How to use this deck

Starting Hand

This often determines how you will be playing the deck. Each monster have their uses, and are helpful in certain situations.

  • Dream Clown is a safe choice to summon when you have some decent spell/trap cards, but this will let your opponent know that you plan on playing defensively.
  • Swarm of Locusts is very good if you get first turn. If your opponent only summons 1 monster, then you only need to use 1 card to protect it, ensuring that you can flip summon on the next turn.
  • Cards like 4-Starred Ladybug of Doom or Amazoness Chain Master are also good at the early turns. You don't need to risk setting a spell/trap card since they are the disposable ones.

Playing Defensively

Almost all of the cards in the deck are usable right away. This will make sure that your monsters have a high chance of surviving for at least a turn, even against Harpie decks.

  • If you are not at risk of losing the duel, you can hold on to the spell/trap cards to save your other monsters next turn.
  • Saving your cards like Enemy Controller can allow you to take control of your opponent's monster later.
  • You can purposefully take some damage so you can use Bandit to take control of your opponent's spell/trap card, or use cards like Mirror Wall, or Amazoness Chain Master to lower your LP.
  • If your opponent has multiple spell/trap cards, it's recommended to not risk getting Mirror Wall'ed by attacking blindly into your enemy unless you have some protection.
  • Tragedy can destroy all defense position monster your opponent controls, even if they are face down. This can help prevent their flip effects or destroy all their monsters.

When I recognize this deck I just auto surrender. It's not worth the headache, and even if I win it wasn't an enjoyable duel. They should really nerf this 🔥.

Now the original unnerfed Circus of Nightmares Lv20 Standard Duelist deck... That was something else to behold. 3 x Windstorm, 3 x Curse of Anubis, 3 x Tragedy. It was well triggering.

Try SD Lv27 Circus Trick deck. It adds the headache further by adding Labyrinth of Nightmare.

How is this deck a 9.5? I match all the cards and can't even get to plat. There are way to many counters to this deck.

I'm stuck on P4 (again), I've made some changes but still can go further. Any ideas?

P.D. I use chain reaction, that's why I don´t have SRH on this deck.

My 2 cents : change skill for balance/destiny draw/bandit, get at least one SRH and one magical arm shield (try around to see what's the best choice to remove for those).

Balance is the way to go. Either go full heavy knight or sergeant. Drop the leotaur, gaia and the inspirations. Add another statue and cover it with a feint plan. You could also go for another orb, or a few half shuts.
You could also experiment with labyrinth of nightmare for your clowns.

Anyone has a counter for phoenix with clown/statue ?
<< Anonymous
Penance Reply
Well, yes, but in my expirience it's a 50-50 chance to win:

You use statues to control Fire King Avatar Yaksha, don´t 🔥 it.

If the opponent use Fire King Island to special summon and you manage to 🔥 the Sacred Phoenix it will be a gap, he will special summon it from grave but he will go back because the effect of destroying Fire King Island, you need to exploit it.

is the deck still viable to reach kog in the current meta?

It's much harder than in previous meta though. Swarm makes you very dependant of what traps you start with.

It won't allow me to post it 'file is too large'.
Anyways I added a second copy of both Sphere kuriboh and Sergeant electro and removed one Security orb and Diskblade rider.
I use Mindscan skill.

Any ideas here? I'm stuck on Plat 2-3, it's hard to beat vanguard dragon deck, gravekeeper and Hammer Shark :/

I'd go 3 clowns and 3 guardians. -1 tragedy -1 desert -1 transporter and replace them with more versatile cards like half shut, econ, or SRH. I personally run 3 SRH in my clown/guardian deck. Card is OP
