New Cards

The new Dragunity support cards will make "turning" monsters into equipment spells (this archetype's main mechanic) a lot better overall.

The best of them is Dragunity Quirinus, a searcher for spells and traps that makes this deck a lot more consistent.

Besides this card, Dragunity Lord - Georgius is also pretty great. It has 3 decent effects:

> Summon 1 Dragunity monster that is level 5 or more from your extra deck or graveyard when you link summon this card or if you special summon one or more monsters.

> Prevent the opponent from activating monster effects in their graveyard through a lingering effect.

> Negate 1 enemy spell or trap through a Quick Effect.

The Constellar / Tellarknight strategy is becoming more modern and now has new cards that will make it more consistent, namely Constellar Castor and Tellarknight Cygnian. When you summon Constellar Castor, you may get 1 Constellar monster straight from your deck. When you summon Tellarknight Cygnian, in turn, you may get 1 Tellarknight or Constellar monster from your deck. Besides these effects, Castor and Cygnian also negate spells and change the level of your cards, respectively.

The new extra deck monsters are just as powerful:

Tellarknight Constellar Delteros is another monster searcher, but it also lets you normal summon a LIGHT monster. Furthermore, it is an extender that lets you summon 1 Tellarknight or Constellar monster from your hand or banishment if you send it to the graveyard.

Exstellarknight Constellar Ptolemy Ω7 is a tower that can easily end games. First, it is unaffected by enemy-activated effects when you have 7 Tellarknight monsters or more with different names in the graveyard or banishment, but it also doubles its own ATK/DEF. Furthermore, it shuffles enemy monsters back into their deck, which is also great when you're trying to set up an OTK.

The Shaddoll archetype is beloved by many players, and the new support cards are a true gift. Tohushaddoll Grysta has an entirely new effect for the monsters in this archetype when it goes to the graveyard. With it, you can fusion summon a Shaddoll monster, similar to Tearlaments monsters.

El Shaddoll Meshachrer is a fusion monster that has everything to be an excellent consistency card because it searches Shaddoll cards or Void spells/trap. However, because you need 3 materials to summon it, it is not a starter. It works more like a combo piece. Furthermore, it has a lingering effect that makes it unaffected by your opponent's activated Spell/Trap effects and the activated effects of your opponent's monsters whose original Levels/Ranks are lower than this card's Level. There's more. When it goes to the graveyard, it lets you bring back a Shaddoll monster from your graveyard.

Reeshaddoll Wendikuruhu has a Quick Effect that makes it a great interaction card because it lets you change any number of face-down monsters on the field to face-up Defense Position. This includes enemy cards and yours, so you can activate more effects to interact with the opponent or disrupt their strategy directly.

Lev Shaddoll Fusion is an excellent consistency card. It lets you send any Shaddoll monster from your extra deck to the graveyard, and, if you decide to send El Shaddoll Apkallone, you can get any Shaddoll deck from your deck. Furthermore, you can tribute any fusion to fusion summon a Shaddoll monster with a different Attribute.

Void Unleashing is also a consistency card, more specifically a ROTA, but it only works if you pair it with a Shaddoll card. You'll reveal it to the opponent to get 2 Shaddoll cards from your deck, each with a different type (monster, spell, or trap) from the card you revealed and from each other, and then discard a card.

Masked HERO Fountain is an extender that lets you special summon a HERO from your hand if you reveal this card. And, furthermore, if it goes to the graveyard through an effect, such as, for instance, if it is used as fusion material, you may play a Mask Change from your deck or the graveyard.

This is another mini engine that will add a lot to the Spellcaster-based strategy known as "Good Stuff Spellcasters" in the OCG. Regulus, the Prince of Endymion is this engine's main card. You can basically special summon it from your hand if you reveal another Spellcaster monster, and, when you special summon it, you can get a spell that mentions it.

These spells can be:

Empire of Endymion, which can give you Regulus, the Prince of Endymion from your deck or a monster that mentions it. Next, you can special summon a Spellcaster from your hand. Furthermore, if one or more cards under your control were to be destroyed, it lets you destroy Regulus, the Prince of Endymion in your hand or on your board instead.

Arrow of Regulus lets you destroy a monster under the opponent's control that battled this turn or negate an effect on a Quick-Play spell or regular spell. Furthermore, you can banish it from the graveyard to bring back a Regulus, the Prince of Endymion.

Reprints

Limiting Fairy Tail - Snow to one copy was one of the greatest changes from the last format to this one, and this reprint is pretty relevant. Like so, players will get easy access to this card, which has been historically super popular in meta strategies.

Loading icon

Lacrima the Crimson Tears, Fiendsmith's Requiem, and Fiendsmith's Tract are probably the best reprints in this set because they'll make Fiendsmith cheaper once and for all. The Fiendsmith engine might not be "MEA" anymore, but it is still very strong, and it is an excellent addition for anyone who wants to play unknown strategies.

Shared Ride is a pretty strong lingering floodgate when you go first against strategies that get lots of cards from their decks. Particularly if they also play lots of handtraps because then they'll be able to get them through this effect and play them that same turn.

Loading icon

Gravekeeper's Inscription is another lingering floodgate, but it works both when you go first and when you go second. The only reason it is not more popular is because its effect applies to both players, and, considering most decks need to activate effects or summon monsters from the graveyard, very few strategies can use it.
