Yang Zing: deck recipe [Aug 11]

Yang Zing is a synchro-focused deck that's fairly versatile since the main deck monsters have a floating effect that can special summon any Yang Zing from the deck.

The non-tuners also have effects that allow them to synchro summon during the opponent's turn, as well as the ability to give the synchro summoned monster an inherited trait that can make them immune to spells or traps.

This is the combo starter of the deck so you can special summon 2 monsters from the deck to make a synchro. However, it needs to be the only monster on the field. You can do this simply by normal summoning it first, or float into this with your other monsters to block enemy attacks and bring out Jiaotu when you know your opponent can't attack anymore.

With Jiaotu's effect, you can make a level 8 (Baxia, Cyber Slash, etc) with Suanni and Bixi, or Taotie and Pulao. Keep in mind that the non-tuners can give effects to the synchro monster that uses them as materials, so use the pair that you need. Go with Pulao if you want the synchro monster to be immune to spells, while Bixi is to be immune to traps.

The synchro monster options are pretty wide since the other Yang Zing monsters have varying levels. Since Chiwen is a 0 ATK and DEF monster, you can use it as one of the monster to be summoned with Jiaotu so you can special summon any other Yang Zing that you want in the deck.

If you want to make a Hama with a double attack, you'll need to bring a level 7 synchro and use Jiaotu to bring out Taotie and Chiwen. But this combo has no spell/trap protection so it can be risky.

To make a 1 turn Quarion, special summon Taotie and another Jiaotu.

A pretty flexible card since it has 0 ATK and DEF so you can use it as one of the filler monster to special summon with Jiaotu. Just keep in mind that it's a tuner so you don't end up making wrong calculations when summoning with Jiaotu.

Since you can only activate 1 of its effect in a single turn, you won't be able to use its floating effect and special summon itself on the same turn. It's recommended to at least float into this once, early in the duel, so that it's in the grave and ready for you to use it on the next turn.

When a Yang Zing monster you control is destroyed, you can float into a level 5, 4, 2, or 1 and special summon Chiwen (a level 1 tuner) from the grave. Since the non-tuner Yang Zings have an effect that allows you to synchro during your opponent's turn, you can potentially block attacks by summoning a high ATK monster or something like Vulcan the Divine or Ally of Justice Catastor.

These non-tuners have similar effects where they can also float into another Yang Zing other than itself when they're destroyed, but they can also synchro during your opponent's turn with another Yang Zing, as well as being able to give an additional effect to the synchro monster that uses these as materials.

Quick notes on them:
Taotie - Your opponent won't be able to take control of your monster.
Suanni - Gains 500 ATK and DEF.
Bixi - Immune to traps.
Pulao - Immune to spells.

Since Jiaotu's special summon has a restrictive condition, you'll have to keep in mind their ATK and DEF to see what you can summon. You can't use Jiaotu to bring out Bixi and Pulao since they both have 0 ATK, same with Taotie and Suanni since they both have 0 DEF.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Jiaotu, Bixi, and Pulao when destroyed can ONLY special summon a Yang Zing in ATTACK POSITION. While Taotie and Suanni can only special summon in DEFENSE POSITION. This only matters if you want to be careful with your LP, especially if it's low. Using Jiaotu, Bixi, and Pulao as the floaters can be dangerous if you only have low ATK monsters while floating into a defense position monster is dangerous if your opponent has a piercing effect.

Together with the innate floating effect of the Yang Zing monsters, you'll be able to special summon 2 monsters from your deck when a Yang Zing you control is destroyed.

What makes this card great is that it's a continuous trap, and it has no restriction on which Yang Zing or position that you can summon from the deck. You can even special summon another copy of the one just destroyed if you want to.

Oasis is more of a costless revival that can be used to bring back your monsters from your Graveyard including those Yang Zing monsters for protection or Synchro Summoning.

Makes use of the monsters destroyed or discarded with Jiaotu's effect. Since it's a continuous trap, you can use it for Baxia's effect to special summon a monster from the grave too.

Alternatively, you can use Oasis of Dragon Souls instead of Powerful Rebirth. If your opponent uses a backrow removal, you can activate Oasis to special summon a Yang Zing and it will be destroyed right away so you can float into something else.

Very strong for its triple monster removals. You make this with Jiaotu's effect to special summon another Jiaotu with Taotie from the deck. Synchroing with Taotie will also make it so that your opponent can't take control of it.

If it's destroyed, you'll be able to special summon a banished monster, making it pretty difficult for your opponent to deal with.

Similar to Quariongandrax, this also gives 3 card removals, but this one is not restricted to just monsters, and it sends them back to the deck, which is situationally better since some decks can use their banish pile.

Synchroing into this also uses a different combination from Quariongrandrax. You can use Suanni with Bixi or Taotie with Pulao to get immunity to spell/trap effects.

If you can clear your opponent's board, you can use its effect to destroy any card you control to bring out Suanni to OTK your opponent.

An OTK option since it can attack twice and has high ATK, but you'll need to use certain combinations to make this work, as well as another level 6 or 7 synchro monster in the deck.

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

A Level 7 Synchro Monster that un-targetable by your opponent's cards effect with a decent 2600 ATK stat. You can use its effect to destroy 1 "Yang Zing" monster you control to bring out Suanni to OTK your opponent. Yazi's floating effect also allows you to bring out 1 other Yang Zing tuner or monster for another synchro combo setup or block enemy from direct attacks.

Used together with Oasis of Dragon Souls or Powerful Rebirth. You can also make this during your opponent's turn since the non-tuners have effects that allow you to synchro during their turn. You'll need a Chiwen in the grave and be able to float into Taotie though.

Ametrix' battle position changing is already quite good because most enemy boss monsters are Special Summoned and changing them to defense position lets you run them over with Ametrix. Combined with Suanni to Synchro Summon Ametrix during the opponent's turn, letting you disrupt their Battle Phase, and also makes Ametrix's ATK becomes 3000 stat.

The best time to make Powered Inzektron is during the opponent's turn so you have an indestructible wall up during their Battle Phase. To do this summon Powered Inzektron with Suanni, Bixi, or Pulao's effect.

Summon Samurai Destroyer as an offensive option. He prevents your opponent from activating effects when he battles, stopping battle traps and disruption like Sphere Kuriboh and Kiteroid, letting all of Samurai Destroyer's attacks go through.

Assuming he does not get changed to defense position, your opponent would most likely get rid of Samurai Destroyer with removal effects before he battles. This is where his floating effect becomes useful to float into any of the Machines in your graveyard, including Synchro monsters and Samurai Destroyer himself. This floating effect can be triggered by any form of removal, making it somewhat unavoidable.

Monsters battling Samurai Destroyer have their effects negated. This makes Samurai Destroyer a good way to get rid of monsters without triggering their floating effects. You can also attack into monsters and ignore their self ATK boosts.

Useful support to help with making some plays since it can be considered a 1 card synchro that's somewhat efficient.

This can only special summon 0 DEF monster, but since it's also a tuner, the only good options are Taotie and Suanni, which can be used to make a level 8 or 9 synchro.

This gives the deck access to a very powerful high ATK monster with multiple attacks for some high OTK potential.

However, you'll need to use Suanni since it's the only FIRE attribute monster in the deck, but it's not really a big issue since Suanni can be reliably summoned from the deck with any of the other Yang Zings or Jiaotu's effect.

Has non-targeting monster removal effect and high base ATK.

Strong monster removal option and useful to disrupt your opponent's turn as well.

Can return multiple cards in a single turn and is somewhat easy to make because of Jiaotu and the floating effects.

Decent ATK and is untargetable, which can be enough against certain opponents that rely on targeting effects. It can also be used to synchro up into higher levels.

Useful to block attacks since it covers a lot of monsters. You can summon this during your opponent's turn if you have Chiwen in the grave and can float into a Suanni from the deck.

To help unclog your field if you try to make a play but gets interrupted.
