Parasite Infestation
After starting hands are dealt, 1 or 2 "Parasite Paracide" cards are added to your opponent's deck face up.

How to use this deck

The combination of "Parasite Infestation" skill and Jade Insect Whistle plays the role of the following three. By using this combo and Mask of the Accursed, reduce your opponent's stamina.

Note: Some players have 4-Starred Ladybug of Doom in their deck. In that case, they can place the monster to the top of their deck for the effect of Jade Insect Whistle.

Parasite combo!

  • "Skips" your opponent's card draw during their Draw Phase.
  • Inflicting 1000 points of effect damage to your opponent's LP.
  • Fills up your opponent's board with Parasite Paracides.

Attack Parasite with Gyaku-Gire Panda

Gyaku-Gire Panda can increase its ATK easily since your opponent will have multiple monsters on his side of the field due to special summoned Parasite Paracide. Pierce battle damage to your opponent's Life Points by beating Parasite Paracide.

Typical 🔥 in every game, Call Of Duty has camping, CSGO has Russians, but it's whatever, for everyone who rage quits playing against this deck (and no I don't use this deck for pieces of 🔥) it's not worth it, just stall and waste as much time as you can, at least this way you can sort of bother the 🔥ous people who like to use this kind of deck

just started this game 3 weeks ago. this is literally the most fun deck i've played so far. lol. so many rage quit from my opponent.
i have only 1 kuriboh, one mask, 1 jade insect, and 1 cocoon but only lost one so far by daedalus.

I'm seeing alot of the Mephist Infernal General variants online. Pretty nasty deck. Not sure if that 5-star bully is just a tech but that hand control from the piercing dmg discard is savage.

Lately, I've seen a lot of this deck in the KC Cup, so this post is my public service for the day, in hopes people will learn how to beat this deck. I want to see people stop playing it. Welcome to the top 5 cards/strategies for beating the Parasite Burn Deck.

#5 is 4-Stared Ladybug of Doom. Obviously, the most annoying part about this deck is how it plays Jade Insect Whistle to take away your draw and Burn you significantly. Ladybug isn't very strong against this deck, but putting it on top will delay the burning at least.

#4 De-Spell. This deck uses 3 Mask of the Accursed to freeze any monster it doesn't like, and burn at the same time. If this deck is a problem, consider De-Spell in addition to the Twisters likely in your deck already.

#3 Trap Jammer. Whether it's Windstorm of Etaqua, Blast Held by a Tribute, or Mirror Wall, this card stops them all.

#4 Reverse Trap. Often, the Burn player will wait for you to fill your Monster Zones, and then Summon Gyaku-Gire Panda to ATK Parasite Paracide for even more damage. Reverse Trap, in addition to Mirror Wall, can make the hit easier to bear, and you will get rid of that worthless insect in the process.

#5 Play more than 20 cards. The Parasite deck thrives off its opponent consistently drawing Paracide from their deck. An obvious counter is to make that less consistent via a larger deck. This isn't as bad as it might seem, provided you have enough powerful staples to fill the void spots, and can buy you time to beat them down before drawing the Parasite.


Those are my experiences; feel free to add your own ideas on beating this deck, because I really hate it.

As someone who has been primarily playing Weevil during KC cup, I would say that Ladybug is one of the most annoying things you can bring. It's better than making your deck more than 20 cards, since Whistle still brings the parasites to the top, and it lowers your chance to draw counter to Mask of the Accursed. Use Keith's Switcheroo to send back ladybug, making Whistle a dead draw entirely.

As someone who plays a lot of parasite the only useful tip is Reverse Trap (it's also pretty good against other decks).

4 star bug does stop a parasite but it's a 1-for-1 on their draw (it's useless against a deck that doesn't run 4 star monsters).

Trap jammer is pretty useless. I run 3 traps (wind, curse, michizure) and they are all things I'm fine with going 1-for-1 on.

I've been maining weevil since i got gardna and 2 coccoons and im tired of seeing all these decks glorify the jade insect whistles. more times than not i prefer the skill to just slow the 20 card decks down while you win. Its not about puttin parasite on top its a about controlling the game and thats how i got to top 5k with a very low budget weevil deck.

There is a bug with Bandit Keith his skill, if he pulls your parasite with switcheroo it becomes his parasite. So the effect is negated..

Not a bug, Switcheroo counters Parasite because it was not drawn through a normal draw phase. Last Gamble works the same way.

I have a pretty easy time against Rex, Mako, Mai and Relinquished decks, but I always struggle against variations of this one (the one in the post is a pretty outdated version, actually).

To the one who is interested in a more recent version. throw away 2-3 jade insect whistles. take out 1 gyaku and 1 parasite paracide. place in pumprincess and hane hane (or 4 star for dinos) take out the jar of greeds and put inside mirror wall and staunch defender, its niche but ends games if all u have is a cocoon and mirror wall. next you need e-econs.

Rex deck or something with a lot of Order to Charge and ritual summons

Rex can't beat it. Once parasite is on the field they lose the field spell bonus and your Panda becomes stronger than their Dinos. I don't struggle against them. Also instead of cocoon I run shadowslayer to attack directly.

Rex deck sucks. His field spell bonus is useless when parasite is on the field. It's impossible to counter Parasite deck. Unless someone can tell me the secret to beating it.

Daedalus is pretty hard to deal with, especially since the parasites give you tribute fodder. Any Keith deck with Switcheroo and 4-star Ladybug, since you can search ladybug off whistle, send it back and repeat.

Dont play Jade Insect Whistle. Its useless if ur Opponent has Insect cards in his Deck except parasite paracide. I made the experience and the Card was always useless for me.

You can put 2 copies of the whistle, you can get a fast win by using it sometimes.

I run 2 copies, and it is only useless against Keith with switcheroo, since he can replace the ladybug. Even if someone else (Rex for example) draws a ladybug, that still essentially denies him a draw, since the bug is useless vs Weevil. Without insects, it can help facilitate victories. It's very good in most situations.

The other day a guy put 2 Parasite Paracide in my deck with Parasite Infestation skill. But according to this wiki you can only get 1 copy of the card. So Weevil's skill put a random number of Parasite Paracide into foe's deck regardless of how many copies of the card you have?

Correct. You can only get one. However, the skill parasite infestation adds 1-3 parasites to your deck (it's always random). So on top of the 1 u can have, the skill adds 1-3 more
