So I read about Qliphoths and-- wait, where are you going? You guys...!

Anyway, an almost pure Qliphoth Deck, because Qliphoths would have it no other way.

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Summoner's Art are primarily for searching Qliphoth Tool, because it's central to the strategy. Performapal Trampolynx is used primarily for bouncing Tool to get another search within the same turn, though it can also clear itself out if I want a different Pendulum in its place.

Because of the ability of Qlips to pull out several monsters in a turn, I've tried working out Beast King Barbaros in this Deck. It's functioned fine so far, with its field-wrecking effect being very helpful at cleaning out dense fields in a way Qliphoth Genome and Qliphoth Archive can't. Performapal Tiptoad's stat-swapping ability comes in handy in certain pinches, either to squeeze out more damage from a weaker stat or trump a monster that's otherwise too big - often I find myself getting walled by an early Endless Decay with little way out.

Qliphoths may be a young archetype, but with its limited resources they really can accomplish loads. Many a Duel against something that isn't Bujins, including a mirror match, has ended in a victory, if not an outright curb-stomp battle. What will the near future have in store for them? --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 02:46, July 29, 2014 (UTC)
