N/R Rarity Festival Archetypes

True Draco

Key Cards for True Draco
Ignis Heat, the True Dracowarrior ImageIgnis Heat, the True Dracowarrior The Monarchs Erupt ImageThe Monarchs Erupt

The combo of using Ignis Heat, the True Dracowarrior and triggering The Monarchs Erupt will negate all card effects of face-up monsters on the field, giving you a clear advantage in the duel.

Megalith

Key Cards for Megalith
Megalith Bethor ImageMegalith Bethor Megalith Ophiel ImageMegalith Ophiel
Senju of the Thousand Hands ImageSenju of the Thousand Hands Megalith Emergence ImageMegalith Emergence

Melffy

Key Cards for Melffy
Melffy Catty ImageMelffy Catty Melffy Pinny ImageMelffy Pinny
Merry Melffys ImageMerry Melffys Number 64: Ronin Raccoon Sandayu ImageNumber 64: Ronin Raccoon Sandayu

The Melffy archetype are composed of Level 2 monsters that can easily be summoned as much as they are easy to bounce back to the hand. They can either transition into Synchro or Xyz Summons, but the latter gives them access to Rank 2 Xyz Monsters.

For example, Xyz Summon Number 64: Ronin Raccoon Sandayu and detach a material to create a Token whose attack becomes equal to the ATK of the monster on the field with the highest ATK. As long as you have another Beast-Type monster on your field, Sandayu cannot be destroyed by either battle nor card effects!

Ghostrick

Key Cards for Ghostrick
Ghostrick Doll ImageGhostrick Doll Ghostrick Stein ImageGhostrick Stein Ghostrick Skeleton ImageGhostrick Skeleton

Triggering the effects of Ghostrick Doll, Ghostrick Stein & Ghostrick Skeleton in that order to constantly banish cards from your opponent's deck equal to the number of Ghostrick monsters you control to deck out your opponent!

Dragonmaid

Key Cards for Dragonmaid
Laundry Dragonmaid ImageLaundry Dragonmaid Parlor Dragonmaid ImageParlor Dragonmaid
Guardragon Pisty ImageGuardragon Pisty Triple Burst Dragon ImageTriple Burst Dragon

With multiple ways of Special Summoning Dragonmaids onto the field, you can easily Link Summon both Guarddragon Pisty & Triple Burst Dragon onto your field, making sure they point to the same spot on your monster zone.

This will give you the ability to negate any effect triggered by your opponent care of Triple Burst Dragon, and the ability to revive any Dragon monster in your GY onto the spot both Link Monsters are pointing to.

Yosenju

Key Cards for Yosenju
Yosenju Izna ImageYosenju Izna Yosenju Kama 1 ImageYosenju Kama 1
Yosenju Kama 2 ImageYosenju Kama 2 Yosenju Kama 3 ImageYosenju Kama 3

A control archetype that gives you multiple ways to stop your opponent from taking any actions. It can also be aggressive given its affinity to Normal Summon one after another via monster effects.

With cards like Yosenju Izna stopping your opponent from activating any cards or effects if discarded when a Yosenju Monster is Normal or Special Summoned, or Yosenju Kama 1 being able to bounce back a face-up card your opponent controls back to the hand.

Metalfoes Draco

Key Cards for Metalfoes Draco
Metalfoes Orichalc ImageMetalfoes Orichalc Metalfoes Mithrilium ImageMetalfoes Mithrilium

The Metalfoes are a Fusion-centric archetype that are made of up mostly Pendulum Monsters. By making the most of Pendulum Summoning, you can Fusion summon Metalfoes Orichalc that can deal double piercing damage when attacking a monster in defense position, or Metalfoes Mithrilium that can recycle monsters in your GY back into your deck.

Paleospiral

Key Cards for Paleospiral
Paleozoic Dinomischus ImagePaleozoic Dinomischus Paleozoic Olenoides ImagePaleozoic Olenoides
Fists of the Unrivaled Tenyi ImageFists of the Unrivaled Tenyi Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon ImageBlue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon

A trap-centric archetype where you can Special Summon trap cards as monsters, and a ton of other traps to control the flow of the Duel. Cards like Dinomischus and Olenoides can interrupt the opponent's strategy enough to give you an opening.

The key here is to bait your enemy to destroy the Set Fists of the Unrivaled Tenyi on the field, which will Special Summon a huge beatstick monster like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from your Extra Deck.

N/R Rarity Festival Loaner Decks

For the players who do not have an N/R-dedicated Deck for the N/R Rarity Festival, the game has provided three Loaner Decks for players to enjoy the event with, each with their own respective playstyle!

While the N/R Festival may long since be over, these Loaner Decks are still viable for those who want to follow the format beyond the event.

I've seen some Kaiju lists using Neo-Spacian Grand Mole or the Yosenju package to return them to their own hand. It manages to clean your monsters easily and beat you down with one other Kaiju.
