The Yubel series is made up of the various forms of "Yubel". All of them were used by the Duel Monster Spirit, Yubel. They were released in Phantom Darkness.

The ATK and DEF of all "Yubel" monsters are 0 and all are Fiend-Type monsters. The very last of the "Yubel" monsters can apply its effect whenever it battles, and it destroys the monster it battles with. When a "Yubel" monster is destroyed, the next evolution can be Special Summoned and the player does not take any Battle Damage. When a face-up Attack Position "Yubel" monster is attacked by an opponent's monster, before damage calculation, they take damage equal to that monster's ATK.

Play style

The Yubel Deck revolves around destroying Yubel to activate its effect and Summon "Yubel - Terror Incarnate" to stall the field, and/or inflict damage each turn using other monsters.

Ways of Summoning "Yubel" include:

Cards like "Torrential Tribute" or "Dark Hole" are useful for destroying "Yubel".

Weaknesses

  • Rock Decks that bounce Yubel back to the Hand or Deck are a serious threat. Rocks also tend to have low ATK, making the whole point of Yubel moot.
  • "Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror" and "Royal Oppression" can wreck a Yubel Deck by negating the effects of Yubel monsters. Even after a Yubel is destroyed by a card effect, "Royal Oppression" will prevent the Special Summon of the next Yubel, making the whole effort pointless unless you revive the Yubels.
  • "Stardust Dragon" is a big problem for Yubel Decks: He can negate the destruction and effect of all Yubels. He can negate the damage effect of "Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare" as well. You must have cards that can take care of him. The best is "Divine Wrath" because this Trap card can destroy "Yubel" to "evolve" her or be used to kill "Stardust Dragon" when he tries to negate a destruction effect and it won't come back from the graveyard. "Compulsory Evacuation Device" can also be used to great effect on either "Stardust Dragon" or "Yubel - Terror Incarnate".
  • Another big problem is a Lightsworn Deck. "Judgment Dragon" can cause serious problems by paying 1000 LP's multiple times to get rid of all 3 Yubels and attack for game. Side Decking some "Light-Imprisoning Mirrors" and/or "Brain Golems" and possibly a "Soul Release" will help to counteract the mighty "Judgment Dragon". Another good way to counter a Lightsworn Deck would be "Karma Cut", as it would remove a monster and all copies of it in the Graveyard from play, thus stalling the Summon of "Judgment Dragon".

Deck types

Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare Deck

The objective is to get "Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare" out on the field because it cannot be destroyed by battle and can attack opponents monsters to destroy them without damage to you while damaging your opponent at no cost to you. Cards like "Montage Dragon" will fit to this Deck, as you can use the Yubel's High Level for it's power. Another Technique is the almost-immortal Yubel, Summoning it by Tributing "Hardened Armed Dragon" while it's effect is active, making the only thing to stop it is by returning it in the hand.

Synchro Yubel

Synchro Yubel is a Deck with the objective of dumping "Yubel" in the Graveyard as soon as possible while also getting Tuners out on the field and getting field advantage with Synchro Monsters such as "Stardust Dragon" or "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier", as they both combo well with "Yubel - Terror Incarnate".

Traps

Calculator Yubel

The idea of this Deck is to quickly search "Yubel", "Metal Reflect Slime", and other high level monsters, along with "The Calculator", then clear the field, and attack for game. You can use any Draw Engine you want, but most prefer "Destiny HEROes".

Virus Control Yubel

By adjusting the Doom Shaman/Swing of Memories Yubel Deck, it becomes possible to integrate the Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast / Deck Devastation Virus / Eradicator Epidemic Virus group of cards, and by utilizing the ease with which Yubel-Terror Incarnate can be Summoned as a stalling strategy until Doom Shaman or another appropriate monster can be Summoned for Deck Devastation Virus Fodder, Fusilier Dragon is drawn into for Eradicator Epidemic Virus, or, waiting until an opponent overextends to destroy "Yubel-Terror Incarnate" and "Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare" to play "Crush Card Virus" and severely punish them for the play. The primary issue is being able to capitalize. There are a couple of answers to that, and thats what the rest of the Deck is made up of.
