Deck Primer

Main objective: Summon "King of skull servants".

To do that easily we need to get wightprince in the GY and almost no cards in the banished zone.

Win condition

Get your opponents Life points equal to zero.

Why these cards?

Lots of grave interaction, lots of ways to break boards and you can do some really smart plays. Even if your grave doesn't work, there are some plays that can be done from your banish zone as well. In the future I would like to see if I can tap into the banish zone for extended plays.

Even though there are board breaking capabilities, it's still best to go first.

NOTE: Before, in this section there use to be half a book worth of text and reasons. Most of the previously mentioned cards and tech in this section got removed and for the sake of futureproofing this documentation, I think it's best not to go into too much detail.

Update 1.1

Action	Card	Reason
Removed	Summoned skull	meme card
Reduced to 1	Performapal pop-up	Becomes harder to play after taking damage once
Increased to 3	Samurai Skull	Performance was a lot better than expected, makes up for missing draw power by sending Wight Baking directly from deck to GY.
Removed	Archfiend's Call	Was meant to be support to bring out Summoned skull (meme card) more often.
Added to 2	Forbidden Droplet	Extremely useful tech card to remove or avoid nasty effects on the field, while still sending monsters from your hand to the grave. Similar to Performerpal pop-up. Bonus effect, the card type you are negating cannot negate this card.
Added to 2	Gaia Saber, the Lightning Shadow	A situational card (mostly a meme to fill some space) that can be useful in certain scenario's. This card did help me in a few occasions, when people summon montsers on my side of the field. Will find a suitable replacement down the line.

Update 2

I removed a bunch of cards that were too slow

Action	Card	Reason
Added to 3	Wightlord	Absolutely worth it! it's a built in archetype 'grass is greener' and a 'monster reborn'
Added to 2	Alghoul Mazerra	GY or handtrap protection from destruction and it summons itself when it gets banished from hand or GY. Meaning it will likely be destroyed, send to the GY and then you can just recycle this card indefinitely for destruction protection.
Added to 2	Vampire sucker	People seem to hate this card, so it's easy negate bait and has the potential to draw you a card if you need it. The most useful part is the option to link off 2 monsters.
Added to 1	Grass is greener	Insane it got unbanned but ok, we take those.
Added to 2	Wandering titan of tarturus	In the land of (quick effect) negate and problematic monster cards, this absolutely deals with them. Can be used for a board wipe, technical removal using 'send' or even just as part of the combo to destroy and discard from your hand.
Added to 2	Immortal dragon	Easy to summon 'foolish burial' can be used in many flexible ways, level manipulation also helps it be protected by 'lady in wight' and it can summon itself back on rare occasions
Added to 2	Twin twisters	A bit of backrow hate, since it seems like decks are no longer as monster focused as they use to be
