Random Book

Hi, it's me again.

You probably read the title thinking, "But Fox, this isn't 60 Good Machines!"

Haha, look, I'm procrastinating, it'll come out during the next millennia, okay?

To go along with my one-shot "Wings", I'm going to be doing "An Idiot's Guide to" on each deck I feature!

The first one we'll be taking a look at is the protagonist Minoru's deck, Lyrilusc!

Lyrilusc is a battle focused archetype revolving around Winged Beast level 1s to Xyz summon Rank 1s, most particularly Nightingale, so you can attack multiple times directly for game.

Going second, this deck can OTK out of nowhere, and is extremely consistent at bringing out a five material Nightingale just by breathing. It's also decent going first due to Ensemblue Robin, their new Xyz monster that can bounce during the opp's turn.

Before I begin, I'd like make a quick announcement regarding the future of this series.

Since this is something I do for fun, I'm going to shift series this towards being more combo tutorial based since that's what I'm most interested in as a YGO player.

I'll still provide a sample deck list and commentary, but primarily I want to focus on explaining the possible combos as well as test hand examples at the end!

Without further adieu, here's Minoru's Lyrilusc deck!

Monsters:
3x Lyrilusc - Turquoise Warbler (starter and enabler)
3x Lyrilusc - Sapphire Swallow (starter/extender)
3x Lyrilusc - Cobalt Sparrow (monster searcher)
3x Lyrilusc - Beryl Canary (extender)
3x Lyrilusc - Celeste Wagtail (spell searcher)
3x Slower Swallow (extender)
2x D.D. Crow (hand trap)

Spells:
3x Lyrilusc - Bird Call (searcher and enabler)
3x Where Arf Thou? (searcher, the 2k burn doesn't matter when your opp is dead)
3x Wing Requital (Pot of Greed but on bird crack (I wish I was joking))
3x Swallow's Nest (switches a dead card on board for something you need)
1x Lyrilusc - Bird Sanctuary (enables seven material Nightingale)
1x Instant Fusion (extender)
1x One for One (insane starter)
1x Harpie's Feather Duster (back row removal)
1x Stoic Challenge (spicy tech, makes Nightingale massive)

Traps:
3x Harpie's Feather Storm (best card in deck, it negates all opp's monster effs for free like wtf)

Extra Deck:
3x Lyrilusc - Recital Starling (searcher)
3x Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale (wincon)
2x Lyrilusc - Ensemblue Robin (disruption; Unicorn on steroids)
2x Lyrilusc - Prom Thrush (back row removal; buffs Nightingale)
1x Number F0: Utopic Draco Future (negate and steal)
1x Number F0: Utopic Future (means to go into Draco Future)
1x Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder (board wipe)
1x Slacker Magician (stall card)
1x Downerd Magician (emergency attacker)
1x Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale (target off Instant Fusion)

Other options for this deck include!
>Hand traps/going second cards
This is a deck that can OTK very easily after all. Cards like Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Lightning Storm, Forbidden Droplet, etc, are all good at stopping your opponent or breaking their boards so you can make your plays
>Effect Veiler
Veiler gets a special shout out since it's a level 1 like Crow
>Big One Warrior
This card is where Minoru gets the name of his Duel Runner from! Big One is just a nice extender, I used to use it since one pitched a card to GY (which Canary can take advantage of) but I cut it for more utility spells
>Evil Thorn
A one card rank 1 that can also inflict 300 damage for... some reason?
>Jester Confit
Another extender, only issue is you can only control one at a time
>Treeborn Frog
A recyclable level 1 but it's a bit too slow for my taste
>Raidraptor - Last Strix
This card is very searchable in Lyrilusc due to being a level 1 Winged Beast, and can enable a one card Number 77
>Monster Reborn
Another extender
>Called by the Grave
Fuck your hand traps
>Psychic Blade
Another funny tech to make your Nightingale big
>Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon
Target off Last Strix
>Number 77: The Seven Sins
4k wall that's really good for going first
