This "Shark" Deck features a new ace card. The first objective is to Xyz Summon "Number 32: Shark Drake" after deploying the necessary monsters through "Surfacing Big Jaws" or a similar card.

Deck Explanation

Difficulty Level: 3☆
This "The Phantom Knights" Deck utilizes effects that activate in the Graveyard. Aim to strengthen your position with cards that send cards to the Graveyard, like "The Phantom Knights of Torn Scales".

With the necessary monsters on your field, Link Summon "The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche" and annihilate the opponent with the"Phantom Knights" Spell/Trap Cards you have prepared.
