Core Combos and Interactions

Boss Monsters

	Archlord Kristya
	There are actually quite a number of Fairy-type monsters in this Deck Recipe to be able to Special Summon Archlord Kristya on the field. Once you have, it stops both players from Special Summoning so long as this card is face-up on the field.
	Enlightenment Dragon
	It will not be easy to get Enlightenment Dragon out on the field due to material requirements, but its effects are quite worth it. A once-per-turn banishing of the entire field and GYs, and an automatic milling every End Phase can net some massive card advantage. Its floating effect brings out both Judgment Dragon and Punishment Dragon out on the field despite their own requirements!
	Bystial Dis Pater
	Because your Deck has a lot of Chaos-esque effects, banished materials are aplenty to be used by Bystial Dis Pater. This automatically provides a once-per-turn omni-negate, and a once-per-turn Special Summon of a banished LIGHT/DARK monster onto the field.
	Thunder Dragon Colossus
	With some Thunder Dragon cards added to the Decklist, it only seems natural to add Thunder Dragon Colossus to the Extra Deck. So long as it is on the field, it acts as a floodgate against all search effects, only allowing the addition of cards via drawing.

Lightsworn Counters: How to Beat

Best Decks to Use Against Lightsworn

Kashtira

Kashtira's simple combo into Arise-Heart makes this one of the worst Decks to deal against as a Lightsworn player. Most of the Main Deck monsters also punish monster effects if they are on the field. Especially hurting is Kashtira Unicorn which messes up the Extra Deck, and Kashtira Fenrir which can banish monsters on the field.

Exosisters

Quite a lot of the GY effects in a Lightsworn Deck involve moving cards out of the GY for various reasons. Exosisters are the best Deck to deal with this kind of playstyle, and can ultimately punish a Lightsworn Deck. If the cards are right, one move of a card out of the Graveyard can result in multiple Xyz Summons, and denial of the GY in the process among other interruptions.

Floowandereeze

Floowandereeze still holds up well as an Anti-Meta, Anti-Special Summon Deck that also denies the GY as a resource pool. It also hurts any attempts of a play due to the boss monsters being floodgates, like with Empen disabling Special Summoned monsters' effects, and Apex Avian having a soft once-per-turn negate effect.

Best Cards to Tech Against Lightsworn

	Dimension Shifter
	Dimension Shifter is the worst card that this Deck can face, especially if they cannot negate it via Called by the Grave. For two turns, it banishes all cards sent to the GY, which for some cards this Deck wants, but a majority would prefer being sent to the GY instead.
	Macro Cosmos
	Much like Dimension Shifter, Macro Cosmos banishes all cards that were meant to be sent to the GY instead. This is a little easier to deal with, alongside its weaker Spell Card counterpart Dimensional Fissure, as it needs to be face-up on the field for the effect to be active
	Kashtira Arise-Heart
	As a boss monster, Kashtira Arise-Heart is the Deck's worst nightmare. It has the same card-banishing effect as the two cards mentioned above, but this time it also absorbs cards into itself as material for every instance of a card being banished. IT can also use its effect once-per-turn to banish a card on the field face-down.
