Unleash the Power of Silent Force: A Comprehensive Deck Review
Welcome, duelists, to a deep dive into the Silent Force deck – one of the hottest new arrivals in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! In this guide, we'll explore its intricate strategy, essential combos, and why it's making waves in competitive play.
Deck Overview:
Silent Force is more than just another ritual-based archetype. It's a versatile mid-range strategy capable of setting up multiple disruptions while boasting decent protection and powerful ritual monsters. With its recent success at YCSJ Ngoya, where it secured fourth place among thousands of participants, it's clear that this deck demands attention.
Key Cards:
-
Noox, the Silent Forcer Disciple: The linchpin of the deck, Noox's ability to search Silent Forcer spells and traps from the deck upon normal or special summon lays the groundwork for explosive plays.
-
Safira, the Wise Queen: This level six dragon offers utility by discarding itself to mill any ritual spell from the deck to the graveyard. Its graveyard effect, allowing you to ritual summon a light Warrior or Dragon Ritual from your hand, adds consistency to the deck's ritual plays.
-
Skull Guardian, the Silent Forcing Protector: As the main boss monster, Skull Guardian's ability to search Silent Force or any light dragon or warrior ritual to hand on summon, coupled with its negate effect, provides crucial disruption and protection.
-
Silent Force Prayer: The standard ritual spell of the deck facilitates ritual summoning of light rituals from the hand. Its graveyard effect, summoning a ritual cavis Safira or Skull Guardian upon being banished if the ritual monster leaves the field due to the opponent's card effect, adds resilience to the deck.
-
Silent Force Barrier: This continuous spell offers invaluable protection, rendering opponent's targeting effects ineffective on light monsters while Noox and a ritual monster are on the field. Its search effect adds consistency by fetching essential archetype cards.
