This is a modified version of the "Bird Up" Deck, this time centered around the Xyz Monsters and the ability to attack multiple times directly through Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale.
Even with the loss of a crucial Trap Card in Tri-Brigade Revolt, the players still have access to powerful Link Monsters like Tri-Brigade Shuraig the Ominous Omen to control the Field.

In a lot of past Master Duel events, Ancient Warriors is an archetype that often gets away from the event-exclusive banlist, but this version of the Monster Type Festival is tailor-made for them.
The opponent having monsters on the field is an immediate advantage to this Deck, who are strong enough sometimes that the Extra Deck acts as an accessory rather than the Deck's main strength.

Melffy Decks can stand on their own as a singular archetype, but they play a lot slower without the Spright Engine boosting its Level 2 and Rank 2 access.
When pulled off right, Melffy of the Forest can negate monstersas they're activated on the field. The rest of the monsters in the Extra Deck are the firepower.

Beetroopers are one of the more aggressive archetypes available in the event, and with a little help from the Inzektor monsters, it can easily get to monsters like Giant Beetrooper Invincible Atlas or Ultra Beetrooper Absolute Heracles.
