Deck Explanation

The iconic Stardust Dragon often comes along supported by the Synchron and Junk archetypes, and this Deck lets it come out with its full power and various evolutions.

Some key cards may have been taken out from the original Deck Recipe due to being banned in this Synchro Festival rerun, but the playstyle remains just about the same.

Synchro Festival Red Dragon Archfiend Resonator

Deck Recipe

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

x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	-	-

Deck Explanation

Red Dragon Archfiend has its own supporing archetype with Resonators, and their focus is more on overwhelming power than a field full of boss monsters.

The key in this Deck is letting the Resonators do all the heavy lifting when it comes to getting the materials needed to properly Synchro Summon.

Synchro Festival Blackwing

Deck Recipe

Main Deck: 40 Cards
x3	x3	x3	x3	x3
x3	2	x2	x1	x1
x1	x1	x3	x2	x1

Extra Deck: 15 Cards
x2	x2	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	-	-

Deck Explanation

Blackwings have finally bloomed into its strongest possible iteration since the release of the Blackwing's Pride Structure Deck, and it shows in just how consistent they are in card advantage and power on the field.

There are some restrictions in place to keep the Blackwings Deck in check, but this is still one of the better pure Synchro Summon Decks worth playing in this year's Synchro Festival.

Synchro Festival Ghoti

Deck Recipe

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

Deck Explanation

Ghoti Decks make a rare case for being powerful due to their unorthodox playstyle; they like being banished, and they can conduct Special Summons and Synchro Summons the following turn.

Before the opponent knows it, you can bring out numerous boss monsters to their surprise if they don't keep track of the number of monsters you banished as card advantage.

Synchro Festival Swordsoul

Deck Recipe

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

Deck Explanation

Even with the loss of the Tenyi monsters and their access to synergistic Link Monsters, Swordsoul Decks can still flourish as a pure Synchro Deck.

The Swordsoul archetype here is supported by the Assault Mode Deck Engine, which provides some easy access into monsters as materials for a Synchro Summon down the line.

Synchro Festival Naturia Vernuslyph

Deck Recipe

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

Deck Explanation

The Naturia archetype has finally reached its full potential with the support of the Vernusylph and Melffy archetypes, and their strength allows them to be strong in the Synchro Festival.

It is quite easy to swarm the field with monsters, and the Deck benefits a lot from having as many monsters on the field as possible.

Synchro Festival Speedroid Windwitch

Deck Recipe

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

Deck Explanation

Speedroids are one of the most aggressive Synchro archetypes in the game, allowing players to Synchro Summon one after another to get to the stronger, higher-leveled Synchro Monsters.

Further supported with the Windwitch archetype, this is easily one of the best WIND archetype-centric Decks, even without other Extra Deck Monster options.

Synchro Festival Virtual World P.U.N.K.

Deck Recipe

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

Deck Explanation

Even without access to its Xyz Boss Monsters, Virtual World is still a formidable Synchro Monster-centric Deck. It is also powered by a small P.U.N.K. engine to make its consistency better.

It is one of the few Synchro-centric archetypes in the game that takes advantage of Level 9 Synchro Monsters, given how the Main Deck Monsters mostly have Levels divisible by 3.
