javelin. Because enemy need to have 2000+ damage on 1 monster. Nutrient Z counts only "1" monster damage not the total damage so it will only work if one of enemy monster has 2000+ damage.
Axel
Works well with spell reproduction. I have always spell cards left at the last turn that I can't use.
Use Riryoku first, so u can bring it back from the graveyard with spell reproduction.

Also I put Twin-headed and Fusion gate as field card, so I can half the attack of twin-headed with riryoku.
Luca
I would just like to recommend dark piercing light over stop defence as long as you are using bow, this allows you to flip over the entire field face up meaning you can use multiple murmurs from 1 card. Great if you are using hidden spellbook as well
