Nouvelles - March 2024
Deck Primer
Tribute their board to summon the almighty Hungry Burger. Life will make sense after that.
This deck goes blind second. It can go first, since you have mostly quick effects, but your opponent will put everything in defense position. Coward.
Basic combo line :
There is no single combo line in this deck, but multiple smaller ones.
- Opening Poissonniere de Nouvelles is great, opening Diviner of the Herald is optimal. Normal Summon Diviner of the Herald, send Herald of the Arc Light, search the Ritual Monster that fits the situation best and make Diviner level 6. Tribute Diviner of the Herald with a Ritual Spell, or even Enemy Controller, and Special Summon Poissonniere de Nouvelles from the deck, search Recette de Poisson (Fish Recipe).
- If Poissonniere de Nouvelles is on the field when you Ritual Summon something, always use it first. It will go back to Extra Deck then in the Pendulum Zone, and its Pendulum effect allows for further play.
- If you open Pre-Preparation of Rites, get Recette de Poisson (Fish Recipe) and Buerillabaisse de Nouvelles if your opponent's board is mostly ATK position or empty. If it is mostly DEF, get Recette de Viande (Meat Recipe) and Confiras de Nouvelles.
- Buerillabaisse de Nouvelles's excavation effect and Balameuniere de Nouvelles's search effect : prioritize Nouvelles Restaurant "At Table" as the target. It unlocks a lot of other plays.
- Nouvelles Restaurant "At Table" has a search on activation, a shuffle to deck from hand + draw in Main Phase, and a shuffle to deck from GY + draw in End Phase. If you did not open Chef's Special Recipe, get it on activation. If you opened Hungry Burger, either shuffle it back to deck and draw 1 in MP1, or use it as Tribute fodder and shuffle it back to deck to draw 1 in End, as you need it in Deck for Baelgrill de Nouvelles's quick effect.
- Concours de Cuisine (Culinary Confrontation) is a ridiculously great card. Special Summon Poissonniere de Nouvelles on your field, Patissciel Couverture on your opponent's field. Bonus points if you summon it in the Extra Monster Zone, as it - might - block his Link plays. On Poissonniere de Nouvelles's Summon, search either Recette de Poisson (Fish Recipe) or Buerillabaisse de Nouvelles, whichever you did not open. It is later used from GY, ban it to activate smaller Nouvelles ignition effects (more below).
- Voici la Carte (Today's Menu) is, in my opinion, the one card you do not want to get interrupted. Bait interruptions before activating it. It search both Ritual Monster and Spell from deck. Best picks for it is Buerillabaisse de Nouvelles and Confiras de Nouvelles, as their Ritual Spell have additional effects when summoning them precisely. Another great option is Poissonniere de Nouvelles, although you will not add a Ritual Spell. if you opponent chooses it. If you are looking for a quick finish and do not need the smaller Nouvelles, pick Poeltis de Nouvelles and Foie Glasya de Nouvelles.
- Opening Impcantation monsters is nice, as it gets you both a Ritual Monster or Spell, and Tribute fodder. Activate Impcantation Talismandra by revealing a Ritual Monster to get a Ritual Spell, activate Impcantation Candoll to do the opposite. You have to be extra careful though, as Impcantation monsters on the field lock you out of the Extra Deck. That includes Patissciel Couverture on opponent's field, meaning you would not be able to activate Concours de Cuisine (Culinary Confrontation).
- Summoning Buerillabaisse de Nouvelles with Recette de Poisson (Fish Recipe) additionally searches Recette de Viande (Meat Recipe), for more Ritual plays. Summoning Confiras de Nouvelles with Recette de Viande (Meat Recipe) switches your opponent's board to ATK position, allowing you to Tribute them. Remember the second one, it may clutch you the win.
Nouvelles monsters ignition effects explained :
- A Nouvelles monster will Summon another Nouvelles monster that is either 1 or 2 Levels higher than themselves. Level 1 will Summon Level 2 or 3, Level 2 will Summon Level 3 or 4, and so on.
- Buerillabaisse de Nouvelles (Level 1) and Confiras de Nouvelles (Level 2), the small ones : an effect or attack has to target them. They will Tribute themselves, and an ATK position monster on the field, not necessarily your opponent's field (summoning Impcantations in ATK position might make sense in that regard). If the second monster you Tribute to activate the effect is Poissonniere de Nouvelles, back to the Pendulum zone she goes. They cannot attack a monster to trigger thein effect, they have to be attacked.
Best ways to activate their effect are either Poissonniere de Nouvelles's Pendulum effect to Summon itself back from backrow, by targetting a monster on field and changing its battle position (target the small Nouvelles, activate quick effect); or Concours de Cuisine (Culinary Confrontation)'s GY effect, ban it from GY to target a monster on field and boost it (again, target the small Nouvelles, activate quick effect).
- Poeltis de Nouvelles (Level 3) and Foie Glasya de Nouvelles (Level 4), the medium ones : an effect or attack has to target any monster. They will Tribute a face-up Nouvelles monster on your field, and an ATK position monster on the field, not necessarily your opponent's field. That means you can keep it on the field if you have a smaller Nouvelles to Tribute for the first part. It also means that if they attack anything, the effect triggers.
Great way to activate their effect is Enemy Controller's two effects, or to use the Nouvelles medium monsters as interruption. An effect targets them for banish ? Tribute them, summon the big boys.
- Balameuniere de Nouvelles (Level 5) : he can inherently Tribute any ATK position monster on the opponent's field to Summon the Level 6 from deck or hand, no ignition condition. Note that it is a quick effect only if it has been summoned by the effect of a Nouvelles monster (the medium ones). You Tribute nothing from your field, it purely is a removal.
- Baelgrill de Nouvelles (Level 6), the boss monster : he will Dark Ruler No More your opponent's field on Summon, without the "no damage" penalty (Chad move), then only if it has been summoned by the effect of a Nouvelles monster, will Tribute every single one of your opponent's monsters, ATK of DEF alike. He can also inherently Tribute any ATK position monster on the opponent's field to Summon Hungry Burger, as a quick effect, no ignition condition. You can activate that quick effect in chain with the Dark Ruler summon effect, to Tribute a monster for Burger before the mass boardwipe.
- Hungry Burger : best boi.
Options and tips :
- Great budget option for Diviner is Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands. If so, you can remove the N'tss and Herald copies in your Extra Deck, and play some more Knightmares or bigger Links. Hopefully, Diviner gets reprinted soon (RA02, my beloved, please).
- Using your own monsters as Tribute fodder for the ATK position monster Tribute of your smaller Nouvelles is not the worst idea, especially if you summoned 2 Impcantations and used their effect. It floods your field with Ritual Monsters, and will unlock your Extra Deck when they leave the field. I know they have 0 ATK, but chances are your opponent will not attack them, since attacking anything will trigger the medium Nouvelles.
- Patissciel Couverture's destruction effect to place it in Pendulum Zone will very probably never, ever trigger. You play Concours de Cuisine (Culinary Confrontation) mostly to turbo out Poissonniere de Nouvelles and its search effect on summon, and to Tribute Patissciel and that's it.
- Impcantation package is dirt cheap, and comes in the same set as Nouvelles (Wild Survivors). Impcantation Chalislime is often too much of an investment, discarding 1 is punishing in an all-gas deck, so Candoll and Talismandra are enough, but to each his own.
- As in every Ritual deck, Cyber Angel Benten is also to consider. I chose to not run it in this one to stay at 40, but going 43 for 3 copies is not a bad call either, searching Diviner of the Herald (or Manju, if you go for the budget option) is always nice. If Poissonniere de Nouvelles was also LIGHT, I'd run 3 without skipping a beat.
Extra Deck :
- Patissciel Couverture at 2, so you can use Concours de Cuisine (Culinary Confrontation) on your turn and on your opponent's turn also. It is a quick effect after all.
- Elder Entity N'tss and Herald of the Arc Light are self-explanatory. Diviner of the Herald sends one to the GY, to either destroy or search. Herald, in particular, can even be summoned if your Diviner gets Impermed, then you just link it away to trigger the effect anyway.
- Relinquished Anima if your opponent has a poorly placed scary monster. Bonus effect : stealing monsters feels good.
- Knightmare package is always appreciated. Very versatile, and they link well with Dyna Mondo.
- Dyna Mondo is a good way to link away any monster you steal with Enemy Controller while still having plus with it. Use the unfortunate victim, shuffle something else from your opponent's field, return Hungry Burger from GY to deck to set up Baelgrill de Nouvelles, then Tribute to bring back a medium Nouvelles. All that in a sweet little Link-2 package.
- Nephthys, the Sacred Flame, because who doesn't like a towers ? Absolute beatstick in a deck that lacks high ATK bodies (Baelgrill de Nouvelles is at the top with a whopping 2400 ATK), and mightily hard to remove.
