Legend Anthology Dark Magician

Extra Deck: 15 cards

Deck Explanation

Dark Magician did not get affected as much in the event's take on the banlist, and with various hand traps being unusable during the event, players can now slow in more options for the Deck.

Notable inclusions are Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning for firepower, Palladium Oracle Mahad being strong against DARK Decks, and the Illusion of Chaos Engine at full power to get necessary cards on hand.

Legend Anthology Stardust Synchron

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

Extra Deck: 15 cards
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1

Deck Explanation

As thematic as a Synchron Deck is, the archetype has suffered a couple of hits in the banlist, such as Revolution Synchron, Junk Converter and Assault Synchron all being limited to 1 copy per Deck, while Junk Speeder is marked as Forbidden for this event.

Players must find more ways to get materials on the field to be able to do its multiple Synchro Summons.

Legend Anthology Fire King Resonators

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

Extra Deck: 15 cards
x3	x2	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	x1	x1	x1
x1	x1	-	-	-

Deck Explanation

Like the Synchron Deck, Resonators have a couple of crucial cards unavailable due to the event-exclusive banlist. Usually, Crimson Resonator should be at 3 copies, but for the event it is a Limited Card.

Supplementing this Deck are a couple of Fire King cards, and copies of Rekindling to Special Summon them back on the field. Use this to your advantage when Synchro Summoning.

Legend Anthology Red-Eyes

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

Deck Explanation

Red-Eyes also got hit by the event's exclusive banlist, with Black Metal Dragon being Limited--it was a key card that usually sits at 3 copies in a standard Red-Eyes Deck.

Still, this does not deter the Deck's ability to bring out powerful boss monsters via Fusion Summoning and Xyz Summoning. Some Link Monsters are also available for a pivot option!

Legend Anthology Blue-Eyes

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

Deck Explanation

This event is a great way to test out the cards if players bought the Blue-Eyes Max Structure Deck, and construct a Blue-Eyes Deckbased on their cards.

The iconic Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a powerful monster in of itself, but its ability to search cards and access the Extra Deck is now unimpeded with the lack of hand traps during this event.

Legend Anthology Salamangreat

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

Deck Explanation

With a couple of adjustments, Salamangreats are actually fully playable in the Legend Anthology: Acceleration format! While some key cards like Salamangreat Circle and Salamangreat Gazelle are banned, and a key boss monster in Decode Talker Heatsoul marked as Forbidden, some adjustments will have to be made.

While primarily used in a Sycnhro Summon Deck, a couple of Speedroid monsters can be used as Level 3 materials for Xyz Summons and Link Summons.

Legend Anthology D/D/D

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

Deck Explanation

D/D/D/ somehow got into this event completely untouched in the Legend Anthology Festival's format, as no card in the archetype was hit at all in the banlist.

Players can build this Deck to their discretion, and with meta cards like Maxx "C" and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring gone thanks to the banlist, players can fully try their creative prowess with this archetype.

Legend Anthology Umi Control

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

Deck Explanation

Umi Control is a lot less consistent in this format, with key floodgates of the archetype like Electric Jellyfish and Ocean Dragon Lord - Kairyu-Shin being Limited, while the meta cards for a Control Deck like Gozen Match and Rivalry of Warlords are Forbidden.

Players will have to adjust their Umi Control Decks a bit to have it have more options, like with the various Sharks and The Legendary Fisherman benefiting from the Deck's strengths.

Legend Anthology Rose Dragons

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

Deck Explanation

For a little more unorthodox option, while looking for potential flexible cards to add to other Decks, Rose Dragons are a viable Deck to run in Legends Anthology: Acceleration.

A Synchro-based Plant and Dragon Deck, their Extra Deck options are actually more flexible depending on how you build it. Take this as a learning opportunity to learn how to play a Rose Dragon Engine.

Legend Anthology T.G.

Deck Recipe

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

Deck Explanation

Fitting to the theme of encouraging Synchro Summons in this Legend Anthology Format, T.G. can be played in this event. On top of the Loaner Deck featured for the event, most of the cards in a typical Deck remained untouched.

Only the notable hit into the event's banlist is T.G. Screw Serpent being Limited, but otherwise the event is a great way to practice this Deck--with a lack of the meta hand traps working to their benefit.

Legend Anthology Predaplant

Deck Recipe

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

Deck Explanation

The only cards affected among the Predaplant Deck is Predaplant Verte Anaconda and Predaplant Dragostapelia being marked as Forbidden. Luckily, the rest of the archetype remains unaffected for the format.

Players looking for a different Fusion-centric Deck can find home with the power of their exclusive Fusion Monsters, which gain power with the help of Predator Counters.
