==Playing style==
A "Zefra" Deck is primarily focused on Pendulum Summons, as all the members of the archetype are Pendulum monsters, while gaining advantage with "[[Oracle of Zefra]]" and "[[Chosen of Zefra]]". "Zefra" Decks are encouraged– encouraged – through the effects of "Oracle" as well as the [[monster effect]]s effects of the individual members– members – to incorporate [[Synchro Summon|Synchro]], [[Xyz Summon|Xyz]], [[Fusion Summon|Fusion]] and even [[Ritual Summon]]s into the Deck, enabling an astounding degree of potential variety. This deck even has the ability to summon "[[Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth]]", one of the most difficult monsters in the game to summon (This is fitting, as the Zefra are supposedly the chosen warriors of Sophia). The natural reusability of Pendulum Monsters fits well into this strategy, and can enable the player to perform multiple kinds of Summons every turn. "[[Shaddoll]]" [[Fusion Monster]]s especially thrive in "Zefra" Decks, which incorporate all 6 [[Attribute]]s and provides 2 "Shaddoll" Main Deck monsters on its own.
Each member can also be used in Decks of their secondary archetypes, augmenting their existing strategies with Pendulum Summons. For example, "[[Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz]]" can function as a reusable substitute for a [[Ritual Spell Card]] when paired with other copies of itself and "[[Zefraxa, Flame Beast of the Nekroz]]". In fact, the archetype is designed such that its 10 members form ordered pairs for each of the 5 secondary archetypes ("[[tellarknight]]", "Shaddoll", "[[Ritual Beast]]", "[[Nekroz]]" and "[[Yang Zing]]"), with one member having a scale of 7 and the other having a scale of 1. For all of the archetypes mentioned, every single Main Deck monster (with the exception of "[[Chiwen, Light of the Yang Zing]]", "[[Pulao, Wind of the Yang Zing]]" and "[[Ritual Beast Tamer Lara]]") falls within these scales, meaning that any (non-[[Nomi]]) monster in these [[archetype]]s can be [[Pendulum Summon]]ed using their respective "Zefra" pair.
