Genex Deck Guide: How to Play

Playstyle and Win Condition

Despite the Deck's recipe, a Genex Deck is actually pretty straightforward; the challenging thing about this Deck's strategy is the order of effects you have to resolve to get the multiple monsters out on the field to eventually be used as Synchro Material fodder.

Genex Monsters

A Genex Deck revolves around Genex Controller and the eventual retrain version, the Link Monster Repair Genex Controller. The Link Monster can only be summoned once per turn, and acts as a searcher to start you combos. This card provides a Normal Summon every time a Genex monster is added to the hand. The crucial part of this effect is that it is once per chain, meaning it can be repeatedly used in a single turn.

Each of the other R-Genex monsters in the Main Deck has an effect that lets them search other Genex monsters. Each one has a different Level that they search; using one after another is this Deck's strategy, and the proper order can result to about four Normal Summons at minimum.

The others are going to be act as support to getting mosnters on the field. Genex Ally Birdman is a Tuner that can be Special Summoned, and gains a bit of ATK if the monster returned to the hand via its effect is a WIND monster. Genex Recycled gets to adopt the name of a fellow Genex monster in the GY, and Genex Undine is a good way to search out a Genex Controller onto the field, making this often the end piece of a combo.

Boss Monsters

Most of the Synchro monsters in the Extra Deck share one thing in common: they mostly have generic material requirements, making them easy to summon. Depending on the meta, players can change the cards to deal with the stronger archetypes. Other than that, staples like Baronne de Fleur, F.A. Dawn Dragster, Baronne de Fleur, and even conditional materials like Bystial Dis Pater and Chaos Angel are fair game

Arms of Genex Return Zero is the archetype's best boss monster by a wide margin, and is the only one in this Deck. It can negate the activation of the a monster's effects by banishing a monster in your GY with the same Attribute. It also has the ability to completely wipe out the opponent's back row, depending if they happen to shuffle enough Genex monsters back into the dECk.

The Stardust Dragon Deck engine is actually viable for this Deck, as there are some Level 2 Tuners in this Deck. This allows easy access into the Level 10 monsters, especially Baronne, which thanks to Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon's effect, makes it immune to activated effects.

Core Combos and Interactions

Boss Monsters

	Arms of Genex Return Zero
	If Arms of Genex Return Zero can banish a monster with the same Attribute as an opponent's monster using an effect, the monster is negated and destroyed. It can also shuffle up to six different "Genex" monsters that are in the banishment or GY, and destroy the backrow for the same amount.
	Baronne de Fleur
	The classic Synchro boss monster for Decks that can go for Level 10, Baronne de Fleur remains a staple. The card destruction and omni-negate effects are powerful on their own, and will be the main effects that will be used in this Deck Recipe.
	Bystial Dis Pater
	Bystial Dis Pater is the first monster you will summon among the Synchro Monsters, mainly for its negation ability involving banished cards, and the ability to Special Summon banished LIGHT or DARK mosnters. This latter effect helps out in extending the combos involving the Genex monsters.
	Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend
	Depsite the need for two Tuners, Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend's material requirements are very generic. On top of that, it can negate the activation of Spell or Trap Cards during the Battle Phase alongside an ATK boost, and the option to destroy all monsters during Main Phase 1.

Genex Counters: How to Beat

Best Decks to Use Against Genex

Kashtira

Each of the main Kashtira monsters have effects that punish the activation of monster effects while they are on the field, like Fenrir banishing cards on the field, Unicorn wrecking the Extra Deck, and Ogre taking out an upcoming card from the top of the Deck. It gets worse if they manage to get into Kashtira Arise-Heart.

Yubel

Yubel remains untouched for the most part, and their Deck is incredibly consistent enough to go up against Genex's full combo. A Super Polymerization variant of the Deck can make use of all of their boss monsters to go into Yubel - The Loving Defender Forever, while going first can merit the usage of the Iblee lock (at least, before it gets banned on October 10, 2024).

Anti-Meta Stun

An Anti-Meta Stun Decks is filled to the brim with various floodgates that stops any Special Summon-centric plays. Card advantage against them will be hard in the long run with Time-Tearing Morganite, floodgates and negates galore from their Spells and Traps, and monsters like the Barrier Statues and Pachycephalo are boosted with Moon Mirror Shield and Clockwork Night.

Best Cards to Tech Against Genex

	Droll & Lock Bird
	Because the Genex's usual combo revolves around Normal Summons and triggering search effects for the next monster to summon, Droll & Lock Bird will stop the combo outright for the rest of the turn.
	Thunder Dragon Colossus
	So long as Thunder Dragon Colossus is active on the field, both players can only add cards to their hand by drawing. This immediately restricts all search effects, including the Genex Monsters in the Main Deck.
	Skill Drain
	Most of the Genex Monsters' effects trigger the moment they are Normal Summoned. When Skill Drain is face-up and active on the field, any monster effect that is triggered on the field will be automatically negated.
	Nibiru, the Primal Being
	Unless the player has Crossout Designator on hand, Nibiru, the Primal Being is one of the strongest handtraps to run against a Genex Deck, alongside Droll & Lock Bird. There is no card in the Deck Recipe that can deal with this monster's tributing effect.
