Hieratic Dragon: deck recipe [Oct 15]

Hieratics are Dragon monsters that can special summon a normal monster from hand, deck, or grave when tributed. The commonly used Hieratics are level 6, which can lead to the level 6 XYZ, Atum, to special summon any Dragon monster from the deck. When used together with Aether, this lets the deck get a quick and easy monster removal, and can later be followed up with another rank 6 XYZ.

It's a versatile pendulum card that can be used to destroy a spell/trap, a monster, or to pendulum summon together with Aether to special summon level 5 or 6 monsters.

Since the other monsters are below level 7, having Eccentrick means that you can take advantage of it at almost any point.

This card is special summonable through Atum's effect. Its attack will be 0, but the effect will still activate.

If you have another level 6 on the field, you can XYZ with the other Hieratic Dragon to make another Atum, which can then use its effect as well to special summon another Aether for 2 different monster banish per turn.

Tefnuit's value is mostly due to being one the few Hieratic monster you can put on the field without tribute. Run a couple of copies to start your plays.

When it's tributed, special summon Labradorite Dragon since it's the only normal monster in the deck.

Mainly to be used for the Hieratic Dragons to have a monster that they can summon, but this is also a tuner so you can make some synchro plays.

Since the ATK and DEF of the normal monster special summoned will be set to 0, the normal monster that you use in the deck can be any other Dragon monster. The important thing is that the monster is level 6 so that it helps with XYZ summoning Atum.

Tribute Tefnuit or Eset to summon Su. The tributed monster's effect will then activate to Special Summon a normal monster. You can then use Su's backrow removal effect before making a Rank-6 Xyz.

Eset and Tefnuit are used for starting your combos. While Tefnuit does not use up your Normal Summon, the disadvantage is you can only summon it under certain conditions. In most situations, Eset is a much more reliable combo starter.

Eset's second effect makes it a very effective Xyz enabler. Having your face-up Hieratics copy the level of the level 6 normal monster will allow you to access the much wider Rank-6 Xyz pool.

Adds much more consistency to the deck by searching any Hieratic monster. Most of the time you'll be using this to fetch Tefnuit or Eset. If you already have them on hand, you can opt to search Su or Nebthet for a combo piece.

Onimaru can easily be made with Labradorite Dragon for a 3000 ATK beater immune to effect destruction.

Ptolemy M7's effect is simple yet extremely versatile. The most obvious use is to get rid of an opponent's boss monster from the field. But the ability to recover monsters from the graveyard gives it a lot more versatility. With this, you can essentially recover any monster in your graveyard. For example, retrieve Eset to start a new Xyz combo.

A strong counter trap to negate the use of most cards. You want to at least end up with 1 Hieratic monster at the end of your turn to stop enemy plays.

When any of your Hieratics get tributed, you can special summon another monster, so this won't leave you defenseless right away.

This can be considered a core card in the deck since you'll want to go into this after using Atum's effect. This lets you attack right away to help secure some games quickly, instead of giving your opponent another turn to make a comeback.

Atum is a great board extender that can fetch any of the Hieratics out of your deck. The best part is the Special Summoned monster's effect is not negated, so you can special summon Aether to banish a monster or any other Hieratics for further follow up.

Atum's effect is also not a hard once per turn, which means that if you can go into another Atum, you can special summon another Aether for another banish on the same turn.

Negating enemy monster effects is great for disrupting their plays, especially since most combos involve the use of a monster effect. An example is negating Noble Knight Medraut, Utopic Onomatopeia, etc.

The burn damage upon negation is also quite a significant amount. However, the negation effect does not destroy the negated monster, so this can be dangerous against powerful monsters like Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon.

Rhinosebus offers a non targeting quick effect monster removal. It's a good card to consider if you aren't using any other semi limited cards. A big downside to this is that you'll mostly only be able to special summon this by using Exa-Beetle, which means that you essentially need 2 extra deck slots to bring Rhinosebus.

It's a level 6 XYZ that's often used to simply go into Rhinosebus. Its own effect is definitely not bad, but it will leave you with just a 1000 ATK monster on the field after using its effect, and also can't be used to become Rhinosebus since it needs 2 materials.

Maju Garzett comboed with a Hieratic monster can let easily make a Rank-8, or if you want a more unique monster summon Bishbaalkin. Special Summon Tefnuit and tribute it to Special Sumon Maju Garzett. Tefnuit then Special Summons Dragon Core Hexer, which you can pair with Maju Garzett.

You can also use Maju Garzett as a huge beater. Hieratics Special Summon powerful Dragons and reduce their ATK to 0, but Maju Garzett gets the original ATKs of the tributed monsters so this won't matter. Effectively, Maju Garzett becomes a huge beater you can summon with minimal cost.

Decent option if you need another Hieratic monster in the deck. Its main effect will rarely be useful, but it's a level 4 monster that can be easily summoned so you can tribute it away.

Nebthet is similar to Hieratic Dragon of Su, the only differences is that it’s a Level 5 monster and its effect can destroy a monster on the opponent’s side of the field instead of a Spell/Trap Card. Between Nebthet and Su, the deck already has a decent amount of removal.

Similar to Su, summoning Nebthet is usually a part of your combo to make an Xyz play. But because of Nebthet's level, you pair it with Curse of Dragon to make a Rank-5.

The deck can brick if you're unlucky enough not to draw a single Tefnuit, Eset, or anything to fetch them. The deck also has a hard time recovering from a field wipe without any of their combo starters, also putting you in a bad spot. Due to this, it would be good to run some defensive options like Sphere Kuriboh and Battlin' Boxer Veil.

If you want to take advantage of certain synchro monsters that are level 6, 7, or 8, then you can bring some of these tuners to have more of a follow up using different monsters.

This definitely has good synergy with the Hieratic monsters since they want to be tributed, but Seal of Reflection can be considered a stronger version that's more worth the slot.

Use Bishbaalkin's second effect at the start of the opponent's Main Phase to flood their field with junk. This prevents some Decks from summoning their low-Level searchers, preventing them from starting combos. When your turn comes, Bishbaalkin should be a 6000 ATK monster but it's hard to take advantage of this because all the Tokens are in defense position.

Labradorite Dragon plus Sphere Kuriboh can make Zeta for its removal effect. Zeta's removal effect can be used continually to effectively remove your opponent's monster until you get a proper out to it.

The Hieratic Archetype's biggest boss monster. Heliopolis' mass removal effect is very powerful and, with enough cost, can result in an enemy board wipe. You can then proceed to hit them directly with 3000 ATK. Additionally, by tributing Hieratic monsters you're also getting a lot of field presence by triggering their effects.

Volcasaurus has a decent removal effect that can burn the opponent for a significant amount. The restriction doesn't entirely prevent Volcasaurus from attacking, only direct attacking so over it's a very good offensive play.

Stat-wise the strongest Extra Deck monster you can make. It's effect is also good for shutting down the effect of enemy boss monsters.
