Alternate Cards for Lunalight
| Lunalight Blue Cat & Lunalight White Rabbit | |
|---|---|
|
There are two different Lunalight monsters up for consideration to add to the Deck. First is Lunalight White Rabbit, whose effect on summon Special Summons a fellow Lunalight monster from the GY, and can bounce back Spells/Traps the opponent controls as a soft once-per-town. The second is Lunalight Blue Cat, which can give your Lunalight Fusion mosnters additional firepower by doubling their ATK. |
| Artifact Lancea | |
|
Artifact Lancea is still a prominent hand trap to consider for this Deck due to the prevalance of banishing as an effect. Cards like Called by the Grave, Crossout Designator and Gold Sarcophagus will be denied and Decks like Maliss, Tri-Brigade and Kashtira with their banishing effects are going to be neutralized. |
| Bystial Dragons | |
|
The Bystial Dragons can be used defensively for this Deck, as they will be great cards to have going up agianst LIGHT and DARK decks that do not gain advantage from having their monsters get banished from the GY. Depending on how the player builds their Extra Deck, they can be used as materials for a Xyz, Link or even a Fusion Summon. |
| Ultimate Slayer | |
|
Ultimate Slayer has gained prominence as a powerful card that can take out an Extra Deck Monster the opponent controls, and the opponent cannot activate any monster effect in response to this card. However, this Deck will have to have the correct card in the Extra Deck to send to the GY to activate this card. |
| Lunalight Serenade Dance | |
|
One can make a case of adding Lunalight Serenade Dance into the Deck, however it feels bad to have this card drawn instead of searched as this can be a brick when going second. Its most useful effect is by banishing itself from the GY to Special Summon a Lunalight monster straight from the Deck. This also supports the Deck when it summons Fusion monsters by summoning a Lunalight token to the opponent's field, boost the ATK of a monster you target, |
| Guardian Chimera | |
|
An unorthodox pick of a Fusion Monster, but it make sense in context. Guardian Chimera provides draws and destroys cards on the field in one fell swoop, and it depends on whether the materials come from the hand or field. This monster also becomes immune to targeted effects while a copy of Polymerization is in your GY. |
Lunalight Deck Guide: How to Play
Playstyle and Win Condition
The Lunalights' playstyle still has not changed since their release in Master Duel on launch; they are still a powerful combo-heavy Deck that focuses on Fusion Summoning their key monsters, like Lunalight Sabre Dancer and Lunalight Leo Dancer. Through search effects, Special Summons from the Graveyard and the ability to Fusion Summon using Fusion Spells,
However, the archetype has gotten a new breath of life now that it has obtained newer cards that the TCG and OCG have enjoyed for a while with the release of the Future Begins Zero Selection Pack in early November 2025.
New Lunalight Key Cards
The newest addition to the archetype may be its best one yet in the Main Deck: Lunalight Gold Leo. On summon, it can search out a Lunalight monster while discarding a card from the hand. If you discard a Monster, you can trigger this monster's effect while on the field, which lets you retrieve it back to hand, bringing you back up to +1 on card advantage on hand.
Alongside it is the archetype's newest staple, Lunalight Masquerade. On activation, it basically doubles as a Foolish Burial. Its full value shows when Fusion Summoning a monster while this card is active on your field; it can let you add a Polymerization from the GY or Banishment to the hand, then it gives you the option to discard a card.
If you do, this Continuous Spell Card will grant a one-time ability to banish materials from GY when doing a Fusion Summon.
|
|
The archetype also includes two new Fusion Monsters, each one having roles that highlight the Deck's strengths.
The first is Lunalight Perfume Dancer, which on summon searches out Luna Light Perfume to be used as a summon from the GY. It can also shuffle back a Lunalight card on your field to Special Summon a Lunalight monster from the hand.
Lunalight Liger Dancer is now the premiere boss monster in the archetype, and the monster you want to summon as soon as possible. Only other Lunalight cards can affect this monster, effectively making it a Towers, and it can even make a second attack during the Battle Phase. It also has a Quick Effect to nuke all other Special Summoned monsters in the field, which can clear the way to an OTK during the Battle Phase.

Lunalight Counters: How to Beat
Best Decks against Lunalight
Anti-Meta Stun
The key to beating Lunalight Decks is negating and interrupting their Spoecial Summons & card effect activations. You have to prevent them from Fusion Summoning Lunalight Liger Dancer, otherwise they will run down all of your monsters in the Battle Phase.
An Anti-Meta Stun Deck, which is loaded with cards that bottleneck players from effect activations and Special Summons could prove to be a thorn in the side of a Lunalight player.

| Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring | |

Limit Summons & Negate
This Lunalight Deck relies on searches and chaining summons to use for combos to Special Summon from the Extra Deck to create two incredibly powerful monsters that are unaffected by non-Lunalight cards.
