Sections covered in this guide:

Skill

Sentrification (Skill Card) (100%)

Sentrification has the following effects:

Turn all ' Giant Soldier of Stone ' in your Graveyard into ' Sentry Soldier of Stone '. This skill can only be used once per Battle.

Because the effect can only be used once per duel, this skill is really nerve-wracking, because if you turn a card, Evil Eyes or cards with banish effects will be shot away. If you play at x3 high, No Mortal Can Resists will make it disappear. . So you have to be flexible in different situations.

Core

Gorgonic Gargoyle (X3)

Gorgonic Gargoyle has the ability to special summon very easily. As long as there is a Rock-type monster that is normally summoned, this card will special summon it to the field.

But the most important thing about this card is that it doesn't have the line "you cannot special summon monsters, except Xyz monsters" or "you can only summon Rock type", so this card can be mixed in any way. , can produce Gorgonic Guardian , Alucard , Number 47 ,...

Gorgonic Guardian (X3)

Although the summoning conditions are 2 Level 3 Rock-type monsters, once summoned, Gorgonic Guardian is worth the money.

Gorgonic Guardian 's ability can activate on both your opponent's and your own turns. Once per turn: you discard 1 Xyz material from this card to target 1 opponent's monster card, reducing that card's attack power to 0, and if you do, that card's effects are negated. .

*This attack reduction and prevention effect will last until the end of the turn*

Once per turn (this effect only applies during your turn). You target a monster with 0 ATK, destroying that monster. Note: this 2nd effect does not necessarily require using this 1st effect to reduce attack power to 0 ATK, then destroy it, so cards with 0 ATK in face-up defense position or 0 ATK with potentially unpleasant abilities will be destroyed. This destroys it.

Gorgonic Cerberus (X0-1)

When Gorgonic Cerberus is normal summoned, you can make all your Rock-type monsters Level 3. This effect can be played with Level 4 Rock brick so no one plays it.

Gorgonic Golem (X0)

Although Gorgonic Golem has the ability to reduce ATK to 0 and block spells/traps, in the meta, setting monsters is very slow (summoning in attack position is easily OTK), and destruction is also gradually being replaced by banish and push back. hand, even destroy monsters whose effects you cannot trigger. So Gorgonic Golem becomes weak at the present time.

Gorgonic Ghoul (X0)

Gorgonic Ghoul 's effect is too dull, even easy to brick, so it cannot be used in the deck

Staple

Soldier Of Stone

Giant Soldier Of Stone is a Rock-type, Level 3 monster so it can be played with Gorgonic monsters, and because it is a Normal Monster, it can be mixed with search cards or directly summoned from the deck.

Sentry Soilder Of Stone has the ability to jump up from the grave if your monster is all Rock-type, and this effect can only be used once per turn, and of course this is a Rock-type monster, Level 3 and is obtained thanks to the Sentrification skill.

Unexpected Dai allows you to summon 1 Normal Monster directly from the deck to the field, and of course will summon Giant Soldier Of Stone :D. But on the condition that you do not control a monster to activate this card, players can optimize their deck by gradually replacing this card with Painful Decision.

Painful Decision allows you to throw 1 Normal Monster Level 4 or lower from the deck to the Graveyard, and if you do, add 1 card with the same name as that monster from the deck to your hand. This card in the deck gives you +1. After using the Painful Decision card and using the skill, you just need to summon Giant Soldier Of Stone , then jump Sentry Soldier Of Stone from the grave, you will have 2 Rock-type, Level 3 monsters on the field without spending too much.

Cosmic Cyclone and Mystical Space Typhoon (X0-3)

The same goal is to not give the opponent a chance to harass you, but Cosmic Cyclone and MST follow two separate playing styles.

Specifically :

Cosmic Cyclone : requires you to pay 1000 LP to target and remove the enemy spell/trap from the game

===> This makes it easier to activate Level Duplication skills or skills that require LP

MST only targets and destroys 1 spell/trap without paying a cost

===> This will help you play skills that do not require low LP to activate and can still destroy enemy spells/traps without wasting your resources.

Book of Moon and Forbidden Chalice (X0-3)

They all have the same ability to lock the effects of monsters that can attack opponents during your turn so you can combo more easily, but BoM and Chalice are used depending on different situations such as:

Chalice : cheaper than BoM with the ability to prevent effects but increases the blocked monster by 400 ATK

BoM : Place monsters on the field face down (if monsters are face down, except Krawler, the effect will be prevented). In addition, BoM also helps your monsters punch low ATK to DEF monsters like Levianeer and can protect your monsters from cards like Karma Cut (and of course your monster will be in defense position and you have an extra piece of meat to use). Block 1 attack and still consume enemy resources).

Treacherous Trap Hole (X0-2)

If you have no trap cards in your grave, you can target 2 monsters on the field and destroy them. With this effect of Treacherous Trap Hole , you can be proactive in controlling the field, even breaking the opponent's combo and the opponent will surrender when there are no cards to defend. Treacherous Trap Hole should be used for decks that rarely carry traps.

Chronomaly Crystal Bones (X0-3)

Crystal Bone is a Rock-type, Level 3 monster that has the ability to special summon itself to the field if you do not control a monster and your opponent controls a monster. Crystal Bone is more suitable for going later, however if you used Painful Decision , you can Normal Summon this card to jump Sentry from the grave.

Neo-Spacian Grand Mole (X0-2)

Grand Mole is a Rock-type monster, Level 3. Not as disabled as his junior ( Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon ), Grand Mole 's effect has no target (target is extremely important because of target-oriented decks like Galaxy- Eyes is under Saber Dancer odds). When this card attacks an opponent's monster, at the beginning of the Damage Step, return both cards to the hand.

If the enemy boss can jump out on its own, you have already slowed down the enemy by a few beats. If the enemy boss jumps out on its own or cannot jump out on its own, then you have consumed a lot of the opponent's resources or even Even the enemy boss lies in a heap without being able to do anything, just because of a mole 🐧🐧🐧

Number 20: Giga-Brilliant, Digital Bug Corebage, Gaia Dragon and the Thunder Charger (X0-1)

Number 20 here is a monster that is only used as a material for higher ranks. Because the summoning conditions only require 2 Level 3 monsters, many people bring Number 20 as a Staple for the F2P version of the Extra Deck.

Digital Bug Corebage can be Xyz Summoned by separating 2 of Number 20 's materials to jump onto the field and Number 20 will become this card's material. Its strongest effect is to discard 1 Xyz Material and push 1 defense position card to the deck. Although the last effect has the effect of increasing Xyz Materials for this card, if you do not play purely Digital Bug, it will be difficult to activate, so Corebage will usually activate the effect and then jump in rank again.

Gaia Dragon can be Xyz Summoned by using a Rank 5 or 6 monster as material for it and transferring all materials to Gaia Dragon . In the case above, Corebage no longer has Xyz materials, so Gaia Dragon will have only one Xyz material, Corebage , but Xyz materials are not very important to Gaia Dragon because Gaia Dragon does not use Xyz materials for any effects. at all. Gaia Dragon has penetration. Just imagine that the process of jumping rank is to move from a weak body to a slightly higher body and penetrate it.

Number 47: Nightmare Shark (X1-3)

Number 47: Nightmare Shark has an extremely dirty ability, which is to spend 1 Xyz material to punch straight at your origin with a 2k ATK body. Although the side effect is that your other monster cannot attack when it uses the effect, but if you cannot block it, another Number 47 will come onto the field and punch you again (if used to hit the original point, it usually brings 2 leaves ). Nightmare Shark has the ability to overcome all large-bodied enemy monsters and win (if not blocked).

Ghostrick Alucard (X0-2)

Alucard is mainly included in the deck because it is easy to summon and has the ability to capture the opponent's face-down cards (both monsters and magic/traps). Alucard can be mixed with cards like Book Of Moon very well.

Combo

Giant Soldier of Stone, Painful Decision and Sentry Soldier of Stone (Turn first)

You use Painful Decision , throw 1 Giant to get 1 Giant , then activate the skill, 1 Giant will become a Sentry .

Normal summon Giant , use Sentry effect to jump up

At this point you will have 2 options
