Six Samurai

This is going to be a last post for the time being. New semester going to start today so I would have less time for yugimonz. Anyway, in light of Six Sam winning YCS Mexico it's befitting I post a Six Sam deck, my favourite archetype.

3 Maxx "C"

3 Kagemusha of the Six Samurai

2 Elder of the Six Samurai

2 Legendary Six Samurai - Kizan

1 Legendary Six Samurai - Kageki

1 Legendary Six Samurai - Mizuho

1 The Six Samurai - Zanji

1 The Six Samurai - Yaichi

1 Hand of the Six Samurai

1 X-Saber Pashuul

3 Six Samurai United

2 Asceticism of the Six Samurai

1 Gateway of the Six

1 Shien Smoke Signal

1 Reinforcement of the Army

1 Monster Reborn

1 Dark Hole

1 Heavy Storm

1 Book of Moon

3 Double-Edged Sword Technique

3 Fiendish Chain

2 Reinforce Truth

2 Solemn Warning

1 Solemn Judgment

1 Mirror Force

First off, why play Sams? The main advantage of playing Six Sam is, I can spam my backrow since I have access to Shi En/Naturia Beast which will protect them. Since it's very easy to summon Shi En, the deck also has a very flexible side deck option and a strong game 2 since by nature, the sided s/t will be protected by Shi En thus, the deck can optimise it's sided material like no other can.

This is essentially a toolbox Sams powered by Asceticism - Mizuho-Hand , Kizan-Zanji and of course, Elder-Kagemusha. The drawback of Elder is , it doesn't work with certain card combination. Elder + Kizan/Grandmaster is poor. Since Xyz been created however, we can take advantage of Elder's lv3. Not only lv3 works with Elder; here Reinforce Truth which is used to replace Smoke Signal, would get Kagemusha / Pashuul fast will allow for Shi En summon when paired with any lv3. In short, the deck need to focus on lv3 Sams because it's high in utility. Hand, Mizuho, Yaichi are all lv3 and the formers work with Asceticism. The deck is choke full of synergy.

Major change going into game 2 is siding out Uniteds / C's for 3 Macro Cosmos when up against Zectors . For Wind-Up matchup, Rivalry of Warlord should do the job.

Alternative build - Dojo Sams

Basically just replace Asceticism with Dojo. Here's the monster lineup

3 Maxx "C"

3 Kagemusha of the Six Samurai

3 Legendary Six Samurai - Kizan

1 Legendary Six Samurai - Kageki

1 Legendary Six Samurai - Mizuho

1 The Six Samurai - Zanji

1 The Six Samurai - Yaichi

1 Hand of the Six Samurai

1 X-Saber Pashuul

1 Shien's Squire

So, I just take out both Elders for a Squire and another Kizan

By the way, I had taken out 1 Asce and Zanji each for Shien's Footsoldier and Musakani . I miss Musakani when I'm not playing it. One of those hugely versatile card.
