Butterfly Dagger - Elma OTK

From Yugipedia
Jump to: navigation, search

This deck is considered a Classic Deck. This page is used to tell the history of a deck rather than how it is played now. This can happen either from mechanics of the game changing, changes from the "TCG" or "OCG" Forbidden/Limited List, or the deck has slowly lost its ability to be played over time due to years of no support or neglect.

There are a number of variations of the OTK, but generally all revolves around these two cards:

The other half of the cards depend on the victory condition a player is going for. There are three main OTK's which can all be incorporated into a single deck: "Exodia" (special win), "Fire Princess" or "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End" (burn), and "Magical Marionette" (beatdown):

Exodia Variant[edit]

Get "Gearfried the Iron Knight" and "Royal Magical Library" face-up on the field, then equip "Gearfried" with "Butterfly Dagger - Elma". "Royal Magical Library" gains a spell counter and "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" is sent to the Graveyard due to "Gearfried's" effect, which is then immediately returned to your hand. You repeat this process while drawing a card for every 3 times you do this thanks to "Royal Magical Library's" effect. If your opponent has no out to this available, you can technically draw your entire deck, along with "Exodia" and win the duel. By playing cards like "Double Summon" or, by the same token, any other option of summoning two monster in one turn, you can do this combo during the first turn of the duel, turning it into a FTK. This combo can also be combined with the "Chaos Emperor Dragon" OTK variant for added win options.

Fire Princess Variant[edit]

This OTK requires four cards to give you a lot of Life Points, while "Fire Princess" inflicts damage.

First activate "Spell Absorption". Then proceed to summon both "Gearfried the Iron Knight" and "Fire Princess" by whatever method you can. Finally, activate "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" and gain 500 Life Points via "Spell Absorption". Equip it to "Gearfried", whose ability will destroy "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" and send it to the Graveyard. Next, "Butterfly Dagger - Elma's" effect activates, returning it to your hand from your Graveyard. Repeat those steps to receive lots of Life Points and therefore giving ammunition to the "Fire Princess" to destroy your opponent with. If you repeat this process 16 times in succession, you will burn the opponent for 8000 LP and therefore win the duel. The combo also works with "Morale Boost", which will leave you at 8000 LP overall but still applies the effect of "Fire Princess". Just as the Exodie variant, this will work as an FTK if all cards are assembled in the first turn.

Magical Marionette Variant[edit]

This OTK is not as reliable as other well known combinations, as it leaves room for the opponent to use cards and build a board beforehand. The cards needed are as follows:

The object is to get "Gearfried the Iron Knight" and "Magical Marionette" on the field successfully. Once this is done, continually equip "Gearfried the Iron Knight" with the "Butterfly Dagger - Elma". While you are doing this, "Magical Marionette" is potentially gaining an infinite amount of Spell Counters due to its effect. Since its ATK increases by 200 points for each Spell Counter, the limit of his attack effectively becomes infinite as well. As an added bonus, if you remove two Spell Counters from "Magical Marionette", you may destroy 1 monster on the field. This allows you to clear as many monsters as you need from your opponent's side of the field, and still have well over enough ATK to finish your opponent in one, brutal move.

Anti-Cure Variant[edit]

The same strategy as before applies here. Play "Gearfried the Iron Knight", equip him with "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" continuously, the Equip card will be destroyed, return to the hand, and you can give the enitre thing another spin. To this you add "Arcana Force I - The Magician" to recover the opponent's LPs and either "Darklord Nurse Reficule" or "Bad Reaction to Simochi" to turn the heal into burn damage. This variant is also potentially a FTK, but needs insane amounts of setup and luck to work that way, and regardless of that "Arcana Force I - The Magician" might come up with heads as the result of the coind flip and kill the entire strategy immediately.

Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End Variant[edit]

Similar to the Exodia OTK, you need to have "Gearfried the Iron Knight" and "Royal Magical Library" face-up on the field. Equip "Gearfried" with "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" and place 1 Spell Counter on "Royal Magical Library". "Gearfried" then destroys "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" and sends it to the Graveyard, then "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" returns to your hand. Repeat this two more times. Now "Royal Magical Library" has 3 Spell Counters on it. Remove them to draw a card. Repeat this process multiple times and draw many cards from your Deck.

From this point there are 2 alternatives: If you drew in "Graceful Charity", draw cards until your Deck has 3 cards left. Play "Graceful Charity", draw 3 cards, then discard 1 LIGHT monster and 1 DARK monster. Banish the 2 monsters from your Graveyard and Special Summon "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End". Activate its effect and "burn" your opponent. If you didn't draw "Graceful Charity" but you drew into "Darkness Approaches", draw all the cards in your Deck. Activate "Darkness Approaches", and discard 1 LIGHT monster and 1 DARK monster and flip a monster face-down. If your opponent has no monsters on their field, flip "Royal Magical Library" face-down. Banish the 2 monsters from your Graveyard and Special Summon "Chaos Emperor Dragon". Activate its effect and "burn" your opponent. If you got the first turn this combo can easily deal a huge amount of damage since you will send both your opponent's hand for 5 cards to the graveyard (netting 1500 damage) plus your own hand, which at that point is basically your deck, whilst you only need to ditch 22 cards from your hand to make this combo lethal.

Tempest Magician Variant[edit]

This combo focuses around Spell Counters for "Tempest Magician".

Special Summon "Oracle of the Sun" and use "One for One" to Special Summon Level 1 Tuner Monster or "Double Summon" both "Gearfried the Iron Knight" and the Level 1 Tuner Monster. Tune both the Level 5 and Level 1 monsters to Synchro Summon "Tempest Magician". Activate "Magical Citadel of Endymion" (if you don't have "Magical Citadel of Endymion" use "Terraforming" to search for "Magical Citadel of Endymion") to gain Spell Counters from the "Gearfried"/"Dagger" combo until you have 16 counters on it, then remove them for "Tempest Magician's" effect to get rid of your opponent's Life Points.
