Kite Tenjo's Decks
Kite plays a "Photon" Deck[1], focused on swarming the field with LIGHT-Attribute monsters, which he can then use to Summon his "Number" monsters and/or his ace card, "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon". According to Mr. Heartland, Kite's Deck was created by him and Dr. Faker by using science from another dimension.[2]

Kite utilizes a Beatdown and Swarm strategy, primarily focused around his "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", using cards such as "Photon Thrasher", "Photon Crusher" and "Photon Spear" to fulfil its summoning requirements. He also uses his "Number" monsters as a secondary strategy. Kite also uses cards to counter the opponent's Xyz Monsters such as "Galaxy Storm" and "Forced Release" as well as cards which counter Set cards, such as "Photon Cerberus" and "Photon Hurricane".
