Discard Art - Contract: Fabled!

Hello everyone, let's take a look   Fabled   archetype


*Note: The term "Discard = Send 1 or more cards in hand to the grave" will appear a lot in this guide.




Overview

Fabled is a pretty old deck, quite fun but also a bit confusing, can be played because of the new cool Skill - Contract: Fabled . This deck benefits a lot from sending cards from hand to graveyard and activating their effects in graveyard , so these guys will flood the field and spam Synchro Summon .

Advantage

  • Really fun
  • UR/SR cards can be obtained with box chips, including the most important card - Fabled Grimro .
  • Playstyle is not constrained by combos.
  • There are dozens of Synchro cards to choose from.

Disadvantages

  • Can run out of resources pretty quickly.
  • May be slowly phased out as new archetypes come out.
  • This deck is quite expensive for a newbie.
  • They share weaknesses with current META decks

You can only use this Skill's second effect once per turn and twice per Duel, and the third effect once per Duel. 1: You cannot Normal or Special Summon (excluding Special Summons from the Extra Deck) monsters except for "Fabled" monsters. 2: Send 1 monster from your hand or field to the Graveyard, and then add 1 "Fabled" card from your Graveyard to your hand. 3: Shuffle 1 "Fabled" card from your hand into the Deck, and then add 1 "Fabled" card from your Deck to your hand. During your Main Phase this turn, you can Normal Summon 1 "Fabled Grimro" in addition to your Normal Summon/Set.


This skill is perfect for the deck and has only one limitation (not a small one of course) which is that you can only summon Fabled monsters except monsters from the Extra Deck. It should be mentioned that due to a recent buff, this limitation no longer applies to summoning monsters from your opponent's graveyard. The second part of the skill allows you to send a Fabled from your hand or field to the Graveyard and restore any Fabled monster from the Graveyard back to your hand. The third ability is the best as it allows you to return 1 card and search for a Fabled card , in addition Fabled Grimro can be Normal Summoned or Set for free.

SPOILER ALERT : The card effects in this article will be very brief because... they're pretty simple.

You can only activate 1 "Stairway to a Fabled Realm" per turn.


    I think it's fine to just play a single copy of this card, because it can be easily obtained through Contract and . Alternatively, you can send a monster from your Deck to the Graveyard , which can be added back to your hand through its second ability or effect to discard 2 cards and get back a Fabled monster.

      This card forces your opponent to choose 1 of 2: Let you Draw 2 and Discard 1 or your opponent must discard 1 card from their hand to negate this effect. It also has a pretty funny effect of summoning the monster that your opponent discarded from their hand to kill, which is also quite beneficial.

      1 "Fabled" Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters While you and your opponent have the same number of cards in hand, negate all Spell, Trap, and Effect Monster effects activated by your opponent, and destroy that Spell/Trap/Monster.


      This card is quite situational but it has been great in the past. However, in the current META, it doesn't see much play due to there being better options like Herald of the Arc Light if we Synchro Summon Level 4 .

        If you control no monsters: Special Summon 3 Level 2 or lower Beast-Type Effect Monsters with different names from your Deck. Their effects are negated, and they are destroyed during the End Phase. If you activate this card, you cannot Special Summon for the rest of this turn, except Beast-Type monsters.


        A good card that helps you spam a bunch of monsters on the field, giving us the ability to summon several rank 2 Synchro or XYZ cards immediately. However, it also has a bit of a limitation in that it only revolves around Beast type monsters, so it cannot be played in many variations of the deck.

              Each player draws 1 card, then each player discards 1 card.


              This deck benefits a lot from Discard so these cards will appear quite a lot in the deck's common builds.   .

If the targeted card would be sent to the opponent's GY this turn, it is added to their hand instead. You can only activate 1 "Blizzard" per turn.

                      Pay 1000 LP, then target 1 Spell/Trap on the field; banish it.


                      Unfortunately, this deck doesn't have many ways to deal with Spell/Trap, so it's best to leave a few slots for tech clear backrow.

                              Target 1 face-up monster on the field; until the end of this turn, that target gains 400 ATK, but its effects are negated.


                              Fabled is not a deck that can fit a lot of tech, but depending on the META, we can still consider putting a few cards in.
