 "'''Trickstar'''" is an [[archetype]] of [[female]] [[LIGHT]] [[Fairy]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] used by [[Aoi Skye Zaizen]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'' anime, which debuted in the ''[[OCG]]'' with ''[[Code of the Duelist]]''. ==AppearanceDesign=====DesignAppearance===[[File:Trickster (anime).png|200px|left|thumb|[[Skye Zaizen|Blue Angel]] with "[[Trickstar Holly Angel (anime)|Trickstar Holly Angel]]", "[[Trickstar Lilybell (anime)|Lilybell]]" and "[[Trickstar Lycoris (anime)|Lycoris]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|anime]].]]The "Trickstar" monsters are based on [[wikipedia:Japanese idol|Japanese idol]]s. All ; all of them have the members shown so far are females dressing in colorful attires appearance of colorfully-dressed humanoid girls and women with a few pairs of white insect-like wings(Extra Deck monsters have 3 pairs, the upper one decorated with golden trimming, while Main Deck members have 2 pairs), glassy eyes, a tattoo of varying shape on their facesthe face, headphones over the ears, and holding an unique object in their respective artworks. Their skirt designs , and sometimes their hairdos, resemble the petal of each flowers they're named after. The Main Deck monsters have an appearance <div style="float:right">[[File:TrickstarToken-MADU-EN-VG-artwork.png|200px|right|thumb|A "[[Trickstar Token]]", which is a winged version of teenage girls, while the [[Link Monster"Trickstar" crest.]]</div>The archetype's appear as young womencrest is a red stylized heart with four protusions on the bottom and three pink spots in the middle, which make it resemble a skull, likely referencing the burn playstyle and the toxic plant theme (see below). Every member has this crest pinned somewhere on her outfit, most usually on the collar. It also features heavily in many of their Spell and Trap Cards. The monster "[[Dark Angel]]", although not being an official a member of this archetype, has a similar design to the rest of the "Trickstar" monsters and was also used by Aoi Skye in the anime once. 

Trickstar is a portmanteau of the words "Trick" and "Star" while also playing on the word "Trickster". The members of this archetype are named after various flowers, nearly always poisonous or toxic ones.<ref>https://ygorganization.com/finally-a-poison-fairy-type/</ref><ref>https://ygorganization. com/oof-ouch-owie/</ref> In addition, all most of the Link Monsters' names released so far also contain reference religious motifmotifs.

The primary strategy of a "Trickstar" Deck is dealing small amounts of [[effect damage]], usually 200 damage. In the case of the Main Deck cards, multiple times through various effects. Each will deal damage whenthis effect is triggered according to the opponent's actions, as follows:{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center"* ! "Trickstar"!! Damage-inflicting effect|-| [[Trickstar Candina|Candina]]" - Your || When the opponent activates a Spell or /TrapCard.|-| [[Trickstar Lycoris|Lycoris]] || When the opponent adds card(s) to their hand, for each card.* "|-| [[Trickstar Narkissus|Narkissus]]" - Your || When the opponent activates a monster's effect from in their hand or graveyardGraveyard.* "|-| [[Trickstar LycorisRhodode|Rhodode]]" - Your || When a card(s) is banished from the opponent adds to their hand 's Graveyard, for each card (including those drawn by effect or for their .|-| [[Draw PhaseTrickstar Bella Madonna|Bella Madonna]]),|| For each different "Trickstar" monster in its controller's Graveyard.* "|-| [[Trickstar Black Catbat|Black Catbat]]| rowspan="2" colspan="2" - A | When a monster it [[points to]] is sent to the GY (destroyed by battle or by a card effect).* "|-| [[Trickstar Holly AngelBloom|Bloom]]" |- A "Trickstar" is Summoned to a | [[zoneTrickstar Divaridis|Divaridis‎]] it points to|| When Special Summoned and each time the opponent Normal/Special Summons a monster(s).* "|-| [[Trickstar Light StageFoxglove Witch|Foxglove Witch]]" - One of your "Trickstar" monsters deals damage|| When Special Summoned and when destroyed, for each card the opponent controls.

"LightstageLight Stage" can lock down their [[Set]] Spells and Traps for a turn before forcing a "use it or lose it" scenario. "[[Trickstar Reincarnation]]" banishes the opponent's entire hand and lets them draw an equal number of new cards for them (which can also deal significant burn damage off of the effect of "Lycoris"), eliminating the benefit of search cards and cards that activate in the Graveyard. "Holly Angel" prevents "Trickstar" monsters in her Link Points from being destroyed. "Lycoris" can return "Trickstar" monsters from the field to the hand to avoid other removal effects. To help facilitate the above strategies, "Trickstars" have immense searching and reviving power. "LightstageLight Stage" can search any of the "Trickstar" monsters on activation. "Candina" can search any "Trickstar" card, including herself, when Normal Summoned. This will often be "Lilybell," which you can then Special Summon, allowing you to promptly [[Link Summon]] "Holly Angel" or attack directly with "Lilybell" via its effect to recover a "Trickstar" card from the Graveyard. "Lycoris" can return "Candina" to your hand to allow you to Summon her and search again. "Reincarnation" can be banished from the Graveyard to Special Summon a "Trickstar" from the Graveyard. == Weaknesses =Recommended cards===* As an Effect Damage-based deck, cards that either prevent/redirect [[Effect Damage]] or benefit from it, such as "[[Number 14: Greedy Sarameya]]" and "[[Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons]]", pose big threats to it. Anti-LIGHT cards such as "[[Light-Imprisoning Mirror]]" and "Ally of Justice" cards can also cripple this deck** However, unlike other Effect Damage based decks, one-time damage prevention is far less of a hindrance. * As a deck built upon Chain Links, it's very prone to [[Chain Effects]] or Effects that affect the entire [[Chain Link]]. Because of this, [[Chain Burn]] decks utitlizing cards like "[[Accumulated Fortune]]", "[[Miraculous Rebirth]]", and "[[Vanity's Call]]" can quickly cause the Deck to fall to pieces. * A general weakness against LIGHT anti-support, such as "[[Ally of Justice]]" monsters or "[[Light-Imprisoning Mirror]]".
