Kite plays a "Photon" Deck[1], focused on swarming the field with LIGHT-Attribute monsters, which he can then use to Summon his "Number" monsters and/or his ace card, "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon". According to Mr. Heartland, Kite's Deck was created by him and Dr. Faker by using science from another dimension.[2]

In addition, he utilizes the "Galaxy" archetype to further assist in Summoning his newfound power.
