Deck Explanation

Master Duel - Mikanko

Mikanko is almost at full strength for the Ritual Festival, save for one crucial nerf--Mikanko Water Arabesque is set as Limited for the event. Nevertheless, the Deck's core strength of reflecting battle damage back remains untouched. Players can bring this to the event comfortably.

Deck Explanation

Master Duel - Vanquish Soul

Vanquish Soul does not even need a Ritual Monster, yet the event has given them full power with no cards being given limitations. Their amount of interruptions via Quick Effects can be enough by itself, so long as it has monsters with the correct Attribute on hand, and even just one of them on the field.
