yo everyone welcome back, so till photon hyper nova drops, I'm going to post the top 6 decks we can build with photon Hydra nova cards.
LET'S START with the casual one, the Witchcrafters, the deck was really slow in the past, but thanks to undirect supports, this deck is faster than before, Vice-master is incredible. time to check what deck can do now!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ways to fusion summon Vice-master:
3x Blazing Cartesia: quick effect you can fusion summon by using monsters in hand or field, this card with any other Witchcrafter can make vice-master.
3x Branded in high spirit: you can reveal 1 spellcaster from hand along with Grand-Guignol from the Extra deck, discard the spellcaster to add Cartesia from the deck, so this is by far a good starter.
3x fusion deployment: you can reveal Grand-Guignol and then special summon Cartesia from the deck so basically another starter, however, it's less good than branded in high spirit.
why do I play Grand-Guignol?
the first reason would be, I can reveal this card, by the effect of branded in high spirit, and send it to the GY, to add my combo starter, which is Cartesia
the second reason would be, I can special summon a dogmatika monster from my deck whenever an opponent tried to special summon a monster from the deck by a card effect in their turn or your turn, which you always summon Ecclesia or you can even summon Despian Proskenion from extra deck, which makes it hard for my opponent to deal with my board.
How do I make rank 4 XYZ plays here?
you can use vice-master to special summon Witchcrafterr schmietta ( the level 4 one ) and special summon Ecclesia from hand and make rank 4 xyz plays ( which rarely happens in first turn, but better than nothing )
* Ecclesia has 2 card effects, first one is you can special summon her if there is a monster special summoned from the extra deck ( this one does not lock you ) and the second effect is when this card is Ns or Ss you can add dogmatika card from the deck ( this effect locks you from extra deck summoning ) so just let you know.
why do we play spellbooks?
spellbook of judgment is an insane card, not only can add any spellbooks from the deck, it also can special summon a spellcaster, and give you free spell discard for your Witchcrafter monsters effects. even if you activated 1 spell card you can summon Witchcrafter Genni and still do fine.
why do I play Artemis with Draco berserker?
Artemis helps you to link your Witchcrafter monsters, to be able to use their effects, and about Draco berserker, well Blazing Cartesia is a level 4 Tuner, so you can even make level 8 Synchro plays, but since Rank 4 XYZ plays were better to decide to play 1 synchro.
my side decks are different due to each format, this is the best side deck I came up with for the Witchcrafter deck.
Witchcrafter 7/10 good hands - 6/10 OTK
