This effect is the crux of the archetype's ability to disrupt your the opponent's plays that rely on particular DARK or LIGHT monsters remaining in their Graveyard. Among the Level 6 members, "[[Bystial Magnamhut]]" is the most useful since it can add any Dragon monster from the user's Deck or GY to the their hand, including other "Bystial" monsters. "[[Bystial Druiswurm]]" can send an opponent's Special Summoned monster to the GY if "Druiswurm" is sent to the GY, while "[[Bystial Baldrake]]" can Tribute one other LIGHT or DARK monster the user controls to banish a [[Ritual Monster|Ritual]], [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]], [[Xyz Monster|Xyz]], or [[Link Monster]] the opponent just Special Summoned, making the duo serve as effective removal options. Finally, "[[Bystial Saronir]]" can send other "Bystial" monsters or "[[Branded]]" [[Spell Card|Spells]]/[[Trap Card|Traps]] to the GY if it is sent to the GY.

Typically in a "Bystial"-focused Deck, the Level 6 "Bystial" monsters also serve as tributes for the higher Level members of the theme, "[[The Bystial Lubellion]]" and "[[The Bystial Alba Los]]". "Lubellion" is a Level 8 monster that can be Special Summoned from hand or GY by tributing 1 Level 6 or higher DARK Dragon monster with effects to not only send itself from hand to GY to search a Level 6 or lower "Bystial" monster but also to place "[[Branded]]" [[Continuous Spell Card|Continuous Spell]]/[[Continuous Trap Card|Trap]] cards from the Deck face-up in your the user's [[Spell & Trap Zone]]. "Alba Los" is the highest leveled monster and requires tributing 2 "Bystial" monsters to Special Summon itself. This card can negate the effects of any face-up [[Ritual Monster|Ritual]], [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]], [[Xyz Monster|Xyz]], or [[Link Monster|Link]] monster on the field with the additional effect to banish all cards from each player's [[Extra Deck]] face-up if it leaves the field by a card effect. "[[Bystial Dis Pater]]" is a powerful Synchro Monster that can Special Summon any LIGHT or DARK monster that is banished, or it can shuffle one of those monsters any banished card back to the Deck to disrupt an opponent if they're using a monster effect.

"Bystial" monsters generally support and are supported by "Branded" cards, in particular with their Continuous Spells/Traps. The two most useful "Branded" cards are "[[Branded Regained]]" and "[[Branded Beast]]". "Regained" allows the player to recur card advantage, gaining a draw by recovering a LIGHT or DARK monster that was just banished whilst also being able to revive "Bystial" monsters whenever the opponent [[Normal Summon|Normal]] or Special Summons a monster(s). Meanwhile "Beast" can destroy an opponent's card they control by tributing a Dragon monster while the player controls a "Bystial" monster, making it pair well with "Druiswurm" for removing cards on the opponent's field and can recover other "Branded" Continuous Spells/Traps from the GY (typically those sent to the GY with "Bystial Saronir"). Other "Branded" cards include "[[Branded Befallen]]", which can protect the user's "Bystial" monsters from the opponent's interactions by banishing a LIGHT or DARK monster, and "[[Etude of the Branded]]", which allows the user to [[Synchro Summon]] during their opponent's turn and also banishes any monster sent to the opponent's GY if the opponent would use monsters as material for an Extra Deck a Fusion, Synchro or Link Summon , or Tributes for a [[Ritual Summon]] while the user controls a "Bystial" monster.
