Slave becomes the Master

Hello, TurboduelAcademy, Ruby here with the latest Yu - Gi - Oh ! Articles and DeckCrafting. Today I'll be introducing a yet to be discovered its full potential, a powerful bonded serie, and of course their newest support; as well as their strategy/deckbuild.

As the Topic may reffer, I am of course talking about The King of Skull Servants! He is the king of our humble servants, vamping their dead souls to empower himself. With a devastating number of Attack points, also the ability to survive any battle with a little loss of his own power, he truly deserves his own deck.

Alright, let's take a basic look at our precious card:





English: King of the Skull Servants
Chinese: 屍妖王
French: Roi des Crânes Serviteurs
German: König der Totenkopfdiener
Greek: Βασιλιάς των Υπηρετικών Κρανίων
Japanese (Kana): ワイトキング
Phonetic: Waitokingu
Translated: Wight King
Attribute: DARK
Types: Zombie/Effect
Level: Level 1
ATK/DEF: ?/0
Number: 36021814
Card Effect Type(s): Continuous/Trigger

Code:

The original ATK of this card becomes the number of "King of the Skull Servants" and "Skull Servant" cards in your Graveyard x 1000. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, by removing from play 1 other "King of the Skull Servants" or "Skull Servant" card in your Graveyard to Special Summon this card.

Alright, have a quick look at it's stats. He is a Level 1 DARK Zombie with 0 defence; which can be boosted and supported in any ways.His effect indicates that he'll gain a maximum amount of 5000 ATK points, but we also have additional servants, so don't be demoralised . As a nice side effect, he can be revived by removing on of servants when killed by battle, giving you the opportunity to re-boost him on your turn and seek revenge.

As a Dark monster, he can benefith nice supports, such as Allure of Darkness, Dark Illision, or Escape from the Dark Dimension to name a few. But what really makes us interested is being a zombie. As a zombie, he can be easly recruited by Pyramid, and revived by either Book Of Life or Zombie Master. He can also be added to your hand via Goblin Zombie.

Being a level one also affects our deck a little bit. It lets the usage of 2 key spells, Opti-Camofulague Armor and One for One. One for One is an awsome recruiter that lets you summon the King from your deck, even without having you wasted a normal summon! You can also discard a coppy of skull servant stuck in your hand with it.

Opti-Camufulauge is another key spell. It lets KoSS attack you opponent directly, and usually it takes 1/2 hits to kill him directly. You might choose between saving it for the last moment or using it to inflict small punches, it's up to you.


Well, remember I said there were more servants? Here is another, and this lady is pretty serious.


English: The Lady in Wight
Chinese: 屍妖夫人
French: Veuve du Crâne Serviteur
German: Die Herrin der Wichte
Greek: Η Κυρία Στοιχειό
Italian: La Signora Spettrale
Korean: 저주받은하인부인
Spanish: La Señora Espectro
Japanese (Kanji): ワイト夫人
Japanese (Kana): ワイトふじん
Phonetic: Waito Fujin
Translated: Madame Wight
Attribute: DARK
Types: Zombie/Effect
Level: Level 3
ATK/DEF: 0/2200
Number: 40991587
Card Effect Type(s): Continuous

Code:

Face-up Level 3 or lower Zombie-Type monsters you control, except "The Lady in Wight", cannot be destroyed by battle and are unaffected by the effects of Spell and Trap Cards. This card's name is treated as "Skull Servant" while it is in the Graveyard.

Well, Lady is an extreme support for the King. Whilst she makes him battle-immune, she also nullifies the effects of Spells and Traps casted on him, or any other zombie. This effect really contributes to the OTK, eliminating all possible threads and defences. She also has a whoping 2200 Defence, which is pretty hard to run over in our current and upcoming meta. Even though she cant get recruited unlike king, she can still be revived. Also note that she cannot start loop even though you control 2 ladies, but that's okay, doesn't hurt the deck.




Well, our humble servants doesn't end. We have one more, and this one is pretty interesting, and he also adds the deck a new perspective



English: Wightmare
Greek: Ανθρώπινο Όν Εφιάλτης
Thai: คุณนายไวท์
Japanese (Kana): ワイトメア
Phonetic: Waitomea
Attribute: DARK
Types: Zombie/Effect
Level: Level 1
ATK/DEF: 300/200
Number: 22339232
Card Effect Type(s): Continuous/Ignition

Code:

This card's name is treated as "Skull Servant" while it is in the Graveyard. You can discard this card to activate one of these effects: ● Select 1 of your removed from play "Skull Servant" or "Wightmare", and place it in your Graveyard.
 ● Select and Special Summon 1 of your removed from play "The Lady in Wight" or "King of the Skull Servants".

As you can see, this card is 2 things. Either a 2000 ATK boost for the already present king, or he can summon one from RFG, also giving another 1000 ATK boost. His second effect is more important, however, the first has beneficial uses too. Being able to control your RFG let's you play interesting techs, that I'll show a bit later. You can remove another king when one of them dies, then use this one and have a double attacked double kings on the field.



Well, he is not a servant but adds the deck a bit taste, so I'll introduce him too.





English: Shutendoji
Arabic: شوتندوجي
Chinese: 酒吞童子
French: Démon Shutendoji
German: Shutendoji
Italian: Shutendoji
Portuguese: Shutendoji
Spanish: Shutendoji
Japanese (Kanji): 酒呑童子
Japanese (Kana): しゅてんどうじ
Phonetic: Shutendōji
Attribute: EARTH
Types: Zombie/Effect
Level: Level 4
ATK/DEF: 1500/800
Number: 65422840
Card Effect Type(s): Ignition

Code:

Once per turn, you can activate 1 of these effects:
●Remove from play 2 Zombie-Type monsters from your Graveyard to draw 1 card.
●Select and return 1 of your removed from play Zombie-Type monsters to the top of your Deck.

Combined with Wightmare, this card provides a nice engine to the deck. Nothing much to explain, plain draw power+ a unique techinque to summon King, or if needed, Lady. His second effect can also let you re-use cards like mezuki or plague spreader zombie.



Oh and, one more thing. If you can manage to summon this fella, which is totally an ace-case in this deck, you'll pretty much win the game.




English: Archfiend Zombie-Skull
Arabic: عملاق الشّرّ الميت
German: Erzunterweltler Zombieschädel
Greek: Αρχιδαιμόνιο Ζόμπι Κρανίο
Italian: Arcidemone Teschio Zombie
Portuguese: Archdemônio Caveira-Zumbi
Japanese (Kana): アンデット・スカル・デーモン
Phonetic: Andetto Sukaru Dēmon
Translated: Undead Skull Demon
Attribute: DARK
Types: Zombie/Synchro/Effect
Level: Level 6
ATK/DEF: 2500/1200
Number: 59969392
Card Effect Type(s): Continuous

Code:

"Plaguespreader Zombie" + 2 or more non-Tuner Zombie-Type monsters.
Face-up Zombie-Type monsters you control cannot be destroyed by card effects.

Well, the summoning restriction is pretty though indeed, but is nothing hard. you'll need either 1+3 or 1+1+1+1, which I really dont recomend. You can use Spirit Reaper or Lady as the level 3, and one of other servants as level 1 ;=

His effect simply makes your King immortal, and he himself has a nice 2500 atk, which is pretty hard to get over without destruction.

Thanks for reading my article, I hope you enjoyed this Archetype and my deck Don't forget to check it out again in a few days, I'll update with a Strategy/Gameplay video


Ruby - Ccapac Apu Blue

pretty nice ;o i'll definitely give the deck a test run some time and see how it plays. With goblin zombie back at two zombies might be a sleeper for the next format.

Necrovalley and Skill Drain still shut this deck down, and all you have are 2 MSTs to destroy them. Solemn can only counter their activation, and Giant Trunade gives you just a turn.

However, I'd add in a Gravity Bind or Level Limit Area B, as your ace is under level 4.

Oh yeah! Power to the King!

How about Next to be Lost for any potential Skulls you already have on the field?

lol yah thanks for ur information

but is wightmare in KCVDS yet

yep nice deck it back zombies again just needs some fix and it will be very strong

Well, against Necrovalley, I can always side in my Zombie Worlds, and for SD I can pick my Dust Tornados. If you look it at that way, Necro/SD kills all decks so all I can say is side decking.

I use Bone Rat (also featured in Wightmare's artwork) as a proxy for him. If you tell your opponent that, they'll understand.

Cards like Next To Be Lost or Chain Destruction are minuses in terms of card economy. I only use Foolish Burial due to it's higher utility, and others are unneccesary.

Gravity Bind is a no too, because usually I'll be willing to set my servants for them to get destroyed.

What you really need... is a sangan. Fetch literally all monsters except mezuki.

nice one

Solitaire is right, ditched opti to add sangan

Since you put 10 skull servant, its mean your Maximum atack of King Of Skull is 9000....
Its Great.... if u equip it with optic, it will be OTK...well, its good article for me, thanks...
Anyways, its not Pyramid Zombie, but Pyramid turtle, lol

but what will happen if my oppent has fadder it will be danger on me isnt it so i think using counter traps here will help alot to negate effs and things like that and way great idea

Well, also don't under estimate the power of brionac/goyo loop of zombies, they help the OTK too
