Card Tips:King of the Skull Servants

• This card can be searched via "Goblin Zombie", "One for One", and "Pyramid Turtle".
  • If you use "One for One", discard a "Skull Servant", "King of the Skull Servants", "The Lady in Wight", or "Wightmare" to power this up.

• See Skull Servants for the Deck featuring this card.

Ways to Mill this card include the following:

• "Dark Grepher"
• "Armageddon Knight"
• "Koa'ki Meiru Gravirose" send level 3 and lower monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard. All the "Wights" count for this. Have a second in your Hand to prevent its Self-destruction effect.
• "Exodius, the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" can be used in conjunction with "Skull Servant" Decks. "Exodius" can send "Skull Servants" to the Graveyard, powering itself up at the same time it powers up "King of the Skull Servants".
• You can use "Chain Destruction" when summoning a "Skull Servant", "The Lady in Wight" or "Wightmare" to throw two copies of the selected card into the Graveyard (from your Hand and/or Deck) and power up "King of the Skull Servants".
  • This can also be used on "King of the Skull Servants" if the amount of "Wight" cards are 2 or less at activation.

• Equip this card with "Opti-Camouflage Armor" while you have numerous "King of the Skull Servants", "The Lady in Wight", "Wightmare" and "Skull Servant" cards in your Graveyard. If you have 8 of any of them in your Graveyard, you can make a Direct Attack with 8000 ATK; enough for an OTK.

• Equip this card with "Phalanx Pike" when you have 1 or more "King of the Skull Servants" in your Graveyard to boost the effect.

• Use the effect of "Dark Grepher" or "Dark Crusader" to send "Skull Servants", "King of the Skull Servants", "The Lady in Wight", or "Wightmare" from your Hand to the Graveyard.

• Since this card's ATK is "?", it could potentially be combined with "Catoblepas and the Witch of Fate".

• When you have 3 "Skull Servant", 3 "The Lady in Wight" and 3 "Wightmare" in the Graveyard, it is better to have 3 "King of the Skull Servants" with 9000 ATK each than to have 1 with 11000.
  • In fact, if you remove 2 "King of the Skull Servants" from your grave for the effect of two "Phantoms of Chaos", and summon those kings with "Return from the Different Dimension" or "Dimension Fusion", you can have five "Kings of the Skull Servants'" on the field with a grand total of 45000 ATK (but "Phantom of Chaos" cannot damage the enemy).
  • Another possibility is to play "Morphtronic Magnen Bar" while you have two attack position "King of the Skull Servants" giving it up to 14100 ATK, Equip "Morphtronic Magnen Bar" with "Opti-Camouflage Armor" and you can OTK just about anyone.

• You can use "Creature Swap" to switch control of this card to you opponent, and it will have 0 ATK. Then, when you destroy the King in battle, you can bring it back to your side of the field with it's effect.

• This card can be powered up quickly using Spell Cards such as "The Cheerful Coffin" and "Hand Destruction". "Card Destruction", "Foolish Burial" and "Next to be Lost" are also helpful.

• Cards like "Necroface" and "Shutendoji" can help preserve the monsters you remove to revive the "King", but both cards are equally capable of removing monsters themselves.

• "Doomsday Horror" is a good side card to have at hand, in case your opponent has a card such as "Soul Release". Or you can use its effect to return to your Graveyard copies that you removed for this card's effect.

• Another good side deck card would be "Gren Maju Da Eiza".

• In a "Skull Servants" Deck, chain "Call of the Haunted", "Armageddon Knight", and "Inferno Reckless Summon", to send three "Skull Servants" to the Graveyard before Normal Summoning this card.

• This card can give a great ATK boost to "Junk Warrior", depending on the number of "Skull Servants", "The Lady in Wight", "Wightmare", and copies of this card in your Graveyard.

• If you Summon this card while there are 3 "Skull Servants", 3 "Lady in Wights" 3 "Wightmares" and 2 "Kings of the Skull Servants" in your Graveyard and "Archfiend Zombie-Skull" on your side of the field, you will have a monster with 14000 ATK that is immune to Spells and Traps; almost indestructible.
  • It's good to know that you can use "Inferno Reckless Summon" when you Special Summon "Skull Servant" to get 3 out for the Synchro Summon of "Archfiend Zombie-Skull" to get them quickly into the Graveyard for "King"'s ATK boost.

• You can use this card in a Lightworn deck, to easily send up to 12 of the "Wights" and return at less one with "Mezuki" and combine with "Judgment Dragon" to make a easy OTK.

• You can use "Morphing Jar" to quickly deposit "Skull Servants" into your Graveyard. This can also help with hand advantage, as you will be likely discarding many of the "Wights" to the graveyard.

• Your opponent can quickly OTK you with a "Magic Cylinder" if you choose to attack with a "King of the Skull Servants" with an ATK of 8000 or more. It's usually wise to have either "Barrel Behind the Door" or "Ring of Defense" set before attacking with "King of the Skull Servants".

Traditional Format

• This card can be searched via "Witch of the Black Forest".

• Use the effect of "Painful Choice" to make your opponent to discard 4 "Wights" to power up "King of the Skull Servants". Activate "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon a "King of the Skull Servants" that was sent to the Graveyard through this effect. It is wise to choose between the Effect "Wights" because your opponent gets to choose which card you keep, and they will likely choose a "Skull Servant" if you allow them to.
