Enemies in lore, both of these decks have found recent competitive success thanks to new support.
Fire King and Atlantean
Black Illusion Ritual
Relinquished
This creature, once discarded by players for being too weak, is now discarded for full combo.
Fabled Lurrie
The first of its kind, this behemoth from the duelist kingdom is certainly less than the sum of its parts.
Gate Guardian
Oh, time has been called? I guess I'll send this pyro to the grave with foolish burial. GG?
Volcanic Scattershot
These two world premiere decks share one chaotic support card.
Ashened and Tistina
Novox's Prayer
Skull Guardian
Before we knew for certain that Moon of The Closed heaven was on the way, the use of this Rank 3 summoned through Tour Guide was also being considered.
Melomelody the Brass Djinn
The only level 11 to spend time on the banlist, tiresome matches against this creature will make you wish it never got set free.
Archnemeses Protos
Oh, time has been called? I guess I'll use this dragon to pop my field spell. GG?
Ancient Fairy Dragon
These two tribes formed part of the original alliance to bring justice against terrible invaders from beyond the stars.
Flamvell and Ice Barrier
Dawn of The Herald
Herald of Perfection
Be careful who you're up against, because if you gift this monster to your opponent playing fiendsmith, they'll be left as jolly as this card's namesake.
Santa Claws
Theia, The Primal Being
You're going first with 1 minute left? I guess I'll chain this zombie to your effect to summon. GG?
Ghost Sister and Spooky Dogwood
When transfer students arrive at Duel Academy, The West and The East academies send masters of these two decks.
Volcanic and Cloudian
Heavy Interlock
Borreload Riot Dragon
DAILY DOUBLE
Number iC1000: Numerounious Numerounia
While most 11s have a special way to bring them out, this fallen angel must be normal summoned. But if you tribute monsters to bring him out, his legions will follow from the deck.
Darklord Morningstar
Oh, time has been called? I guess I'll use gigantic to special summon this fiend from the deck. GGs?
Red Resonator
These two archetypes, which both made their debut in The Dark Illusion, spend a lot of time in the backrow for monsters, although both for different reasons.
Metalfoes and Paleozoic
Synthesis Spell
Lycanthrope
If your opponent sends two copies of Dipity with Advanced Ritual Art, be wary of the only ritual monster that can link off into Requiem.
Reshef The Dark Being
This syncrho 11 was the second attempt at retraining a classic boss monster, neither of which have seen any play, while the original still gets used. I guess the number in its name refers to the amount of use it sees.
Trishula, Zero Dragon of the Ice Barrier.
Oh time has been called? I guess I'll summon this warrior and- oh I didn't draw a monster? This game sucks.
