Something Rauzes wants to say

Hello world.

My Name Is Rauzes,
And I have remotely mind controlled Mike in order to post this blog post.

Whats this? You want mike to do a head stand before continuing with this post?
I love this crowd.
Sure. Why not.



Had your fun?
Ok lets start.

Today, I bring to you a fun light based deck.
It utilizes boss cards that are "too heavy" or "too difficult" to use in the current meta, to explosive results.
It can churn out Exceeds rather well, or can abandon that idea all together and just focus on beatdown.

Card Choices:

Photon Lizard:
For opening with. Tutors either Thrasher or Crusher, depending which part of the quick exceed you need.
As the deck doesnt utilize too many Normal summons, you can tutor the 2k/2.1k power attackers with ease

Effect Veiler:
Because you need 3 to be anywhere near anti meta.
Oh whats this? Yugioh has no "anti-meta" anymore?
Signs of overpowered format.

Honest:
Seriously? Youre asking why I'm putting this in?

Photon Thrasher.
Your special summon, your best friend.
Sets up exceeds, whacks for 21k.
Photon Crusher
Your second best friend. 2k. Food for Galaxy Eyes, as well as Exceed food.
Pretty much the only other card that would eat up a normal summon.

ZW- Unicorn Spear
Summon for 1.9k Light.
Attach for 1.9k equip magic for Hope Ray(well come to why hope ray with no effect but attached ZW Unicorn is GOOD on the first turn)
Also, 1.9k Light. Did I mention?
Good beatstick.
Honestly, 1 is enough because its just to give the deck a balanced number of opener pressure appliers

Cyber Dragon
Beatstick, for early game pressure.
2.1k is a good early game attacker, taking out most face downs.
Take into account how much size matters once skill drain comes out
You want to sit behind this guy in the early game.
Once again, there are no other openers that are LIGHT.

Guardian of Order
Once you get spamming you get spamming them. Pretty much here only for size
And level 8. We'll come to this later.

Lightray Gearfreed
Level 8, whom requires 5 or more different Lights in graveyard to special summon from hand at no cost.
So, the deck aims to rush out those 5 different lights in the graveyard, for the free special summon of beatstick
Without drain, youd want him to stand alone or with a few Crushers/Hope next to him, to maximize his next to no cost of negating spell/trap
Being a level 8 thats easily special summoned with high attack, it can be food for Galaxy Eyes.

Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon
One of the few "anti-meta" cards.
Beatstick, Photon, Neo Galaxy Eyes...
why not.

Spell Choices

Monster Reborn, Heavy Storm, Dark Hole, Book of Moon. 3 Cyclone
These cards are staples.

ROTA: To search your Photon Thrasher/Crusher.
See Photon Lizard.

Future Fusion:
The only "unique" card in the spell lineup.
Your only target is Twin Photon Lizard.
Basically, this doubles as your future fusion to quickly dump light monsters, in late game thins your deck of useless photons.
Your targets will be, in early game: 1 Galaxy Eyes, 1 Photon Lizard.
This means that if you special summon Twin Photon Lizard, you would release it to bring out Galaxy Eyes, and a photon Lizard.
Then, sack photon lizard for a search, and go for some exceeds/beatdown.
Late game, you would probally just thin out those photon lizards, and galaxy eyes.

Trap lineup
Solemn Judgement, Torrential. Solemn Warning/Compulsary Evacuation Device
Control.

Skill Drain
For killing everything under the sun. Your blood and backbone of deck.


Extra Deck
1 Twin Photon Lizard
Because you wont use more than 1 for future fusion
1 Chimeratech Fortress
Because Tinplate Gadget is so OP

1 Catastor
You never know when you gotta summon that Effect Veiler
1 Brionac
One of the other synchroes that make it to "just keep one in for emergencies" level

1 No. 30 Acid Golem
You only need 1 Rank 3 exceed, so why not play one that uses skill drain?
Not going to come out.
Can also be other R3s

2 No. 32 Hope
2 CNo. 32 Hope Ray
Now I come to your light dumping turbo.
Now, Lightray Gearfreed requires 5 types of Light to be in the graveyard.
Although most main decks dont have any mechanism to dump light well, since theyre not Dark.
The extra deck does.
Keep in mind that Chaos Exceeds can be performed at any time during the game, so you can chaos exceed a hope with 8k life.
Special summon a Photon Thrasher, normal a crusher, exceed a hope, chaos exceed out hope ray.
Now, let Hope Ray die after whacking around a bit.
Now, allow me to point out the fact that your graveyard now has 4 Light monsters, and 4 different ones!
By exceeding hope into hope ray, you effectively pulled out 2 Light monsters for Gear Freed for nowhere.
Hope Ray is also there you want to do funny final turn stuff.

HC Excalibur.
Slasher + Crusher = 4k. Delicious.
Light.

Photon Butterfly Asassin
For Photon.
Can be Blade ARmor Ninja

Maestroke
Nice card to have, but kinda small under Skill Drain
Tyrus Keeper Of Genesis
Any other Rank 5 fits here. Only Cyber Dragon + Cyber Dragon.
Drop for another R4 if you want.

Gimmick Puppet #1 and Gimmick Puppet #2
Do the same thing.
Rank 8 exceed that can blow stuff up. Either one works because its only for dire situations in which theyll come out.

Neo Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon.
Because Exceed summoning this guy is just so epic.
And you CAN exceed summon this guy!
Guardian of Order!
Lightray Gear Freed!
Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon!

exceed for FINAL TURN!

For people who cant get this card dirt cheap, replace with R4.

You can tailor your extra deck to include:
Illumiknight
Blade Armor Knight
Shock Ruler
Inverz Roach
Lavalbal Chain(Not too reccomended)
No. 50 Black Corn


Deck as a whole would apply constant beatdown and try to rush out some 2k+ whackers, and push the opponent to below 4k on turn 1 if possible.

Do what you can to get in control of the game, and force out as much meaning from big attacks as possible.

I dont play in Duality because losing special summoning = entire deck arrested.
Losing your turns for cards is a possibility, so you can play in Card card D if you so wish.

Keep in mind that the exceed gimmick is to rush out Gear Freed, and the deck would rather beatdown than give up those monsters for tricky exceeds.

If you can overextend and get a Neo Galaxy Eyes out...


DO IT!!
Because it hitting the field is so epic.

And if it gets its effect off, stand up and declare FINAL TURN!!!

Thats all for today
