All of them are the [[WyrmDuel Terminal]]storyline, which was a new Monster Type at the time and one of this archetype's debut; the variety of [[Attribute]]s is also emphasized. The deck was archetypes that comprise the first solely "[[Synchro Monster|SynchroZefra]]-based " archetype to be released since the debut . Some of their members are used by [[Xyz MonsterShoma Yusa]]s, with no Xyz support whatsoever. as part of his "[[Baxia, Brightness of the Yang Zing (Duel Arena)|Baxia, Brightness of the Yang ZingTenyi]]" appears as a character Deck in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Yang Zing" was likely an altered from form of "Yang Xing" , in order to avoid pronounciation pronunciation difficulties. In Chinese, "Yang Xing" may be interpreted as either 陽星 ''yáng xīng'', literally meaning "sun star", or 陽性 ''yáng xìng'', meaning "positive" or "masculine".The Japanese name 竜星 ''ryūsei'' uses kanji that literally translate to "dragon" and "star"; combined, it's a homonym of 流星 (''ryūsei'', "meteor"). It's also likely a reference to 竜生九子 ''Ryūsei Kyūshi'', the "Nine Offspring of the Dragon".==Design==Different scholars have different lists The "Yang Zing" monsters are based on the [[wikipedia:Nine sons of the dragon|nine sons of the "9 dragon]] in Chinese mythology. The nine sons of the dragon"are legendary creatures that are said to be the children of the [[wikipedia:Dragon King|Dragon King]], with forms that feature elements from both Chinese dragons and animals. In real life, they are common decorative motifs on traditional Chinese architecture and art objects. Two There are many different variations regarding the exact list of names and descriptions of the nine sons; the two most prominent lists are came from the Ming-dynasty works ''Sheng'an Waiji'' (升庵外集) by [[wikipedia:Yang Shen|Yang Shen]] and ''Huailu Tangji'' (怀麓堂集) by [[wikipedia:Li Dongyang|Li Dongyang]]."Yang Zing" monsters resemble oriental dragons with bestial traits, possessing a mane, tiger stripes, or mammalian paws. Additionally, each have a bead inside a triangle on their chest and 3 others on their horns. All of them are Wyrm, which was a new Type back at the time of their debut.{Each of the non-[[Pendulum Monster| class=Pendulum]] Main Deck members are color-coded according to their [[Attribute]], and there's a member for each Attribute but [[DIVINE]]. The Pendulum Monsters possess dark, nearly washed-out color, giving the impression of living statues. The Synchro Monsters have more elaborate designs, and (with the exception of "wikitable sortable[[Yazi, Evil of the Yang Zing|Yazi]]") are usually golden and brighter in appearance.! colspanThe given names of the "Yang Zing" monsters in Japanese are written in ''katakana''.

Its second effect mimics the Level , enabling a variety of a Wyrm monster, by sending it from the Deck to the Graveyard.

"Yang ZingNine Pillars" or not) is destroyedwould destroy "Denglong" to negate a card, but do keep in mind its Summoning restriction. This can be combined with the effects of triggering "BaxiaChiwen" to summon itself and "YaziDenglong" to fill summon the field with many "Yang Zings" in order to set up big Synchro Summons. level 3 "[[Bi'an, Earth of the Yang Zing Path]]": it shuffles 3 , who would then Synchro Summon on the opponent's turn to make "[[Herald of the Arc Light]]"."Yang ZingsZing" monsters from your Graveyard into the Deck Spell/Traps provide further swarming, disruption, and then gives 2 drawsrecursion. As the game goes on, a dedicated The Spell "[[Yang ZingPath|Path]]" deck can run out of recycles GY resourcesand provides draws, so this card is very important on keeping the strategy up. Continuous Trap "[[Nine Pillars of Yang ZingCreation|Creation]]" is supports field swarming by summoning a powerful Counter Trap Card that can negate anything albeit Spell/Trap "Yang Zing" from Deck when a monster is destroyed (in addition to normal "Yang Zing" float effects in the GY), and shuffles the negated card into the Deck, which can be useful to avoid Graveyard effects. At the resolution, it destroys a Counter Trap "[[Nine Pillars of Yang Zing|Nine Pillars]]" is an omni-negate searchable by "Denglong" and "Zefraniu" card, and if that card is destroys a monster, its effect can be triggered, unless "Nine PillarsYang Zing" was activated card at Chain Link 3 or higherresolution (triggering "Yang Zing" float effects).  The other support SpellsSome "Yang Zing" Spell/Traps card see very little play and don't really help with the acceleration of the deck's Synchro monsters. , namely "[[Yang Zing Prana|Prana]]", "[[Yang Zing PranaUnleashed|Unleashed]]" is a lackluster card with four different effects depending on how your GY looks with different Attribute , and "[[Yang ZingBrutality|Brutality]]" monsters, though it can be devastating are focused on battle (and secondarily provide protection and utility), and support a battle-based lockdown by turning opposing monsters to your opponent if you manage attack position and forcing them to achieve its last effectattack. This lockdown can help trigger "[[Yang Zing Brutality]]" is like float effects and "[[Limiter RemovalChaofeng, Phantom of the Yang Zing|Chaofeng]]" 's Special Summon effect, but are overall ineffective due to their slow speed and need for battling setup.Generally, "Yang Zing" monsters and doubles their ATK and DEF but is destroyed at the end of the Damage Step, which can trigger almost all the monsters played as a supporting engine in the archetype. non-"[[Yang Zing Unleashed]]" can help force your opponent destroy your (and non-"Zefra"Yang Zing" monsters ) Decks, in battle and trigger a lot one of cardstwo ways:* Decks that destroy friendly cards for advantage, and it has the effect of the non-Tunersuch as "[[Metalfoes]]", non-Pendulum can use "Yang Zing" monsters to Synchro Summon during your opponent's turn, by sending it to the GY as a cost. Players are better off not running any of the three cards aformentioned, and should fit more staples Spells/Traps instead. === Exploring the effects of the "Yang Zing" monsters === In a "Yang Zing" Deck, generic Synchro Monsters are even more powerful than normally, as they will gain additional bonuses when Summoned by using the "Yang Zing" monsters as Synchro Materials. Using "Chiwen" as the Tuner: * "'''[[Leo, the Keeper of the Sacred Tree]]'''": With "Suanni", "Bi'an" and "Pulao", it will have 3600 ATK and immunity against battle destruction and Spell Cards that would destroy it, such as "[[Dark Hole]]". * "'''[[Herald of the Arc Light]]"''': Can be Summoned with "Bi'an" and put pressure on the opponent, by negating their effects. Can be revived with "Baxia". Using the effect of "Jiaotu" to Special Summon 2 "Yang Zing" monsters: * "'''[[Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]'''": Special Summon "Taotie" and "Bixi", giving it immunity against Trap Cards that would negate its effect, such as "[[Lose 1 Turn]]", "[[Fiendish Chain]]" etc. * "'''[[Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons]]'''": Special Summon "Suanni" and "Bixi", giving it an ATK/DEF boost and immunity against Trap Cards that would otherwise take it off the field, such as "[[Compulsory Evacuation Device]]", "[[Phoenix Wing Wind Blast]]", "[[Storming Mirror Force]]", etc. * "'''[[Ignister Prominence, the Blasting Dracoslayer]]'''": Special Summon "Zefraxi, Treasure of the Yang Zing" and "Zefraniu, Secret of the Yang Zing"; Synchro Summon this card by using "Jiaotu" and "Zefraniu" then, use this card's effect and destroy "Zefraxi" and shuffle one opposing card.** With a "Yang Zing" card in each of the Pendulum Zones, it is possible to Pendulum Summon that previously destroyed "Zefraxi" and get rid of an opponent's card every turn.* "'''[[Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss]]'''": Special Summon "Zefraniu, Secret of the Yang Zing" and "Chiwen, Light of the Yang Zing"; Synchro Summon any Level 7 or 8 DARK Dragon monster, then use it as a material to Synchro Summon this card.* "'''[[Star Eater]]'''": Special Summon "Taotie", "Pulao" and "Suanni", and then Synchro Summon Star Eater. It will have 500 more ATK and DEF, and the added bonus of ignoring card effects in the Damage Step.* "[[Crystron Quariongandrax|'''Crystron Quariongandrax''']]": Special Summon another copy of "Jiaotu" and "Taotie" and be able to target and banish your opponent's monsters on the field or in the GY up to the number of Synchro Materials for its Summon (in this case 3), also cannot change possession, making effects such as "[[Cyber Dragon Infinity]]" and "[[Creature Swap]]" useless. If it was Synchro Summoned and destroyed by battle or card effect, it can Special Summon ''any'' banished monster, except itself, whether it be yours or your opponent's, and is placed on to your field. It is also possible to use the effect of "Zefraxi, Treasure of the Yang Zing" to turn a non-Tuner "Yang Zing" into a Tuner, in order to achieve more flexible options: * "'''Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons'''": The effect of "Zefraxi" can turn "Taotie" into a Tuner and Synchro Summon this card; in addition, it will be immune against cards like "[[Number 11: Big Eye]]", "Number 101: Silent Honor ARK" and "Cyber Dragon Infinity". * "'''[[Metaphys Horus]]'''": By Synchro Summoning it with "Zefraxi" and "Bi'an", it can permanently negate the effect of any other face-up card on the field and gain control of an opponent's monster, while also being immune against battle destruction. * "'''[[Naturia Barkion]]'''": Can also be Synchro Summoned by the aforementioned method. Also, the effects of the non-Tuner, non-Pendulum Main Deck "Yang Zing" monsters can be used to Synchro Summon during the opponent's turn, allowing the player to activate the effects of monsters like "[[Black Rose Dragon]]", "[[Black Rose Moonlight Dragon]]", or "[[Mist Wurm]]" on the opponent's turn. "Denglong, First of the Yang Zing" also made it easier to Summon monsters like "[[Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon]]" and "[[Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss]]", by Special Summoning "Chiwen" after leaving the field as Synchro material for the Synchro monster required for the Summon of those Dragons. Also, by using "[[Limit Overdrive]]", it is possible to Special Summon "[[Cosmic Blazar Dragon]]", "[[Shooting Quasar Dragon]]", or "[[Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon]]" by returning "Denglong" and "Yazi" to offset their destruction costs and provide more monsters for combo plays.* Decks that can easily make Level 5 Synchros can include the Extra Deck; this can be a surprise factor, as this monster is commonly expected in Decks like "[[Synchron]]Denglong", rather than "Yang Zing" buildsdouble negate package to provide additional interruptions. In addition to this, "Denglong" can change its Level to any from 1 to 6 with its effect, allowing for even more flexibility.

* Since their "Yang Zing" decks lack the ability to perform quick and reliable swarming, as most "Yang Zing" cards lack swarming effects rely on swarming the field, mainly when combined with and those that do have significant weaknesses:** "[[Yang Zing Creation]]"floating effects only float into one other monster, cards like which does not increase the number of on-field monsters.** "[[El Shaddoll Winda]]Creation"provides swarming, but it is a slow Continuous Trap.** "[[El Shaddoll Grysta]]Chiwen" provides provide swarming between its floating and self-revival effects, but its self-revival effect is conditional and slow, due to its "[[Summon Breaker]]one effect per turn" can slow down the Deckcondition. * Cards that purely prevent Special Summons* "Jiaotu" provides rapid field swarming, but its effect is very costly and requires a heavy concentration of archetypal cards. Its heavy cost also turns it into a critical chokepoint, such as negating its effect puts the player at a crippling card economy disadvantage.<!--* "[[VanityDenglong" does supply all the swarming, but it's Emptiness]]banned -->* Searching out "Chiwen" and "[[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo]]Jiaotu" are in the setup also good counters against them; one can also use requires accessible effects that actively destroy "[[Macro Cosmos]]" or "[[Dimensional Fissure]]Yang Zing" monsters to banish them when they are destroyed. "[[Soul Drain]]" and "[[Deck Lockdown]]" can prevent summon them from Special Summoning one another from the Deck when destroyed and, once their main focus is on which the archetype does not have (its destruction effects are either conditional or tied to its Synchro Summoning, monsters). Non-archetypal cards that destroy friendly monsters thus become necessary for "[[Grisaille Prison]]Yang Zing"setup combos, but this also makes "[[Dimensional Barrier]]Jiaotu" and "[[Discord]]" can also be usedharder to use. * The variety of Attributes also makes them vulnerable to Because most "Yang Zing"[[Gozen Match]]floating effects are optional " and When"effects, they can easily [[Battle of Missing the Elements]]".

As such, a "Yang Zing" monster will not be able to activate its searching effect if it is destroyed by "[[Scarlight Red Dragon ArchfiendDimensional Fissure]]", and "[[Gwenhwyfar, Queen of Noble ArmsAbyss Dweller]]", can prevent "Yang Zing" floating effects from being triggered.* Their variety of Attributes makes them vulnerable to "[[Ryko, Lightsworn HunterGozen Match]]", and "[[Felis, Lightsworn ArcherBattle of the Elements]]", or a destruction effect that activates as [[Chain Link]] 2 or higher, etc.* Hand traps such as Their dependance on Level 5 or higher Synchro monsters makes the Deck vulnerable to high-Level floodgates like "[[Effect VeilerEvilswarm Ophion]]" and "[[Ash Blossom & Joyous SpringGrave of the Super Ancient Organism]]" can cripple "Jiaotu" plays and prevent you from moving forward that turn.
