Since its inception, PUNK has gained notoriety as an engine, enabling 1 card OTKs, Halq/Auroradon combo without normal summon and etc. Competitively, PUNK was only viable as an engine smushed into goodstuff decks – it was never good “pure.”
This all changes with the release of the "Sprites of Miracle" pack in Masterduel, with two new ridiculously strong PUNK support cards printed in the set! The field spell “Extreme Session” is an extender AND pot of greed, all in one card! Dragon Drive searches any level 3 psychic tuner on summon (including Ghost Ogre) and is also an extender if your opponent chains to your PUNK effect!
Extreme Session and Dragon Drive enable a mass handtrap playstyle for PUNK, allowing it to still fight through board wipes like the all-too-common Dark Ruler No More! This support granted the previously unfit engine to top competitively – all on its own archetypal legs!
Want to see the deck in action? Scroll to the very bottom for the Youtube video!This deck is a variant of my "Pure PUNK" deck guide I made last year, so If you want a complete guide with all the combos, tips and gameplant,
visit my Pure PUNK article linked here.
Small World is amazing since it replaces a brick in your hand to add one of your starters! The following are Small World search combos:
- Activate Small World -> Any Orochi/Effect Veiler -> D.D. Crow -> Obtain PUNK Ogre Dance (starts PUNK combo line)
- Activate Small World -> Psy-Frame Gamma/Effect Veiler -> Nibiru -> Obtain PUNK Foxy Tune (starts PUNK combo line)
- Activate Small World -> Ash Blossom/Ghost Ogre -> PUNK Deer Note -> Any Level 3 Punk Tuner (starts PUNK combo line)
- Activate Small World -> Any Level 3 Punk Tuner -> Effect Veiler -> Ash Blossom/Ghost Belle (I usually do this if I have all combo pieces already)
There are more Small World combos out in this deck and that can be included in, but these are the ones I primarily use. Feel free to experiment and add more!
With the disappearance of Halqifibrax, this is Pure PUNK's standard combo:
- Summon Ze Amin. Activate effect to search for Foxy Tune.
- Activate Foxy Tune's effect to summon from deck Sharakusai.
- Activate Sharakusai's effect to fusion summon Ze Amin + Sharakusai -> Rising Carp.
- Activate Rising Carp's effect to summon Wa Gon and Deer Note from deck.
- Activate Wa Gon's effect to search for Extreme Session. Activate Extreme Session.
- Synchro Wa Gon + Deer Note -> Dragon Drive.
- CL1 Dragon Drive to search Madame Spider from deck. CL2 Deer Note to summon Sharakusai from GY. On resolution, Extreme Session draws you 1 card.
- Activate Extreme Session's effect summon Madame Spider from hand
- Activate Madame Spider's effect to search for your PUNK trap of choice (I personally prefer Nashiwari Surprise). On resolution, Extreme Session draws you 1 card.
This is the standard Pure PUNK combo. This combo grants you a bounce of up to 4 cards on the field with Sharakusai's quick synchro into Amazing Dragon on the opponent's turn. Amazing Dragon is also follow-up for next turn, since it generates resources by summoning any PUNK from the GY. You also have a pop any card/negate monster of with your PUNK trap. Finally, Extreme Session drew you two cards, which may be hand traps, or follow-up for next turn.
Note that if you have extenders, you can make Baronne or Psychic End Punisher.
GLHF Duelists!
