Strategic Summary:

The Tri-Brigade army has long combined forces between the Beasts, Beast-Warriors, and Winged Beasts, but with the addition of the Illusion Chimera support, they now can add Fiends and Illusion monsters to their Brigade! The Tri-Brigade archetype aims to Special Summon Link monsters as its win condition, either via traditional means or by cheating out Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast monsters by banishing the equivalent materials of the same types from your GY. Each of the Main Deck Tri-Brigade monsters represented in the build today carries that effect, from Tri-Brigade Kerass to Tri-Brigade Nervall. As far as which Link Monsters you’ll be summoning, that will typically be Tri-Brigade Shuraig the Ominious Omen for on-demand banishing, but you can also turn to their ultimate Link-5 boss, Tri-Brigade Arms Bucephalus II, which can banish all cards your opponent controls whenever any monster declares an attack. The Tri-Brigade aren’t just known for their Link monsters though, they also have powerful support cards like Tri-Brigade Revolt which lets you Special Summon banished monsters or those from your GY to use for a Link Summon during the opponent’s turn, or the newest addition to their arsenal, Tri-Brigade Roar, which is a swiss army knife with an array of effects to deploy given the situation.

And this brings us to the second part of the deck, the Illusion Chimera side. The Chimera Fusion engine centers around fusing a Beast and Fiend monster together for either of the Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast stand-ins, such as Chimera the King of Phantom Beasts. It revolves around the Quick-Play Field Spell, Chimera Fusion, which is rather recyclable. But the best part, the Chimera engine dumps additional Beasts to the GY. Whether it is the new Berfomet the Phantom Beast Dark Ruler (YGOrg Translation) sending a Beast monster such as Doomstar Ulka directly from your Deck to the GY or just the ability of each of the Chimera Fusion Monsters to banish themselves from the GY and Special Summon a Beast monster, the synergies between the two archetypes can quickly mount and give the deck a solid basis to overcome any opponent. Assemble the squad, for the Tri-Brigade are joined by the Illusion Chimera today!
