Instructions for playing Trickstar (Update)

Holly Angel Trick (Skill Card) (90%)

Holly Angel Trick (Skill Card)

• ATK:

• 0

• DEF:

• 0

---

The effect damage of your monsters whose original name is "Trickstar Holly Angel" will be doubled. The following effect can be used once per Duel. Select 1 "Trickstar" Link Monster on your field and gain Life Points equal to its ATK.

Before, when we didn't have this skill, we had Three Effects to buff LP. But after the edit, Three Effects is not as versatile as before, the LP buff was also nerfed as it can only buff 1200 LP when targeting Link 2. Instead we have Holly Angel Trick : Target and buff LP directly equal to Link's ATK. Trickstar (quite similar to eff 3 of the old Three effects but more blunt).

In addition, the additional x2 damage effect of " Trickstar Holly Angel " is not significant but can also be called a slight buff.

Although buffing LP sounds simple, it is suitable to combine with Link 2 Trickstar Crimson Heart

Trickstar Candina (x3)

LIGHT 4

Trickstar Candina

• ATK:

• 1800

• DEF:

• 400

---

When this card is Normal Summoned: You can add 1 "Trickstar" card from your Deck to your hand. Each time your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card, inflict 200 damage to them immediately after it resolves.

The main searcher of the deck, so there is no wonder that this card is x3. Trickstar Candina searches for 1 "Trickstar" from the deck to hand (including monsters, spell/trap cores such as Field cards, Trickstar Festival) . If Eff burns, if you're lucky, we'll be able to structure opp's LP

This will be the starter combo that we always want to see in the first hand, usually there will be a few cases like this:

• We will Search Trickstar Festival if we take turn 1, then we will have +1 card, 6000 LP, 1 Link 2 Trickstar has very good ability to prevent site destruction.
  
  
• When tossing a coin on turn 2, we can search Field Trickstar Light Stage -> add 1 Trickstar (+2 cards) to easily handle, Link,... and finish off the opp (I will talk about it later)
  
  

Trickstar Corobane (x2-x3)

LIGHT 5

Trickstar Corobane

• ATK:

• 2000

• DEF:

• 1000

---

If you control no monsters, or all monsters you control are "Trickstar" monsters: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. During the Damage Step, when your "Trickstar" monster battles an opponent's monster (Quick Effect): You can send this card from your hand to the GY; that monster you control gains ATK equal to its original ATK until the end of this turn. You can only use 1 "Trickstar Corobane" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

Trickstar Lycoris (x1-3)

LIGHT 3

Trickstar Lycoris

• ATK:

• 1600

• DEF:

• 1200

---

(Quick Effect): You can reveal this card in your hand, then target 1 "Trickstar" monster you control, except "Trickstar Lycoris"; Special Summon this card, and if you do, return that monster to the hand. Each time a card(s) is added to your opponent's hand, inflict 200 damage to them for each.

Depending on your preferences, you can give this girl 1-3 slots in the deck. I usually play 2 because of her very good recycling ability, even when going with Lilybell she can create a combo that causes more than 1600 LP with 2 recycles from the grave. In addition, burn eff when opp adds a card to hand is quite easy to happen when the enemy draws, adds,... unlike Candina .

Furthermore, Lycoris's effect is Quick Eff, we can chain at all times to dodge bad effs, or chain in the battle phase to get an extra turn of 1600 ATK. (We can also summon Corbane, attack with 2000 ATK then return the card. Returns to hand with Lycoris -> buffs ATK)

Trickstar Lilybell (x0-1)

LIGHT 2

Trickstar Lilybell

• ATK:

• 800

• DEF:

• 2000

---

If this card is added to your hand, except by drawing it: You can Special Summon it from your hand. You can only use this effect of "Trickstar Lilybell" once per turn. This card can attack directly. When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You can target 1 "Trickstar" monster in your GY; add it to your hand.

This girl's effect is quite similar to Salamangreat Meer   : can be summoned to the field when added to hand (except when you Normal Draw it). You can add this card to your hand with Candina's eff or return Lilybell on the field to your hand with Lycoris. (similar to Salamangreat combo)

Combining with Lycoris in hand, we can max attack 2 turns with Lilybell, causing a total of 1600 LP and returning 2 cards from the grave. In addition, we can also burn a few more LP with Lycoris on the field and with Field

The only thing that makes this card often not used by pros is that it is slow, and to do a combo like above, it takes 1 normal summon, which we will leave to Cadina . In addition, drawing it too early can cause deadhand, but I still quite like the eff of this card and set aside 1 slot for it.

Trickstar Crimson Heart (x2)

Trickstar Crimson Heart

2 "Trickstar" monsters Each time a "Trickstar" monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned to a zone(s) this card points to, gain 200 LP. You can discard 1 "Trickstar" card; both players draw 1 card, but if your LP was at least 2000 higher than your opponent's when this effect was activated, you draw 2 cards instead. You can only use this effect of "Trickstar Crimson Heart" once per turn.

First of all, we have to talk about Crimson Heart, which is favored with x2 extra slots and is always Linked first. The reason is that this girl has 2000 ATK, activating the skill will buff us 2000 LP, from there combined with the effect (when more than opp 2000LP, we can discard 1 Trickstar to draw 2, opp draw 1) and bring it back. advantage over target +1 card.

Trickstar Foxglove Witch (x1)

LIGHT

Trickstar Foxglove Witch

• ATK:

2+ Fairy monsters If this card is Special Summoned: You can inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each card they control. If this Link Summoned card is destroyed by battle or effect: You can Special Summon 1 Link-2 or lower "Trickstar" monster from your Extra Deck, then inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each card they control. You can only use each effect of "Trickstar Foxglove Witch" once per turn.

The first effect deals a maximum of 700 damage while Foxglove Witch is specially summoned depending on the number of cards your opponent controls. Her effect after leaving the field will allow you to bring out a Link 2 or lower (Trickstar monster) from Extra and burn for up to 700 additional Eff damage.

So that this is not an article but just translating cards, I will tell you a few things. Although the eff is not too op, it can help us defend the field well. After the eff is destroyed, we can summon Crimson Heart to prepare for the next turn to draw and comeback. 2200 ATK is not too bad a number when x2 with Corbane will increase to 4400, and Burn will also be very poor when accompanied by Field.

2 "Trickstar" monsters Each time a "Trickstar" monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned to a zone(s) this card points to, inflict 200 damage to your opponent. "Trickstar" monsters this card points to cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. If your opponent takes damage by a "Trickstar" monster's effect: This card gains ATK equal to the damage they took, until the end of this turn.

Although it is a boss monster with summon animation, this is not a very useful card. Right now is the protection effect. Although it is Link 2, in reality it can only point to 1 cell, equivalent to protecting 1 card. Just like the burn effect, very little damage can be done when it can only point to 1 cell.

But because of the Skill (which helps Holly Angle x2 damage burn) and the Field card that adds damage effects and increases ATK, Holly Angle still deserves a slot in the extra.

There is nothing to say about Divaridis as her effect only helps us get more Effect Damage. But don't underestimate this girl too much, decks that constantly spam monsters will cry when they see this card on the field

2+ "Trickstar" monsters While this Link Summoned card points to no monsters, it is unaffected by other cards' activated effects. If this card points to no monsters: You can inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each "Trickstar" monster in your GY with a different name. You can only use this effect of "Trickstar Bella Madonna" once per turn.

1 support is not in the Stage of Trickstar mini box, this is actually the boss of this deck. Just by looking at it, we can see that 2800 x 2 = 5600 ATK (Corbane's eff) is an extremely large number in Duel Links or even in other formats.

Worthy of the deck's real boss, it is not affected by any active effects and even burns some LP when its Link Arrows do not point at any monster. What's scarier than a boss with 5600 ATK, unaffected by eff, nothing can stop Mommy =)))


*NOTE : Try to place it in the Extra Monster Zone on the left side from your perspective to limit the places this card points its arrow to (we will have 2 main monster zone boxes to play with). When the enemy has filled both monsters along both sides of the Main monster zone, you can Link another Trickstar and place this card in the middle of your field for maximum effect.

Trickstar Light Stage (x1)

Spell Field

Trickstar Light Stage

When this card is activated: You can add 1 "Trickstar" monster from your Deck to your hand. Once per turn: You can target 1 Set card in your opponent's Spell & Trap Zone; while this card is in the Field Zone, that Set card cannot be activated until the End Phase, and your opponent must activate it during the End Phase or else send it to the GY. Each time a "Trickstar" monster you control inflicts battle or effect damage to your opponent, inflict 200 damage to them.

Duel Link :

Master Duel :

Limit 1 Field Spell, it can do so many things compared to 1 field card. Search 1 Trickstar monster when active, extra Burn and even better, block 1 enemy Backrow (complementing what Trickstar lacks is the difficulty of fighting backrow).

Because Trickstar Festival takes up x3 slots, its hand creation rate is quite high, so Trickstar Light Festival will be the card that we often search for through Cadina.

Trickstar Festival (x3)

Spell Normal

Trickstar Festival

---

Special Summon 2 "Trickstar Tokens" (Fairy/LIGHT/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0). If a "Trickstar" monster(s) you control that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead. You cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this card, except "Trickstar" monsters. You can only activate 1 "Trickstar Festival" per turn.

1 Card Link 2, can also protect Trickstar Link monsters from destruction (similar to Neo Fusion). Besides being limited to only summoning in "Trickstar" and activating one per turn, this is truly a perfect combo card for this deck.

The limitation of only being able to summon in Trickstar is sometimes a pretty big disadvantage. At that time, we will not be able to summon Knightmare to clear the backrow, making it difficult to finish off the opponent.

Ice Dragon's Prison, Crackdown and Warning Point (Common Trap Card)

Trap Normal

Ice Dragon's Prison

---

Target 1 monster in your opponent's GY; Special Summon it to your field, but its effects are negated, then, you can banish 1 monster from both players' fields that have the same Type as each other. You can only activate 1 "Ice Dragon's Prison" per turn.

Duel Link :

Trap Continuous

Crackdown

Activate by targeting 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; take control of that monster. While you control that monster, it cannot attack or activate effects. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card.

Trap Normal

Warning Point

When a monster(s) is Summoned: This turn, that face-up monster(s) cannot attack, its effects are negated, also it cannot be used as material for a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Summon.

There is nothing too much to say about these 3 cards, these 3 tech traps have been so hot for a long time. They all have very strong effects, so use whatever leaves you have and use them!

Skull Meister

Simple skill, quick eff, hand trigger: 1 Banish card/1 Negate card.

And f*ck the Black Luster Soldiers, +7 cards in the grave for nothing. Skills and decks are too trash, we have to use these cards to counter BLS and many other decks. We can even play x2 per card.

Dark Hole and Needle Ceiling (Wipe field, clear monster )

Spell Normal

Dark Hole

---

Destroy all monsters on the field.

goat :

Trap Normal

Needle Ceiling

---

When there are 4 or more monsters on the field: Destroy all face-up monsters.

These two cards have something in common: Destroy all monsters on the field. This will be an advantage for us because Trickstar Festiv will protect our Link Trickstar from being destroyed.

Wightprincess (x2)

LIGHT 3

Wightprincess

• ATK:

• 1600

• DEF:

• 0

---

This card's name becomes "Skull Servant" while it is in the Graveyard. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can send 1 "Wightprince" from your Deck to the Graveyard. During either player's turn: You can send this card from your hand or field to the Graveyard; all monsters currently on the field lose ATK and DEF equal to their own Level/Rank x 300, until the end of this turn.

When this card is combined with Corbane, we can deliver a pretty effective blow to the opponent. The amount of ATK it reduces is quite a lot (x300 for each level or Rank), countering quite a lot of bosses of all types while our bosses are not affected because the Trickstars are Links (no rank or level).

But that also means that if opp plays the Link deck, they will not be affected by Wightprincess and sometimes we can squeeze it when reducing the ATK of the Trickstar itself from the Main Deck, creating a weakness for the opponent to target. next

Cosmic Cyclone and Mystical Space Typhoon (Avoid Backrows)

goat :

Trickstar is quite difficult to deal with the opponent's back row, so we need these two cards. However, we should not let them take up too many slots and instead we will use Knightmare.

You can only use this effect of "Knightmare Unicorn" once per turn. While any co-linked "Knightmare" monsters are on the field, for your normal draw in your Draw Phase, draw 1 card for each different card name among those co-linked "Knightmare" monsters, instead of drawing just 1 card.

Mercenaries are too common, helping us pave the way to finish off opp. Their effects are quite similar: destroy 1 card on the opp field and can draw more when co-linked

With any one of the three cards "Light Stage, Festival, Candina" plus Skill, we can create Trickstar's basic combo that we will use in 99% of the matches.

1. Example 1: Active Light Stage -> add Candina -> add Festival
   Example 2 (because the possibility of Candina and Festival being in hand is quite high): Candina normal summon -> add Light Stage -> Add 1 random Trickstar
   
   
2. Active Festival -> +2 Tokens
   
   
3. Link summons Crimson Heart with 2 Tokens
   
   
4. Activate skill, Target Crimson Heart +2000LP
   
   
5. Use Crimson Heart's ability -> Discard 1 Trickstar draw 2
