Deck Primer

Spright Bystial Synchron (Known hereafter as "SBS") is a combination of several archetypes that synergize very well together to form Masterduel's current top 3 deck. This strategy turbos out level 10 synchro boss monsters like Baronne De Fleur, Full Armor Master and Chengying while completing the full Spright combo line for additional negates/interruptions/follow-up.

Chaos Ruler sits as a centerpiece uniting all three strategies into one singular coherent deck. When Chaos Ruler banishes itself after you use it as material on the field, Assault Synchron can summon it again from the Banished pile! This means that Chaos Ruler can be used as material a whopping three times (Once on original synchro summon, second when it resurrects itself from the GY, and a third when Assault Synchron summons it from the banished pile). 3 level 8 bodies can make multiple level 10 synchros like Baronne, Chengying and Full Armor Master while providing material for your Spright combo afterwards!

Since Ishizu Tearlaments and Branded have had their wings clipped by recent banlists, perhaps now it's time for Spright to take the #1 spot!

ARCHETYPES AND DECKBUILDING

Three archetypes combine together to form SBS.

The Spright cards form the main body and strategy of this deck being essential pieces to make Chaos Ruler -> Level 10 Synchros, then proceeding to full Spright combo with negates and follow-up. Spright Elf can also re-summon Assault Synchron from GY, allowing you to make another level 10 synchro with it, or go further into your Spright line since its a level 2.

The Bystial cards function simultaneously as handtraps, beatsticks and level 6/8 bodies to synchro with! Any Bystial + level 2 tuner now makes your level 10 synchro of choice due to Accel Stardust Dragon!

The last type of cards in this deck are the Synchrons AKA level 2 tuners. Assault Synchron is a key piece in the strategy, and seeing this card (either by drawing it, Tuning's search or milling it) is integral to the gameplan. Blackwing Sharnga and Psy-Frame Gear Gamma also are alternative level 2 tuners that summon themselves for free, enabling synchro plays and Spright special summons. Shinobi Necro is a garnet to be sent to the GY by Spright Sprind so it can be banished in the GY - summoning itself from the banished pile.

Despite the three archetypes in this deck, SBS has room for 12 generic cards! Called By and Crossout are used to counter the inevitable "handtrap wars" that you'll experience on ladder. Maxx C and Ash Blossom are basically mandatory to play in high level ladder, so they're included. The Psy-Frame Package also functions as a counter to handtraps, since many effects in this strategy occur in the hand without summoning a monster, effectively baiting out a response from your opponent so you can "Gamma" them. One Gamma that resolves also gives you a free level 10 synchro when coupled with Accel Stardust! x2 Emergency Teleport is included in the Psy-Frame package so you can get a free level 2 tuner on field so synchro/Spright plays are available.

COMBOS AND GAMEPLAN

The strategy of SBS is to summon powerful boss monsters and control your opponent's plays with negates/interruption. Baronne, Chengying, Full Armor Master and Avramax are all heavy hitters that end games pretty fast. The hard part is comboing to get to your boss monsters! This deck isn't linear especially due to how random Chaos Ruler's mills are. The combos/endboard vary greatly depending on what cards you draw and mill in your strategy.

Basically, you turbo out Chaos Ruler either by using Bystial + level 2 tuner, or through Spright + level 2 tuner and you go from there. Depending on your mills, you get endboards of differing strength, but generally they have 1-2 level 10 synchros, Spright negate board with Elf, I:P Masquerena and a hand full of handtraps/follow-up.

Here are the combos of this deck to summon Chaos Ruler:

Assault Synchron + Spright Blue = Chaos Ruler + Caligo Crow

Special Summon Assault Synchron with it's own effect.
Special Summon Spright Blue. Search Spright Jet.
Special Summon Spright Jet. Search Spright Starter.
Synchro summon Cupid Pitch using Spright Blue + Assault Synchron. Increase Cupid Pitch's level to 6.
Synchro summon Chaos Ruler using Cupid Pitch + Spright Jet.
CL1 Chaos Ruler to add 1 light/dark and mill 4 cards, CL2 Cupid Pitch to search for Caligo Claw Crow (Level 2 extender for Spright plays).

Level 6 Bystial + level 2 tuner = Chaos Ruler

Special summon your Level 6 Bystial by banishing a light/dark from either grave.
Summon your Level 2 tuner (Assault Synchron, Gamma, Sharnga, Shinobi)
Synchro summon Accel Stardust Dragon using your Level 6 Bystial + Level 2 Tuner.
Activate Accel Stardust Dragon's effect to summon your Level 2 Tuner from GY.
Synchro summon Chaos Ruler using Accel Stardust Dragon + Level 2 Tuner. Chaos Ruler's effect adds 1 light/dark and mill 4 cards.

After summoning Chaos Ruler - depending on your hand, mills and searches, you can summon multiple level 10 synchros before locking yourself into level 2s by doing the full Spright combo. Full Spright combo is achieved by either hard drawing Spright Blue/Jet/Starter, or summoning two level 2/link-2 monsters to make Gigantic Spright.

To learn all the nuances of this deck, I advise that you will have to keep experimenting and practicing with the combos and starting hands. The lack of linear combo lines in this deck after summoning Chaos Ruler make it difficult to create a guide for it, since not one straightforward combo exists due to the randomness of mills and the starting hand's playstarters and extenders.

After all your efforts, you should have an enboard with a mix of level 10 synchros, I:P Masquerena and Spright Elf with Spright Red/Carrot! You may even have Branded Beast + Regained in your backrow, providing extra utility and resources with your Bystial cards.

GENERAL TIPS

Keep in mind that Spright Starter and Gigantic Spright lock you into only level/rank/link-2s! Don't lock yourself out of your combos or Bystial monsters!
Many decks don't have an easy answer to Full Armor Master making him an auto-win in some match-ups. Summoning him means your opponent will have to deal with an unaffected 3K body backed by a quick effect destruction (Sharga's effect in GY).
Spright Sprind's target to send to the GY is Shinobi Necro. Your Chaos Ruler or Bystial can then banish Shinobi in GY, so it can trigger it's special summon from banished pile giving you access to Synchro/Spright plays.
After weakening your opponent's plays/board with handtraps, it is often easily broken by Bystial cards. Try to do the Bystial plays first and threaten battle phase before starting your main combo to bait out interruption.
This deck struggles vs. backrow heavy decks, especially those that turbo out floodgates. Most interactions this deck has is anti-monster, not anti-spell/trap. Full Armor Master (unaffected with quick effect pop) and Spright Carrot (spell/trap negate) and Branded Beast (quick effect pop) are your best answers to these match-ups.
When choosing to deploy either Branded Regained or Beast, consider the game state. Get Regained if you want to play the grindgame to out-resource your opponent. Get Beast if you feel like you have a FTK board and you want 1 more interruption on top of it.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

Assault Synchron is a game-changer for many strategies. Spright Bystial Synchron takes full advantage of the sheer combo capability that Assault Synchron offers by looping Chaos Ruler who was once near inaccessible once it entered the banished pile! Summoning Baronne, Chengying and Full Armor Master with an Avramax during your opponent's turn using I:P Masquerena makes me feel so utterly badass and powerful - it's like I got a JRPG party or fantasy anime cast backing me up in Masterduel!

Spright Bystial Synchron is such a solid, safe and versatile strategy that I quickly reached Masters 1 rank with it! When properly piloted, it actually beats almost everything ladder has to offer! When almost every card is a combo piece/starter, have 8 anti-Maxx C cards, and wield 14 handtraps, only bad luck and misplays are the factors that lead to game losses. This deck's non-linear combos rewards skilled players for their proper decision making, resource management and combo lines - so if you think you're good enough to pilot Spright Bystial Synchron, play it! This deck will certainly give you a great Masterduel experience, and perhaps carry you to victory!
