Theme Chronicle Plunder Patroll Loaner

Main Deck: 40 cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x3
x2	x2	x1	x1	x1
x3	x2	x2	x2	x1
x1	x1	x1	x2	x1
x1	x1
Extra Deck: 15 cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x1
x2	x1

Deck Explanation

The very same Loaner Deck players can borrow for the Theme Chronicle Event, the Plunder Patroll Deck Voyage to Uncharted Lands is an effective Deck in its own right. Its ability to summon even on the opponent's turn can disrupt the opponent to victory.

Theme Chronicle Crusadia

Main Deck: 42 Cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x3
x3	x3	x3	x2	x2
x1	x1	x2	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x3
Extra Deck: 15 Cards
x2	x1	x3	x3	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1

Deck Explanation

Crusadia was featured in one of the sub-gates of The Legend of the Star Heroes: The Secret Powers of the Planet. Their ability to Link Climb and continue to summon Link Monsters with higher Link Ratings lets them end Duels very quickly with their boss monsters with overwhelming ATK.

Theme Chronicle Level 10 Trains

Main Deck: 40 Cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x3
x3	x3	x2	x1	x1
x3	x3	x3	x2	x2
x1	x1	x1	x2
Extra Deck: 15 Cards
x3	x3	x2	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1

Deck Explanation

Some of the boss monsters for a usual Level 10 Trains Deck, there are still quite a number of optons to go for, focusing on other Rank 10 Xyz Monsters to have a chance at the Extra Deck. Players can be caught off-guard seeing high-leveled monsters being summoned left and right, and being used as Xyz Material.

Theme Chronicle Monarchs

Main Deck: 40 Cards
x3	x2	x3	x1	x1
x3	x3	x1	x1	x1
x3	x3	x3	x3	x3
x2	x1	x3

Deck Explanation

With most of the meta archetypes gone, Monarchs bring back the old school style of playing the game with their various Tribute Summoning. It does not even need an Extra Deck to be competitive compared to the rest of the archetypes.

Theme Chronicle Superheavy Samurai

Main Deck: 40 Cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x3
x3	x3	x2	x2	x2
x2	x2	x2	x2	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1
Extra Deck: 15 Cards
x2	x2	x2	x2	x2
x2	x1	x2

Deck Explanation

The Superheavy Samurai archetype is one archetype that was not hit at all by the Theme Chronicle event's banlist, and is a tricky Deck to both play with, and play against. They specialize in using Defense as their main offense, with monsters that can attack while in Defense Position. They also happen to not carry and Spell or Trap Cards!

Theme Chronicle Galaxy-Eyes

Main Deck: 40 Cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x2
x2	x2	x2	x1	x1
x1	x1	x3	x2	x2
x2	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1
Extra Deck: 15 Cards
x2	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1

Deck Explanation

For the most part, Galaxy-Eyes were mostly untouched in the event-exclusive banlist, even though they were not featured at all in any Solo Mode Gate, the game mode where the event takes inspiration from. Their ability to Special Summon monsters with high ATK and potent effects remains effective in the event format, and their variety in Xyz Monster options is to be feared.

Theme Chronicle Sharks

Main Deck: 40 Cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x2
x2	x2	x2	x1	x1
x3	x2	x2	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x2	x1	x1
Extra Deck: 15 Cards
x2	x2	x2	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1

Deck Explanation

Sharks were also mainly untouched from the event-exclusive banlist, and can make use of lots of Xyz Monsters to be their boss monsters--so long as they match the requirement. They have a very aggressive early game, being able to summon a formidable field on their first turn before the opponent can realize it.

Theme Chronicle Solfachord

Main Deck: 40 Cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x3
x3	x2	x1	x1	x1
x3	x3	x3	x2	x1
x1	x1	x3
Extra Deck: 15 Cards
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1

Deck Explanation

Solfachords are not featured in the Solo Mode Gate, but they get a chance to shine thanks to the various hits to the more dominant meta-decks in the event banlist. They focus on gaining advantage through Pendulum mechanics, especially when it comes to Pendulum Scales--it matters if the Scale is an odd or event number.

Theme Chronicle Branded Despia

Main Deck: 41 Cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x3
x3	x1	x1	x1	x3
x3	x2	x2	x2	x2
x2	x1	x3
Extra Deck: 15 Cards
x2	x2	x2	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1

Deck Explanation

Even with a number of hits for a Branded Despia Deck in the event banlist, the Deck is still very much viable. A small adjustment had to be made to accommodate the loss of Branded Fusion and Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon not being available, making it a viable contender still in the event's format.

Theme Chronicle Suship

Main Deck: 40 Cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x3
x3	x3	x2	x3	x2
x2	x2	x2	x1	x1
x2	x2
Extra Deck: 15 Cards
x2	x2	x2	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x2

Deck Explanation

An unorthodox Xyz Monster-centric Deck that circles around a Normal Monster as a centerpiece of their strategy, Suships seem like a complicated Deck to play. It focuses on bringing out the Suship Xyz Monsters using Gunkan Suship Shari and a specific monster to give additional effects to the boss monsters.
