The Inca archetype is the last [[Dark Signer]] archetype featured in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]], and they were used by [[Rex Goodwin]]. They somewhat resemble the mythological creatures and artifacts of the Incan civilization and their names usually represent Incan deities. They are set to be released in [[Absolute Powerforce]].

The '''Inca''' [[series]] is the last [[Dark Signer]] Deck featured in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, used by [[Rex Goodwin]]. They somewhat resemble the mythological creatures and artifacts of the Incan civilization and their names usually represent Incan deities. They were released in ''[[Absolute Powerforce]]''.

This archetype focuses on special summoning monsters from the graveyard, utilizing two different combos. The first combo is the obvious [[Sun Dragon Inti]]-[[Moon Dragon Quilla]] loop where one brings back the other once one is destroyed. The second combo is with [[Oracle of the Sun]], [[Fire Ant Ascator]], and [[Supay]] where if either of the 2 Tuners are destroyed ([[Fire Ant Ascator]] [[destroyed by battle|by battle]] or [[Supay]] by a [[card effect]]) they [[Special Summon]] [[Oracle of the Sun]]. Because the [[Synchro Monsters]] this deck is based around both need a total of 5 levels + the needed Tuner's, using quick level 5 monsters like [[The Tricky]] and [[Vice Dragon]] could easily help this deck.

A deck revolving around the Inti-Quilla-Inti-Quilla cycle can be a great nuisance to any opponent facing it, as they keep reviving each other in an infinite loop. There are several cards that can help this deck:
  
  +
{| class="wikitable"
−
*[[Des Counterblow]] can be a huge problem for anyone except yourself, as your monster will return in its opposite form, and you wont attack before you can get the cycle going.
  
  +
! Monster
−
*[[Ancient Forest]] works in a way similar to Des Counterblow, though it's not a Trap Card (thus is unaffected by cards such as [[Jinzo]] or [[Royal Decree]]) and monsters will be destroyed just by ''attacking'', not only if inflicting Battle Damage. It has the added advantage of being a [[Field Spell]], allowing you to use [[Earthbound Immortals]]. The drawback is that monsters will not be destroyed immediately, as with Des Counterblow, depriving you of some damage-dealing and deck-thinning combos.
  
  +
! Origin
−
*[[Imperial Iron Wall]] is almost a staple in this deck, as [[Dimensional Prison]] can disrupt this cycle, and there is no reason for a user of this deck to remove from play. This card can also be greatly disrupting for decks that depend on removing from play, such as [[Chaos]] decks and [[Blackwings#Vayu Turbo|Vayu Turbo]].
  
  +
|-
−
*[[One for One]] can be used to quickly search out and summon [[Supay]], which is one of your main tuners. If you combine this with [[Vice Dragon]], you can summon a [[Moon Dragon Quilla]] and still have a normal summon left.
  
  ⚫
| [[Apocatequil]]
−
*[[Skill Drain]] can be easily played, due to the fact that almost every monster of this archetype activates in the Graveyard, save for [[Apocatequil]]. Its effect helps greatly to counter other powerful decks, such as [[Lightsworns]], [[Gladiator Beasts]], and pretty much anything that depends on Monster Effects.
 
  +
| [[wikipedia:Apocatequil#Deities|Apocatequil]]
−
* [[Temple of the Sun]] doesn't provide a huge bonus, but it makes [[Moon Dragon Quilla]] have 2800 ATK, enough to tie monsters like [[Goyo Guardian]] and surpass ones like [[Thought Ruler Archfiend]]; and makes [[Sun Dragon Inti|Inti]] have 3300 ATK, which in the current Metagame means it will likely not be destroyed by battle, save for the most enormous opponents (which would still be destroyed by Inti's effect).
  
  +
|-
−
* [[Honest]]: since many of this Deck's monsters will be [[LIGHT]], including Inti, it's a perfect choice. Beware though that the card might be a bit situational, as you won't always have a LIGHT monster on the field.

The main focus of the deck is to Synchro Summon out "[[Sun Dragon Inti]]" and "[[Moon Dragon Quilla]]". These two [[Synchro Monster]]s will form a loop, where one dragon revives another when they are [[Destroy]]ed. Over time during a Duel, this loop becomes very frustrating for the opponent.

Duelists also use cards like "[[Ancient Forest]]" and "[[Des Counterblow]]" to destroy their own dragons in order for them to gain their effects.

<!--Not an exact decklist; Don't add multiples, cards from the archetype, or staples-->
  
  +
Generally, an Inca Deck wants to bring out the Dragons as soon as possible. There are many cards that help do this:
⚫
* [[Oracle of the Sun]]
  
  +
*"[[Vice Dragon]]", "[[Kaiser Vorse Raider]]", "[[Cyber Dragon]]", "[[The Tricky]]", "[[Tragoedia]]", "[[Garbage Lord]]" and "[[Chronomaly Tula Guardian]]" (if Field Spell Card is present) can be easily brought out, and as long as you have a [[Tuner monster|tuner]], you will be able to summon a dragon.
⚫
* [[Apocatequil]]
  
  +
*"[[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]]": "Ryko" allows a player to send the top three cards of their deck to the Graveyard. Helpful for sending the tuners to the grave.
⚫
* [[Fire Ant Ascator]]
  
  +
*"[[Level Eater]]". Combos well with Level 5's and higher. Allows more variety in terms of synchroing.
⚫
* [[Supay]]
  
  +
*"[[One for One]]": Allows a player to discard 1 monster in order to special summon a level 1 tuner. It has a combo in which both dragons can be brought out in one go, as early as the first [[Turn]].
⚫
* [[The Tricky]]
  
  +
The combo is as follows:
  +
*1) Special summon an "[[Oracle of the Sun]]"/"[[The Tricky]]". (Note that Oracle requires you to have no monsters while your opponent has monsters)
  +
*2) Activate "[[One for One]]", discarding "[[Level Eater]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Supay]]".
  +
*3) Tune "Supay" with your level 5 monster to summon "[[Moon Dragon Quilla]]".
  +
*4) Activate the effect of "Level Eater" to reduce the Level of "Quilla" by one and Special Summon "Level Eater".
  +
*5) Normal summon "[[Fire Ant Ascator]]".
  +
*6) Tune "Fire Ant" with the Level 5 "Quilla" and Synchro Summon "[[Sun Dragon Inti]]".
  +
  +
*"[[Limit Reverse]]": This trap allows you to Special Summon a monster with 1000 attack or less. "Oracle", "Fire Ant" and "Supay" all have under 1000 attack, so this card can be used to revive the monsters and use them for more Synchro Monsters.
  +
*"[[Skill Drain]]": This card shuts down all monster effects for the cost of 1000 life points. This card counters many decks in the current meta. Also, the Dragon's effect activates in the Graveyard, so it will not burden the deck.
  +
*"[[Imperial Iron Wall]]": This card helps protect the loop against cards like "[[D.D. Crow]]" and "[[Orient Dragon]]". Although it does not make summoning the loop easier, it helps protect against the loop.
  +
*"[[Salvage Warrior]]": Debuting in Extreme Victory, "Salvage Warrior" allows a player to summon a tuner from your [[hand]] or [[Graveyard]] when it is [[Tribute Summon]]ed.
  +
*"[[Giant Rat]]" and "[[Shining Angel]]" helps get out the tuners and "[[Oracle of the Sun]]" respectively.
  +
* "[[Scrap-Iron Scarecrow]]" because many level 5 monsters need the field open for special summon, so you will need to use trap and spells to block attacks.
  +
  +
==Weaknesses==
  +
Whilst Inca can be a formidable deck, there are many cards that may cause huge problems for Inca. The main problem is cards that [[banish]] the Dragons, or return them back to the Extra Deck. For example, cards like "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]" and "[[D.D. Crow]]" are able to permanently banish the dragons from the game, thus ending the loop. While "[[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]" could return them to the Extra Deck, which means you will have to re-Synchro Summon the Dragons (Traditional Format only). Use "[[Imperial Iron Wall]]" to prevent the loop from stopping. "[[Solemn Judgment]]" (Traditional Format only) and "[[Solemn Warning]]" prevent the Dragons from being summoned and therefore, the loop is delayed. Use "[[Seven Tools of the Bandit]]", "[[Dark Bribe]]" and "[[Counter Counter]]" to negate these. Another weakness is that the Dragons both require specific [[Tuner monster]]s. "[[Soul Drain]]" can cripple the Graveyard hindering their effect, and "[[Necrovalley]]" shuts their effects down as well.

Revision as of 15:34, 26 September 2019

The Inca series is the last Dark Signer Deck featured in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, used by Rex Goodwin. They somewhat resemble the mythological creatures and artifacts of the Incan civilization and their names usually represent Incan deities. They were released in Absolute Powerforce.

Playing style

The main focus of the deck is to Synchro Summon out "Sun Dragon Inti" and "Moon Dragon Quilla". These two Synchro Monsters will form a loop, where one dragon revives another when they are Destroyed. Over time during a Duel, this loop becomes very frustrating for the opponent. Duelists also use cards like "Ancient Forest" and "Des Counterblow" to destroy their own dragons in order for them to gain their effects.

Generally, an Inca Deck wants to bring out the Dragons as soon as possible. There are many cards that help do this:

The combo is as follows:

  • "Limit Reverse": This trap allows you to Special Summon a monster with 1000 attack or less. "Oracle", "Fire Ant" and "Supay" all have under 1000 attack, so this card can be used to revive the monsters and use them for more Synchro Monsters.
  • "Skill Drain": This card shuts down all monster effects for the cost of 1000 life points. This card counters many decks in the current meta. Also, the Dragon's effect activates in the Graveyard, so it will not burden the deck.
  • "Imperial Iron Wall": This card helps protect the loop against cards like "D.D. Crow" and "Orient Dragon". Although it does not make summoning the loop easier, it helps protect against the loop.
  • "Salvage Warrior": Debuting in Extreme Victory, "Salvage Warrior" allows a player to summon a tuner from your hand or Graveyard when it is Tribute Summoned.
  • "Giant Rat" and "Shining Angel" helps get out the tuners and "Oracle of the Sun" respectively.
  • "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" because many level 5 monsters need the field open for special summon, so you will need to use trap and spells to block attacks.

Weaknesses

Whilst Inca can be a formidable deck, there are many cards that may cause huge problems for Inca. The main problem is cards that banish the Dragons, or return them back to the Extra Deck. For example, cards like "Bottomless Trap Hole" and "D.D. Crow" are able to permanently banish the dragons from the game, thus ending the loop. While "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" could return them to the Extra Deck, which means you will have to re-Synchro Summon the Dragons (Traditional Format only). Use "Imperial Iron Wall" to prevent the loop from stopping. "Solemn Judgment" (Traditional Format only) and "Solemn Warning" prevent the Dragons from being summoned and therefore, the loop is delayed. Use "Seven Tools of the Bandit", "Dark Bribe" and "Counter Counter" to negate these. Another weakness is that the Dragons both require specific Tuner monsters. "Soul Drain" can cripple the Graveyard hindering their effect, and "Necrovalley" shuts their effects down as well.

Trivia

  • Inti and Quilla are most likely paired up and given the ability to revive one another because Inti, the sun god, was married to Mama Quilla, the moon goddess - this is symbolic of the way day chases night, and vice versa. "Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca" is also based on Viraqocha, the god of everything in Incan culture.
  • Out of all the Incan monsters, Ascator is the only one that isnt based on a figure of Incan mythology, rather its based on Azcatl of Aztec mythology.
