Part 1 - Milling the Entire Deck:
Option 1: 4-draw, or 3-draw + 1-extender:
- Normal Summon Dark Doriado , place in this order: Jigabyte - Nefarious Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness - Dynatherium - Palma Ryzeal
- Use 3 or 4 draw-cards to draw into hand.
- Summon Nefarious Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness and Jigabyte
- Overlay into Ryzeal Duodrive in the EMZ, add Node Ryzeal + Ryzeal Cross
- Link Ryzeal Duodrive into Gravity Controller
- Summon Dynatherium + Node Ryzeal
- Summon Palma Ryzeal by shuffling Ryzeal Duodrive back into ED, or summon your lv4 extender
- Overlay all 4 into Primathmech Alembertian to search Monster Gate or Reasoning
- Activate Ryzeal Cross, putting Palma Ryzeal (or Ryzeal Duodrive) and Node Ryzeal into the bottom of the deck and draw a card.
- Activate Monster Gate or Reasoning to mill the whole deck until you summon Node Ryzeal on the bottom of the deck.
- Perform FTK (detailed in Part 2)
Note: Palma Ryzeal may be shuffled into the deck if you use an extender instead of draw, but since it cannot be Normal Summoned or Set, Monster Gate and Reasoning will not summon it and will keep excavating instead.
Option 2: 1-draw + 3-extender:
- Normal Summon Dark Doriado , place in this order: Jigabyte - Nefarious Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness - Dynatherium - Palma Ryzeal
- Use 1 draw to draw Jigabyte
- Summon Jigabyte and Extender-1
- Overlay into Number 60: Dugares the Timeless, activate to "Draw 2 cards and discard 1 card" and discard 1 brick
- (Number 60: Dugares the Timeless draws into Dynatherium and Nefarious Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness)
- Summon Extender-2 and Nefarious Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness
- Link Number 60: Dugares the Timeless and Extender-2 into Haggard Lizardose
- Activate Haggard Lizardose to banish Jigabyte to draw 1 (Palma Ryzeal)
- Overlay Dark Doriado and Nefarious Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness into Ryzeal Duodrive, add Node Ryzeal + Ryzeal Cross

- Activate Monster Gate or Reasoning to mill the whole deck until you summon Node Ryzeal on the bottom of the deck.
- Perform FTK (detailed in Part 2)
Note: Number 60: Dugares the Timeless essentially replaces the material used to make them since we draw 2 while we have manipulated the top of the deck. This is necessary in order to pull all 3 normal summonable monsters out of the deck before we put a monster on the bottom and activate Monster Gate
Option 3: 2-draw + 2-extender:
- Normal Summon Dark Doriado , place in this order: Jigabyte - Nefarious Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness - Dynatherium - Palma Ryzeal

- Normal Summon Dark Doriado , place in this order: Jigabyte - Nefarious Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness - Dynatherium - Palma Ryzeal
- Summon Extender-1 and Extender-2
- Overlay into Number 60: Dugares the Timeless, activate to "Draw 2 cards and discard 1 card" and discard 1 brick (if any)

Part 2 - THE FTK:
Choose any of these options: At Max deals 8800 (44 spells) + 9000 (45 spells) + 8200 (41 spells)
Option 1: Using Boogie Trap (Reccommended)
- Mill your whole deck (Monster Gate or Reasoning)
- Empty your hand (Discard any bricks using Destruction Swordsman Fusion and set it)
- Activate GY effect Transaction Rollback copying Magical Explosion (1 Dead)
- (Optional) Activate effect of Scareclaw Alternative or Gagaga Cowboy here if target opponent has evaded the effect damage or conceded before the damage went through. We need to deal effect damage to trigger the GY effect of Maiden of Blue Tears
- Trigger GY effect of Maiden of Blue Tears setting Boogie Trap
- Activate GY effect of Sinful Spoils Subdual, bouncing Boogie Trap to hand (restriction of Maiden of Blue Tears no longer applies)
- Activate GY effect of Traptantalizing Tune to return Transaction Rollback from banished to the now empty deck
- Activate GY effect of Vivid Tail to return Ryzeal Cross from field to hand
- Activate GY effect of Rank-Up-Magic Zexal Force to draw Transaction Rollback
- Activate Boogie Trap, discarding Transaction Rollback and Ryzeal Cross and setting Magical Explosion (Boogie Trap makes it activatable on the same turn)
- Activate Magical Explosion (2 Dead)
- Pass Turn
- Draw Phase:
- Activate GY effect of Transaction Rollback targetting Magical Explosion (You win!)
Option 2: Quadruple FTK
- Mill your whole deck and summon Node Ryzeal (Monster Gate)
- Activate GY effect of Laundry Trap to add back any lv4 extender (Gigantes, Aqua Spirit, Silpheed)
- Summon lv4 extender
- Overlay extender and Node Ryzeal into Baromet the Sacred Sheep Shrub
- Empty your hand (Discard any bricks using Destruction Swordsman Fusion and set it)
- Activate GY effect Transaction Rollback copying Magical Explosion (1 Dead)
- Trigger GY effect of Maiden of Blue Tears setting Boogie Trap from the GY
- Activate GY effect of Traptantalizing Tune to put Transaction Rollback from banished into deck
- Activate the effect of Baromet the Sacred Sheep Shrub to put Magical Explosion on the bottom of the deck and draw Transaction Rollback
- Activate GY effect of Rank-Up-Magic Zexal Force to draw Magical Explosion
- Activate GY effect of Destruction Swordsman Fusion to discard Transaction Rollback, or set Transaction Rollback and destroy it by activating the GY effect of Frost Blast of the Monarchs
- Activate GY effect of Scareclaw Alternative to deal 200 effect damage
- Trigger GY effect of Angel of Blue Tears to set the Magical Explosion from the hand (Angel of Blue Tears makes it activatable on the same turn since Magical Explosion is set from hand)
- Activate the set Magical Explosion (2 Dead)
- Activate GY effect of Sinful Spoils Subdual, bouncing the set Boogie Trap to hand (restriction of Maiden of Blue Tears no longer applies)
- Activate GY effect of Arcana Spread to return Cup of Ace from the GY to the hand
- Activate the GY effect of Vivid Tail to return Ryzeal Cross from the field to the hand
- Activate Boogie Trap, discarding Cup of Ace and Ryzeal Cross and setting Magical Explosion (Boogie Trap makes it activatable on the same turn)

- Pass Turn
- Draw Phase:

While this combo allows us to FTK four times instead of 3, it requires 5-6 more bricks in the deck in comparison to the reccommended path. Additionally, this combo cannot be performed if Laundry Trap is drawn, even if Laundry Trap is discarded from the hand. However, by the nature of the combo, it naturally plays around the possibility of concession for prevention of effect damage. If they concede, we can cut short the combo and still have a FTK avalible due to the Transaction Rollback we returned to the GY, which will give us the win through 2 concessions and one FTK. However, if the first FTK attempt meets a concession or prevention and the second instant of effect damage through Scareclaw Alternative is fully prevented without concession, we will not be able to FTK twice more but can FTK once more.
Option 3: Using Baromet the Sacred Sheep Shrub
- Mill your whole deck and summon Node Ryzeal (Monster Gate)
- Activate GY effect of Laundry Trap to add back any lv4 extender (Gigantes, Aqua Spirit, Silpheed)
- Summon lv4 extender
- Overlay extender and Node Ryzeal into Baromet the Sacred Sheep Shrub
- Empty your hand (Discard any bricks using Destruction Swordsman Fusion and set it)
- Activate GY effect Transaction Rollback copying Magical Explosion (1 Dead)
- (Optional) Activate GY effect of Scareclaw Alternative to deal 100 effect damage in case they have evaded effect damage or conceded before the damage goes through
- Trigger GY effect of Maiden of Blue Tears setting Dark World Dealings
- Activate GY effect of Sinful Spoils Subdual, bouncing Dark World Dealings to hand (restriction of Maiden of Blue Tears no longer applies)
- Activate GY effect of Traptantalizing Tune to put Transaction Rollback from banished into deck
- Activate the effect of Baromet the Sacred Sheep Shrub to put Magical Explosion on the bottom of the deck and draw Transaction Rollback
- Activate Dark World Dealings to draw Magical Explosion and discard Transaction Rollback
- Set Magical Explosion
- Pass Turn
- Draw Phase:
- Activate the set Magical Explosion (2 dead)
- Activate GY effect of Transaction Rollback targetting Magical Explosion (You win!)
Note: This relies on your ability to have Laundry Trap sent to GY from deck, but if you have drawn it, or used Reasoning instead of Monster Gate, you can skip summoning Baromet the Sacred Sheep Shrub and do the combo all the same. Frost Blast of the Monarchs, Destruction Swordsman Fusion, or Number 60: Dugares the Timeless can only send from hand or field, and does not put cards back into deck. You cannot activate the discard outlet of Muckraker From the Underworld until you have summoned your extender and Baromet the Sacred Sheep Shrub. This line banishes 1 less spell in comparison to the reccommended line, but includes use of Laundry Trap as an additional brick and does not need to include Boogie Trap.
Option 4: Using Angel of Blue Tears
- Mill your whole deck (Monster Gate or Reasoning)
- Empty your hand (Discard any bricks using Destruction Swordsman Fusion and set it)
- Activate GY effect Transaction Rollback copying Magical Explosion (1 Dead)
- Activate GY effect of Maiden of Blue Tears setting Boogie Trap
- Activate GY effect of Sinful Spoils Subdual, bouncing Boogie Trap to hand (restriction of Maiden of Blue Tears no longer applies)
- Activate GY effect of Traptantalizing Tune to return Transaction Rollback from banished to the now empty deck
- Activate GY effect of Vivid Tail to return Ryzeal Cross from field to hand
- Activate GY effect of Arcana Spread to return Cup of Ace from the GY to the hand
- Activate Boogie Trap, discarding Cup of Ace and Ryzeal Cross and setting Magical Explosion (Boogie Trap makes it activatable on the same turn)
- Activate Magical Explosion (2 Dead)
- Activate GY effect of Angel of Blue Tears to set Transaction Rollback from deck to field.
- Activate GY effect of Frost Blast of the Monarchs to destroy the set Transaction Rollback (and send it to GY)
- Pass Turn
- Draw Phase:
- Activate GY effect of Transaction Rollback targetting Magical Explosion (You win!)
Note: This will lead to 4 banished spells (Traptantalizing Tune, Angel of Blue Tears , Frost Blast of the Monarchs + Monarch Spell). Also note that Ryzeal Cross will not be in the GY on the first activation of the Magical Explosion effect. If you must activate Destruction Swordsman Fusion in order to discard a brick, you have also subtracted from your spell total. You need 40 spells minimum in the GY for Magical Explosion to eliminate a person on its own.
Weaknesses:
This combo is not resilant to handtraps or interruption. While we have enough extenders that we may not be stopped by a single removal, the combo heavily relies on Monster Gate , Ryzeal Cross , and Magical Explosion.
Therefore, if they are destroyed, banished, or negated in any way, everything falls apart. In addition, we must use an expensive way to search Monster Gate using Primathmech Alembertian.
Loses to:
Dealer's Choice, Hanewata, Droll & Lock Bird , Nibiru, the Primal Being, Dimension Shifter/Retaliating "C" , Red Reboot, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (Monster Gate or Reasoning), Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit/Typhoon (Ryzeal Cross), Effect Veiler (Ryzeal Duodrive or Primathmech Alembertian), D.D. Crow (Magical Explosion) , Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion (Traptantalizing Tune), Artifact Lancea (Transaction Rollback), Gnomaterial (Ryzeal Duodrive), any Runick spell (Dark Doriado)
Notice that this is pretty much every handtrap in the game.
Notes:
- There are only 4 normal summonable monsters in the deck. The rest cannot be normal summoned or set. We search one of them through Ryzeal Duodrive and draw the rest.
- Seventh Tachyon can only be used to draw the last normal summonable monster because it will shuffle the deck afterwards
- This deck loses to Dealer's Choice because our deck will be shuffled before we can extract out all the normal summonable monsters
- An alternative way to perform this combo uses Ragnaraika the Evil Seed, however it must use deep draw instead of Primathmech Alembertian to find the Monster Gate or Reasoning
- The special summon locks in this deck are from Thode Ryzeal, Muckraker From the Underworld and Surfacing Big Jaws. Remember to summon Gravity Controller before you lock yourself
- Muckraker From the Underworld can be used to discard a brick if we have summoned Number 60: Dugares the Timeless
- Twins of the Eclipse would be a cool card that allows us to use Thode Ryzeal to discard a brick, but it is not a part of the Domain
- Similarly, Some Summer Summoner would have helped in the case we failed the combo, however it is not a part of the Domain
- Ex Ryzeal would have been a better Deckmaster if it had a wider Domain that could access Primathmech Alembertian
- The decklist has additional non-normal summonable monsters in order to prevent bricking and being unable to activate Dark Doriado
- Number 60: Dugares the Timeless, Destruction Swordsman Fusion, Frost Blast of the Monarchs, and Muckraker From the Underworld all help to discard bricks
- Please also remember to account for lost spells due to Gold Moon Coin if used
- If you activate Upstart Goblin, you must eliminate that person second, because that is when you have the most spells in your GY
- The draw from Ryzeal Cross done at the end of the combo may be harmful if we draw a brick
- You cannot use Node Ryzeal to discard to resummon Palma Ryzeal because it forgets it has been properly summoned when it is returned to the bottom of the deck
- You can quad ftk if you play in a table where concession is not allowed. This is because it opens up the Baromet the Sacred Sheep Shrub + Angel of Blue Tears line instead of having to rely on the Gagaga Cowboy + Scareclaw Alternative to play around concession before effect damage.
- Tri-Brigade Ferrijit the Barren Blossom can be used if we have found to have drawn Reasoning or Monster Gate in our opening hand. You will still need to draw 3, but Tri-Brigade Ferrijit the Barren Blossom will put one of our monsters on the bottom and draw the remaining 1. We can then immediatly activate Reasoning or Monster Gate without having to go through Ryzeal Duodrive and Primathmech Alembertian. Summon Ferrijit using Runicks or Dynatherium + Nefarious Archfiend Eater of Nefariousness
- Link Burst can have its conditions fulfilled if an opponent decides they would like to have a monster from the summon effect of Dynatherium
