"'''Ally of Justice'''" ({{Ruby|A・O・J|アーリー・オブ・ジャスティス}} ''Ārī Obu Jasutisu'') is an [[archetype]] of [[DARK]] [[Machine]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] used by the [[Ghost]] army, [[Diablo]], in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''.
"'''Ally of Justice'''" ({{Ruby|A・O・J|アーリー・オブ・ジャスティス}} ''Ārī obu Jasutisu'') is an [[archetype]] of [[DARK]] [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monsters used by the [[Ghost]] army, [[Diablo]] in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]. They are empowered during the user's Battle Phase when the opponent controls [[LIGHT]] monsters. The trump card of the archetype is "[[Ally of Justice Catastor]]", who destroys any non-[[DARK]] monster in battle. The "Allies of Justice" are introduced in ''[[Duel Terminal - Synchro Awakening!!]]'' with further support in ''[[Duel Terminal - Invasion of Worms!!]]'', ''[[Duel Terminal - Justice Strikes Back!!]]'' and ''[[Duel Terminal - Dragunity of the Hurricane!!]]''. [[TCG]]-wise, they have been released in ''[[Hidden Arsenal]]''.

On this distant star, each tribe or clan fights to ultimately reign supreme. For the longest time, the war just waged on, with no one group holding the advantage. However, this battle that no one thought would ever end was suddenly brought to an abrupt halt, as the "[[Worm]]s", invaders from outer space, suddenly crashed on the planet.

To combat the invaders, the tribes and clans were forced to form a truce and unite together. The four tribes that were the most powerful forces on the continent form their own organization, "Ally of Justice". Bringing together each of their technologies and crafts, they began to develop anti-Worm weapons.

This archetype is rather unique among all others. Most archetypes tend to not focus exclusively upon destroying one particular category of opposing monsters. Indeed, against most Decks many of the cards in this Archetype will be useless. Fortunately, "[[DNA Transplant]]" can be used to set all opposing monsters to [[LIGHT]] to benefit from their effects while protecting it with "[[Imperial Custom]]".

"Ally of Justice" monsters are either empowered during the user's Battle Phase when the opponent controls [[LIGHT]] monsters or produce disadvantages for the opponent when playing LIGHT monsters. As an archetype "Ally of Justice" is rather unique, since most archetypes tend to not focus exclusively upon destroying one particular category of opposing monsters.
 
+
The most famous card that "Ally of Justice" has to offer is "[[Ally of Justice Catastor]]": "Catastor" saw years of competitive and casual play as a fantastic [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]] option. "Catastor" could deal with many boss monsters from the time, as well as being extremely easy to Summon as a generic Synchro Monster. And even nowadays, it is a fantastic option against many monsters in the game. "[[Ally of Justice Cycle Reader]]" has also had major success as a counter option against "[[Lightsworn]]", "[[Blue-Eyes]]" and more recently "[[Drytron]]" decks, and is also useful due to being a [[Tuner monster]]. "[[Ally of Justice Quarantine]]" is a solid counter option against LIGHT decks since it blocks Special Summoning of monsters with that attribute. "[[Ally of Justice Decisive Armor]]" is the deck's in-house boss, but is effectively a very large beatstick if the opponent has no LIGHT Monsters on the field.
If using "[[DNA Transplant]]", "[[Lyna the Light Charmer]]" can help you take over your opponent's monsters (if the Attribute 'LIGHT' is selected with "[[DNA Transplant]]"). Also, since all monsters on your field are LIGHT, you can use them to Synchro Summon "[[Light End Dragon]]" to your side of the field.
+
Within the [[Speed Duel]] format, "[[Ally of Justice Clausolas]]" is the central monster in "[[Spell Proof Armor]]" decks, with "[[Ally of Justice Core Destroyer|Core Destroyer]]" featuring as one of the best removal cards available, where "[[A-to-Z|XYZ]]" is a popular Deck choice and "[[Kaiser Glider]]" is feautured in a majority of Decks with relatively little Monster removal available.
 
+
"[[DNA Transplant]]" can be used to make all opposing monsters to LIGHT to allow "Alliy of Justice" Monsters access to their effects. The deck also synergizes well with "[[Orcust]]" cards, with "[[Orcust Crescendo|Crescendo]]" being able to search any Ally of Justice. "[[Kaiju]]" can also replace an opponent's monster with a LIGHT Monster, although both of these are larger than any unboosted "Ally of Justice". The same can be said of the potentially more disruptive "[[Nibiru, the Primal Being]]" Another recent option to be combined with "Ally of Justice" are the "[[Gizmek]]" cards, with some members being able to be recruited to hand by "[[Sacred Scrolls of the Gizmek Legend]]" while the main Gizmek Monsters don't detract from "Ally of Justice's" power.
When "DNA Transplant" isn't on the field all your "Ally of Justice" monsters will be DARK and as a result you can Synchro Summon "[[Dark End Dragon]]" to your side of the field.
+
===Weaknesses===
 
+
* Although "Ally of Justice" are at their best when battling LIGHT monsters they can be countered with cards like "[[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]]", "[[Destiny HERO - Plasma]]" and "[[Forbidden Droplet]]".
"[[Allure of Darkness]]" is also handy in this Deck even with "[[DNA Transplant]]" on the field because Ally of Justice monsters are still DARK-Attribute when in your hand.
+
* "[[Acid Rain]]", "[[Magnetic Mosquito]]" and "[[System Down]]" also hurt the deck because they clear the field of all [[Machine]] monsters on the field (especially "[[System Down]]" because it [[Banish|banishes]] them).
 
+
* "Allies of Justice" have a hard time against high stat lines, since they don't necessarily pack a lot of destruction effects and might not even reach high enough with "Limiter Removal" involved. They are also slow to gain momentum.
"Allies of Justice" are designed to counter the "[[Worm]]" archetype (specifically the [[LIGHT]] Reptile-type series), as these "Worms" are [[LIGHT]] monsters with [[Flip effect]]s.

===Swap Justice===
 
Instead of relying on your opponent playing LIGHT monsters. Instead use cards like "[[Creature Swap]]" or "[[Mystic Box]]" to give control to your opponent a LIGHT monster you control instead. So you can give your opponent a Gold or Silver Gadget and then Summon another Gadget from your deck.

==Weakness==
 
Although "Ally of Justice" are strong when battling LIGHT monsters they can be countered with cards like "[[Skill Drain]]", "[[Destiny HERO - Plasma]]" and "[[Angel O7]]" (even though "Angel O7" is a LIGHT monster he negates any effects on the field). To counter those cards use cards like "[[Royal Decree]]" and "[[Lightning Vortex]]".
 
 
 
"[[Acid Rain]]", "[[Magnetic Mosquito]]" and "[[System Down]]" also hurt the deck because they clear the field of all [[Machine]]-Type monsters on the field (especially "[[System Down]]" because it [[banish]]es them).
 
 
 
Unfortunately, the vast majority of your monsters have no other positive effects when facing a deck that isn't primarily LIGHT. Even with "[[DNA Transplant]]" most of your monsters will still struggle to overcome any monster with very high attack or multiple monsters at a time. Even when facing a LIGHT deck, it is very easy for your deck to get outpaced or overwhelmed without your having disruption.
 
 
 
== Competitive History ==
 
Ally of Justice as a deck on it's own has never seen any real success on large scale success, however a handful of their monsters have seen competitive play in some formats that had large amounts of LIGHT monsters in the format. "[[Ally of Justice Cycle Reader]]" and "[[Ally of Justice Decisive Armor]]". Ally of Justice Cycle Reader has had major success against formats against "[[Lightsworn]]" and "[[Blue-Eyes]]" decks, as well as being a [[Tuner]].
 
 
 
"[[Ally of Justice Catastor]]" however, had seen years of competitive and casual play as a fantastic Synchro option from mainly 2009 to 2013. Catastor could deal with many boss monsters for the time, as well as being extremely easy to summon as a generic Synchro Monster. Even as of now it is a fantastic option against many monsters in the game.{{Archseries navbox}}

"Ally of Justice" (A・O・Jアーリー・オブ・ジャスティス Ārī Obu Jasutisu) is an archetype of DARK Machine monsters used by the Ghost army, Diablo, in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

Duel Terminal story[edit]

On this distant star, each tribe or clan fights to ultimately reign supreme. For the longest time, the war just waged on, with no one group holding the advantage. However, this battle that no one thought would ever end was suddenly brought to an abrupt halt, as the "Worms", invaders from outer space, suddenly crashed on the planet. To combat the invaders, the tribes and clans were forced to form a truce and unite together. The four tribes that were the most powerful forces on the continent form their own organization, "Ally of Justice". Bringing together each of their technologies and crafts, they began to develop anti-Worm weapons.

Playing style[edit]

"Ally of Justice" monsters are either empowered during the user's Battle Phase when the opponent controls LIGHT monsters or produce disadvantages for the opponent when playing LIGHT monsters. As an archetype "Ally of Justice" is rather unique, since most archetypes tend to not focus exclusively upon destroying one particular category of opposing monsters. The most famous card that "Ally of Justice" has to offer is "Ally of Justice Catastor": "Catastor" saw years of competitive and casual play as a fantastic Synchro option. "Catastor" could deal with many boss monsters from the time, as well as being extremely easy to Summon as a generic Synchro Monster. And even nowadays, it is a fantastic option against many monsters in the game. "Ally of Justice Cycle Reader" has also had major success as a counter option against "Lightsworn", "Blue-Eyes" and more recently "Drytron" decks, and is also useful due to being a Tuner monster. "Ally of Justice Quarantine" is a solid counter option against LIGHT decks since it blocks Special Summoning of monsters with that attribute. "Ally of Justice Decisive Armor" is the deck's in-house boss, but is effectively a very large beatstick if the opponent has no LIGHT Monsters on the field. Within the Speed Duel format, "Ally of Justice Clausolas" is the central monster in "Spell Proof Armor" decks, with "Core Destroyer" featuring as one of the best removal cards available, where "XYZ" is a popular Deck choice and "Kaiser Glider" is feautured in a majority of Decks with relatively little Monster removal available. "DNA Transplant" can be used to make all opposing monsters to LIGHT to allow "Alliy of Justice" Monsters access to their effects. The deck also synergizes well with "Orcust" cards, with "Crescendo" being able to search any Ally of Justice. "Kaiju" can also replace an opponent's monster with a LIGHT Monster, although both of these are larger than any unboosted "Ally of Justice". The same can be said of the potentially more disruptive "Nibiru, the Primal Being" Another recent option to be combined with "Ally of Justice" are the "Gizmek" cards, with some members being able to be recruited to hand by "Sacred Scrolls of the Gizmek Legend" while the main Gizmek Monsters don't detract from "Ally of Justice's" power.
