Notes & Combos

I want to start off this decklist writeup by saying Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone's having a great start to the 2026 year so far. I know I am because 2026 is a huge year for me. For anyone who doesn't know, this year is the year I walk the stage for my university graduation. You may call me Dr. Crimson after May 2026 is over. I've been working hard on this degree and it's a long time coming. I apologize for the late King of Games entry, but I've been so busy with school and ordering my graduation regalia. Now onto the decklist discussion!

Yeah, this is just standard Altergeist with the Sanctuary of the King's Treasures Skill. Nothing has changed on this deck. I do want to mention that I went undefeated to King of Games with this deck, going 7/0 from Legend 4 straight into King of Games. For the tech cards, I changed some stuff around. You will notice I added in Magic Deflector and Non-Fusion Area. Both of those cards are to answer Branded Despia, a deck that's basically tier zero right now. Going second against Branded is, well, difficult. The deck has better grind game than you do and it's hard to play through their interruptions and Tax Dragon. Red-Eyes is also unwinnable going second. Altergeist isn't playing through Dragoon negate and multiple Lord of the Red pops, unfortunately.

So yeah, there's not much else to discuss about the deck that you haven't seen before. TY-PHON did come up sometimes though. The combo of Sphere Mode into Hexstia into TY-PHON to return the Sphere Mode can close out duels. TY-PHON solves the issue of finding lethal through the Sphere Mode you gave your opponent, which is nice. You don't need TY-PHON if you don't have it.

And that's the deck! Konami, can you guys please give Altergeists more support already? I would love to get the leaked Adminia and Malwisp in addition to Protocol and a Ghost Gal Skill. If those come, I'll have a YouTube video on them asap so drop sub if you don't want to miss it. I also want to give a huge shoutout to BlairVVitchProject, Timaeus222, and Coolsy101 for their kind words to me and being there if I ever needed someone to talk to. You guys are the best! I couldn't have asked for better people in my life. THANK YOU!!!

I am also accepting early birthday wishes since my birthday's coming up soon on April 5th.

My past five games were consisted of Resonator, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Red-Eyes Armament, Starlight Drive, and the King of Games duel Invoked Thunder Dragons (Yami Yugi).

Replays

For replays, the King of Games Duel was unsatisfying because the Yami Yugi went first, summoned Aleister, used Destiny Draw Leading to Dragon Master Knight and then scooped. I will share the replay vs the Starlight Drive player to showcase the turn zero Multifaker combo. Enjoy the video while we wait for more Altergeist support and a Skill for my waifu Ghost Gal to call her own. I want to play Altergeists on Ghost Gal!
