Crystal Beast Deck

Overview
Introduced in Yu-Gi-Oh GX by Jesse Anderson, Crystal Beasts have become a semi-popular deck type. The deck itself will usually focus on getting 5 or more 1600+ ATK Crystal Beast monsters into the Graveyard or Field to Special Summon with Crystal Abundance for an OTK, although some decks also use Rainbow Dragon.

Because of Crystal Beast's universal effect of transferring to the Spell & Trap zone as Continuous Spell Cards when destroyed, some decks will also use cards that are influenced by Continuous Spells. (However it should be noted that the duelist has a choice to send it to the graveyard as well). Magna-Slash Dragon, Gravi-Crush Dragon, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, and Dweller in the Depths are examples of this type of Crystal Beast manipulation.

Crystal Beasts also have many support cards to go with and aid any strategy the duelist using them may have in mind.
