Adventurer Phantom Knights Deck Guide: How to Play

Playstyle and Win Condition

Revolving around an engine that dominated the TCG in the past, the Adventurer engine focuses on resolving the Spell card, Rite of Aramesir.

With 2 copies of Water Enchantress of the Temple and Foolish Burial, we can easily search for Rite of Aramesir from the Deck.

Paired with Wandering Gryphon Rider, a Level 7 monster that can be Special Summoned if you control an Adventurer Token can act as a negate whenever a Card or Effect is activated by shuffling this card back into the Deck. As well as Dracoback, the Rideable Dragon an equipable card that can be used to bounce back one of your opponent's cards per turn.

When paired with the Phantom Knights, the Adventure Engine helps improve consistency and resilience of your board to better fend off your opponent's attacks.

But aside from that, you're given three of negates available for use, with two Phantom Knights' Fog Blade, and your Wandering Gryphon Rider on the Field.

Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer will give you the ability to destroy one of your opponent's cards, and have the ability to bounce back one of your opponent's cards to the hand with your Dracoback, the Rideable Dragon.

Adventurer Phantom Knights Counters: How to Beat

Deck Counters

Numeron Decks

Numeron is an OTK deck that outright counters Phantom Knights. This deck aims to bring out four Numeron Xyz monsters on the field to try and finish during the same turn it starts setting up. Since Phantom Knights mostly have one to two Monsters on the field, we lack blockers or ways to prevent open attacks.

As the Phantom Knights player, you can combat this deck by removing Numeron Network as Numerons have a hard time getting the OTK without their Field Spell in play.

Best Cards to Tech Against Adventurer Phantom Knights

	card title
	Skill Drain is a great Floodgate to combat Phantom Knight decks. This card negates the effects of all face-up monsters on the field, which in turn negates your ability to control the board using Rusty.
	Dimensional Fissure shackles most of our plays as this card banishes monsters sent to the Graveyard.
	Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring stops most of our turn one plays as it negates cards sent to the Graveyard. Try and bait this card out first by playing filler cards before attempting your turn one combo.
	Graveyard-reliant decks such as Phantom Knights are vulnerable to Called by the Grave. This card can negate and banish monsters in the opponent's graveyard, preventing Invoked Shaddoll from getting the maximum value off its Shaddoll monsters.

Limit Summons & Negate

This Adventurer Phantom Knights Deck relies on maximizing the use of the GY to recycle monsters to use for summoning powerful Extra Deck monsters.

Using a combination of spells and traps to interrupt your opponent will quickly put the duel in your favor.
