Wyrm, Normal Monster
Tenyi
🇯🇵 ・🇨🇳
Tenyi as an archetype and solo deck is based around the idea of spamming mostly Level 4 Wyrm to the board while not having control of an effect monster, including not having any monsters on board at all, or one of the two non-effect Link monsters. They have the ability to play both synchros and links, with powerful in-archetype examples of each, as well as XYZs due to the large number of level 4 main deck monsters. The deck also includes several cards that can punish the opponent for playing effect monsters while protecting their own cards from targeting or effect immunity over all, as well as the ability to use most of the level 4s as battle traps by banishing themselves from the graveyard.
General Counter Tips:
Keep the normal monsters off the board, and stop the field spell loop.
