Igknight OTK Deck Guide: How to Play

Playstyle and Win Condition

By all accounts, the Deck should look more like a powerful swarming Deck that can pump out very powerful Fusion Monsters without even needing to conduct a Fusion Summon. It looks like an Aggro Beatdown Deck, but instead the twist involves the monsters used for its true win condiiton: burn damage.

Pendulum Scale of 2

Pendulum Scale of 7

The Deck's stratetgy lies first with the Igknights arechetype. Having as many as possible allows for as much of a chance to use their effects and search out the next piece of the combo. It is also essential to have monsters with a Scales 2 and 7 on hand at all times to properly conduct a Pendulum Summon down the line.

The next pieces lie with these cards. The Igknights are first used to search out Sublimation Knight which uses its effect to equip Squeaknight, and afterwards Squeaknight can Special Summon itself onto the field. This is when you can go into Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights--and the Link Markers provides access to a Pendulum Summon.

Crystron Halqifibrax, Infernoble Knight - Renaud and Junk Anchor are crucial for the next step, chaning summon after summon to move on to a possible Synchro Summon.

Synchro Summoning Road Warrior is where the strategy should begin to take shape, and using its effect you have to Special Summon Cyber-Stein, one of the most crucial cards in this Deck. Afterwards, Link Summoning Reprodocus is the next priorty, as this will provide the ability to change Cyber-Stein's typing to Psychic.

Once Cyber-Stein is turned into a Psychic-type monster, it can now be equipped with Telekinetic Charging Cell, the Equip Spell Card that completely negates what should be a 5000 LP cost every time Cyber-Stein's effect is activatted.

At this sage, it is only a matter of activating its effect multiple titmes until the necessary conditions are met. Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale needs to be in the Graveyard to be properly used. D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon are there to mainly be used as materials to bring out Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom and have its effect that it copied be copied by proxy through Windwitch - Crystal Bell's effect.

Core OTK Combo

The only requirement for this Deck to properly work is to have at least 3 Igknight monsters, regardless of their Pendulum Scales, in your Hand.

Tip!	If you do not have the proper Pendulum Scales, or are missing a Pendulum Scale at this point, you can either use the Igknights engine again to search for the proper scales, or you can use Reinforcement of the Army and Summon Art to complete the set of Scales!

Boss Monsters

	Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom
	Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom is a crucial monster, which has summoning condition that's easy to fulfill in this Deck in needing 2 DARK Pendulum Monsters. Having impressive stats, this monster is also capable of copying the effect of a monster on the field or in the Graveyard.
	Windwitch - Crystal Bell
	The second half of the burn damage tandem, Windwitch - Crystal Bell can copy the effect of monsters on either player's Graveyard and use it as its own. Using this in tandem with Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale allows it to deal the win condition of dealing lethal burn damage.
	Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale
	Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale needs to be in the Graveyard for this OTK to properly work. This will allow Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom and Windwitch - Crystal Bell to deal lethal effect damage by copying this card's effect, which not only boosts its ATK, but also deal effect damage based on their Levels x 500.
	D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Armageddon
	On its own, D/D/D Super Doom King Purple Amrmageddon is a monster with very impreessive stats and equally impressive effects. However, in this Deck this card is used with another copy as Fusion Material for Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom, being a DARK Pendulum monster after all.

Igknight OTK Counters: How to Beat

Best Decks to Use Against Igknight OTK

There is one condition for these Decks to stand a chance against the OTK combo: win the coin toss, and go first. Do not let an Igknight OTK Deck go first in under any circumstance, as it will have a better chance to proplerly conduct its combo.

Drytron Fairy

Drytrons are equipped with some of the most potent effect-negating cards in the game besides powerful monsters, and when Herald of Ultimateness is out on the field, its effect can be used enough times to completely cripple the Igknights' OTK attempt.

Eldlich Control

Even with recent hits on the Eldlich Control Deck's list of cards in the most recent banlist update, it still can handle well in crippling the Igknight deck from even attempting the OTK. Skill Drain in particular remains the most paralyzing card, especially once the player brings out Cyber-Stein.

Best Cards to Tech Against Igknight OTK

	Rainbow Life
	If you do not have any way in dealing with the Deck's high-ATK boss monsters, just tackle the burn damage head on. Rainbow Damage turns all damage, whether battle or effect, into additions into your own Life Points instead. If the Igknights player is not aware or careful, they could end up giving you an additional 8000 ATK instead of burning to 0.
	Prime Material Dragon
	So long as Prime Material Dragon is on the field, it basically carries Rainbow Life's effect against Effect Damage; any burn will turn into a heal instead, increasing Life Points. On top of that, the secondary effect provides a once-per-turn negate against monster-destroying effects.
	Summon Limit
	For an OTK combo, the Deck does need quite a few summons to properly deal the lethal damage. For Summon Limit to work, the Igknigh player has to go second, and you can activate this as soon as their turn begins and the prompt allows it. This forces you and the Igknight player to only have two summons; forcing both to make the summons count.
	Infinite Impermanence
	Infinite Impermanence is most likely your best shot in stopping the OTK from happening, and works regardless of the Igknight player going first or second. The best time to activate this Trap Card would be when Cyber-Stein activates its effect, neutralizing any present and fuure Special Summons for the rest of the turn and preventing them from getting the key monsters out.
