Mimighoul Breakdown

Alternate Cards for Mimighoul

Book of Taiyou
Book of Taiyou Book of Taiyou flips a monster on the field face-up. This can work on either field, meaning this can force the flip of a Mimighoul monster on the opponent's side of the field.
Book of Moon
Book of Moon Book of Moon is Taiyou's polar opposite. This time, it flips a monster on the field face-down. This can be used offensively and defensively in Mimighoul. Offensively, it can force the Mimighoul face-down if they were face-up at the start of the turn. While defensively, this can flip the monster face-down to avoid targeted effects.
Morphing Jar
Morphing Jar For a mill version of Mimighoul, consider running Morphing Jar. Though in the current meta this might seem dangerous, but it refreshes both players hands by discarding what the have, then drawing 5. This could help you get to your key cards faster, and also reduce key cards the opponent needs from the Deck.

Mimighoul Deck Guide: How to Play

Playstyle and Win Condition

Master Duel - Mimighoul Deck

The Mimighoul archetype are a bunch of Fiend monsters that specialize with using Flip Effects as part of their strategy. Not only do they have effects when flipped face-up, most of them are detrimental to the user.

Fortunately, the Deck also has a second gimmick: giving the opponent some of your Mimighouls, so they take the brunt of their effects.

Mimighoul Flip Monsters

The very backbone of the deck are the Flip Monsters it can make use of. The two key cards here are Mimighoul Fairy and Mimighoul Dragon, which are all at three copies each.

Fairy prevents its current user from activating monster effects for the rest of the turn, while Dragon destroys all their monsters on flip. The latter also doubles as a searcher for a “Mimighoul” Spell or Trap when you summon it to your field.

The remainder of the Mimighouls provide support, so often it is alright to have them at around 1 copy per Deck. The only exception is Mimighoul Archfiend, who is best at 2 copies but can make a case of having 3 copies instead.

Archfiend makes your opponent give you a draw, and discard a card in a simultaneous effect. Slime lets you Special Summon another “Mimighoul” monster. Armor protects your Mimighouls from battle destruction.

The kingpin is Mimighoul Master, who becomes much harder to kill while the opponent has a “Mimighoul” on their field.

Mimighoul Spells and Traps

The Spells and Traps for this Deck are equally important. Mimighoul Dungeon prevents the opponent from doing much so long as they have a monster card face down--though that would be mostly through your cards' effects.

Mimighoul Maker is the enabler of the Deck, forcing the opponent to choose randomly between two Mimighoul monsters, and both are summoned to opposite sides of the field.

Mimighoul Room helps flip monsters face-down to enable Dungeon's effects, while Mimighoul Charm can mess with and even steal monsters from the opponent's Extra Deck up to twice per turn.

Mimighoul Xyz Monsters

The Xyz Monsters are also powerful enough, and they balance each other in offense and defense.

Mimighoul Throne can cheat out Mimighoul Master on summon. This Xyz Monster can become an equip card for Master, boosting its ATK and bouncing cards from the field to the hand for every material this Xyz Monster had.

The more aggressive monster is Giant Mimighoul, whose presence alone allows all other Mimighoul monsters to attack directly while the opponent controls a monster face-down. It also destroys cards on the field equal to the Set monsters, burning with effect damage for each card destroyed.

Core Combos and Interactions

Work in Progress - Information Available Soon

Boss Monsters

Giant Mimighoul
Giant Mimighoul While Giant Mimighoul is face up, and the opponent controls a face-down monster (mostly due to your effects), all your "Mimighoul" monsters can attack the opponent directly. This monster doubles as a searcher on Xyz Summon, and can deal burn damage for each face-down monster this card destroys by the same effect.
Mimighoul Throne
Mimighoul Throne Mimighoul Throne is the key to cheat out Mimighoul Master from anywhere on your side of the field. It can equip that monster to gain an ATK boost, then bounce back cards the opponent controls depending on the materials this card has attached.
Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder
Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder The classic board wipe after attacking with an Xyz Monster, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder is a great way to clear the field of everything except itself. It can be used as a desparation clear if the field is not on your favor, or as a means to get rid of everything to enable your own board again.
Underworld Goddess of the Closed World
Underworld Goddess of the Closed World A Mimighoul Deck can easily swarm the field with lots of monsters, and using them as Link Material for Underworld Goddess of the Closed World is a great way to declutter your Main Monster Zones. Even better is the fact that it can use one of the oponent's monsters on the field as material, safely removing them off the field without even activating any effect.

Mimighoul Counters: How to Beat

Best Decks to Use Against Mimighoul

Anti-Meta Stun

Anti-Meta Stun

While the Mimighoul Deck likes to play around, giving monsters to both sides of the field, an Anti-Meta Stun Deck is basically the opposite of fun. Every card in that Deck is meant to interrupt any play from happening.

From Skill Drain denying monster effects on both fields, to floodgates that prevent Special Summons like Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo, this Deck will not make it fun for Mimighoul.

Anti-Meta Stun Deck List & Card Guide

Sky Strikers

Sky Strikers

Sky Strikers are at their absolute peak right now, and that's not including the new animation series they have as part of the Codes campaign. With Engage now at 3 copies, it can search out interruptions like Widow Anchor, to clearers like Afterburners and Jamming Waves.

There also happens to be a special variation of Sky Strikers being used alongside Tenpai Dragons, which almost wins the game alone once they make it to Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion.

Sky Strikers Deck List and Card Guide

Kashtira

Kashtira

Even with the inclusion of a small Kashtira package in this Deck, there is no better Deck for punishing monster effects than a pure Kashtira Deck.

Players running this package already know what Kashtira Fenrir and Kashtira Unicorn do, but things get even more troublesome once Kashtira Arise-Heart hits the field; especially with a Kashtira Shangri-Ira blocking zones!

Kashtira Deck List & Card Guide

Yubel

Yubel

Yubel is an interesting match-up against Mimighouls, as it can make use of its own monsters for Link fodder--either for the Unchained engine, or even the Fiendsmith engine. It can also use the Mimighouls on their field as Fusion Material if they have Super Polymerization for Yubel - The Loving Defender Forever.

Yubel Deck List & Card Guide

Best Cards to Tech Against Mimighoul

Summon Breaker
Summon Breaker One way to get around Mimighoul's shenanigans is by limiting the number of times both players can summon. With Summon Limit now Forbidden, the next best card to use as a floodgate is Summon Breaker. While this Field Spell is active, it automatically becomes the current player's End Phase once they have summoned three times.
Owner's Seal
Owner Another cheeky way for declutter your field of monsters given by Mimighouls is Owner's Seal, which returns all monsters on the field to their respective owners. This includes the Set "Mimighoul" monsters that were given to you via effect. If the owner's field is too full, the excess cards may remain, but at least it forces the opponent to get their monsters back.
Dark Hole & Torrential Tribute
Dark Hole Torrential Tribute There is no better way to clear your field than by wiping it all out. This is where Dark Hole comes into play, counting as a Raigeki on both sides of the field. Torrential Tribute also works here, as it basically has the same effect.
