Playing style

The main strategy of this archetype is to Synchro Summon each Synchro Monster, one after the other, using the Special Summoning effect of "Beautiful Mayakashi - Dakki". Then, if a Synchro Monster is destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect, the previous Synchro can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard.
