Dark Simorgh Deck

Dark Simorgh Deck is based upon summoning "Dark Simorgh" to the field using it's flexible ability to return from the graveyard, and to be special summoned from the Hand. Some Dark Simorgh Decks use the combo of "Dark Simorgh" + "Anti-Spell Fragrance" to create a powerful lockdown, and prevent the opponent from using any spell, or trap cards (besides the cards that were set on the field before Dark Simorgh was summoned).

Special Summoning Dark Simorgh
Bringing Dark Simorgh to the field requres a Dark monster card, and a Wind monster card. some decks rely upon sending milling cards from the deck to the graveyards, so that you could remove from play Wind and Dark monsters from your graveyard in case Simorgh is in your hand, or remove from play Wind and Dark monsters from your hand in case Dark Simorgh is in your graveyard.

Other decks might use powerful Wind and Dark monsters to aid you during the battle, such as Reborn Tengu, Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind, and many others.

Another common option is mixing two archtypes, one that uses commonly Dark monsters, such as Blackwing, with an Archtype that uses mainly Wind monsters, such as Harpies.

Dark Simorgh Plants
Since a plant deck consists a large amount of Wind monsters, adding some Dark monsters to it makes it a good Simorgh deck. Quickdraw Synchron works great with Level Eater and Dandylion, while Lonefire Blossom can special summon Spore, or Tytannial, Princess of Camellias. You can also use Caius the Shadow Monarch and Raiza the Storm Monarch to send a monster card from the field to the graveyard as a tribute to one of the Monarchs, and use the monster that was sent to the graveyard as a material to special summon Dark Simorgh.

Genex Ally Birdman can aid you as a tuner, and as a 1900 ATK beatstick. Also, in case Dark Simorgh is in your graveyard, you can return one Wind monster from the field to your hand, and remove it to play with a Dark monster to special summon Dark Simorgh. You can use Genex Ally Birdman's effect to return a face-up Reborn Tengu you control from the field to your hand, and by doing that your Birdman gains 500 ATK, and you get to special summon one Reborn Tengu from your deck to the field, while you have another Reborn Tengu in your hand. You can either Synchro Summon a level 7 monster using Reborn Tengu and Genex Ally Birdman, or attack with your monsters, dealing a maximum of 3600 LP to your opponent.

Best Plants to use in this deck would be Glow-Up Bulb and Spore, thanks to the fact that they are useful in your graveyard even if you are not planning on removing it from play (for Spore only of course). Tytannial, Princess of Camellias is a great option too, as it can tribute itself to negate destruction, and because it is a Wind monster, it can be used by the effect of Dark Simorgh. You can use Lonefire Blossom to special summon Tytannial, Princess of Camellias, or any other plant you got.

Sangan is capable of searching your deck, to find the monster you need the most, as well as it being a Dark monster. You can use Spirit Reaper (a great Dark monster) as a Tribute material for Raiza the Storm Monarch

To throw away Glow-Up Bulb, Dandylion, Spore and Level Eater into your graveyard, you can either use Quickdraw Synchron for a level 5 Tuner, or The Tricky for a nice 2000 ATK beatstick.

Since there is a big amount of level 3~1 Monsters, using Debris Dragon would be wise (once again, sending a Wind monster to the graveyard). You can synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon, and activate it's effect to remove from play your Glow-Up Bulb, Lonefire Blossom or Dandylion.
