Instructions for playing Ursarctic

Instructions for playing Ursarctic

If you have watched the anime Yu-gi-oh! 5DS must know a rather special summoning method that does not exist when we play: Dark Synchro . It is Synchro Summon but instead of adding the levels of monsters, Dark Synchro will ask us to subtract the levels of material monsters from each other.

Ursarctic is a deck with Synchro monsters that all need to be summoned using the Dark Synchro method. This is a pure Synchro deck with an Extra deck full of white cards, the only one that can survive the Meta. So let's explore what they have and how to play!!




Style play

Style play

One thing you need to know is that Dark Synchro does not officially exist in the game, so it is replaced by the summoning condition: Send material monsters from the field to the grave (usually 1 tuner and 1 non-tuner). Let them subtract each other to calculate the level of the Synchro monster that needs to be summoned)

The main strategy of my deck will be summarized as follows :

  • Try to get Ursartics in the main deck into your hand as much as possible and use them as handtraps

  • Can exploit the strengths of Ursarctic: Counter XYZ and Link

  • Clear the field and OTK through skills
There are many other interesting things that I will talk about later.



Ursarctic Synchro

This time the order to write will be a bit different, I will talk about the most characteristic part of the Deck which is the Ursarctic Synchro!!

Ursarctic Polari (x2)
R rarity

Ursarctic Polari

First of all, let's talk about this cute bear. This is the most special Synchro card in Yugioh when its level is 1 - meaning this card cannot Synchro in the usual way. (and yep Dark Synchro)

Ursarctic Polari will be a make play card for you that we will always want to summon to perform combos. Summoning Polari is quite simple when the Ursactic tuners are all level 8 and the regular Ursarctic is level 7 (8-7=1)
and when on the field it will immediately activate the Field Ursarctic Big Dipper card (a very powerful field card that I will talk about later)

Then, thanks to the Field card that allows us to use materials from the grave, Polari can activate the second ability and summon a level 8 tuner and continue Dark Synchro 8-1=7 to produce Ursarctic Synchros.


Ursarctic Grand Chariot (x1)
R rarity

Ursarctic Grand Chariot

One of the two Ursarctic Synchro bosses, this card is not inferior when compared to Sepentrion. When summoned to the field, it allows us to destroy up to 2 of opp's cards. Quick Effect negating effects that target cards with the word "Ursarctic" (including field cards, countinous spells and monsters) will be really effective when field cards allow us to banish monsters from the grave instead of sacrificing them on the field. .


*Important part : If you already understand the effect but don't want to listen to the card translation, then skip the above part and watch this part =)))

  • We can see that the Atk of this card is 2700, suitable for condition 2 of the skill. From there, combining the field clearing ability of this card with Skill, we will have Free 2 Beater to hit more than 4000 life points and OTK right in turn 2.
Believe me, I've done that a lot =))) While we have to wait from turn 3 onwards to summon Shooting Quasar, we can use the power of friendship to finish off opp right in turn 2. And this is also the reason I like this card more than Sepentrion.

Ursarctic Septentrion (x1)
SR rarity

Ursarctic Septentrion

This big guy will be the Boss of the deck (until mixed with skills and synchronization :v). His first effect counters XYZ and Link cards as this is a Countinous Effect (permanent effect without needing to be activated) that negates all unleveled monsters summoned from Extra .

Atk 3000 is also quite large, in addition, quick search during the opponent's turn also brings a lot of money to Ursarctic because Ursarctic Monsters are no different from Handtraps (however, it is only one per turn ).

*Bonus Info :
If you summon Septentrion on turn 1 and have a card that causes negative effects to opps in your hand (eg Megatanus) and opp special summon, we will prioritize searching for Mikpolar or Miktanus.

Bonus Departure in the grave and Big Dipper on the field, we will manage to summon those Ursarctics to the field. Then we will have: 1 time to prevent opp from dancing + 1 Ursarctic in hand + 2 Ursarctic on the field (1 tuner and 1 non tuner) to prepare for the next turn

This deck can also use many other skills, but in this article I will focus on Ursarctic & Synchron . Because in my opinion, this is the strongest playing style for Ursarctic right now.

This skill has up to 3 effects (counting dirty buffs as equal to BLS)

  • The first one simply allows us to exchange cards to search (but usually it will be difficult for us to lose money when combined with the effects of Synchron).

  • The second one will clear our entire yard to give 2 pieces of meat >2000 ATK. This effect is great because sometimes we can't kill opp with 2700 or 3000 ATK. Clearing your own yard is sometimes beneficial if you eat Warning Point, Floodgate, Book of moon ,...

  • The third thing is simply that having Stardust Dragon combined with the second eff above will ensure we have 1 Shooting Quasar Dragon with 4000 ATK - 2 punches - 1 Quick Negate one per turn
To say the least, this Skill is very suitable for Ursarctic as Yusei's Synchrons will easily summon Ursarctic Polari , or even combine very well with Ursarctic Synchro, field cards,...



Main deck Monster

The Ursarctics in the main deck, in addition to being materials, can also act as Handtraps

Ursarctic Megatanus, Ursarctic Megapolar and Ursarctic Megabilis (Ursarctic Tuner)

Ursarctic tuners all have level 8. In addition to being used as materials like Synchro, they can also act as HandTraps. The 3 cards all have different effects that create different types of disruption:

  • Megapolar (x1): Destroy 1 Spell/Trap card (not much different from MST)

  • Megatanus (x2): select 1 opponent's monster and change it to face-down defense position (disguised Book of Moon)

  • Megabilis (x2): Banish 1 card from Opp's grave (quite similar to DD Crow)
Please pay a little attention to the condition for activating the eff: there must be another Ursarctic on the field to avoid Misplay. In addition, they have quite high ATK, so we can consider whether to continue Synchro or not or just leave it there and attack or maybe activate skill 2.

Ursarctic Miktanus (x2-3)
N rarity

Ursarctic Miktanus

Unlike Ursarctic tuners, normal Ursarctics can activate their effects as soon as they are summoned to the field.

Regarding Miktanus, when summoned it will recover 1 Ursarctic monster from the grave. We will often search for this card in our hand when we already have Mikpolar or when we have too many resources.

Ursarctic Mikpolar (x3)
R rarity

Coming to the important card of the deck - Ursarctic's Searcher: Mikpolar.

Similar to Miktanus, it does not need another ursarctic to exist on the field to activate the eff, it just needs to be summoned and searched. This is a hard one per turn effect, so even if you summon it again, you can only search once. And like any other Ursarctic, it can be summoned during opp's turn and search for a free handtrap depending on the situation.



Ursarctic Spell

 

Ursarctic Big Dipper (x1)

The field card will be one of the key cards that makes the ez game much better.

Ursarctic Polari will pull this card straight from the deck onto the field, so we only need x1 to avoid deadhand (and we also never want to draw it in the first hand like when playing Salamangreat ). Maybe you already know that its effect is to help Ursarctics use materials from their graves instead of on the field or in their hands, but I want you to pay attention to this a bit :

  • As soon as Polari brings this Field card onto the field, the game will ask if you want to activate the effect of the Ursarctics in your hand (because they are quick effects so they can be chained). At that time, you should NOT activate it because at that time the field card is only on the field but its effects have not yet been promoted -> so we will have to use the materials in hand, not in the grave.

  • Its second effect is also very good: 7 counters steal 1 monster from opp (7 counters is really not much for Ursarctic when it spams a lot of monsters, in addition, opp will definitely have to Special Summon)

Ursarctic Departure (x3)
UR rarity
Ursarctic Departure

Ursarctic Departure

The search ability of this card is too great, allowing us to search up to 2 Ursarctic monsters (while we still have x3 Mikpolar, so it will be very difficult to deadhand). Even though you have to discard 1 card, it's not a problem because it only requires any card , not a specific type of card (for example, if it requires the discarded card to be Ursarctic, that's a bit tiring).

Its second effect is a replacement material for Ursarctic monsters. You need to remember that Ursarctic Big Dipper only gives you 1 banish card from your grave in 1 turn, so this card will be really effective on opp's turn.


Ursarctic Radiation (x3)
SR rarity

Ursarctic Radiation

The second most important spell next to Ursarctic Departure which needs to be x3. It allows you to draw up to 7 times each time a specially summoned Ursarctic monster appears on the field ( the crazy thing is that it's not one per turn ).

Another important thing is that it helps us Recover Ursarctic monsters from the grave back into the deck when there is a fact that we draw-search- and use too many things so this Recover effect of Ursarctic Radiation is really necessary.

Ursarctic Slider (x0-1)
N rarity

Although this Quick Spell card is not widely used, I find it quite good. When we banish too many monsters from the grave to activate the effects of Ursarctic monsters, this is truly the savior.

1 Quick Spell can be activated during your opponent's turn. When Ursarctic monsters are summoned through this card, they can still activate their effects, so there are 2 ways to use this card:

  • Activate on your turn to kill Synchro

  • Activate during turn opp to destroy them (for example, summon Megatanus to set enemy monsters)



Synchronous

Synchrons are very important to this deck because the Skill condition requires us to have up to 7 Warrior or Machine cards below level 2. In addition, level 1 Synchrons and non-tuner Synchrons will do many things that I will talk about below. This.

Jet Synchron (x2-3)
UR rarity
Jet Synchron
UR rarity
Jet Synchron

First of all, let's talk about Jet Synchron: It has the ability to re-summon while in the grave , making it an ideal card to discard by Ursarctic Departure or Condition 1 of the Skill .

Unknown Synchron (x1-3 optional)
UR rarity
Unknown Synchron
UR rarity
Unknown Synchron

A level 1 tuner with the ability to self-summon will help us in quite a few difficult situations (however, please note that in a battle you can only special summon this card through an effect once, remember, once). TIME 1 MATCH)

Synchron Explorer (x1)
R rarity
Synchron Explorer
R rarity
Synchron Explorer

Call up 1 Synchron from the grave (this will be the card we prioritize Search through skill so only need x1)

Synchro Chase (Through skills)
SR rarity

SR rarity

Thanks to activating the skill, we will have this card for free on the field. In cases where we consider the Shooting Quasar option, this card will even help us summon Ursarctic as Synchro material.

Synchron Carrier (x0-1)
N rarity
Synchron Carrier
N rarity

You can also use it, but I really don't recommend it because if you want to combo with this card, you need 2 LEAVES IN YOUR HAND. Instead we should use Synchron Explorer.



Extra deck

I will not mention Ursarctic Synchro again in this section but focus on other extra cards.

Shooting Quasar Dragon and Stardust Dragon (x1)
UR rarity

Stardust Dragon

Stardust Dragon

This Stardust-Shooting Quasar pair deserves 2 slots.

  • First, Shooting Quasar will meet the skill activation conditions for you

  • Second, once we have summoned Stardust on turn 3 onwards, we will be sure to summon Shooting Quasar if there are no problems based on Skill.

  • Third: Stardust level 8 (While Ursarctic non-tuners level 7 and Synchron tuners level 1 = ez summon)

  • Wednesday: Shooting Quasar is extremely strong (4000 Atk, punch twice, quick negate,...)

Ravenous Crocodragon Archethys (x1 )
SR rarity
Limited to 1 copy
Ravenous Crocodragon Archethys

Ravenous Crocodragon Archethys

There are two things that make Ravenous suitable for Ursarctic: its quick effect to clear the field and its level 9:

  • Ursarctic tuners level 8+ Ursarctin Polari level 1=9

  • Stronger when Ursarctic non-tuner level 7+ Polari + Synchron tuner level 1= 9 (at this point we will draw up to 2 cards)

Draco Berserker of the Tenyi (x0-1)
UR rarity
Limited to 1 copy

We can choose Draco instead of Ravenous to get 1 quick banish and x2 punches. However, I still like Ravenous better because we can Otk without needing Draco's effect and Draco's effect is banish, not negate.

Hi-Speedroid Kitedrake (x0-1)
UR rarity
Hi-Speedroid Kitedrake
UR rarity
Hi-Speedroid Kitedrake

This is a card I really like to use when playing Ursarctic for a few reasons:

  • Firstly, it is a f2p card exchanged for a ticket

  • The effect of exploding the ball on the field is exactly the same as Black Rose Dragon (But much better because there is nothing wrong with it)

  • After exploding the field ball and remaining alone on the field, we can gently activate the Skill's second ability : Summon 2 pieces of meat >2000 Atk and finish off the opp.
But this card has one minus point: it needs a wind tuner machine as a Synchro material. That means forcing us to use Mach Synchron (a Synchron card that is not really optimal when compared to other Synchrons).

With just any Synchron tuner card, we can easily make this combo:

  1. Use the skill to send the Synchron tuner card to the grave (not necessarily Jet Synchron) and search for Synchron Explorer

  2. Normal summon Synchron Explorer and revive the discarded tuner card from the grave

  3. Then we will have 2-1=1: SYNCHRO summon URSARCTIC POLARI (field bonus)

2 Polari cards (not recommended)

I do not encourage you to use this combo, but I still remind you: We need 2 Synchrons in hand to summon Polari.

Similar to the combo next to it, but instead we normal Synchron Carrier and summon 1 more Synchron tuner = Polari

I'll say it quickly because there's really no need to say it, you guys already know:

  1. Try to Summon Stardust (e.g. Mikpolar + Unkown Synchron ez level 8)

  2. Press skill for a while and you will have Quasar =))))))))

We will do this combo when we have too many Ursarctic cards in hand:

  1. Use Departure to replenish manpower, usually Mikpolar and any other Ursarctic (advantage +1 card due to discarding 1 already :v)

  2. Mikpolar tributes another Ursarctic card in hand, summons itself and searches for 1 Ursarctic tuner if not available (+1)

  3. Ursarctic tuner tribute adds cards to your hand and onto the field

  4. Synchro 8-7=1 summons Polari and activates Ursarctic Big Dipper

  5. Activate Polari 's effect, banish 1 card from the grave and summon Ursarctic tuner again

  6. Synchro 8-1=7 summons Ursarctic Synchro ( Sepention or Grand Chariot )
