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.

Why not use gravity axe instead of book of secret arts? You add 500 atk plus the spell activation bonus of 500 atk...

Warning! Guys don't use shard of greed if you have three cards or less in deck. Shard of greed will just stay on your field and take up space if you cannot draw 2 cards. I didn't have room to play stop defense and decked out. cost me my 8k score. :(

Eww. Yuck. I think you're the only I knew who has committed that noobie mistake so far. Who in his right mind would do that in the first place. Yeah, you got your answer. Noobs.

@Roberto I use twister too, mostly to get my hp down to 100.Problem is I assumed that Shard of greed was just gonna pull the remaining card in my deck instead of not activate lol.
does it matter
Although the premise of the deck is good, the deck shown here is horrendous. It has zero survivability and depends way too much on chance. A cerberus deck should include 3x Cerberus, at least 2x Riryoku (as already mentioned in the comments), and a heck of a lot more cards that would help with drawing and survivability. Also, why the hell would you put Umi instead of Yami... The idea of using a field spell is okay-ish but Murmur of the Forest is useless and hard to get, so why use it? There is a good example for a Cerberus deck in the comment section of "Spirit Ryu (6,000 - 7,000)"

Specifically against Joey, Yami buffs time wizard so eatgaboon can't destroy it (I don't know why it works like that, but I couldn't destroy Time Wizard with eatgaboon while yami was on the field)

if u goes first turn, ur best starting hand will be a javelin or abyssal designator. either set javelin or use abyssal immediately if u have it to help survive more in 1st turn

Yea I use 3 javelin but the odd to get those in turn 1 still slim. How abyssal will save me?
<< Anonymous

As the guy above mentioned already abyssal will cost you 1000lp so if the opponent does anything more than 800lp damage then sorcery conduit triggers. There is an astronomically lowvchanve they can do 3 hitoma (1000+1800lp=2800) then attack with a 1200+att monster then its gg.

I do not have the Star Bow, so I've been using Stop Defense along with Release Restraint Wave to deal with Mai's Amazoness Shamanism, and I haven't lost yet.

I have Smoke Grenade of the Thief as well for the synergy, but any equipment works.
Question
Is there a reason to use Book of Secret over something that boosts his attack more like Gravity Axe?

No, this guide is made to make the deck as easy as possible to build, so yeah, if you have another option its up to you, but remember, some cards are irreplacible, so you need to make sure that card always in this, as an example you cant replaye Cerberus with Hane-Hane. Hope this can help *fly away*

That's because you're a moron. If you had half a brain you would be able to build a decent Cerberus deck.
