Masked Beast: deck recipe [Jul 9]

Duel Links Masked Beast deck, Masked Beast deck in the meta, how to build Masked Beast deck.
update 09/07/2021

Overview

A high-risk high-return type of deck, similar to older Archfiend decklists. It can sometimes be bricky but really powerful with the right cards. This deck quickly runs through it's resources, but if your combos are successful, will be able to earn back those losses while putting powerful monsters on your field.

How to Play

Masked Beast Des Gardius

Umbra & Lumis Starter Deck [SR]
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Tributing 2 monsters, including at least 1 "Grand Tiki Elder" or "Melchid the Four-Face Beast". When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, equip 1 "The Mask of Remnants" from your Deck to 1 monster on the field.

Masked Beast is the main boss monster of this deck, your first goal every game would be to put him on the field. He has incredibly high stats, and can steal your opponent's Monster when he is sent from field to graveyard. And for such a powerful Monster, he is fairly easy to summon with this deck. In case you draw multiple copies of him in your starting hand, return one to the deck to activate your skill or use as cost for Rebirth of Parshath. His summoning is tied to how many times you can use your skill. So in a long Duel, drawing your third Masked Beast Des Gardius can be dead in your hand.

Shuffle this card into its owner's Deck, OR if this card was put into play by the effect of "Masked Beast Des Gardius", this card is treated as an Equip Card. Control of the equipped monster is switched.

The Mask of Remnants is what allows Masked Beast Des Gardius to steal your opponent's Monsters, but by itself is the worst card to draw. If ever you draw into The Mask of Remnants in any stage of the duel, activate it to return itself to the deck or return it to the deck via your skill. Do not use it as cost for Rebirth of Parshath because you will not be able to recover it and your Masked Beast Des Gardius won't be able to steal Monsters.

Grand Tiki Elder or Melchid the Four-Face Beast (Skill)

Masked Tribute puts one Grand Tiki Elder or Melchid the Four-Face Beast on your field. The monster put on your field does not matter because you will always use this skill for summoning Masked Beast Des Gadius.

The best cards to return to the deck when activating this skill are extra copies of Masked Beast Des Gardius or The Mask of Remnants.

Personally, I feel like Enemy Controller is a better fit for this deck, compared to Wall of Disruption. You can tribute Relinkuriboh for one of their monsters, draw a card, then tribute their monster for Des Gardius, or you can tribute Des Gardius himself, and steal two of your opponent's monsters for the price of one.

Plus, considering how few monsters there are that can beat 3300 ATK that easily, along with the fact that you can use Relinkuriboh/Bacon Saver to save your Masked Beast from said threats (or simply let Des Gardius die and steal their 3300.1+ ATK beatstick in exchange), Wall of Disruption doesn't seem all that important to me in comparison.

something wrong for me..i attacked a skelegal. its effect to draw a card activates. i used the rebirth parshath counter and negated it but it did not special summon partshath from my extra or even ask me to. any ideas???

never mind. just figuredit out.. i dont think it works during the "damage step" or whatever that moment is. cause i was able to use it against the AI when they used the u.a. stadium

It has nothing to do with the Damage Step. It has to be able to shuffle the card into the Deck to get the Summon. A monster that was destroyed in battle can't be returned to the hand/deck, even during the period it's still on the field after Damage Calculation. Similarly, you can't Summon if you negate something like Sphere Kuriboh or Bacon Saver that changed location from where it activated.

You're going to need more than 1 copy of The Mask Of Remnants. Only because if a 2nd or 3rd Masked Beast gets destroyed by battle or card effect (despite dark illusion,) you won't be able to use it's effect to gain control of their monster since remnants is in the gy.

I believe the 3 copies of Des Gardius doesn't mean that you are going to summon all 3 of them.

It is to increase the chance of you drawing it early and also to give Doomdog more targets to search.

Admin even suggested to discard Des Gardius (for Rebirth of parshath) if possible because you are likely not going to summon 2nd or 3rd copy.

I used Dark NecroFear as my support....

Masked Beast Des Gardius 2x
Dark Necrofear 2x
Sphere Kuriboh 3x
Doomdog Octhros 1x
Galaxy Cyclone 1x
Night Beam 1x
Grand Tiki Elder 2x
Melchid The Four-face Beast 2x
Mask of Remnants X1
Archfiend Palabyrinth 2x
Swamp Mirror 2x
Dimensional Prison 1x
Sakuretsu Armor 1x

This is pretty similar to the deck design I went with, although I didn't go with a Counter/Parshath underbase:

Masked Beast Des Gardius X3
Relinkuriboh X3
Doomdog Octhros X3
Bacon Saver X1
Galaxy Cyclone X2
Enemy Controller X2
Mask of Remnants X1
Paleozoic Canadia X3
Powerful Rebirth X2

Probably gonna replace the Galaxy Cyclones with Dark Illusion and see how it plays out. Either way, the deck's based on coming up with ways to compensate for how expensive Des Gardius's summons happen to be, along with possibly reviving one of the masked tributes, so the third Des Gardius doesn't go to waste.

This is an interesting idea.
