Nekroz: deck recipe [Jan 31]

Nekroz is a ritual-based archetype with high-level monsters that uses a shared ritual spell. They are mostly high-level monsters that have good effects on the field, but also have effects usable in the hand for some support.

It's an important searcher for any Nekroz monster:

• Valkyrus is often a safe choice to search for because of its powerful effect to end the battle phase.
• If you already have Cycle/Mirror, search for Shurit.
• If Shurit and a ritual spell are in hand; Gungnir is good if you get turn 1, while Trishula is if you can activate it.
• If you already have a Nekroz monster on the field; Decisive Armor gives an ATK boost, Gungnir protects it from destruction, while Trishula negates cards that target your Nekroz monsters.

After you use its search effect, you can ritual summon it from the grave by using Nekroz Cycle and Shurit from the hand. Using Shurit as the material for ritual summoning will activate Shurit's effect to search a Brionac from your deck.

Its on-field effect is VERY useful if you go against extra deck monsters, but it's pretty situational and kind of slow, giving your opponent a chance to stop it from happening. Have a Gungnir/Trishula in hand so you can either protect Brionac from destruction targeted effects.

This card is searchable with Brionac and Shurit. It's an incredibly strong monster to summon because of its powerful effect that can remove multiple cards without targeting, and it works on-summon too. However, this only works when your opponent has a card in each place. Even if it doesn't work, it's at least a good beater with 2700 ATK.

It's not a good card to bring out if you get turn 1, but more for turn 2 onwards. You can start the turn by summoning this to use its effect, or to force your opponent's backrow. If Trishula gets destroyed or removed from the field, you'll be able to activate Cycle/Mirror in the grave to search for another ritual spell to make another play.

The hand effect can protect your monsters from being targeted, which is useful if your monsters are going to get hit with something like Chalice or Lance.

Has the highest base ATK out of all the Nekroz ritual monsters. Because of Shurit's effect, summoning a high-level ritual monster like this isn't an issue compared to most other ritual decks.

Even if you can't summon it on the field, its hand effect helps your other Nekroz monsters get an attack boost. Since the other Nekroz ritual monsters are above 2000 ATK, giving a +1000 ATK increase makes them over 3000+ ATK to beat over most monsters in the game.

This card is limited because of its powerful hand effect to help survive and stall a duel, which is mostly what this is going to be used for.

Decent monster to ritual summon since it has a card removal that's a quick effect. Discarding a Nekroz monster can be fine since they can be ritual summoned with Cycle, and Shurit can still be used in the grave with Mirror.

Its hand effect is useful to prevent a destruction. The deck has no quick effect to search for Gungnir from the deck during your opponent's turn, so you pretty much have to prepare this beforehand.

The 1 monster cost that's used to ritual summon any Nekroz ritual monster. Use Nekroz Cycle to ritual summon a Nekroz ritual from the grave by using Shurit from the hand. This will activate Shurit's effect to search for Brionac/Trishula from the deck. You can then follow it up by using Nekroz Mirror to use the Shurit in the grave.

Keep in mind that Shurit's search effect is only once per turn, so ritual summoning twice per turn won't let you search 2 Brionac/Trishula from the deck.

To help get a ritual spell or monster from the deck. It's also a level 4, which can be used to ritual summon Valkyrus or Decisive Armor with another level 4 or Brionac in hand, but it's usually just used as a beater or rank 4 Xyz instead.

Lets you special summon Nekroz ritual monsters from the grave, allowing you to use Nekroz monsters' hand effects a little more freely.

A common use for this is to ritual summon Brionac from the grave after you use Brionac's search effect to pick up Shurit or any other ritual monster.

The last effect is useful for some recovery so you can make continuous ritual plays. The search effect is very non-restrictive since it can search for any Nekroz spell, including itself if you want to ritual summon a Nekroz from your grave.

A useful follow-up after using Shurit's effect from the hand since you can use it again in the graveyard to be the full cost for a ritual summon.

It also has a search effect, similar to Nekroz Cycle, so you can search for another copy of Mirror or Cycle from the deck.

These Fossil Fusion Monsters are good Synergy with Nekroz Kaleidoscope. Skull Knight's graveyard effect will allow you to remove a monster by banishing himself. Skull Wagon shares a similar effect to Skull Knight but back row removal by banishing itself from your Graveyard.

Having these Xyz monsters can help if you need certain effects, or if you want to get more use out of Trishula after the effect is used. Just keep in mind that doing this means they are no longer Nekroz monsters, so you can't use the Nekroz monsters in hand to protect them from destruction or targeted effects.

Brionac can only remove special summoned monsters, but this can remove any monster as long as they can be targeted. Also lets you target monsters in the grave to disrupt your opponent or to recover your own card.

General Rank 4 Xyz Monster for players to use so far. Its effect essentially lets you deal 2500 (its own ATK) damage if this attacks the monster you targeted. The advantage is that your opponent's monster's ATK is also lowered, allowing you to attack over it with your other weaker monsters.

Effective for when your opponent only controls one monster, which can often lead to an easy OTK. Also pretty good against your opponent's Xyz monster since doing this will remove their materials as well.

Roach is great for monster suppression, much like a Trap Hole card. When your opponent summons a boss monster, use Roach's effect to immediately destroy it. This is an especially good counter against Synchro Decks or High-Level Monster Spam Decks like Mekk-Knight Deck. But most of the time, just Roach's presence on the field is enough to deter the opponent from making big monsters.

If you already have 2 level 4 monsters on the field, you can Xyz into this to destroy your opponent's backrow before doing other plays. This lets you safely make your plays instead of getting disrupted by your opponent's trap.

A ritual support to help with getting a ritual monster or spell to your hand. The re-arrange effect is only beneficial if you don't make plays that require shuffling the deck, like using search effects from Brionac or Shurit.

Since Gishki chain only looks at the top 3 cards of your deck, it can be a little unreliable at times. You can choose to play Sonic Bird or Senju of the Thousand Hands as an alternative.

This is used over Sonic Bird since the ritual monsters are more useful to get because of their effects that can activate in the hand. Searching for Brionac can already lead to a Shurit or any other ritual monsters in the deck.

Having a backrow remover can be helpful since it lets you deal with enemy spell/traps before you get hit with them, allowing you to more safely make your plays. Cosmic Cyclone works the best with the deck because of the LP cost, which will let you activate the skill to fetch a ritual spell/monster. You can even use it twice per turn if you use the skill after taking damage (or from previous Cosmic Cyclone), then use Cosmic Cyclone again to take another 1000 to use the skill again.

Since Trishula's effect only works on-summon, there isn't any good reason to keep it on the field after the effect went off. You can use them to Xyz into Number 9 if you need an attack blocker, or if you know you're going against a deck that can summon a 2800+ ATK monster.

Abyss Dweller is an anti-Graveyard interaction tech, intended to hinder Decks that activate a ton of effects from the graveyard. It's best to activate this at the start of the opponent's turn, so make sure to toggle Chain to "ON" and activate Abyss Dweller's effect during the opponent's Draw Phase.

Has higher ATK than Manju/Senju and this clears up space plus a draw card effect.

Summon Emeral by using two Level 4 monsters like Manju or Senju as material. Emeral will then be used as a mini self-sufficient draw engine. Emeral can help you recover the monsters in the graveyard so you don't run out of sources.

Noted by KINGPLAYER:

3x Brionac would be Even better. Great synergy.
