Proxy F Magician x2 Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos x1 - - -

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

Stardust Banner

Main Deck: 40 cards
Doppelwarrior x3 Junk Synchron x3 Reborn Tengu x3 Omni Dragon Brotaur x2 Synchron Carrier x2
Stardust Synchron x2 Caligo Claw Crow x2 Jet Synchron x1 Stardust Wurm x1 Assault Synchron x1

Shooting Star Dragon T.G. EX x1 Shooting Majestic Star Dragon x1 Crimson Dragon x1 Cosmic Blazar Dragon x1 Shooting Quasar Dragon 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

Master Duel - Resonator

Main Deck: 40 cards
Red Resonator x3 Red Sprinter x3 Fire King Avatar Arvata x3 Fire King Avatar Yaksha x3 Fire King Avatar Barong x2
Red Familiar x2 Chain Resonator x1 Creation Resonator x1 Crimson Resonator x1 Dark Resonator x1

Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon x1 Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane x1 Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend x1 Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity x1 Red Nova Dragon x1
Red Supernova Dragon x1 Crimson Dragon 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

Master Duel - Red-Eyes

Main Deck: 40 cards
Red-Eyes Soul x3 Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon x2 Black Metal Dragon x1 The Black Stone of Legend x1 Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight x1
Red-Eyes Retro Dragon x1 Red-Eyes Wyvern x1 Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact x1 Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning x1 Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon x1
Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon x1 Phoenix Gearfried x1 Red-Eyes Black Dragon x3 Summoned Skull x1 Cards of the Red Stone x3
Red-Eyes Fusion x3 Red-Eyes Insight x3 Dragon x1 Harpie x1 Monster Reborn x1
Super Polymerization x1 Red-Eyes Fang with Chain x3 Red-Eyes Spirit x2 Return of the Red-Eyes x2 -
Extra Deck: 15 cards
Red-Eyes Slash Dragon x2 Meteor Black Comet Dragon x2 Archfiend Black Skull Dragon x2 Five-Headed Dragon x1 Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon x3
Linkuriboh x1 Bujinki Ahashima x1 Proxy F Magician x1 Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos x1 Darkness Metal, the Dragon of Dark Steel 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

Master Duel - Blue-Eyes

Main Deck: 40 cards
Sage with Eyes of Blue x3 The White Stone of Ancients x3 Dictator of D. x3 Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon x3 The White Stone of Legend x1
Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon x1 Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon x1 Deep-Eyes White Dragon x1 Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon x1 Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon x1
Blue-Eyes White Dragon x3 Dragon Shrine x3 The Melody of Awakening Dragon x3 Return of the Dragon Lords x3 Ultimate Fusion x3
Cards of Consonance x2 Chaos Form x2 Rage with Eyes of Blue x1 The Ultimate Creature of Destruction x1 True Light x1
Extra Deck: 15 cards
Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon x2 Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon x2 Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon x1 Five-Headed Dragon x1 Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon x2
Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon x2 Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon x1 Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis x1 Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon x1 Number C62: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon x1
Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon 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

Master Duel - Salamangreat

Main Deck: 40 cards
Salamangreat Foxy x3 Flame Bufferlo x3 Speedroid Terrortop x3 Salamangreat Jack Jaguar x3 Backup Secretary x2
Sea Archiver x2 Skull Meister x2 Salamangreat Gazelle x1 Salamangreat Spinny x1 Speedroid Taketomborg x1
Widget Kid x1 Lady Debug x1 Forbidden Chalice x3 Salamangreat Circle x1 Salamangreat Sanctuary x1
Will of the Salamangreat x1 Harpie x1 Monster Reborn x1 Raigeki x1 Speedroid Scratch x1
Speedroid Wheel x1 Salamangreat Gift x3 Salamangreat Roar x1 Infinite Impermanence x1 Solemn Judgment x1
Extra Deck: 15 cards
Salamangreat Miragestallio x2 Tellarknight Ptolemaeus x1 Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon x1 Salamangreat Balelynx x2 Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf x2
Salamangreat Heatleo x2 Linguriboh x1 Security Dragon x1 Transcode Talker x1 Accesscode Talker x1
Borrelsword Dragon 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

Master Duel - D/D/D Banner

Main Deck: 40 cards
D/D Lamia x3 D/D Necro Slime x3 D/D Savant Kepler x3 D/D Swirl Slime x3 D/D Savant Copernicus x3
D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok x2 D/D Ghost x2 D/D Berfomet x2 D/D Savant Nikola x2 D/D Cerberus x1
D/D Gryphon x1 D/D Proud Ogre x1 D/D Savant Thomas x1 D/D/D Vice King Requiem x1 Dark Contract with the Gate x3
Dark Contract with the Swamp King x3 Harpie x1 Monster Reborn x1 One for One x1 Raigeki x1
Infinite Impermanence x1 - - - -
Extra Deck: 15 cards
D/D/D Flame King Genghis x2 D/D/D Oracle King D x1 D/D/D Dragonbane King Beowulf x1 D/D/D Flame High King Genghis x1 D/D/D Wave Oblivion King Caesar Ragnarok x1
D/D/D Gust King Alexander x1 D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried x1 Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon x1 D/D/D Gust High King Alexander x1 D/D/D Stone King Darius x1
D/D/D Wave High King Caesar x1 D/D/D Abyss King Gilgamesh 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

Master Duel - Umi Control

Main Deck: 40 cards
Lantern Shark x3 Warrior of Atlantis x3 Abyss Shark x3 Doom Kraken x2 Atlantean Dragoons x1
Electric Jellyfish x1 Maiden of the Aqua x1 Yorishiro of the Aqua x1 The Legendary Fisherman II x1 Ocean Dragon Lord - Kairyu-Shin x1
The Legendary Fisherman III x1 Citadel Whale x1 Mega Fortress Whale x1 A Legendary Ocean x3 Sea Stealth II x3
Fish Sonar x1 Fury of Kairyu-Shin x1 Harpie x1 Monster Reborn x1 Raigeki x1
Kairyu-Shin x3 Torrential Tribute x3 Sea Stealth Attack x1 Solemn Judgment x1 Torrential Reborn x1
Extra Deck: 15 cards
Number 17: Leviathan Dragon x1 Super Quantal Mech Beast Grampulse x1 Number 101: Silent Honor ARK x1 Full Armored Black Ray Lancer x1 Tellarknight Ptolemaeus x1
Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark x1 Stealth Kragen Spawn x1 N.As.H. Knight x1 Full Armored Crystalzero Lancer x1 CXyz N.As.Ch. Knight x1
Mistar Boy x2 Abyss Keeper x1 Mermail Abyssalacia x1 Accesscode Talker 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

Master Duel - Rose Dragon

Main Deck: 40 cards
Red Rose Dragon x3 Roxrose Dragon x3 Rose Princess x3 Lonefire Blossom x3 Witch of the Black Rose x3
Rose Archer x2 Rose Fairy x2 White Rose Dragon x2 Copy Plant x1 Basal Rose Shoot x3
Frozen Rose x3 White Rose Cloister x3 Harpie x1 Monster Reborn x1 Raigeki x1
Blooming of the Darkest Rose x3 Wall of Thorns x3 - - -
Extra Deck: 15 cards
Black Rose Dragon x2 Black Rose Moonlight Dragon x2 Ruddy Rose Dragon x2 Garden Rose Flora x1 Garden Rose Maiden x1
Queen of Thorns x1 Clear Wing Synchro Dragon x1 Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon x1 Stardust Dragon x1 Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon x1
Crossrose Dragon 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.

Master Duel - T.G. Banner

Deck Recipe

Main Deck: 40 cards
T.G. Booster Raptor x3 T.G. Drill Fish x3 T.G. Gear Zombie x3 T.G. Rocket Salamander x3 T.G. Warwolf x3
Effect Veiler x1 T.G. Screw Serpent x1 Jet Synchron x1 Dinowrestler Pankratops x1 T.G. Limiter Removal x3

Crimson Dragon x1 Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity x1 T.G. Trident Launcher 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

Predaplant Banner.png

Deck Recipe

Main Deck: 40 cards
Predaplant Bufolicula x3 Predaplant Byblisp x3 Predaplant Sarraceniant x3 Predaplant Chlamydosundew x3 Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio x3

Predaplant Triphyoverutum x1 Starving Venom Predapower Fusion Dragon x1 Linkuriboh x1 Sylvan Dancepione x1 Accesscode Talker 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.
