10Tenpai Dragon Paidra
A Must-Have Dragon
The Tenpai Dragon archetype steals the show in Legacy of Destruction. They can one-turn-kill your opponents if you play your cards right. One of the best cards is Tenpai Dragon Paidra, which helps the battle phase run like butter.
When summoned, it can add a Sangen spell or trap to your hand or set it on the field. The quick effect lets you synchro summon during the battle phase, which can get you an even more powerful monster to push for game.
9Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion
A Painful Beatdown Boss
Being able to attack relentlessly without having to worry about your opponent responding is one quick way to win a match. Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion is the synchro monster boss for the Tenpai Dragon archetype.
On summon, it changes all monsters on the field to attack position allowing you to deal damage to them during battle. It also forces them to attack if able. This can force your opponent to lose all their monsters during the next battle phase unless they deal with this monster first.
8Diabellze The Original Sinkeeper
Anti-Spell Fragrance On Legs
Diabellze the Original Sinkeeper is a floodgate on legs. It can special summon itself by having asinful spoilscard in your graveyard. Once on the field, it becomes a nightmare for your opponent since they will have to set spells and traps before activating them.
This can give you time to activate effects that can remove those cards from the field, such as Diabellze’s built-in quick effect. If your opponent sets a card you’re able to destroy a fire monster on your side of the field to destroy something on their side.
7Minerva, The Athenian Lightsworn
A Strong Mill Card
One of Edison’s format’s best archetypes is back. Lightsworn monsters are known for milling cards from the deck. Minerva, the Athenian Lightsworn is a great extender that can get plenty of your own cards from the deck to the grave in exchange for banishing Lightsworn monsters you don’t need anymore.
This can also help you make plays with archetypes such as Tearlments, which have many effects that trigger when sent to the grave. It can also produce some fun wins with freshly introduced Skull Servant support.
6Veidos, The Dragon Of Endless Darkness
The Ashened Fusion Monster
Veidos the Dragon of Endless Darkness is apowerful fusion monsteradded to the Ashened archetype. It lets you destroy your opponent’s back row but also acts as removal for your opponent’s monsters.
If your opponent tries to activate an effect, you’re able to send an Ashened card you control to the graveyard to destroy it. This can help remove bodies on the field that would otherwise be used as material for stronger monsters. If you plan to use this TCG-exclusive engine in a future deck, then this card is a must-have.
5Way Where There’s A Will
Eliminate Your Opponent’s Board
Way Where There’s a Will is a field spell with an effect that can wipe out your opponent’s board if they have too many cards on the field at once. Playing this allows you to excavate the cards on top of your deck up to the number of cards your opponent controls and add one of them to your hand.
If you excavated more than nine, then during the end phase, you may shuffle all your opponent’s cards back into the deck. It’s non-targeting and does not trigger graveyard effects.
4Metaltronus
Remove Annoying Cards
Metaltronus is a quick-play spell card that can let you out some of your opponent’s most annoying cards. you may target one of your opponent’s monsters and special summon a monster from your hand, deck, or extra deck with at least two similar aspects.
you’re able to use this on a staple card like S:P Little Knight or Apollousa to Banish it using your own copy. This card also has that sweet ending text that prevents your opponent from responding with that monster when you activate this effect.
3Varudras, the Final Bringer of the End Times
Generic Negates
Varudas is a powerful rank ten XYZ monster with an omni negate. Omni negates are powerful since they can stop almost any card that your opponent tries to activate. This can put a stop to their combos if timed right and offers superb protection.
If this monster attacks you may destroy one card on the field. If this card is destroyed, it can destroy something yet again. This makes Varudas an annoying card for your opponent to remove with almost everything it does, allows it to clear the field.
2Nightmare Throne
The Fiend Searcher
Nightmare Throne is a new addition to the Yubel line of cards. However, despite being useful for getting more Yubel cards in your hand and on the field, it is also surprisingly generic. Generic cards are fantastic because they fit into so many different decks. They can also help make older cards relevant.
Because it searches out fiends with zero attack and defense it can search for more than just Yubel monsters. One example is how it can also search out D/D/D monsters.
1Nightmare Apprentice
A New Illusion Searcher
Nightmare Apprentice is one of the best cards in Legacy of Destruction. If you play using the Chimera archetype, it works as a level six body on the field, and as way to search out specific cards for your combo.
This is one of those cards you need to make room for. If you’re still running Nightmare Magician in your deck, consider switching it out for this card, which is just better value all around. you’re able to summon it using its own effect, or by using another card effect that brings out Illusion monsters.
