Then Utopia Enters from Stage Right…

Act Two Opens with a Sweet Duet…

First up – they both love the GY. Whether it is Gogogoglove summoning itself back or Gagagacoat bringing another monster back from beyond, you have quite the powerful discard fodder. This is definitely neccessary, as the Lunalight support cards can carry a significant cost if you’re trying to pair them with a theme that doesn’t enjoy discarding. Secondly, the Onomatopoeia crew provides ways to get your initial Lunalight spells straight to the GY in a pinch with Onomatopaira. This play also happens to be able to get you an initial Level 4 starter in the form of Dododo Buster, and since Paira is searchable by the new Onomatopickup…. Yeah. Consistent tools bring even more consistency.

Behind the Scenes with the Lunalight Combo…

For those of you who have not experienced the sheer absurdity of looping that Lunalights can perform, let me describe a single turn 2 of my test duels. For your reference, the opening hand was Dodododraw, 2 Utopic Onomatopeoia, Zubababancho Gagagacoat and Lunalight Tiger. I chose to go 2nd and drew into Onomatopia for my first turn.

1. Activate Dodododraw, discarding a copy of Utopic to draw 2 cards (Luna Light Perfume and Lunalight Kaledio Chick).
2. Normal Summon Kaledio, then activate its effect by sending Lunalight Yellow Marten from the deck to the GY.
3. Activate Tiger from hand to the Pendulum Zone, then use its effect to Special Summon Marten from the GY.
4. Overlay Kaledio and Marten into Outer Entity Nyarla. Then I used Nyarla’s 2nd effect, detaching both material and attaching Utopic to it.
5. Marten’s 2nd effect activates, adding Lunalight Serenade Dance to hand.
6. Next use the 1st effect of Marten, returning Tiger to hand and Special Summoning itself.
7. Reactivate Tiger, then use its Pendulum effect again to Special Summon Kaledio from GY.
8. Use Kaledio’s effect by sending Lunalight Emerald Bird from the deck to the GY.
9. Next I activated Perfume, Special Summoning Emerald Bird, which triggered its effect to discard Serenade Dance and draw a card (Reinforcement of the Army).
10. Using all 4 monsters (Nyarla, Kaledio, Emerald, Marten), I Link Summoned Saryuja, triggering its 3rd effect to draw 4 cards and return 3.  (Drew Lunalight Kaleido Chick, Foolish Burial, Onomatopaira, Zubababanchou Gagagacoat, and returned Kaledio Chick and both Gagagacoat to bottom of deck).
11. Next I activated Reinforcement, adding a Gagagacoat back to my hand.
12. Paira was activated next, discarding Utopic, and adding a Dodododwarf Gogogoglove and another Utopic to hand.
13. Next I used the GY effect of Serenade Dance, banishing it and discarding Gogogoglove to Special Summon a Kaledio from deck.
14. Chick used its effect, dumping a new Yellow Marten to the GY.
15. This was followed by Perfume’s GY effect, banishing it and discarding Foolish to add another Tiger to hand.
16. Tiger was activated to the other Pendulum Zone and another Kaledio was Special Summoned back to my field by its effect.
17. This Kaledio also used its effect, sending my final Kaledio to the GY from my deck.
18. Next I activated Onomatopia, then overlayed both of my Kaledio into Utopia Double directly beneath Saryuja.
19. Then I used Saryuja’s 2nd effect, special summoning Utopic from hand.
20. Since I controlled a Gagaga monster (Utopic), Gagagacoat could then activate its effect and special summon itself from the hand.
21. Next since I controlled a Gogogo monster (Utopic), Gogogoglove could activate its effect and special summon itself from the GY.
22. Glove and Utopic were Xyz Summoned into Utopia, then Utopia was used as material for Utopia Prime, then Prime was used as Material for Lighting, getting to 4 counters on Onomatopia.
23. The second effect of Gagagacoat was then activated, special summoning Utopic back from the GY.
24. Gagagacoat and Utopic were then used as Xyz material for another Utopia, giving the field spell its 5th and final counter.
25. I entered the battle phase and declared an attack on my opponent’s single ATK-position monster with Utopia the Lightning.
26. In response, I activated the OG Utopia’s effect to negate the ATK, then used Utopia Double’s effect, detatching a material, adding a Double or Nothing! from deck to hand, and summoning Utopia Beyond.
27. Beyond triggers and I chain with Double or Nothing!. Lighting’s ATK is doubled from 4000 (2500 ATK + 1200 from the 6 counters on the field + 300 from Saryuja) to 8000, and my opponent’s monster is reduced to 0 ATK. Resulting in 8000 battle damage and victory. (and only 19 cards left in deck)

That example may seem hand-picked like it was a perfect hand, but note that the example didn’t even involve using Raidraptor – Force Strix to search Zephyros to get yet another activation of Tiger. Sure, it may have been a bit overkill to go for that many Utopia monsters, but that’s what you get when I want to showcase the power of both halves of today’s strategy!

Take a Bow…

You made it this far so thanks for reading! This deck is an awesome display of talent when two Xyz-heavy themes come face to face, plus it is a great example of what the new Utopia cards in Legendary Duelist: Magical HERO can really achieve! The combo and looping potential of both themes made for an anime-inspired duel to last for quite a while, and it can be impressive just how alive your deck can feel as you go for Utopia! Oh, and who doesn’t want to keep pronouncing all the Onomato cards? At any rate – catch you next time with another article featuring an expensive support card from Magical HERO that can boost an OTK deck to enable FTKs as well!

Reminder, I also take suggestions for future CDS articles! I really want to see some input from you! If you wish to see a CDS article about the archetype, theme, or strategy you love, feel free to private message me on the YGOrg Discord server, the YGOrganization Forums, or just post a comment in response to this article on our Facebook page with your ideas to keep under consideration! On most YGO-related communities my username is Quincymccoy, so feel free to reach out. As of now, I have 3 2 outstanding requests that I am looking into: Lunalight, Ballpark Insect/Battlewasp and Heraldic Beast!
