How to Play Desperado

Main Combo

Counters for Desperado

Weaknesses

• Difficult to maintain card advantage.
• The Deck is not always consistent.

Gain Control of the Feild

Desperado Decks need to have control of the field to successfully perform their combos and activate their effects. To prevent the other player from gaining the upper hand, you need to control the field before they do.

Protect Monsters from Card Effects

Part of the Deck's main strategy is destroying monsters with card effects. Either activate Spells and Traps that can protect your most valued monsters or use monsters that cannot be destroyed by card effects in the first place.
