They are a Deck with both [[swarm]]ing and speed capabilities. When ''[[Crimson Crisis]]'' was released, this archetype was very unsupported, with only five "Blackwing" cards being released: "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind|Gale the Whirlwind]]", "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn|Sirocco the Dawn]]", "[[Blackwing - Bora the Spear|Bora the Spear]]", "[[Blackwing Armor Master|Armor Master]]" and "[[Raptor Wing Strike]]". Later on, with the release of ''[[Raging Battle]]'' and ''[[Ancient Prophecy]]'', Blackwings grew into a high swarming and powerful Deck. The speed it gives with its swarming, along with its additional [[Synchro Summon]]ing capabilities, landed this Deck a place on the [[Shonen Jump]] Circuit, along with being known as one of the many Meta Decks. The Deck proceeded to win the 2009 World Championships and remained popular the following year. New "Blackwing" monsters and support were released in ''[[The Shining Darkness]]'' and ''[[Starstrike Blast]]'', giving them alternative strategies.
+
The "Blackwing" archetype is focused on [[swarm]]ing monsters for [[Synchro Summon]]ing, with a number of secondary focuses including [[hand trap]]-like effects, [[counter]] usage, ATK modulation, interactions with "[[Black-Winged Dragon]]", inflicting burn damage in multiples of 700, and non-standard methods of Special Summoning [[Synchro Monster]]s (e.g. the "GY Synchro" effect of "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor|Vayu]]", which historically formed a deck known as "Vayu Turbo" or "Vayusworn" when paired up with self-milling cards like "[[Card Trooper]]" or "[[Lightsworn]]" monsters to [[List of unofficial terms#Turbo|turbo]] out its effect). Historical "Blackwing" Decks were played as control Decks focusing on using the archetype's excellent Normal Summons, backed up with the potential for swarming and combo plays. Later "Blackwing" Decks evolved into swarming-based combo Decks revolving around the searching power of "[[Black Whirlwind]]".
−
 
+
"Blackwing" has a strong emphasis on [[swarm]]ing monsters from the hand. Most monsters have the ability to [[Special Summon]] themselves from the [[hand]]; others carry special effects that utilize the [[Graveyard]] and hand to advance the gamestate.
−
As of ''[[Premium Gold: Return of the Bling]]'', the deck's swarming capabilities and consistency have been greatly improved. With the release of ''Dimension of Chaos ''and ''The Dark Illusion'', new "Blackwing" monsters, called "Assault Blackwings", have been introduced that gain the ability to be Tuner monsters allowing for more access to Synchro Summoning thanks to "[[Assault Blackwing - Onimaru the Divine Thunder]]" having level manipulation once Summoned. The deck functions with high amounts of speed, searching, and good hand trap situations as leaving a "[[Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow]]" in hand can be used both offensively and defensively.
+
Since all of the "Blackwing" monsters rely on the hand for swarming, "[[Black Whirlwind]]" allows them to replenish their resources while giving them the ability to toolbox into certain combo pieces. And when enough "Blackwing" cards have swarmed the [[field]], support cards like "[[Delta Crow - Anti Reverse]]" and "[[Black Sonic]]" are granted additional effects that allow them to be activated from the hand.
−
 
+
As a primarily [[DARK]] and [[Winged Beast]] Deck, the Deck benefits from their related Typing and Attribute support. Because most "Blackwing" cards do not impose any significant summoning restrictions, the Deck can use its swarming potential to pivot into a variety of non-"Blackwing" combos. In particular, "[[Raidraptor - Wise Strix]]" opens up a wide variety of combos involving Xyz Monsters, "[[Rank-Up-Magic]]", and even "[[The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche]]", all the while operating under the DARK Extra Deck lock of combo starter "[[Blackwing - Simoon the Poison Wind|Simoon the Poison Wind]]".
−
"Blackwings" have a strong emphasis on [[swarm]]ing and utilizing hand traps. Most have the ability to Special Summon themselves from the hand; others carry special effects that utilize the Graveyard and Hand to advance the gamestate. Because of these swarming capabilities, they give many opportunities to [[Synchro Summon]] and [[Xyz Summon]]. Their overall gameplan allows for quick OTKs all the while setting up multiple layers of contingency plans and proofing for additional OTKs in future turns.

−
 
 
−
Because the majority of the "Blackwing" monsters are [[DARK]] and [[Winged Beast]]s, they can utilize "[[Icarus Attack]]", "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]", "Dark Illusion", "Cattle Call", "Crush Card Virus", "Deck Devastation Virus", and "Eradicator Epidemic Virus" for card destruction. They even have access to draw power such as "[[Allure of Darkness]]", "[[Pot of Duality]]", "[[Cards for Black Feathers]]", "[[Pot of Desires]]" (albeit risky) and searching power such "[[Raidraptor - Force Strix]]", "[[Creeping Darkness]]", "[[Swallow's Nest]]", "[[Transmodify]]", and "[[Downbeat]]".
 
−
 
 
−
The Deck has numerous mind games, forcing opponents to make less than sub-optimal plays to play around certain cards like "[[Icarus Attack]]", "[[Black Sonic]]", "[[Delta Crow - Anti Reverse|Delta Crow]]" and "[[Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow]]". The player can create an illusion by simply setting a card in the Spell & Trap Card Zone or keeping a few cards in hand with a "Blackwing" monster on the field. Aggressive Decks are forced to slow down to stay out of range of these options that can cripple them or possibly cost the game.
 
−
 
 
−
With great self sustaining synergy, powerful support cards, toolbox capabilities and the ability to shift between aggressive to passive playstyles; "Blackwings" are one of the easiest archetypes to play and an overall solid archetype.

===Decks===
 
−
Blackwings are a powerful archetype, able to quickly swarm the field, Synchro Summon, and potentially OTK every turn. Their specialty is their quick Special Summoning, allowing you to Summon multiple monsters in a single turn, then use effects of monsters such as "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn]]" or "[[Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow]]" to build on one another and quickly wreak massive destruction.

===Vayu Turbo===
 
−
This Deck is based on getting "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" and high-Level "Blackwing" monsters into the Graveyard. Vayu's effect allows the [[Special Summon]] of "Blackwing" [[Synchro]]s from the Extra deck by using "Blackwing" monsters in the graveyard to fulfill the level requirements; the effects of these monsters are negated. Because this is not a traditional Synchro Summon, the Synchro monsters are not revivable if they are to hit the graveyard.
 
−
 
 
−
The strategy then devolves into spamming high-ATK [[Synchro|Synchro Monsters]] followed by swarming the field with other "Blackwing" monsters. Recycling with "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]" to perform another [[Special Summon]] is a recommended tactic. This also allows you to return "[[Necro Gardna]]" and anything else you might remove with "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]" or "[[Allure of Darkness]]" to your [[Graveyard]]. To go along with "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]", you can add "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]" to Summon the same cards to your side of the field and attempt an [[OTK]]. Cards that send other cards from your Deck to your Graveyard, such as "[[Card Trooper]]" (or, to a lesser extent, "[[Veil of Darkness]]"), are suggested. Another possible strategy is to Special Summon "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" through the effect of "[[Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame]]", negating the Synchro Summoning restriction of "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]", and Synchro Summon "[[Ally of Justice Catastor]]".

"[[Crush Card Virus]]" is a viable tool for ditching "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" to the Graveyard while destroying the opponent's monsters. "[[Deck Devastation Virus]]" and/or "[[Eradicator Epidemic Virus]]" work for ditching a high-Level "Blackwing" monster to the Graveyard and destroying low-ATK monsters. This strategy works very will with this type of Deck, since you will be able to rapidly swarm the field with high-ATK DARK-Attribute Monsters, since the key cards of this Deck ("[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]", high Level "Blackwings") make perfect targets for the "[[Crush Card Virus]]". When they are in the Graveyard, you can Summon even more monsters while leaving your opponent with nothing. Furthermore, you will be looking at your opponent's hand, allowing you to predict their actions.

−
Another great card for this Deck is "[[Skill Drain]]" which can negate the effect of "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" while it is on the field (so it can be used as a Synchro Material monster on the field) while still allowing it to Special Summon Synchro Monsters by removing it from the Graveyard ("Skill Drain" does not negate effects in the Graveyard). As an added bonus, the effect-negating drawback on the Synchro Monster will be meaningless, since "Skill Drain" does the same to each other monster.

===Vayusworn===
 
−
'''Vayusworn''' is a Deck type centered on using "[[Lightsworn]]" monsters with "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" and "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn]]" or "[[Blackwing - Elphin the Raven]]".
 
−
 
−
Players often choose "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn|Sirocco the Dawn]]" over "[[Blackwing - Elphin the Raven|Elphin the Raven]]" for one of two reasons; "Sirocco the Dawn" is capable of being Summoned to the field like "[[Cyber Dragon]]". It can also be used against the common "Blackwing" deck, by stealing other "Blackwing" monsters [[ATK]] from the opponent and attacking their "Blackwing" monsters for 2000 or more damage depending on the amount of ATK the "Blackwing" monsters on the field that "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn]]" absorbs. "[[Lightsworn]]" Decks got hurt by the [[March 2010 Lists]]. However, the [[September 2011 Lists]] increased this deck's power, with [[Necro Gardna]] going back to 2 and [[Judgment Dragon]] going back to 3. In addition the deck got even more power due to the "[[March 2012 Lists]]", with "[[Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner]]" being put back to 2.

===Weaknesses===
−
Unfortunately, the majority of the archetype lacks raw power and relies on having both the strong and weak monsters to combo properly. Their dependency on Black Whirlwind to maintain resources can be easily worked around with attack debuffs such as "[[Burden of the Mighty]]" or "[[Solidarity]]".
+
* Aside from "[[Blackwing Full Armor Master]]", the archetype has a general lack of in-archetype boss monsters or easily searchable disruptions with field holding powers, and so often has to rely on the Xyz boss monsters and searchable disruptions provided by "[[Raidraptor - Wise Strix|Wise Strix]]" and "[[The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche|Rusty Bardiche]]" combos.
−
 
+
* The search effect from "[[Black Whirlwind]]" is affected by effects that reduce ATK, such as "[[Burden of the Mighty]]" or "[[Solidarity]]", and the Deck's combos can be potentially disrupted by such effects.
−
Blackwing's ultimate strength is their swarming capacity, but the swarm require at least 1 "Blackwing" to present first. Immediately Negate that summon or Destroy it after the summon will potentially shutdown the deck for 1 turn.
+
* Most "Blackwing" [[swarm]]ing effects require at least 1 "Blackwing" on the field as a precondition, so destroying the first summon of a "Blackwing" monster can potentially stop the Deck's combos.
−
 
+
* "Blackwing" cards provide limited recovery options, making it difficult for the Deck to comeback should it be hit with an equalizer like "[[Torrential Tribute]]".
−
They also have some problems maintaining hand and field advantage due to the overwhelming speed with which "Blackwings" are Summoned, a player can (and often will) find his/her hand depleting quickly, thus lacking resources in case his/her plans goes wrong, (such as in the case the opponent counters a massive Swarming with a destruction card like "[[Torrential Tribute]]", "[[Dark Hole]]", "Raigeki", "Bottomless Trap Hole" or "Solemn Warning").
+
* Due to the importance of searching for the Deck's combos, anti-search cards like "[[Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring]]", "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]", and "[[Droll & Lock Bird]]" can cripple the Deck's combos.
−
 
+
* As a swarming-based Deck, the Deck is weak to "[[Nibiru, the Primal Being]]".
−
[[Balance of Judgment]] can help to draw more cards just in case this happens, giving you more chances to plan a new attack
+
* As a DARK Deck, the Deck is countered by anti-DARK cards like "[[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]]".
−
 
+
* Since the Deck has some need for the GY to make plays, anti-GY cards like "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" can significantly disrupt the Deck's combos.
−
"Blackwings" are good in that they are not very weak to any common Side Deck cards. Because they are all DARK (save the rarely used "Aurora") and all Winged-Beast (save for "Obsidian Hawk Joe"), cards such as "[[Rivalry of Warlords]]" and "[[Gozen Match]]" do not hurt them.
 
−
 
 
−
Cards such as "[[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]]" may hurt the player as you will not be able to use your effects, and "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" will render "[[Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame]]", "[[Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow]]", "[[Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North]]" and "[[Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite]]"'s effects useless. However, all of these threats are easily solved with "[[Icarus Attack]]" or "[[Diamond Dire Wolf]]", as all of the monsters are Winged-Beasts. "[[Royal Decree]]" may pose a problem as it will render "[[Icarus Attack]]" useless, but it's also easily dealt with using "[[Diamond Dire Wolf]]" or the common "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]".
 
−
 
 
−
"[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]" will stop Black Whirlwind searching, and can negate a Synchro Summon.
 
−
 
 
−
Siding in "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn]]" is also surprisingly effective against "Blackwings", since "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn" can use the opponent's "Blackwings" for his effect. Although unlikely.

"Blackwing", known as "Black Feather" (ＢＦ（ブラックフェザー） Burakku Fezā) in the Japanese version, is an archetype of monsters, debuting in Crimson Crisis, used by both Crow Hogan and Robert Pearson, with the former inheriting the Deck from the latter, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime. They were also used in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime by Crow's alternate universe counterpart. All members of this archetype are DARK Winged Beast monsters, except for the LIGHT "Blackwing - Aurora the Northern Lights" and the Warrior "Blackwing Tamer - Obsidian Hawk Joe".

Design[edit]

Linework

Most "Blackwing" monsters generally have a very bird-like appearance, with most Level 3 and lower members appearing as small birds while the Level 4 and higher monsters appearing to be either humanoids in bird-like outfits or humanoid birds. They also have a prominent black color-scheme in their design, usually on their wing feathering.

Playing style[edit]

The "Blackwing" archetype is focused on swarming monsters for Synchro Summoning, with a number of secondary focuses including hand trap-like effects, counter usage, ATK modulation, interactions with "Black-Winged Dragon", inflicting burn damage in multiples of 700, and non-standard methods of Special Summoning Synchro Monsters (e.g. the "GY Synchro" effect of "Vayu", which historically formed a deck known as "Vayu Turbo" or "Vayusworn" when paired up with self-milling cards like "Card Trooper" or "Lightsworn" monsters to turbo out its effect). Historical "Blackwing" Decks were played as control Decks focusing on using the archetype's excellent Normal Summons, backed up with the potential for swarming and combo plays. Later "Blackwing" Decks evolved into swarming-based combo Decks revolving around the searching power of "Black Whirlwind". "Blackwing" has a strong emphasis on swarming monsters from the hand. Most monsters have the ability to Special Summon themselves from the hand; others carry special effects that utilize the Graveyard and hand to advance the gamestate. Since all of the "Blackwing" monsters rely on the hand for swarming, "Black Whirlwind" allows them to replenish their resources while giving them the ability to toolbox into certain combo pieces. And when enough "Blackwing" cards have swarmed the field, support cards like "Delta Crow - Anti Reverse" and "Black Sonic" are granted additional effects that allow them to be activated from the hand. As a primarily DARK and Winged Beast Deck, the Deck benefits from their related Typing and Attribute support. Because most "Blackwing" cards do not impose any significant summoning restrictions, the Deck can use its swarming potential to pivot into a variety of non-"Blackwing" combos. In particular, "Raidraptor - Wise Strix" opens up a wide variety of combos involving Xyz Monsters, "Rank-Up-Magic", and even "The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche", all the while operating under the DARK Extra Deck lock of combo starter "Simoon the Poison Wind".

DARK + Blackwing" Deck Recipe

Weaknesses[edit]

  • Aside from "Blackwing Full Armor Master", the archetype has a general lack of in-archetype boss monsters or easily searchable disruptions with field holding powers, and so often has to rely on the Xyz boss monsters and searchable disruptions provided by "Wise Strix" and "Rusty Bardiche" combos.
  • The search effect from "Black Whirlwind" is affected by effects that reduce ATK, such as "Burden of the Mighty" or "Solidarity", and the Deck's combos can be potentially disrupted by such effects.
  • Most "Blackwing" swarming effects require at least 1 "Blackwing" on the field as a precondition, so destroying the first summon of a "Blackwing" monster can potentially stop the Deck's combos.
  • "Blackwing" cards provide limited recovery options, making it difficult for the Deck to comeback should it be hit with an equalizer like "Torrential Tribute".
  • Due to the importance of searching for the Deck's combos, anti-search cards like "Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring", "Thunder King Rai-Oh", and "Droll & Lock Bird" can cripple the Deck's combos.
  • As a swarming-based Deck, the Deck is weak to "Nibiru, the Primal Being".
  • As a DARK Deck, the Deck is countered by anti-DARK cards like "Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror".
  • Since the Deck has some need for the GY to make plays, anti-GY cards like "Dimensional Fissure" can significantly disrupt the Deck's combos.
