The non-Tuner Main Deck monsters have a set of two very versatile effects: the first one ranges from the
set-up of Synchro/Xyz Summons to a
boost on offensiveness; the second one triggers when they are banished and ranges from card retrieving to card destruction.
"
Shiranui Spectralsword" is currently the only Tuner of the archetype and allows the player to Special Summon a Zombie-Type Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck, by banishing itself alongside with a non-Tuner Zombie-Type monster, both from the Graveyard. Although this Special Summon is not treated as a Synchro Summon, this effect allows the player to unleash monsters that would normally require specific Synchro Materials, notably "
Archfiend Zombie-Skull".
There are currently three boss monsters in the Archetype, all of them being Synchro Monsters: "
Shiranui Samuraisaga", "
Shiranui Shogunsaga" and "
Shiranui Sunsaga". "Shiranui Samuraisaga" can recycle one of your banished "Shiranui" monsters and then restrain the opponent's aggression; if it ends up being banished, it can weaken one opposing monster's ATK by 500 points. "Shiranui Shogunsaga" has higher stats and a more straightforward set of effects: when it is Special Summoned by any means, it can banish one Zombie-Type monster from the Graveyard in order to raise its 3000 base ATK by an amount equal to the banished monster's ATK; this effect is obviously more powerful when its target is a "Shiranui" monster, that will have its second effect triggered. When it is destroyed, its owner can return one of their banished Zombies with 0 DEF to the Graveyard. "Shiranui Sunsaga" has the highest ATK of the group, at 3500. It's summon effect allows it to recycle any number of Zombie-Type Synchro monsters, banished or in the Graveyard, back into the Extra deck, then destroying cards the opponent controls up to the number of cards recycled by this effect. Its main power comes from its destruction negation, as it can prevent the destruction of any Zombie-type monster (by battle or card effect) by banishing a "Shiranui" monster from the graveyard, saving your monsters and activating the banished monstered effect. Each boss monster is two levels higher than the previous boss, allowing the effect of "Shiranui Spectralsword" to special summon the next boss monster should the previous one be destroyed.
LETS GO OVER THE 3 GANDORA'S their main effects banish and destroy cards while offering a atk boost but at a price. it halves your lp. but clears the field. giga is easy to summon (2 tributes from hand or field) while the others need tributes. to prevent bricking from high lvl cards i use montage dragon. heres how i go about this deck.
i use the grass looks greener to throw cards into the gy. youll notice that most of the cards have effects that activate when sent to the gy. this is the decks main defense and summon engine. while i wait for that... ill summon two level 4 monsters with mezuki, fairytail or a shiranuis effect. (fairy-tail and pot of desire will also help power giga-rays when the time comes) and special summon bagooska to give me time. and help set the field while offering effect negates. this is when i set cards like peropero or electroturtle if they are in hand.
after a couple turns of throwing cards into the grave and banish pile. i use spectralsword or anothers effect to special summon the higher lvl shiranui and keep that going to test and clear the field. just gage it from there. once you hit that point its extremly easy to spam the field. phantom chaos is in the deck to futher trigger gigas effect. other than that have fun. hope you guys like the deck!
this is for the pc (og) version so i follow the banlist. but for mobile players (ygopro) add 2 more copies of the grass looks greener and take out a unizombie and book of life and youre set.
