"'''Gusto'''", known as "'''Gusta'''" (ガスタ ''Gasuta'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', are a [[WIND]]-based [[Duel Terminal]] [[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 circleit. Their [[Synchro Monster]]s, the "[[Daigusto]]", seem seems to be the combined [[Level]]s form of the two monsters that appear in the artworks(evidenced by their Level sum). They also have two [[Xyz Monster]]s, "[[Daigusto Phoenix]]" and "[[Daigusto Emeral]]".
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. Both "[[Pilica, Descendant of Gusto]]" and "[[Windaar, Sage of Gusto]]" also have an effect that Special Summon "Gusto" monsters from the Graveyard, providing more field presence.

Finally, having too many "Gusto" recruiters in your hand (at least three or more, or two with the same name, particularly either "[[Winda, Priestess of Gusto]]" and/or "[[Gusto Egul]]") also can reduce their effectiveness, since they can only search for one another from the Deck.
Despite the numerous weaknesses of the deck, there are ways you can get around these threats. Spell/Trap removal cards like "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", "[[Dust Tornado]]", "[[Fairy Wind]]", "[[Malevolent Catastrophe]]", etc can be used to destroy threats like "[[Macro Cosmos]]", "[[Dimensional Fissure]]", "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]", "[[Poisonous Winds]]", "[[Necrovalley]]", etc. Monster effect negation cards like "[[Breakthrough Skill]]", "[[Fiendish Chain]]", "[[Effect Veiler]]", "[[Divine Wrath]]", "[[Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare]]", "[[Skill Prisoner]]" and even "[[Skill Drain]]" can stop powerful monster effects that will hurt you like "[[Archlord Kristya]]", "[[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo]]", "[[Abyss Dweller]]", "[[Armades, Keeper of Boundaries]]", "[[Number 11: Big Eye]]", "[[Evolzar Dolkka]]", "[[King Tiger Wanghu]]", "[[Artifact Moralltach]]", etc. "[[Debunk]]" can counter cards like "[[Fire King High Avatar Garunix]]", "[[Maxx "C"]]", "[[Effect Veiler]]" etc, also you can use "[[Solemn Warning]]", "[[Black Horn of Heaven]]", "[[Horn of Heaven]]", and even "[[Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare]]" to counter any Special Summon-able monsters that has dangerous effect like "[[Madolche Queen Tiaramisu]]", "[[Black Rose Dragon]]", "[[Evilswarm Exciton Knight]]", "[[Number 101: Silent Honor ARK]]", "[[Baxia, Brightness of the Yang Zing]]", etc.
== Trivia ==
** This is probably referencing to the partnership between "[[Mist Valley]]" and "[[Dragunity]]" during the first generation wars of Duel Terminal world.
* All Gusto non-Synchro Psychic-Type monster seems to be having have a pairing system between its male and female members, which determined by their [[Level]]s. They also have exactly 6 members, which is most likely made of 3 pairs. If sorted from the highest to the lowest, it may resemble a family tree of some sort. According to that, one can be assume that "[[Windaar, Sage of Gusto]]" is their leader.** With the introduction of "[[Pilica, Descendant of Gusto]] in ''[[Primal Origin]]'', they currently have 7 members. Pilica " is the only one member that (currently) have no male counterpart.
** According to the Master Guide 4<ref>[http://www.ygorganization.com/monsterstories/ www.ygorganization.com] Master Guide 4 - Monster Stories</ref>, "Pilica" was born after the conclusion of the war against "[[Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth]]", in which "Sophia" was defeated by "[[Evilswarm Kerykeion]]" and "[[Constellar Sombre]]". It is also said that "Pilica" is the descendant from "[[Reeze, Whirlwind of Gusto]]" and "[[Kamui, Hope of Gusto]]", implying that those two are the only ones surviving from the Gusto tribe after the war's conclusion.
** The staff that "Pilica" is holding is the very same as the ones owned by "Kamui", with the wooden statue of "[[Gusto Falco]]" on top (possibly as a memento of its sacrifice during the war).
* The [[Spirit Beast]] archetype is originated from Gusto archetype.
** This is evidenced by their leader, "[[Elder of the Spirit Beast Tamers]]" is actually an elderly version of "[[Kamui, Hope of Gusto]]".
** Their [[Fusion Monster]]s also have the "[[Spirit Beast Tamer|rider]] and [[Noble Spirit Beast|mount]]" relationship in the same manner as the [[Daigusto]]s.
** The [[Spirit Beast Tamer]]s are also [[WIND]] [[Psychic]]-type as well.
* If you look closely to Gusto Psychic-type monsters' eyes (best examples are "[[Winda, Priestess of Gusto]]" and "[[Reeze, Whirlwind of Gusto]]"), you can see that they have cross-like marking in their pupils (slightly resembling Uchiha Itachi's ''Mangekyou Sharingan'' from ''Naruto'' series). However, some of Gusto monsters like "[[Kamui, Hope of Gusto]]" doesn't share this characteristic and it is currently unknown if the other Gusto members actually share this characteristic as well.
