Farming Decks
Lvl 40: Gate Guardian Farm
Strategy
- Link Summon Loading... instead of Loading... to prevent it being destroyed by Loading... .
- Use your Thunder Dragon effects and card draw cards to thin out your deck for the last turn.
- Ideal targets to shuffle back with Loading... are Loading... (so you can search it with your Spellbook line) and duplicate copies of Loading... or Loading... (so you can use the other copy in your hand to thin the deck again).
Last Turn
- Special Summon Loading... by banishing Loading... and Loading... from your Graveyard.
- Normal Summon Loading... and use both Loading... and Loading... on it.
- Enter Battle Phase and Attack Directly for victory!
Replacements
- You can replace any instance of Card Draw with any other instance of Card Draw. Some examples include Loading... + Loading... , Loading... + Loading... + Loading... . As a result Loading... might need to be replaced with any Special Summonable Monster with at least 900 ATK. Some free-to-play options include Loading... , Loading... and Loading...
Lvl 40: Dark Magician Turbo
- Note that "Turbo" Farm Decks usually try to go faster than the opponent, and might not have specific answers to their particular deck.
Strategy
- Attempt to establish Loading... and Loading... with your Loading... . Dark Magic Circle should attempt to banish any problematic cards from the opponent.
- During your turns, try to set up Loading... via Loading... and try to draw through your deck as quickly as possible through the use of Looping Loading... , Loading... , Loading... and your Draw Spells, making sure to keep using Circle to remove problematic cards.
- Use your Extra Deck Monsters to clear your field to keep looping Monster Summons.
Last Turn
- Fusion Summon Loading... using Loading... (It's technically possible to summon it with 5 different names with Extra Deck Spellcasters, if you can activate its effect to wipe the Field).
- If necessary, clear out any remaining monsters with Loading... .
- Activate Loading... on Quintet Magican, either attacking the opponent directly or an Attack Position Monster.
Replacements
- If assessment isn't high enough, you can replace the Skill with Attack Charge to boost your Quintet's ATK to over 10k.
