Alternatively, one can simply use Summoned by "UriaDimension Fusion Destruction" in a "[[Lightsworn]]" Deck, due to the large number of "Lightsworn" Continuous Traps, as well as the fact that "Lightsworns" [[send]] cards directly from the Deck, possibly milling many Continuous Traps''OCG''/''TCG''.{{-}}

To power up "Uria"==Playing style==The three Sacred Beasts historically lacked support cards that worked to effectively support all three monsters, cards like "[[Reasoning]]"and so were typically played separately as individual decks focused on bringing out one of the three Sacred Beasts, "[[Monster Gate]]"using their own summoning conditions. Later on, "[[Emergency Provisions]]" as the three Sacred Beasts received consistency support and "[[Gryphon's Feather Duster]]" can destroy or discard Continuous Traps. "[[Antiseries-Spell Fragrance]]" can be used to force wide support, Sacred Beast Decks gradually homogenized around the opponent to [[Set]] Spell Cards, which "Uria" can destroynew series-wide support.

The drawback to this Deck is that it relies heavily on TrapsBefore receiving their shared consistency support, so "[[Jinzo]]" or "[[Royal Decree]]" will completely cripple it. However note that "Royal Decree", unlike "Jinzo", does not [[negate]] the [[activate|activation]] of your Continuous Traps, so they will stay historical Sacred Beast decks focused on individual Sacred Beasts differed significantly between them in order to fulfill the [[field]], thus allowing you to still Summon "Uria".monsters' summoning conditions:

==Raviel-based Deck==A '''Raviel Deck''' focuses on Summoning "[[RavielAfter receiving their shared support, Lord Sacred Beast monsters became far easier to summon thanks to the effects of Phantasms]]". Due to the [[effectChaos Summoning Beast]] of "Raviel" and its Summoning cost, the Deck has many [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monsters. It can also afford monsters like "[[Giant OrcDark Summoning Beast]]" , and became far easier to access thanks to give "Raviel" a huge [[ATK]] boost once Summoned. Raviel also does very well in a the searchers "[[Dark WorldBeckoning Beast]]" Deck, as the "Dark Worldand " cards can be [[Special SummonOpening of the Spirit Gates]]ed easily".

A good combo is Modern Sacred Beast Decks can be built to get "Raviel", "[[Dark Ruler Ha Des]]" focus on summoning one of the three Sacred Beasts and "use its dedicated [[Doom ShamanSignature move]]" on the field at one timesupport (e.g. "[[Doom ShamanCerulean Skyfire]]" can Special Summon powerful ) to maximize consistency, or playing multiple different Sacred Beast monsters from your hand to be Tributed to boost the enable stronger support cards that require multiple different Sacred Beasts (e.g. "[[ATKAwakening of the Sacred Beasts]] of "Raviel), including summoning "Armityle" and with the effect of "[[Dark Ruler Ha DesDimension Fusion Destruction]]" negates the effects of cards destroyed by Fiends.
