Alternate Cards for Regenesis
| Primite Engine | |
|---|---|
|
There are quite a number of Normal Monsters that have 2500 ATK or DEF, making the Primite Engine quite an interesting option for a Deck Engine to go with the Regenesis Deck. Among the most notable of which are Dark Magician and Summoned Skull with 2500 ATK each, Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Igknight Margrave with 2500 DEF. |
| Bystial Dragons Engine | |
|
The Bystial Dragons all have 2500 ATK, allowing them to synergize with the Regenesis Deck. It also helps that they have their searchers like Bystial Magnamhut, a draw engine in Branded Regained, and interruptions like Bystial Baldrake and Bystial Druiswurm, among others. |
| Vanity's Ruler | |
|
With the sheer number of monsters that can be Special Summoned from the hand, the Regenesis player can decide to be cheeky and slot in one copy of Vanity's Ruler. So long as this monster remains face-up and active on your side of the field, the opponent cannot Special Summon monsters at all. |
| Infinite Impermanence | |
|
Infinite Impermanence can force the opponent from using crucial monster effects or give them up, like negations that can interrupt a combo. If you do not have any cards on the field, this can be used from the hand, and if they're used after being Set on the field, they will negate any Spell/Trap Cards used in the same column as this Trap Card. |
| Pot of Extravagance | |
|
Pot of Extravagance makes use of the Extra Deck very sparingly, since most of the Deck's strength can be found in the Main Deck itself. Though they do have options depending on the situation, it will mostly be used for fodder on sending cards to the GY, or by banishing them as cost to activate this Spell Card. |
Regenesis Deck Guide: How to Play
Playstyle and Win Condition
The Regenesis cards are an interesting archetype, as they act as a Deck Engine of sorts that allows the monsters to Special Summon themselves from the hand. The main requirement among the monsters is that you need to reveal a monster that has either 2500 ATK or 2500 DEF.
While they can work with a lot of archetypes who have ace monsters with the required statline, Regenesis can act as a standalone Deck. Although it may need some other Deck Engines and hand traps to fill in the gaps in its playstyle, it can be pretty consistent once players learn how to play the standard combo.
Regenesis Monsters
There are four key monsters to consider when building a Regenesis Deck, with all of them having 2500 in either ATK or DEF. Out of all of them, Regenesis Archfiend is is the Deck's best enabler and combo starter.
On summon, it's a searcher for other Regenesis cards once per turn, and can even retrieve cards from the Banishment. Often times this is needed to add either the titular Regenesis Spell or Regenesis Lord.
|
|
|
The other three monsters in the Deck are support, where they protect each other through negates and interruption by sending another Regenesis card from hand or field to the GY .
Regenesis Sage negates and destroys a card, Regenesis Warrior bounces an opponent's monster from the field back to the hand, and Regenesis Dragon banishes a Spell/Trap Card they control.
The boss monster from the Main Deck monsters is Regenesis Lord, which can only be summoned by banishing a monster with 2500 original ATK or DEF from the field or hand. It gains 2500 more ATK during the Battle Phase, and also deals piercing battle damage against monsters in Defense Position.
When Special Summoned, it can Set a Regenesis Spell or Trap Card straight from the Deck. Usually, you would set Regenesis Birth here, but the Spell Cards can be a good clutch if you happen to have it already on hand.
Regenesis Spells and Traps
|
|
Regenesis is the main Spell Card, and another searcher for the Deck. It can either add or Foolish Burial a Regenesis monster from the Deck. If you already control one, you can instead add a monster that has 2500 orginial ATK or 2500 original DEF.
Regenesis Code locks you out of the Extra Deck for the rest of the turn, but is a clutch Quick-Play Spell that can Special Summon a Regenesis monster from the Deck. It can also banish itself during the Main Phase to Special Summon a Regenesis monster from the GY.
Among the Spells and Traps, you always want to get Regenesis Birth from Regenesis Lord's effect. If you already have it on hand, Set it and get ready to use it when able.
This Continuous Trap Card is three cards' effects in one; Foolish Burial due to sending a monster from the Deck to GY as cost, Book of Moon by forcing a monster to face-down Defense Position, and a lighter version of Return from the Different Dimension to Special Summon as many Banished Regenesis cards anywhere.

Boss Monsters
| Regenesis Lord | |
|---|---|
|
|
Regenesis Lord needs to banish a monster you control with either 2500 ATK or DEF in order to Special Summon this card from the hand. On Special Summon, it can easily set up Regenesis Birth. Then during the Battle Phase, not only does this monster gain 2500 additional ATK, it also deals piercing battle damage against monsters in Defense Position. |
| Kashtira Unicorn | |
|
|
Kashtira Unicorn serves as two purposes in a Regenesis Deck: as a combo extender due to having 2500 ATK, and as a punisher by messing with the opponent's Extra Deck if they use monster effects while this monster is face-up and active on your field. It can also search out Kashtira Birth, which not only can resurrect Kashtira monsters from the GY or Banishment, but it can also allow the Normal Summon of Level 7 monsters without Tribute. |
| Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted | |
|
|
Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted can Special Summon itself from the hand if the opponent Special Summons a monster from the Extra Deck. If you happen to control another Dogmatika monster during this effect, you can also negate a monster's effects for the rest of the turn. |
| Regenesis Archfiend | |
|
|
By revealing a monster from your hand that has 2500 ATK or DEF, Regenesis Archfiend can be Special Summoned from the same hand. On Summon, it adds a Regenesis card from the hand or Banishment. Then, it has the archetype's signature effect of being added to the hand should this card be sent to the GY during the opponent's turn. |
Regenesis Counters: How to Beat
Best Decks to Use Against Regenesis
Maliss
Maliss is still the undisputed best Deck of the current format, given that they can make combos even during the Regenesis player's turn. Especially dangerous are Maliss〈Q〉White Binder and Maliss〈Q〉Hearts Crypter.
It can banish multiple cards from the field and/or GY, and with even more Cyberse cards added in the Regeneration of Stars Selection Pack, the Deck has even more options like Backup @Ignister Allied Code Talker @Ignister.
Maliss Deck Guide and Card List
True Draco
True Draco is underrated as a Deck, but with Master Peace having been taken off the banlist for a good while now, this Deck can surprise even players of combo-heavy Decks like Regenesis.
Depending on what cards were tributed in order to Tribute Summon the Deck's ace monster, that card is immune to the cards of the same type. There are also various flood gates the Deck has to deal with.
True Draco Deck List and Card Guide
Nekroz
The Nekroz were once feared by Yu-Gi-Oh players of the past due to their revolutionary way of playing Ritual Monsters. With additional support obtained from the Regeneration of Stars Selection Pack, they might be reaching a new level of power in Master Duel.
Avance, Swordsman of the Nekroz was everything the archetype needed to be very consistent in their combo. The goal is to have monsters like Nekroz of Unicore and Nekroz of Areadbhair summoned to command the field.
Ryzeal
Ryzeal comes as a contending second place behind Maliss as one of the best Decks for the format, and players are slowly adding Level 4 monster Deck Engines like Heraldry, Sharks and Utopia as possible ways to get Duo Drive and Detonator on the field more easily.
On top of having a bevy of hand traps and interruptions on hand, Detonator and Ryzeal Cross are often game-ending interruptions in their own right.
Best Cards to Tech Against Regenesis
| Necrovalley | |
|---|---|
|
Regenesis is really good in retrieving cards from the GY as it is baked into theirt effects. Necrovalley being active ensures no card can be moved out of the GY, including being added back to the hand. |
| Maxx "C" | |
|
|
Maxx "C" does not discriminate on where a monster is Special Summoned from; so long as the opponent does a Special Summon, this card will provide a draw for each one. If the opponent still continues to go for a full Regenesis combo even after this card fully resolves, you can get at least 2-3 draws after they set up their field. |
| Skill Drain | |
|
Skill Drain denies the Regenesis monsters any ability to use their effects on the field. This disables their interruptions, and are simply glorified beatsticks while this Continuous Trap Card is on the field. |
| Soul Drain | |
|
While Soul Drain is face-up and active, monsters cannot activate their effects from the GY (and from the Banishment). This effectively negates the Regenesis monsters' effects of being added back to the hand when they were sent there during the opponent's turn. |
| Mulcharmy Purulia | |
|
All of the Regenesis monsters mostly Special Summon themselves from the hand when they have a monster with 2500 ATK or DEF from the same hand. Alongside Maxx "C", Mulcharmy Purulia is effectively a double dip in punishing their strategy. Players can also activate one other "Mulcharmy" monster after this card is activated, which also includes another copy of itself. |
