Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki

"B.E.S.", short for "Bacterian Empire Ship", also known as "Giant Battleship" ( (きょ) (だい) (せん) (せん) Kyodai Senkan) in the OCG, is an archetype of Machine monsters with various Attributes (primarily LIGHT & EARTH) based on the bosses of the Gradius series. They were used by Lorenzo in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, as well as by Nathan in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force games.

"B.E.S. Big Core" was previously known simply as "Big Core", and since no cards within the archetype have been reprinted since its name was changed all cards that support B.E.S. monsters mention "Big Core" specifically as well.

Playing style[]

The main strategy of this Deck is to get out the field spell, "B.E.F. Zelos" to give all of your B.E.S monsters blanket protection and turn them all into budget "Kozmo Dark Destroyers". Once they have multiple copies of "Boss Rush" on the field and the field spell, the deck starts to become a very real threat as the monsters have protection from many conventional forms of removal and immunity to targetting, and special summon multiple ships to the board that can be used as either beatsticks or Extra Deck fodder.
