Eatos Gladiator Beasts

This is an experimental Gladiator Beast build tailored with a wide arsenal of anti-meta cards.

Tech Cards

Gladiator Beasts rarely hit the graveyard, and they can be recycled by the effects of Gladiator Beast Darius and Gladiator Beast Equeste, so this deck can run Guardian Eatos to help defeat strong threats. Guardian Eatos can special summon herself from your hand if you have no monsters in your graveyard, and you can special summon multiple copies of her in a turn as long as her summoning condition is still met. This deck can also run Dimensional Fissure to keep monsters out of either player's graveyard.

Trap Stun negates the effects of all other traps on the field for a turn, so you can attack the opponent without worry! Trap Stun and Dark Bribe are super effective against discard traps like Raigeki Break, Karma Cut, and Phoenix Wing Wind Blast!

Mask of Restrict and Zombie World are hard counters against Frog, Monarch, and Plant decks. Mask of Restrict prevents all forms of tributing, so it renders Enemy Controller, Tytannial, Princess of Camellias, and Super Solar Nutrient useless and prevents Caius the Shadow Monarch and Gigaplant from being tribute summoned. Zombie World prevents tribute summoning as well, unless it's for the uncommon zombie monsters, but more importantly, it disrupts most type-based strategies by transforming all monsters on the field and in either player's graveyards into zombies.

Ancient Forest is a unique floodgate that prevents flip monster effects, such as from the popular Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter, Gravekeeper's Spy, and Super-Nimble Mega Hamster. Also, it destroys monsters that have attacked at the end of the battle phase, but the Gladiator Beasts can avoid this effect by tagging out before it resolves.

Swords of Concealing Light can break established boards with ease by flipping your opponent's monsters face-down. It's great against combo heavy decks that don't typically play a lot of backrow, such as Plants, Dragons, and Lightsworn.
