Bystial

DARK Level 6

[ Dragon / Effect ]

You can target 1 LIGHT or DARK monster in either GY; banish it, and if you do, Special Summon this card from your hand. This is a Quick Effect if your opponent controls a monster.

Quick effect Banish Light/Dark from either GY to summon itself

Tips:

• Deck have space can use the Bystial engine to take full advantage of Bystial card. It include, include 1x Magnamhut, 1 Druiswurm, 1-3 Saronir, 3 Lubellion, 1 Beast and 1 Regained
• Branded Regained and Branded Beast is good for any light and dark decks. Beast pops one card every turn, regained draws one every turn (if you banish light or dark) and summons a Bystial (preferably Magmuhut for recursion) back for Branded Beast
• You can also run a smaller bystial engine without the spell and trap in most decks that want extra generic body’s for Link, Xyz, Synchro plays or as a disruption if dark and light monsters/archtypes are running rampant in the meta. For example run1x Magmahut, 1x Druisworm, 2x Baldrake.

	Branded Despia	- Branded in Red target - Albion the Branded Dragon in GY the turn it is sent - Titaniklad the Ash Dragon in GY the turn it is sent - Rindbrumm the Striking Dragon in GY - Granguignol the Dusk Dragon in GY - Lubellion the Searing Dragon in GY - Fallen of Albaz (during Albion's effect) - Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous in GY the turn a Fusion Monster was sent to GY - Guiding Quem, the Virtuous target - Block their Bystials	Banishing GY targets in Branded prevents recursion, end phase plays, or interaction during either player's turn. Some targets do benefit from banishment, however. Less usable than D.D. Crow due to summoning a monster that is vulnerable to getting used for Fallen of Albaz's fusion effect.	Usable	View Edit

	Millennium	- Heart of the Blue-Eyes With Druiswurm's GY effect, The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate	Bystial Druiswurm in particular causes this deck a massive headache as it contests Exodia easily. Usable otherwise to remove Heart's GY interaction.	Great	View Edit

	Sky Striker	Sky Striker Ace - Raye Sky Striker Ace - Roze	Can sometimes be chained to the GY revive effect of Sky Striker Ace - Raye to banish the card and prevent the summon, but only if they control another monster. Otherwise Raye is a good target for activating at Spell Speed 1. Banishing Sky Striker Ace - Roze from GY may prevent the tribute effect of Sky Striker Ace - Zero from being activated or fully resolving since most decks only play 1 copy of Roze, and Zero must summon Raye and Roze from either Deck or GY.
