Iconic figures from many of Yugioh's past formats pre 2012, the release of a new Structure Deck centered around them brought them to prominence as one of 2016's best decks.
Monarchs
This human-shaped animal with wings is beautiful to watch but deadly in battle.
Harpie Lady
Blackwings hold a reputation as the first deck to be able to cheat out Synchro Monsters from the Extra Deck, which all started thanks to this Edison Format headliner.
Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor
Singular Strike Overthrow
Sky Striker Ace - Kagari
Each player draws until they have 6 cards in their hand.
Card of Sanctity
This fighting Dino can not only Summon himself from hand with ease, but as soon as he's out, he can remove 1 card on the field super quick
Dinowrestler Pankratops
A delicate elf that lacks offense, but has a terrific defense backed by mystical power.
Mystical Elf
A Towers like boss out of the Extra Deck, can take control of opponent's cards, and can potentially board wipe during the End Phase! Not bad for what's technically a retrain monster!
Blackwing Full Armor Master
Warp-Speed Toys
Hi-Speedroid Chanbara
Activate only when a DARK monster with 1000 or less ATK is destroyed by battle from your side of the field. Your opponent destroys all monsters with 1500 ATK or more on their side of the field and in their hand and Deck. (Damage calculation is applied normally.) Those monsters cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. If this card is not in your Graveyard, negate this effect.
Crush Card Virus
Bujins rose to prominence upon Dragon Rulers' decline primarily due to a slower metagame, but also due to its hand in hand synergy with this DM Era floodgate.
Kaiser Colosseum
Many of the czars' lost jewels can be found in the scales of this priceless dragon. Its creator remains a mystery, along with how they acquired the imperial treasures. But whosoever finds this dragon has hit the jackpot... whether they know it or not.
Alexandrite Dragon
The chase card from Duelist Pack: Crow, this feathery extender can summon itself from the GY by bouncing a card back to hand, and is perhaps the most played Blackwing ever
Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite
Pyroxene Rwlinquished
Gem Knight Master Diamond
DAILY DOUBLE
Pay 800 Life Points to select 1 Synchro Monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster in face-up Attack Position and equip it with this card. The equipped monster cannot attack during the turn it was Special Summoned by this effect. When this card is removed from the field, destroy that monster. When the equipped monster is destroyed by a card effect other than this card's, Special Summon that Synchro Monster during the End Phase of that turn
Released in the 2015 Mega Tins, this card became the number 1 best Instant Fusion target, further empowering many Rank 4 strategies such as Satellarknight and Clownblade.
Elder Entity Norden
They are oppressed, but believe they will have their freedom someday.
Oppressed People
A nice combo piece to the Blackwing strategy, once this birb is Synchro Summoned, he's basically a Double Summon on legs! Looks like someones getting advantage off of Black Whirlwind!
Blackwing - Nothung the Starlight
Rapid Aircraft Ascension
Super Mecha Phantom Beast Dracosack
Select 1 card from your Deck and send it to your opponent's Graveyard
Foolish Burial
Branded Fusion, Fusion Destiny, Red Eyes Fusion; these cards as well as others that can Fusion Summon immediately using materials from deck owe their concept to this Normal Spell Card,which forever changed Fusion Summoning.
Shadoll Fusion
A monster formed by the vengeful souls of those who passed away in battle
Swordstalker
At the cost of discarding a Blackwing monster, this handy Trap lets you copy the effects of a Trap Card in your opponent's GY!
Fake Feather
Savage Crimson Dragon
Red Nova Dragon
another monster is Special Summoned to a zone a Link Monster points to, while this monster is on the field, and you have at least 1 card in your hand: Destroy all cards in each player's hand. Once per turn, if this card is Extra Linked and your opponent has at least 1 card in their hand: You can destroy as many cards in your opponent's hand as possible, and if you do, inflict 3000 damage to them. This effect cannot be negated. While this card is Extra Linked, Link Monsters you control cannot be destroyed by card effects.
Topologic Gunblar Dragon
