Witchcrafter: deck recipe [July 25]

Madame Verre is your main boss monster and your strategy is to get her on the field as quickly as possible. She can be easily Special Summoned from your deck by other Witchcrafter monsters, Special Summoned from the hand with Unveiling, and revived with Holiday.

With the Witchcrafter Spells' ability to retrieve themselves, Madame Verre's ATK boost will consistently get your Witchcrafter monsters above most monsters. But be mindful of how many Spells you use or set. Generally, you should keep at least 2 differently named Spells on hand, or 3 when facing HERO and other high-power decks.

Because of Madame Verre's high DEF, Concentrating Current can be used to further boost her ATK if you don't have enough Spells on hand or just want to push damage.

Lastly, the mass monster effect negation is what differentiates Madame Verre from any other beater. By just discarding 1 Spell you get a temporary equivalent to Destiny HERO - Plasma's effect that can be used in response to your opponent's effect activation. This is good for stopping combo pieces (i.e. Crystron Citree) and search-on-summon monsters (i.e. Vision HERO Faris), usually forcing your opponent to end their turn. The negation can also get rid of protection effects (i.e. Archfiend Zombie-Skull and Red-Eyes Slash Dragon) and remove inherent stats boosts (i.e. Shiranui Shogunsaga and Invoked Purgatrio), and overall just be a very versatile form of disruption. However Madame Verre cannot stop monster effects activated from the graveyard or hand, so floating effects and hand traps will go through.

Ideally you should summon Madame Verre in defense position and have another Witchcrafter onboard to do the actual fighting while being boosted by Madame Verre.

These monsters are used to fast track you into Madame Verre. Normal Summon them then tribute to Special Summon Madame Verre from the deck. Being a Quick Effect makes these effects more potent because you can chain them to cards your opponent activates upon their summoning, dodging Floodgate Trap Hole.

For the discard cost, it is best to discard Unveiling since you'll already be putting Madame Verre on the field. During the End Phase, you can retrieve the Spell you discarded with its own effect.

After being tributed, you can then use Schmeitta and Pittore's graveyard effect to get more Witchcrafter Spells. Use this to get Spells that you don't have a copy onhand to help fuel Madame Verre's effects.

Banish Schmietta and mill a Witchcrafter Spell to the graveyard. You can then recover that Spell with its own effect during the End Phase.

After getting Madame Verre onboard, you should try to summon a Schmietta. This Schmeitta will be your primary attacker and serve as a backup in case your first Madame Verre gets removed.

Banish Pittore to draw a card. This is a straight increase in resources since the discarded Witchcrafter Spell can recover itself during the End Phase.

You can use Schmietta to mill Pitorre to the graveyard and activate her draw effect. Likewise, you can discard Schmietta with Pitorre's effect to use her mill effect.

Waiting for the Witchcrafter Spells to recover themselves can sometimes be too slow. For this reason you might want to use Genni's graveyard effect to make use of the effect of a Witchcrafter Spell in your graveyard. This also allows you to make use of Holiday twice to swarm your field.

The trade-off is the Witchcrafter Spell you imitate will be banished and this deck doesn't have any interaction with the banish zone.

All Witchcrafter Spells have a unique primary effect and a common recycle effect. The recycling effect is free making it great for maintaining resources and, more importantly, the constant supply of Spells keeps both of Madame Verre's effects fueled.

However, there is some nuance on how to best make use of these Spells since they do have some restrictions. Firstly you cannot recyle a Witchcrafter Spell the turn you activate it. Keep this in mind so you have enough Spells for Madame Verre's effect. Second, even if you don't activate the Spell, you can only recycle one copy of each Spell per turn. Keep this in mind when discarding and milling with Pitorre and Schmietta.

Revive the Witchcrafter you tributed, so you will have a backup Madame Verre summoning. You can also use this to revive a Madame Verre sent to the graveyard by your opponent.

When you activate a Witchcrafter's effect to Special Summon Madame Verre, your opponent can chain something like Raigeki Break to disrupt it. In this case, you can revive the Witchrafter monster and retry Special Summoning Madame Verre.

Holiday is also useful to bring back monsters so you can synchro or XYZ summon easier.

Collaboration is an OTK enabler you should only use on the monster you boost wit Madame Verre boosted. With the ATK boost you would be dealing a ton of damage. You might not even need the second attack if you add Concentrating Current to this combo. Additionally it prevents your opponent from using Spell/Trap cards during battle, letting you attack safely without worrying about battle traps.

When you open with only Madame Verre and a bunch of Spell cards, Unveiling lets you get that Madame Verre onboard. You can even do this during your opponent's turn so that Madame Verre is protected from negation for that turn.

You can make a good board by Special Summoning Madame Verre in defense position with Unveiling. And then Normal Summoning a Witchcrafter for Madame Verre to boost. The low-leveled Witchcrafter can later turn into a back-up Madame Verre.

Patronus can fetch a Spell card every turn while also recovering your Witchcrafter monsters making it a great source of resources.

Later on, you'll want to get rid of Patronus with something like Storm. Then recover all your banished Witchcrafter Spell cards. Occasionally, the amount of resources you get from doing this is enough for an OTK play.

Masterpiece is a one-card combo into Madame Verre. Activate Masterpiece to search a Spell. Banish Masterpiece and a Spell in your graveyard to Special Summon Genni. Tribute Genni and discard the Spell you searched to Special Summon Madame Verre.

Alternatively, you can simply use Masterpiece for its search effect.

Neos Fusion essentially puts Brave Neos on the field for free if all your materials came from the Deck. The best part is milling the fusion material including Elemental HERO Neos, which is a somewhat versatile graveyard setup. Meanwhile Brave Neos simply an easy to summon beater. The first effect is only marginally helpful, letting Brave Neos start with 2600 because Neos will be in the graveyard.

Because Madame Verre already does a great job at stopping monster effects, the tech options in this deck are fully devoted to backrow disruption or others combo.

Free Discard Options for activating disruption cards like Madame Verre or Karma Cut. After using it, you can use it in the grave right away for a card draw.

A pretty good monster removal that also has an added benefit of removing multiple copies of them if they're also in the graveyard. Great against the mirror match, or other decks that uses same name monsters, but good in general too.

A rank 8 Gimmick Puppet XYZ that simply destroy monsters then inflict Damage equal to half of their original ATK and you can use this effect twice.

However, keep in mind that this destruction effect has a restriction where it can only destroy special summoned monsters and its low attack can be bad if you have no protection or a follow-up.

Summonable by using 2 Madame Verres. Situationally useful if your Madame Verres is negatively affected by your opponent's cards. Going into Heliopolis can help clear up space, and you can activate its effect by sending a Madame Verre to the graveyard, then you can special summon it back by using Witchcrafter Holiday.

Abyss Dweller is an anti-Graveyard interaction tech, intended to hinder Decks that activate a ton of effects from the graveyard. It's best to activate this at the start of the opponent's turn, so make sure to toggle Chain to "ON" and activate Abyss Dweller's effect during the opponent's Draw Phase.

Malevolent Sin's effect only temporarily banishes your opponent's monster, but it can help win games if your opponent uses plenty of resources to focus on their 1 boss monster. Together with Schmietta, it's already enough to deal over 4000 damage.

Ranks 3s are summonable by using Pittores. Nightmare Shark helps when going against Big Boss Monster.

A 1 for 1 card removal that works like Diamond Dire Wolf, except this lets you use any other card on your field to destroy. Since some of the cards have effects in the grave or can be recovered during the end phase, you can somewhat freely use them as the cost for its effect.

Fuels the grave so you can get some spells to your hand or ready up the traps. Most of the cards in the deck are fine with being in the grave so this can end up giving a decent advantage. Not being able to declare an attack when using it means that this works best if you get it on turn 1, or if you already have Verre and can play defensive but lacks the spells to attack for game.

Useful as a spell/trap removal and also comes with an extra use in the grave, which synergizes with the deck better than using other spell/trap removals like Mystical Space Typhoon or Cosmic Cyclone.

Madame Verre already disables enemy monster effects, so you only need to worry about protecting your monsters from backrow effects which is exactly why we run Forbidden Lance. The 800 ATK debuff is nothing compared to the thousands of ATK Madame Verre can buff your monster with.

The drawback of not being able to draw a card next turn is less punishing in this deck because of the self-recovery effect of the Witchcrafter spells. Combined with ways to send cards to the grave, you can still get a decent card advantage even if you skip a draw.

If you want to increase the speed of the deck, you can tech in some Lightsworn cards to help fuel the grave. This can come at the cost of some consistency since it's somewhat random, and adding non-Witchcrafter cards can be potentially bricky.

This helps you deal with enemy spell/trap cards since the archetype itself doesn't have good answers to do so. Alternatively, you can go for Raiden, Hand of the Lightsworn if you want more milling, and he activates during your main phase instead of end phase. Go for Minerva if you want a tuner so that you can go for some synchro plays.

Works as a searcher and to fuel the grave. It's very useful if you do add in at least 2 Lightsworn monsters in the deck, but not exactly necessary since it can potentially brick you if you already drew the Lightsworn monsters manually.

In a Lightsworn Engine version of this deck, you want to run Edel incase you mill Madame Verre. Get Edel on the field the way you would Madame Verre and tribute Edel to revive Madame Verre.

Edel is actually a good monster to have onboard alongside Madame Verre. Edel's base stat combined with the boost from Madame Verre make it a formidable beater. And when Madame Verre gets removed, Edel can tribute herself to bring back Madame Verre.
