- (The following is standard PUNK combo) Summon Ze Amin. Ze Amin searches for Foxy Tune.
- Foxy Tune effect to discard 1 card in hand to summon Sharakusai from deck.
- Sharakusai fusion summons Rising Carp, using Sharakusai + Ze Amin.
- Tribute Rising Carp to summon Deer Note and Wa Gon from deck.
- Activate Wa Gon's effect to search for Jam Session from deck.
- Activate Jam Session.
- Synchro summon Dragon Drive using Wa Gon + Deer Note.
- CL1 Dragon Drive to search for Madame Spider from deck, CL2 Deer Note to summon Sharakusai from GY.
- Jam Session's trigger effect draws you 1 card.
- Special summon Madam Spider from hand. Madame Spider searches for PUNK trap from deck.
- Jam Session's trigger effect draws you 1 card a second time.
- (The following is the Gold Pride combo) XYZ summon Chariot Carrie using Sharakusai + Madame Spider.
- Detach 1 material from Chariot Carrie to add from deck to hand Better Luck Next Time! and send to GY Roller Baller.
- Activate Better Luck Next Time to add Captain Carrie from deck.
- Special summon Captain Carrie. Captain Carrie searches Start Your Engines! from deck.
- Set your spells/traps in your backrow. In addition to the PUNK Trap and Start your Engines! you searched, you may have additional Imperms, Crossouts and Called By, etc. to set as backrow. Summon extenders if you want, and if possible summon boss monsters like Psychic End Punisher and Dragite in your EMZ, since you needs your main monster zones free for your Gold Pride monsters.
- Proceed to End Phase. Chariot Carrie activates to summon Captain Carrie from deck. This triggers Better Luck Next Time! to draw 1 card.
- During your opponent's turn, Activate Start your Engines! to summon Leon from deck. Leon summons from GY Roller Baller.
- If you get hit by Droll & Lockbird or Dimension Shifter, your plan B synchro summon Psychic End Punisher. Chances are that your opponent cannot out this monster and you'll be alive next turn to continue counterattack without committing too much of your resources.
- PUNK Gold Pride has an in-engine way to hardcounter the current strongest meta deck! Vs. Kashtira, make summoning Nytro Head a priority. The token it generates on your opponent's board during their Standby Phase makes plays very awkward for Kashtira, if not outright shutting down their entire strategy.
- This deck absolutely sucks vs. backrow floodgates when going second! If you want to take out a card from the Extra Deck, Scrap Dragon is a good way to out a Gozen Match. Ze Amin + Deer Note -> Scrap Dragon. Other than that, my other recommendation vs. spells/traps is to side as much backrow hate as possible versus decks like Labrynth and Runick. Cosmic Cyclone, Lightning Storm and Evenly Matched are your best friends in these backrow heavy match-ups.
- Keep close track of your dangerously low lifepoints and keep your monsters in defense position unless you know you can attack for game! If you're not careful, Masquerade the Blazing Dragon's 600 lifepoint tax, Sky Striker Ace Hayate's direct attack, or Swordsoul Longyuan's 1200 damage burn can quickly end your duel.
- This deck's endboard folds to common board wipes like Evenly Matched and Raigeki, since it has no easy way to negate spells and traps (the limit of Psyframe Gamma makes this deck's S/T negate Baronne, difficult to make). If you feel like your opponent will attempt to boardwipe you, end your board with Psychic End Punisher so you can at least have board presence that can shrug off these high impact cards. If you're allowed full combo, you also likely have 3-6 cards in hand with many of them handtraps, so if you get boardwiped it's not the end of the duel for you.
- If you're feeling truly brave, a 60 card version of the deck is possible by including the card Dark Spirit's Mastery into the deck. Not only does it search Ogre Dance (which in turn searching Ze Amin), but it also searches Lava Golem, a potent board breaker! With Dark Spirit's Mastery, you have a consistent PUNK deck despite having the maximum 60 cards, since it has 18 copies of Ze Amin.
- Not only does Small World search Ze Amin to start your combo, it also searches incredible board breakers such as Kurikara and Lava Golem! From my experience nobody really negates Small World since they'd rather negate a choke point in a combo, so Small World is a great card to open with so you can start clearing your opponent's board.
