The deck lives and dies by the field spell, Pacifis, The Phantasm City; consequently, 3 copies of it and a searcher, Planet Pathfinder, are used. Pacifis has two primary effects:
- When a Normal Monster is summoned, search for a "Phantasm Spiral" card
- After the resolution of an opponent's card effect, Special Summon a lvl 8 Normal token to your field
Search the Phantasm Spiral trap cards to control the field and take victory. Phantasm Spiral equip cards help summon the 2900 Attk Phantasm Spiral Dragon to push for that extra bit of damage, and Cardcar D gives draw power.
The Paleozoic trap cards not only assist in controlling the field, but also count as Normal monsters when Summoned from the graveyard, and thus can trigger Pacifis' effect to search for a Phantasm Spiral card.
Fists of the Unrivaled Tenyi operates as a powerful omni-negate, and should your opponent destroy it, Summons a 4500 Attk Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from the deck.
Sea Stealth Attack not only recycles and protects your field spell, but banishing your token as a response to opponent card effects guarantees a Pacifis search, and it also provides a destruction effect during battle for your lvl 8 token and Phantasm Spiral Dragon.
The Extra Deck should almost never be used, as it locks you out of the Phantasm Spiral card effects. Use only as a toolbox when absolutely necessary.
