"Swordsoul", known in the OCG as "Illusory Blade" ( (そう) (けん) Sōken) is an archetype of Wyrm and Spellcaster monsters which debuted in Dawn of Majesty.

Etymology[]

The Wyrm-Type "Swordsoul" monsters that debuted in Burst of Destiny are based off the ten famous swords of China. The Spellcaster-Type "Swordsoul" monsters are based on former "Dogmatika" monsters.

Playing Style[]

Swordsoul focuses on Synchro Summoning with their Token monster as the Tuner monster, often simultaneously summoning themselves with the Token. While normally limited to Level 8 and 10 Synchro Monsters, their Spells/Traps can banish themselves from the GY to increase/decrease their Levels to offer more options. Their Spells/Traps are also compatible with the Wyrm-Type in general.
