Harpies

Let’s kick things off with the harpies deck. This is a terrific beginner deck, especially if you happen to have an aggressive playstyle – we can relate to this.

Abyss Actor deck

Melodious deck

The Melodious deck is a great option if you’re looking to counter some decks that rely heavily on special summons. More than that, the boss fusion monster card is incredibly difficult to remove from the battlefield. In fact, the chances are that it will remain in battle for the duration of the match, unleashing havoc on the opposition.

Okay, so you might notice that we tend to lean towards an aggressive playstyle, so here’s another deck that provides you with ample opportunity to cause some damage. The Gaia deck features many hard-hitting monsters that are sure to leave a mark on the opposition. More than that, the conditions in which they need to be summoned tend to be easier to achieve, meaning you’re going to have an attack-heavy force in no time.
