Hey everyone, Archfiend Guy here, bringing you a Yubel deck! Yubel is awesome, fun to play, and really strong. Full video deck guide is linked for anyone interested.
Starters:
- Samsara D Lotus
- Nightmare Throne
- Dark Beckoning Beast / Opening of the Spirit Gates
One Card Combo example (Nightmare Throne):
- Activate Nightmare Throne, add Samsara
- Summon Samsara, activate effect, summon Spirit of Yubel, set Nightmare Pain
- Activate Nightmare Pain, pop Spirit, add Squirmer
- CL1 Spirit, CL2 Throne, search Terror Incarnate, summon, summon Yubel
- Special Summon Squirmer, link it and Terror into Soul King Yama, add Sharvara
- Sharvara pop Yubel, summon itself, float into Terror
- Link Sharvara + Yama into Soul of Rage, set Escape of the Unchained
- Activate Squirmer, summon Yubel
- End Phase, Yubel tribute Terror, float into Ultimate Nightmare. Samsara Special Summon itself
- Their turn: Activate Escape as a disrupt, popping Soul and their card. CL1 Yama, CL2 Soul (add Spirit, revive Soul). At THIS point, you can opt to pop Yubel and float into Terror. Then, you can use Samsara's disrupt on Terror to float into both Ultimate Nightmare and Spirit of Yubel off Throne (setting Eternal Favourite for the clapback).
- Finally, Soul of Rage effect into S:P for 3 disruptions. A total of 5-6 disruptions off of one card.'
Two Card Combo Example (Dark Beckoning Beast + Nightmare Throne)
- Activate Throne, add Lotus
- Summon Beast, add Gates, activate Gates, add Beast
- Summon Lotus, activate effect into Spirit of Yubel, set Pain
- Activate Gates, discard Beast, summon Beast
- Overlay both Beasts into Djinn Buster (5th summon, eliminate Nibiru threat)
- Flip Pain, pop Spirit, search Squirmer, float off Spirit into Yubel, float off Throne into Terror
- Special Summon Squirmer, link Squirmer + Terror into Soul King Yama, add Sharvara
- Sharvara pop Yubel, summon itself, float into Terror
- Link Sharvara + Yama into Soul of Rage, set Escape of the Unchained
- Activate Squirmer, summon Yubel
- End Phase, Yubel tribute Terror, float into Ultimate Nightmare. Samsara Special Summon itself
- Same disruptions as above, but with Djinn Buster
There's way more than just these two. But points to consider:
If you have Opening of the Spirit Gates on the field and a level 10 (e.g. Spirit of Yubel), then set Pain and pop it with Sharvara before using it. You can then activate Gates to bring Pain back into your hand. Activate Pain, go off.
Eternal Favourite cannot super poly the moment you flip the card up because of game mechanics. Also, you cannot activate Spirit of Yubel's effect off of it UNLESS it is a chain link 2 or higher. So always chain Favourite if you're doing this.
The optimal Nightmare Throne floats are off Spirit or Terror Incarnate so that you float both ways, letting you go into Yubel/Spirit (starting the floating all over again) and Ultimate Nightmare/Terror to float up.
Quick OTK:
- Summon Lotus, effect into Spirit, add Pain
- Activate Throne, search Yubel
- Pain pops Spirit, add Geist Grinder Golem, float into Yubel, float into Terror Incarnate
- Geist effect target Yubel, summon both. 9000 Damage + 2000 with Gustav Max
Finally, for a bonus 2 card 8 interrupt combo that uses Promethean Princess:
INTERRUPTIONS
- Soul of Rage (S:P = 3 interrupts)
- Escape
- Samsara
- Spirit of Yubel in hand
- Promethean Princess pop
- Amblowhale pop from GY
RECURSION
- Duelittle recycles Sharvara
FLOATS
- Throne into whatever (best trigger = Terror Incarnate)
- Spirit into Yubel
CLAPBACK
- Eternal Favourite
Use Soul of Rage 1st into S:P, when Yama pops Amblowhale, revive Soul of Rage to make Escape a double pop.
