Forum:How to beat Lightsworn Decks?

Hi, a few players at my local hobby league run Lightsworn Decks, and i'm losing to each lightsworn player. Any advice or strategies in beating or fighting against lightsworns?
 * RFG decks are generally straight counters, but you have to have a strategy outlined around it. Danny Lilithborne 05:55, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

the main deck against them
is basically a macro D.D deck. i lost like every time against, i can never special summon a thing unless i get lucky at times.

Just running 3 Light-Imprisoning Mirror in your deck would also help. Romanovajax 08:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

A few ideas that have crossed my mind: --Gadjiltron 05:08, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Dimensional Stronghold Weapon prevents milling.
 * Playing Mill Decks against them can also do more milling than they need, resulting in them Decking Out faster.

dimensional fissure and macro cosmos definitely does it

Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer so they can't use Necro Gardna or Phantom of Chaos and to remove their Lightsworns from play. Teddy 06:05, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hold on, using "Phantom of Chaos" to remove their Lightsworns from play? You can only remove your own monsters with its effect.  --EgyptianGods 19:57, 6 December 2008 (UTC)-(EgyptianGods)is a dumbass. and needs to learn english.


 * Actually I didn't mention Phantom of Chaos as a counter, but Kycoo so your opponent can't use his effect. Teddy 10:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Generally Lightsworns are A LOT quicker than Macro decks, and trounce them easily. The best way to beat them is either to build an Anti-Meta deck with things like Thunder King Rai-Oh, Royal Oppression, Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo and the like to prevent Special Summons, or to run a Meta deck and side deck specific counters. D.D. Crow works wonders, and should be in everybody's Side (or Main) Deck. I play a Lightsworn deck myself, and I rarely lose to anything other than Gladiator Beasts, Anti-Meta and other Lightsworns, despite lots of Macro Monarchs in my meta. (No Tele-DAD here) Light-Imprisoning Mirror is good too, but do not side deck too many traps against a Lightsworn player, or you will lose badly to Royal Decree! -- Rainyday2012 18:56, 9 December 2008 (UTC)


 * While yes i do run a Lightlord deck, i also run other decks. Remove from Play decks, Mill Decks that make the Lightlord user draw cards &/or mill at the same time, Decks that swarm faster then the Lightlord deck, D.D. Crows and Disappears also hurt Lightlord decks to an extent... you can also throw in Mask of Restricts, Gravity Binds, and i think Stall Decks & some burn decks can cripple/hurt Lightlord Decks... sadly a well built Frogger Deck can kill a Lightlord Deck ~MEOW~ Might of the BIRD Empire 18:53, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Lightsworn isn't that hard to beat. If u side properly that is. I use cards like dimensional stronghold weapon, and light imprisoning mirror and skill drain. Also divine wrath is a great tech, because lightswarns revolve around effects. And it stops them from milling. Also if you play glads like i do, you definaely want to maximize the use of your chariots. Hope this helped!
