In addition, add a Pendulum Zone to your field if you begin the Duel with a Deck that has 9 or more "Abyss Actor" Pendulum Monsters or "Yosenju" monsters. (Extra Deck does not count.)

Sassy Rookie has the ability to not be destroyed by battle or effect once per turn and if it is destroyed by effect or battle it summons 1 Level 4 or lower Abyss Actor monster from the deck to the field (A lump of meat can withstand 2 hits or explosions and can also add another lump of meat) Remember to play Kiteroid, guys . If this card in the Pendulum Zone is destroyed, you can target and destroy 1 of your opponent's Level 4 or lower monsters (Spellbook hates this).
Abyss Actor - Evil Heel and Abyss Actor - Twinkle Little Star (X0-1)
Abyss Actor - Evil Heel
ATK:
3000
DEF:
2000
[ Pendulum Effect ] Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 "Abyss Actor" monster, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; it loses ATK equal to the original ATK of the Tributed monster, until the end of this turn (even if this card leaves the field). [ Monster Effect ] If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; it loses 1000 ATK for each "Abyss Actor" monster you currently control, until the end of this turn. When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can target 1 "Abyss Script" Spell Card in your Graveyard; Set that card.
Abyss Actor - Twinkle Little Star
ATK:
1000
DEF:
1000
[ Pendulum Effect ] You cannot Pendulum Summon monsters, except "Abyss Actor" monsters. This effect cannot be negated. Once per turn: You can target 1 "Abyss Actor" monster you control; this turn, it can make up to 3 attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase, also other monsters you control cannot attack for the rest of this turn (even if this card leaves the field). [ Monster Effect ] Cannot be destroyed by battle during your turn. This card can make up to 3 attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase.
Little Star is a rather situational monster with both its Monster and Pendulum Effect , so even though the Scale is 9, the rate of appearing in Abyss Actor decks is extremely low (except for F2P decks). With the first effect, Little Star bestows an Abyss monster. Actor attacks 3 times on the monster and other monsters cannot be attacked . It has many weaknesses such as: that monster must have large ATK or the opponent's monster must have ATK. low, the opponent must have 3 monsters to maximize this effect because Abyss Actor is a Pendulum deck, so summoning 3 monsters to the field is very easy, so if you use this effect on a monster and that monster is destroyed, you will lose 2 monsters. Other monsters can only stand and watch. The second effect is quite... Confusing to allow a 1000 ATK monster, Little Star, to attack 3 times and not be destroyed by battle . I agree that Power Of The Guardian can be played with this card. , however that is quite cumbersome and consumes unnecessary resources
Staple
Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Sky Iris (X0-3)
Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon
ATK:
3000
DEF:
2500
You can Tribute Summon this card by Tributing 1 Level 5 or higher monster. If this card is Tribute Summoned: You can destroy 1 monster your opponent controls, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's original ATK. When this card destroys a monster by battle: You can Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher monster from your hand or GY in Defense Position, except "Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon". You can only use this effect of "Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon" once per turn.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon
ATK:
2500
DEF:
2000
[ Pendulum Effect ] You can reduce the battle damage you take from an attack involving a Pendulum Monster you control to 0. During your End Phase: You can destroy this card, and if you do, add 1 Pendulum Monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each Pendulum Effect of "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" once per turn. [ Monster Effect ] If this card battles an opponent's monster, any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is doubled.
Sky Iris
Your opponent cannot target "Magician", "Performapal", or "Odd-Eyes" cards in your Pendulum Zones with card effects. You can target 1 other face-up card you control; destroy it, and if you do, add 1 "Odd-Eyes" card from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Sky Iris" once per turn.
Sky Iris is one of the very good protection cards of Odd-Eyes or Performaple, but here Sky Iris only does one task, which is +1 Odd-Eyes to the hand each turn. If you destroy a Pendulum monster that you normally summon, you can add Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon to OTK or Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to search, then you summon Pendulum back to the monster that was destroyed because the Pendulum monster was destroyed. will return to the Extra Deck, so Sky Iris will both help you defend and help you search.
Number 70: Malevolent Sin, Number 39: Utopia and Number C39: Utopia Ray (X1)
Number 70: Malevolent Sin
ATK:
2400
DEF:
1200
2 Level 4 monsters Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; banish it until your opponent's next Standby Phase. At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked: You can make this card gain 300 ATK, and if you do, increase its Rank by 3.
Number C39: Utopia Ray
ATK:
2500
DEF:
2000
3 Level 4 LIGHT monsters You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a "Number 39: Utopia" you control as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.) You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; it gains 500 ATK and 1 monster your opponent controls loses 1000 ATK, until the End Phase. You must have 1000 Life Points or less to activate and to resolve this effect.
Number 39 is a Staple monster often used to OTK when comboing with Double Or Nothing or Chaos Number 39. Here I will talk about OTK with Chaos Number 39. Number 39 itself has the ability to block attacks and summon conditions. Recovery only requires Level 4 monsters and this deck focuses on Chaos Number 39 more than Number 39.
Performapal Odd-Eyes Unicorn, Enemy Controller and Mystical Space Typhoon (X1-2)
Performapal Odd-Eyes Unicorn
ATK:
100
DEF:
600
[ Pendulum Effect ] Once, while this card is in your Pendulum Zone, when your "Odd-Eyes" monster declares an attack: You can target 1 other "Performapal" monster you control; that attacking monster gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the targeted monster on the field, until the end of the Battle Phase (even if this card leaves the field). [ Monster Effect ] When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 "Performapal" monster in your GY; gain LP equal to its ATK.
Unicorn is in this deck for a pretty good reason... Easy to understand, because it's Scale 8... That's it :3 oh no Evil Heel is Cringe
Plaguespreader Zombie (X1)
Pla Zombie mainly comes with the Zombie Draw skill that allows you to access Synchro summoning, in addition Pla Zombie also has the ability to revive from the grave by placing 1 card in your hand into the deck, and has the ability to combine with Mado nna put +0 hand instead of -1
Present & Future
Abyss Actor is a deck with high potential and will probably become Tier 3 or higher later, but in TCG and OCG Abyss Actor is being forgotten and has little strong support, but in duel links thanks to future skills. Maybe Abyss Actor will be stronger in the future.
F2P
This is a Free To Play deck, both cheap and quite stable, suitable for those who don't want to spend too much Gem but want to experience Abyss Actor.
