Design

Appearance

They visually appear to be ghostly beings. So far, the names of all of their Main Deck cards are based off on an article of clothing or garment, featured in the artwork of each respective card.

Playing style

"The Phantom Knights" monsters involve manipulating their cards while they are in the Graveyard. Though they have other effects, the Main Deck monsters share a common effect of banishing themselves from the Graveyard in order to search each other/their Spell/Trap Cards out or place each other/their Spell/Trap Cards in the Graveyard. Their Spell and Trap Cards also activate from the Graveyard in order to Special Summon more Phantom Knights, including a Pseudo-Trap Monster. These plays are meant to set up the Xyz Summon of Rank 3 and 4 DARK Xyz Monsters, supporting them with stat-increasing and protection effects.
