Star Seraph: deck recipe [Feb 16]

The Star Seraphs can give a good amount of card advantage when used for an XYZ, but they can only be used for an XYZ that requires 3 materials. The advantage allows it to be played with counter traps, making them good as a control-type deck.

Normal Summon Scepter to fetch another Star Seraph monster, usually Sovereignty. The problem of this deck is this is often all you can do during the first turn. Ending your turn with only Scepter onboard is not good so we run a lot of backrow to compensate.

Using Specter as Xyz material gives you extra card advantage by destroying any enemy card and giving you a free draw.

Sovereignty is a good field extender, giving you an extra monster to make a Rank-4 Xyz with 3 materials. However, you can only use it to make the Rank-4 Xyz that require at least 3 materials so having only it and Scepter on hand is only good for resource gain and won't net you any Xyz monsters.

Scout gives you a more solid first turn field presence. If you also have Scepter on hand, you can Special Summon it with Scout's effect and trigger the search while also ending your turn on a Rank-4 Xyz.

Great Counter against the Deck Type that heavily relies on Graveyard Combo.

Delteros' role would mostly be for removing problematic backrow. Delteros also protects your monsters against the prevalent Floodgate Trap Hole.

You can also choose to slot in at least 1 Satellarknight Altair to get some floating effect from Delteros. This makes it so that your opponent has to destroy your monsters 3 times before they get to attack directly.

Ouroboros is one of the more powerful Rank-4 Xyz due to having three different good effects that can be used once each while it is on the field. The first effect is a simple yet effective targeted removal effect. The second effect when used early in the Duel, can limit your opponent's plays by reducing their resources. When used correctly, the third effect can get rid of a crucial card in the graveyard.

If you made this using Scale as material, don't spend its last material.

Summon Thunder Spark Dragon and use its effect for a field wipe. Gets rid of your opponent's entire board set up, and especially punishing to opponents that overcommit their board.

Like most of your Main Deck monsters, Scale is a field extender. Scale combos with Scout; Normal Summon Scout then Special Summon Scale. Scale can then Special Summon Scepter for an extra search, or you can Special Summon Sovereignty to immediately retrieve the LIGHT monster you put at the top of the Deck.

Using Scale as an Xyz material effectively turns the summoned Xyz monster into a draw engine.

Easily splashable monster in any deck, not because of its stats, but because of how easily it can become either a high ATK beater or a high DEF monster to block attacks.

One downside to keep in mind is that the Star Seraphs can only XYZ into a monster that requires 3 monsters. If Winda gets destroyed and you special summon the fusion monsters, you won't be able to XYZ do a rank 4 XYZ since the fusions are level 6.

Its last effect is unusable in this deck since there aren't any "Ritual Beast Tamer"s, but it's still useful as a beater with a good chance of being able to attack.

Unaffected by other card effects when it's attacking gives it a strong immunity to literally everything. Allowing you to attack safely even if you know your opponent is playing something like a Drowning Mirror Force or Sphere Kuriboh.

Has high DEF and can't be destroyed by card effects. Provides a good answer to decks that relies on destroying through card effects like Fire Kings.

This is just an extra bonus that you can bring out after using the Rebirth of Parshath counter trap. Its effect can be helpful to deal with many monsters, so it's worth bringing at least 1. But summoning this also means that you won't be able to do a rank 4 XYZ with the Star Seraphs.

This is the main and strongest counter trap in the deck. It can negate just about anything and also bring out a monster from your extra deck.

The deck has 9 counter traps, so there's a decent chance you can activate it, especially since it can negate most things compared to the other counter traps.

Helps keep you safe for when you don't have a monster to summon, or don't want to summon Scepter because there's only Sovereignty in hand.

To negate your opponent's monster so you can stop their combo.

Most decks rely on monster effects to extend their combos, so having this to stop them can be crucial. This is arguably the easiest one to use out of the other counter traps, but it can also end up being stuck in your spell/trap zone if your opponent doesn't use any monster effect.

To add more into the deck so that you can use Rebirth of Parshath easier. It's about as useful as the other ones with an extra bit of utility.

The restriction helps give it an option, but the discard cost can end up making it less flexible than Divine Wrath.

Utopia Ray can be summoned by using a single Utopia as material. Do this when you're going on the offensive, effectively exchanging Utopia's protection effect for Utopia Ray's ATK manipulation.

A good flexible option to make on your first turn. Utopia's protection effect can be used to defend against enemy attacks. And later you can switch Utopia into Utopia Ray.

At first activation of its effect, Night Papilloperative would get at least a 600 ATK boost putting it above most monsters. But due to the prevalence of Xyz monsters this boost could be much higher. The stat boost is also permanent so boost from each activation will stack.

Disigma is generally the best Rank-4 to make with 3 materials. Its absorption effect is a great form of removal and gives it great a advantage over any monster of that attribute. Many archetypes are composed of a single attribute of monsters, making Disigma quite potent against them.

Malevolent Sin is an anti-Xyz tech. Summon Malevolent Sin and use its effect to temporarily banish an enemy Xyz monster. The Xyz monster will return with no materials attached to it.

We use Blackship of Corn mainly because of its burn damage. Use this when the opponent controls a low-ATK monster, to deal a significant amount of damage. The effect does not destroy so it's a good way to deal with Ritual Beast Ulti-Pettlephin.
