Lightsworn: deck recipe [Mar 20]

The “Lightsworn” archetype revolves around milling, meaning sending cards from the top of the Deck to the Graveyard. The vast majority of “Lightsworn” monsters mill a number of cards during the End Phase of their controller’s turn and/or can generally benefit from this mechanic. Fueling the graveyard will help summon the deck's boss monster, whether it's Chaos Dragon Levianeer or Judgment Dragon.

Easily special summonable in this deck since there are LIGHT (Lightsworn/Blue-Eyes Monsters) and DARK (Twilightsworn Monsters/Sphere Kuriboh). Its effect is pretty decent for either monster removal or as an OTK option.

Chaos Dragon Levianeer is an excellent boss monster in this deck due to its ease of summoning. The “Lightsworn” engine is well-known for its quick graveyard setup. In a deck such as this using both LIGHT and DARK monsters you will almost always have the means to summon one or even multiple Levianeer.

Levianeer is a good generic boss monster for any LIGHT and DARK deck because of its high attack stat and multi-card removal. You should always choose the removal effect among Levianeer's effects. Additionally, Levianeer's stats allow you to search it with The Melody of Awakening Dragon for added consistency.

Keep in mind that you'll need to banish a mix of LIGHT and DARK in order to get the non targeting destruction effect. Most of the Lightsworns are LIGHT, so you'll need to watch out for the non Lightsworn cards sent into the grave.

Use Lumina’s effect to Special Summon Raiden, Hand of the Lightsworn (Level 4 Tuner), and then Summon a Level 7 Synchro from your Extra Deck.

Before using Raiden as Synchro Material, you can activate its effect and send 2 more cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard. This will give you a higher chance of sending Bacon or Stegocyber.

Ryko, Twilightsworn Fighter has the ability to banish any card on the field without targeting or destroying. This is good for getting rid of problematic monsters such as Invoked Cocytus and Shiranui Sunsaga. The fact Ryko is searchable by Charge of the Light Brigade makes it an even more versatile removal card.

Get these monsters in your graveyard with the Lightsworn mill engine. From there Stegocyber and Sphere Kuribog can protect you from enemy OTKs.

Furthermore, Sphere Kuriboh and Bacon Saver being DARK attributes gives them additional utility as cost for BLS and Levianeer's summoning, provided you do not use their graveyard effects. Do this if you decide to go on the offensive while they are still in your graveyard.

Excluding Raiden, the Tuners in this deck have the ability to revive themselves. With the Lightsworn mill engine, this gives you access to Synchro plays on-demand. Additionally, Glow-Up Bulb lets you further mill from your deck.

Charge of the Light Brigade and Solar Recharge are better at setting up your graveyard than the Lightsworn monsters for two reasons. Firstly, aside from milling, they let you dig further into your deck by searching and drawing. Secondly, they mill during the Main Phase, while most Lightsworn monsters mill during the End Phase. This lets you make use of the milled cards on the same turn.

Some reasons why you would want to mill during your Main Phase include:

• Using milled monsters as summoning cost for Levianeer.
• Getting Glow-Up Bulb in the graveyard for quick Synchro plays.
• Getting Raiden in the graveyard as revival target for Lumina.

Your Synchro toolbox will consist of levels varying from 7 to 9 but will mostly focus on level-7 Synchros. Additionally, most of them will have removal effects to further facilitate board control and OTKs alongside Levianeer.

Banish Raiden as cost for Vermillion Mech's removal effect and then revive that Raiden with Twilightsworn Lumina's effect. This lets you extend your Synchro combo while also getting rid of an opponent's card.

Scrap Dragon is a good beater with a 1-for-1 targeting removal effect.

Mainly to disable/prevent monster effects during your battle phase, which can prevent commonly used handtraps that often stalls the duel.

Level-7 Synchros are made by reviving Raiden with Lumina's effect. Among them, Fortune Lady Every is an excellent choice for board control because of her free non-targeting, non-destruction, banishing removal. She also gets stronger the longer she stays on the field, putting further pressure on the opponent. Lastly, every Lumina in your graveyard will let Fortune Lady Every revive another time.

A safe turn 1 monster to summon other than Fortune Lady Every. Most strong monsters are special summoned, so you can banish this and your opponent's monster to negate an attack. Alternatively, you can banish your opponent's special summoned monster to prevent them from performing a synchro summon or XYZ summon.

Link Disciple allows you to draw a card and cycle a card from your hand. It can also as a Filter Draw Strategy to tribute 1 monster this card points to; usually used to get rid of Knightmare Corruptor Iblee that was special summoned to your field by the opponent.

Compared to Levianeer, this gives your opponent more ways to react since its effect does not activate on summon, and this summoning condition is more strict than Levianeer. For those reasons, Levianeer is better to use oftentimes. But Judgment Dragon is still good to consider, as long as you play plenty of different lightsworn monsters.

Not a bad monster to bring, and can combo into a level 7 using any of the graveyard level 1 tuners. But Chaos Sorcerer has no graveyard effect, so it's better to bring cards that are useful when you get it in hand and when it's milled.

Free monster to special summon if it ever gets into the graveyard. You can special summon Levianeer to use the destruction effect, then return it back to hand using Zephyros to re-summon Levianeer again. It won't be able to destroy your opponent's cards again, but at the very least it can attack for a potential OTK. Zephyros being a DARK element gives it an additional good reason to consider this because it can help summon Levianeer.

Useful against opponents that uses plenty of back row cards, but it doesn't activate on summon, making it more easily disruptable by your opponent. If it gets hit with a Floodgate or Book of Moon, you'll end up losing on the milling effect.

Definitely useful when it works, but it can be a little unreliable. It messes up your hand if you happen to draw it, but the special summon effect for a free destruction is certainly nice.

Basically just a special summonable level 4 beater. It can become a dead card if you get it in hand so you can freely use it as the cost for Solar Recharge.

Its main effect will almost never see use since it's very conditional to use as a reliable search for Judgment Dragon / Levianeer. Mainly used for the additional milling effect when it gets sent to the grave.
