− | + | "'''Gusto'''", known as "'''Gusta'''" (ガスタ ''Gasuta'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', are an [[archetype]] released in ''[[Duel Terminal - Raid of the Inverz!!]]''. Their name is based on the word "Gust" and their team symbol is a circle with a silver whirlwind inside the circle. Their [[Synchro Monster]]s, the "[[Daigusto]]", seem to be the combined [[Level]]s of the two monsters that appear in the artworks. They also have two [[Xyz Monster]]s, "[[Daigusto Phoenix]]" and "[[Daigusto Emeral]]". | |
− | + | ||
− | + | All known "Gusto" monsters are [[WIND]] so they can use WIND support cards such as "[[Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi]]", and can be [[Special Summon]]ed by "[[Flying Kamakiri 1|Flying Kamakiri #1]]". The archetype consists of [[Winged Beast]], [[Psychic]], [[Thunder]], even [[Daigusto Emeral|Rock]] and [[Daigusto Phoenix|Pyro]]-type monsters. Only Winged Beast-Type "Gusto" monsters (except "[[Gusto Codor]]", "[[Gusto Griffin]]", and "[[Gusto Squirro]]") are [[Tuner monster]]s and all of the [[Synchro Monster]]s and [[Xyz Monster]]s have "Daigusto" in their names. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | The archetype's main strategy is almost entirely based on tightening their defense and loading the Graveyard, since most support for the Gusto archetype requires 2 or more Gusto monsters to be shuffled into the Deck. The Deck relies on heavy defensive tactics, beginning with its trio of searchers which form what Duelists refer to as "the recruiter loop": "[[Winda, Priestess of Gusto]]", "[[Gusto Gulldo]]" and "[[Gusto Egul]]." These three cards can continuously search one another out of the Deck when destroyed in battle while simultaneously filling the Graveyard for other Gusto monster effects. For example, "[[Caam, Serenity of Gusto]]" can shuffle 2 Gusto monsters back into the Main Deck in order to draw a card, and "[[Musto, Oracle of Gusto]]" can shuffle 1 Gusto monster into the Deck and negate various monster effects. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | "[[Reeze, Whirlwind of Gusto]]" allows you to forcibly exchange 1 Gusto monster you control for one monster your opponent controls of your choice by sending a card from your hand to the bottom of the deck. Use one of the Gusto searchers mentioned above (except [[Winda, Priestess of Gusto|"Winda"]] due to its wording), in order to boost your [[Field Advantage]] and reduce your opponent's. Besides Reeze, cards like "[[Creature Swap]]" and "[[Mystic Box]]" can also be used for similar purpose. Many players regarding "[[Creature Swap]]" as the deck's true staple, since this deck's major plays usually revolving around this card. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | "[[Windaar, Sage of Gusto]]" is a monster with 2000 ATK that can Special Summon from the graveyard any level 3 or lower "Gusto" monster whenever it destroys a monster in battle. Unfortunately, it is Level 6, making it somewhat problematic to Summon. You can use "[[Gusto Codor]]" and "[[Gusto Thunbolt]]" to soften the cost of both Windaar's and Reeze's Summon, and set up plays in conjunction with Reeze. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | "[[Gusto Griffin]]" is the most unique among all Gusto monsters; its effect doesn't trigger when it is destroyed by battle or card effects, instead it will triggered when it is discarded from your hand. In return, it can Summon any Gusto monster from your Deck (once per turn). While the normal Gusto decks have difficulties from using this card, there's a hybrid versions of this deck that can unleash the full potential of this card efficiently. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | Overall, Gusto Decks are naturally passive, having a resilient defensive strategy and great recycling/draw power. With the right build, however, they can surprise an unwary opponent with little effort (especially against aggressive-type Decks). | |

A tribe that lives with the wind and worships the bountiful land they’ve lived on since ancient times. Against their various outside enemies they link their hearts together with and battle along animals that live around in order to protect their land through the generations. However, the [[Steelswarm]]s started to take over the surface land. So, the Gustos united with the other clans to create a temporary union lead by [[Vylon]]s. They obtained [[Daigusto Sphreez|new powers]] to fight back the Steelswarms. Soon, the union finally defeated the invaders, but conflicts haven't lowered yet; the Vylons decided to stop the wars between clans — by exterminating them completely. Later, the Gusto [[Daigusto Phoenix|teamed up once again]] [[Evigishki Merrowgeist|with the other clans]] in order to cease the Vylon's actions. | A tribe that lives with the wind and worships the bountiful land they’ve lived on since ancient times.

− | + | The root of all Gusto decks, this deck focusing on blocking enemy's onslaught using numerous Gusto recruiters while also filling up their Graveyard in order to take advantage of "[[Caam, Serenity of Gusto]]", "[[Contact with Gusto]]" and "[[Daigusto Gulldos]]". Switching monster controls (via "[[Reeze, Whirlwind of Gusto]]" and/or "[[Creature Swap]]") is a common tactic in this deck, since most Gusto monsters have below-average ATK, and many of them have effects that Special Summon another when destroyed in battle. "[[Daigusto Sphreez]]" is the ace of this deck, and when combined with low-ATK trait of most Gusto monsters, can inflict massive damage to opponent (sometimes even leading into OTK). | |

+ | |||
+ | This build centered on using Gusto monsters in conjunction with [[Mist Valley]] archetype cards such as "[[Mist Valley Falcon]]", "[[Genex Ally Birdman]]", "[[Harpie Dancer]]" and/or "[[Divine Wind of Mist Valley]]". While the Gusto monsters set up the primary defense and Deck-thinning, afterwards you can return the Gusto monster that survived the previous turn via "[[Genex Ally Birdman]]" or "[[Harpie Dancer]]", while also activating the effect of "[[Divine Wind of Mist Valley]]" to Special Summon more monsters for a Synchro Summon. Two top-choice monsters to Synchro Summon are "[[Arcanite Magician]]" (who can provide destructive ability) and "[[Mist Valley Thunder Lord]]" (the strongest monster in the Deck). "[[Caam, Serenity of Gusto]]" is utilized for adding draw power, and also grant access to most [[Daigusto]] monsters. By including "[[Gusto Codor]]" in this type of build, [[Daigusto Sphreez|Sphreez]] OTK strategies will also available. | ||
+ | |||
+ | With the limitation of "[[Genex Ally Birdman]]" in [[September 2013 Lists]], this deck suffers a major decrease in consistency. This is even harsher by limitation of "[[Divine Wind of Mist Valley]]" in January 2014 list. | ||

+ | == Stun Gusto== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Basically, it is an Anti-Meta Deck that has similar concepts as [[T.G.]] Anti-Meta Deck, but utilizing Gusto monsters instead. Gusto monsters maintain primary defense, while also using beatdown monsters such as "[[Beast King Barbaros]]", "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]", and/or "[[Malefic Cyber End Dragon]]", combined with "[[Skill Drain]]" and "[[Shrine of Mist Valley]]" for putting your opponent's strategy under pressure and at the same time covering virtually any weaknesses in your Gusto defense. "[[Caam, Serenity of Gusto]]" ensures that your defense line will always live, even under [[Skill Drain]]'s and [[Necrovalley]]'s influences (due to Caam's shuffling-to-Deck effect is a Cost which unaffected by those cards, except you will not get the draw effect in the former's case). Despite its Stun-esque strategy, "[[King Tiger Wanghu]]" is not recommended for use, since its effect will automatically destroy any Summoned Gusto recruiters, rendering this Deck's main strategy pointless (unless "[[Skill Drain]]" or "[[By Order of the Emperor]]" is active). | ||

− | As previously touched upon, "Gusto" | + | A recently invented hybrid between Gusto and [[Dragon Ruler]]s, this variant utilizes "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms]]" and "[[Lightning, Dragon Ruler of Drafts]]" coupled with "[[Gusto Griffin]]" to make massive explosive plays, while still retaining the Gusto's natural defensive ability. This deck, compared to other Gusto hybrid decks, have so many available combo plays that can potentially swarming the field even without using Normal Summon, mostly via "[[Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg]]" and "[[Lightning, Dragon Ruler of Drafts]]" to discard "[[Gusto Griffin]]" and bring any Gusto monster necessary into play. In the latter's case, it will also bring "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms]]" straight from the Deck, ready for Synchro Summoning in conjunction with "[[Gusto Egul]]". |

− | + | "[[Debris Dragon]]" also included for Synchro Summoning "[[Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg]]" with "[[Shield Wing]]", Rank 4 Xyz Summon with "[[Caam, Serenity of Gusto]]" (usually to bring out "[[Lightning Chidori]]"), or just Summoning Gusto monster for "[[Creature Swap]]" plays. It can also used with "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms]]" for unleashing "[[Star Eater]]", released in ''[[Judgment of the Light]]'', as the strongest monster this deck can actually Summon. | |
− | + | ||
+ | However, this deck also not without its downsides, though. Since most of the major plays come from "[[Gusto Griffin]]", this deck will mostly remain passive until you can draw "[[Gusto Griffin]]" and find a way to discard it (similar weakness to [[Dark World]] decks). To avoid this, it is recommended to quickly Summon "[[Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg]]" and protect it, since it is the only currently reliable way to search and trigger your "[[Gusto Griffin]]". | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unfortunately though, with "[[Lightning, Dragon Ruler of Drafts]]" being Forbidden in [[September 2013 Lists]] of both TCG and OCG version, this deck lost its major speed and reliable plays, making the deck drastically slower than usual. Despite the limitation, the deck can still playable by utilizing "[[Dragunity Knight - Gae Dearg]]" as the main focus for triggering "[[Gusto Griffin]]", while "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms]]" can be used for accessing "[[Debris Dragon]]" + "[[Shield Wing]]" combo to bringing out Gae Dearg. | ||

+ | ==Weaknesses== | ||
+ | As previously touched upon, a "Gusto" Deck's critical flaws are the below-average ATK of many of its monsters, making them somewhat unsuitable for attacks. Since this Deck's strategy relies heavily on the Graveyard, any form of banishment can damage or cripple the entire Deck. [[Macro]]-based Decks or anything that runs "[[Dimensional Fissure]]", "[[Transmigration Break]]", "[[D.D. Crow]]", or "[[Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer]]" can shut this Deck down completely. "[[Transmigration Break]]", combined with "[[Poisonous Winds]]" can effectively place this Deck in a deadlock, since most of Gusto support cards need a certain amount of Gusto monsters in the Graveyard to recycle them. "[[Gravekeeper's]]" Decks, which use "[[Necrovalley]]," making recycling attempts much harder, albeit some Gusto monster such as "[[Caam, Serenity of Gusto]]" and "[[Daigusto Gulldos]]" can somewhat bypass the "Necrovalley" card effect limitation. "[[Archlord Kristya]]", "[[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo]]", "[[Summon Limit]]", "[[Summon Breaker]]" and other anti-Special Summon cards can also shut down "Gusto" defenses down, due to their excessive needs of Special and Synchro Summoning. "[[Evolzar Dolkka]]" can negate all Gusto monster's effects that attempt to activate with ease (even during the Damage Step) to severely slow down all Gusto deck variants and "[[Evolzar Laggia]]" can stop all "[[Daigusto]]" monsters from being Synchro Summoned or Xyz Summoned. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "[[Gladiator Beast]]" Decks are arguably one of the worst possible match-up for "Gusto" Decks, since they gain advantage through battle, and have access to cards such as "[[Gladiator Beast Retiari]]", "[[Gladiator Beast Gyzarus]]", and "[[Gladiator Beast War Chariot]]". "[[Inzektor]]"s, "[[Lightsworn]]"s, and "[[Fire King]]" Decks can also be problematic, since their main strategy involve mass destruction via effects of "[[Inzektor Hornet]]", "[[Judgment Dragon]]", and "[[Fire King High Avatar Garunix]]", respectively, making almost all "Gusto" battle searchers unable to activate their effects (except for just a few like "[[Gusto Gulldo]]"). If facing "[[Lightsworn]]"-based Decks, be wary of "[[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]]", due to its "destroy-then-mill" effects that makes many "Gusto" recruiters forced to [[Missing the Timing|miss their timing]]. In addition, "[[Mermail Abyssgaios]]" can block all Daigusto Synchro Monster plays, including "[[Daigusto Sphreez]]" and its OTK combo. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Monsters with [[piercing]] effects such as "[[Blackwing Armed Wing]]", "[[Flamvell Uruquizas]]", "[[Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger]]" and "[[Hyper Psychic Blaster]]" can also be threatening to both your monsters and Life Points, due to most Gusto monster's low Defense stats. Even more troublesome are monsters with auto-defense-destruction/disruption effect such as "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]", "[[Ally of Justice Catastor]]", "[[Exploder Dragonwing]]", "[[Ehren, Lightsworn Monk]]", "[[Legendary Six Samurai - Enishi]]", "[[Evolzar Dolkka]]", "[[Armades, Keeper of Boundaries]]", "[[Evigishki Merrowgeist]]", and more recently, "[[Number 11: Big Eye]]", "[[Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack]]" and "[[Number 50: Blackship of Corn]]" because they can simply cut off the recruiter loop without much effort. "[[King Tiger Wanghu]]" (which can be found in most [[Anti-Meta]] Decks) can instantly destroy any Summoned Gusto recruiters as soon as they hit the field, making defensive attempts that much harder. "[[Deck Devastation Virus]]" can also do this job well, since most "Gusto"s monsters have below 1500 ATK. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "[[Abyss Dweller]]" and "[[Soul Drain]]" also pose a threat, as they can disable any in-Graveyard effects; including most of the searchers. To counter all of these threats, "[[Skill Drain]]", "[[Breakthrough Skill]]", "[[Fiendish Chain]]", and in case of "Soul Drain" and "[[Macro Cosmos]]", "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", "[[Dust Tornado]]", "[[Royal Decree]]" and even "[[Fairy Wind]]" can be used without disturbing your own "Gusto" monsters too much. "[[Skill Prisoner]]" can also be used against numerous targeting effects that attempts to cut off the recruiter loop. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Finally, having too many "Gusto" recruiters in your hand (at least three or more, or two with the same name) also can reduce their effectiveness, since they can only search for one another from the Deck. | ||
