FULL Power SPYRAL - FLEX Your TIER 0 Muscle Memory | Combo Guide | YuGiOh! Master Duel

With the full release of Quick Fixes of the banlist, we can start to see SPYRAL's full potential, that once reigned over the TCG as a Tier 0 deck. SPYRAL is a very versatile deck and can run almost anything from Tearlaments, Danger?!, Codebreaker, P.U.N.K. to Ishizu's in a 40 to 60 card deck. It has been topping on occasion over the past year, but never really stuck its landing on the meta. Even with the release of Quick Fix, don't think it will change, but it will definitely be more robust.

Anyway, I've made this guide to show the most basic SPYRAL deck with its most basic combo, which can be devastating on its own right. Since we can add any trap from the grave to our board, it is extremely flexible. For example, we could add Macro Cosmos, or Non-Fusion Area instead of Anti-Spell Fragrance to shut down our opponents. Anyway, if you want more detailed SPYRAL guides and decklist, ones that might harness the power of other engines, you can always check TwoTone's channel.
If you want to see an slightly older and more budget version of this deck on ladder, you can check out this video: • Learning: SPYRAL | YuG...
Disclaimer for these Basics guides:
1) We will ignore the opponents' hand, unless we need them to do something to show parts of our combo.
2) The searchers specified will be able to kick-start the combo by fetching starters. It is possible we use search cards later in the combo that aren't specified in the searchers at the start (e.g. SPYRAL Double Helix can be considered a searcher for putting Quick Fix on board).
The YuGiOh! Basics Series is a series of videos where we elaborately walk through different combo lines and combo stratagies for different decks. Aiming to inform beginners of the deck, or just beginners to YuGiOh! in general and we do this in YuGiOh! Master Duel, even though most combos work fine in the OCG/TCG fine too. We're hoping that these guides will give you the confidence of playing with a tier 0 deck, even though it is ranked slightly (or vastly) below that and not, as Seto Kaiba had put it, be a third rate duelist with a forth rate deck. Be as Yugi Moto, play and learn and believe in the heart of the cards!

Even forgot to mention in the end board overview that Anti-Spell Fragrance also causes the opponent to only be able to set spells 🙈.

[@RivalFaust]

Wait so does that mean they can't Evenly match?

[@cognitivegrub0]

@@RivalFaust They can definitely use Evenly. I was referring to not being able to activate spells but only allowed to set them during their turn. As Anti-Spell reads: "Both players must Set Spell Cards before activating them, and cannot activate them until their next turn after Setting them." So trap cards are not influenced whatsoever and can be used normally. Hope this answers your question.

[@ButWhyMe...]

Why not use imperial order?@@cognitivegrub0

[@Cringe_Doctor]

​@@RivalFaust that is a trap card.

[@axellagoccia260]

I literally crafted Spyral yesterday, best time for this ❤

[@cognitivegrub0]

Awesome!

[@ptcruiser6]

the code breaker package is really good in this. so are danger cards if you are looking for budget additions to help spyral

[@cognitivegrub0]

Yeah, those are great too. I might want to do some research and see how I can implement that into my Spyral list. Thanks for the addition!

[@webbysham6283]

I have most of the SPYRAL cards but don't know how to combo with them properly. Thank you for the vid now I know how to properly use them for combos. Though I do lack the Link cards to make it effective.

[@cognitivegrub0]

Thanks for the kind words! And if you want more elaborate SPYRAL combos, check out TwoTone's KZbin channel. He is a SPYRAL wizard! - www.youtube.com/@TwoToneShoes

[@natqn]

I think for the last second last part you can special summon super agent by guess the top deck of your opponent, then use 2 monsters( double helix + super agent) to link into knightmare Cerberus, beacuse if you read cerberus last part it said co- link monster cant be destroy by card effect and it will protect all your link because the arrow point make them co-link

[@cognitivegrub0]

That is certainly an option I did not think about. However, not sure how relevant it is when they can't use spells on their turn, are limited on monster effects and we have a pop 2 during their turn, but can certainly help. Thanks for the insight!

[@FGCTekken]

I like the Spyral Tearlament version. People who Maxx C you loose turn 0 😂

[@cognitivegrub0]

The renowned Maxx C challenge! How often did you manage to win that challenge?

[@FGCTekken]

@Cognitive Grub 0 - MasterDuel Honestly with people running more board breakers then hand traps the win rate is quite high. Looking at my dual log on master duel: - I won going against Sword Soul going second via deck out. - I won against Tear going second via deck out. - I won against Tear going first via deck out. I played 11 games and those 3 games where the only games that I got maxx c'd. I lost way more to D-Shifter in draw phase. In the Tear match up and they've milled at least once the win con of deck out is really good. Sword Soul if they activate a pot that's and don't d.d your masterplan that's an easy win via deck out but even if they didn't use pot if you can get kelbek and Agido to resolve then you have a really good chance of winning via deck out. But you have to know your line to maximise your special summons.

[@cognitivegrub0]

@@FGCTekken Fair enough, Spyrals are already a skill heavy, knowing your limits (and chokepoints), let alone when you try to maximise your summons. So, my hat's off to you for making it work.

[@kiddsoloman636]

Would spyrals work with the labrynth monsters or the lair monsters

[@cognitivegrub0]

Maybe, I am no spyral expert, so I wouldn't know. I am not directly seeing a lot of synergy, but maybe you can make it work. Also, you can watch TwoTone's channel for some more Spyral deck building ideas. He is a dedicated Spyral player, so he definitely has more insights on how to build it differently.

[@Prateek_Dalal]

Any alternative to Ghostrick Dullahan?

[@cognitivegrub0]

Number 13 and Number 31 are also Dark Fiends, which meet the requirement of Curious. However, they cannot activate their effect on your first turn (due to the absence of monsters on your opponents field), so they are somewhat limited. But for summoning Curious it should work. And when you use it to summon Curious, both attached Quick Fixes go the the GY, which is the main reason to XYZ summon to begin with (so we can use their GY effect again). Please let me know if those work, I haven't tested those myself.

[@Prateek_Dalal]

@@cognitivegrub0 thank you so much :)

[@heyitsme3123]

Does Knightmare Gryphon negate Sleeper?

[@cognitivegrub0]

Gryphon states "Special Summoned monsters on the field cannot activate their effects, unless they are linked." - With the current end board's positioning, Gryphon is pointing to Sleeper, thus he can activate its effect. If we would have moved Sleeper one to the left, he is no longer directly next to Gryphon and therefore no longer linked, disallowing its effects from activating. TLDR: He (Sleeper) can activate its effect as he is linked with Gryphon.

[@heyitsme3123]

​@@cognitivegrub0Hello thank you for the explanation, I got one more question, why my barricade's effect goes first, now I can't block chain the master plan, how do you make so master plan's effect go first like in this video?

[@heyitsme3123]

Nvm, it was on game settings - duel - activation order settings (turn it on), I will leaves it here for newbie like me in the future incase you also trying to figure this out ;)

@@masao9107 Thanks for your kind words! I'm only here to help and have fun, so it made sense to fully answer your question. It is the least I could do.

[@Jonathan.w.]

I dont think crafting ghostrick xyz is necessary you can do the same thing with number 13, better off crafting another UR card

[@cognitivegrub0]

I agree, see the comment below. It will only become relevant when somewhere along the line you'll get negated and cannot use your xyz as a material. In that case, we can still use Dullahan's effect to extend a little further, whilst number 13 and 31 cannot.

[@Jonathan.w.]

@@cognitivegrub0 thats very reasonable tho I dont think your opponent would let you go that far if they have hand traps lol

[@cognitivegrub0]

@@Jonathan.w. Never say never, but if they haven't put down every interuption they have by then, you'd probably already won. So it isn't the best UR to craft, as you said, you'd better use it for something else. But if you already have it, it is the most optimal one (by a slight margin).
