"'''Blackwing'''", known as "'''Black Feather'''" ({{Ruby|ＢＦ|ブラックフェザー}} ''Burakku Fezā'') in the Japanese version, is an [[archetype]] of [[Monster Card|monsters]], debuting in ''[[Crimson Crisis]]'', used by both [[Crow Hogan]] and [[Robert Pearson]], with the former inheriting the Deck from the latter, in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime. They were also used in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime by Crow's [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|alternate universe counterpart]]. All members of this archetype are [[DARK]] [[Winged Beast]] monsters, except for the [[LIGHT]] "[[Blackwing - Aurora the Northern Lights]]" and the [[Warrior]] "[[Blackwing Tamer - Obsidian Hawk Joe]]".

==Design==
−
The '''"Blackwing"''' [[archetype]], known as '''"Black Feather"''' archetype in the Japanese version, is a series of [[Monster Cards|monsters]] which mostly consist of [[DARK]] [[Winged Beast]]-[[Type]] (except "[[Blackwing - Aurora the Northern Lights]]" which is a [[LIGHT]] monster) monsters making their debut in "[[Crimson Crisis]]". In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]] anime, they are used by [[Crow Hogan]]. Most of these monsters are somewhat humanoid and have either a tengu or bird-like appearance. Also, most of "Blackwing" monsters  feature black in their design, usually on their wing feathering. Most are named after types of wind and air currents, except for the manga version, who are named after weapons instead. They are a Deck with [[swarm]]ing and speed capabilities. When [[Crimson Crisis]] was released, this [[Archetype]] was very unsupported - only 5 "Blackwing" cards were released: "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind|Gale the Whirlwind]]", "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn|Sirocco the Dawn]]", "[[Blackwing - Bora the Spear|Bora the Spear]]", "[[Blackwing Armor Master|Armor Master]]" and "[[Raptor Wing Strike]]". Later on, with the release of [[Raging Battle]] and [[Ancient Prophecy]] the set grew into a highly swarming and powerful Deck. The speed it gives with its swarming, along with its additional [[Synchro Summon]]ing capabilities landed this Deck a place on the [[Shonen Jump]] Circuit. New "Blackwing" monsters and support are released in [[The Shining Darkness]] and [[Starstrike Blast]], giving them alternative strategies. The cards relate to various types of birds and several types of winds.

Most "Blackwing" monsters generally have a very bird-like appearance, with most [[Level]] 3 and lower members appearing as small birds while the [[Level]] 4 and higher monsters appearing to be either humanoids in bird-like outfits or humanoid birds. They also have a prominent black color-scheme in their design, usually on their wing feathering.

==Playing Style==
+
{{-|left}}
−
The "Blackwing"s effects are focused around [[Swarm]]ing. Because of that, they have an aggressive playing style. Also, because of their [[Swarm]]ing capabilities, they are good for using [[Synchro Summon]] (Note that their trump cards are [[Synchro Monsters]]). Their support cards rely on their swarm abilities such as "[[Delta Crow - Anti Reverse]]" which can be activated from the hand when you control exactly 3 "Blackwing" Monsters. Some of them take an advantage from "Blackwing"s swarming abilities and support it such as "[[Black Whirlwind]]". Some of them rely on your opponent such as "[[Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North]]" which needs a monster in the [[Graveyard]] to [[Special Summon]]. With the overwhelming amount of near forced synergy and powerful support cards, "Blackwing"s are one of the easiest archetype to play. This along with its overall power and relatively low cost nature makes "Blackwing"s one of the most powerful archetypes in the current [[metagame]].

==Members==

+
===Anime===
−
The primary draw power used in "Blackwing"s is represented by "[[Allure of Darkness]]", "[[Pot of Duality]]", and "[[Cards for Black Feathers]]". Because of this myriad of choices and ability to run many of them simultaneously, it is not surprising that "Blackwing"s are known for impressive consistency
+
; 5D's
 +
In the anime, the "Blackwing" monsters are named after geographical elements usually related to the natural phenomena, winds and birds.

Also, because most of the "Blackwing" monsters are [[DARK]] [[Winged Beast]] monsters, along with "[[Allure of Darkness]]" for drawing power, you can use "[[Icarus Attack]]" for card destruction. Alongside that, many "Blackwing" Decks also run "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]" for its ability to be [[Special Summon]]ed by having [[DARK]] monsters in the Graveyard.

In the manga, the Blackwing monsters are named after weapons of mythological origins and natural sky-related phenomena.

"Blackwing"s are one of the few top tier Decks that don't require their combo pieces to go off to win. Their toolbox allows them to shift their playstyle from being aggressive to passive. The Deck has numerous mind games forcing players to make less than sub-optimal plays to play against it. By setting a card in the Spell & Trap Card Zone with a "Blackwing" monster, the mind game and the illusion of the "[[Icarus Attack]]" being present is given off. Players will have to slow down their playing style, forcing any aggressive Decks to be crippled and unable to commence their plays recklessly.

"Blackwing"s are a powerful archetype, able to quickly swarm the field, Synchro Summon, and do devastating damage in the first turn alone. Their specialty is their Special Summons, allowing you to  summon multiple monsters in a single turn, then use effects such as "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn]]'s" or "[[Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow]]'s" to build off one another and quickly wreak massive destruction.

==Playing style==
 +
The "Blackwing" archetype is focused on [[swarm]]ing monsters for [[Synchro Summon]]ing, with a number of secondary focuses including [[hand trap]]-like effects, [[counter]] usage, ATK modulation, interactions with "[[Black-Winged Dragon]]", inflicting burn damage in multiples of 700, and non-standard methods of Special Summoning [[Synchro Monster]]s (e.g. the "GY Synchro" effect of "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor|Vayu]]", which historically formed a deck known as "Vayu Turbo" or "Vayusworn" when paired up with self-milling cards like "[[Card Trooper]]" or "[[Lightsworn]]" monsters to [[List of unofficial terms#Turbo|turbo]] out its effect). Historical "Blackwing" Decks were played as control Decks focusing on using the archetype's excellent Normal Summons, backed up with the potential for swarming and combo plays. Later "Blackwing" Decks evolved into swarming-based combo Decks revolving around the searching power of "[[Black Whirlwind]]".
 +
"Blackwing" has a strong emphasis on [[swarm]]ing monsters from the hand. Most monsters have the ability to [[Special Summon]] themselves from the [[hand]]; others carry special effects that utilize the [[Graveyard]] and hand to advance the gamestate.
 +
Since all of the "Blackwing" monsters rely on the hand for swarming, "[[Black Whirlwind]]" allows them to replenish their resources while giving them the ability to toolbox into certain combo pieces. And when enough "Blackwing" cards have swarmed the [[field]], support cards like "[[Delta Crow - Anti Reverse]]" and "[[Black Sonic]]" are granted additional effects that allow them to be activated from the hand.
 +
As a primarily [[DARK]] and [[Winged Beast]] Deck, the Deck benefits from their related Typing and Attribute support. Because most "Blackwing" cards do not impose any significant summoning restrictions, the Deck can use its swarming potential to pivot into a variety of non-"Blackwing" combos. In particular, "[[Raidraptor - Wise Strix]]" opens up a wide variety of combos involving Xyz Monsters, "[[Rank-Up-Magic]]", and even "[[The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche]]", all the while operating under the DARK Extra Deck lock of combo starter "[[Blackwing - Simoon the Poison Wind|Simoon the Poison Wind]]".

* [[Armageddon Knight]]

This Deck is based on getting "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" into the Graveyard and sending high-Level "Blackwing" monsters into the Graveyard, then [[Special Summon]]ing ("[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" only Special Summons "Blackwing" [[Synchro]]s). Because the effect of "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" Special Summons Synchro Monsters instead of Synchro Summoning them, the requirements on the cards do not apply, and as per the effect of "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]", their effects are negated.  The strategy then devolves into spamming high-ATK [[Synchro|Synchro Monsters]] followed by swarming the field with other "Blackwing" monsters. Recycling "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" with "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]" to perform another [[Special Summon]] is a recommended tactic. This also allows you to return "[[Necro Gardna]]" and anything else you might remove with "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]" or "[[Allure of Darkness]]" to your [[Graveyard]]. To go along with "[[Burial from a Different Dimension]]", you can add "[[Return from the Different Dimension]]" to summon the same cards to your side of the field and attempt an [[OTK]]. Cards that send other cards from your Deck to your Graveyard,  such as "[[Card Trooper]]" (or, to a lesser extent, "[[Veil of Darkness]]"), are suggested. Another possible strategy is to Special Summon "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" through the effect of "[[Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame]]", negating the Synchro Summoning restriction of "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]", and Synchro Summon "[[Ally of Justice Catastor]]". Alternatively, you can use "[[Double Summon]]" to Summon "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" and a Level 4-6 "Blackwing", then use "[[Forbidden Chalice]]" to negate the effect of "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" and Synchro Summon.

"[[Crush Card Virus]]" (in [[Traditional Format]] only) might be a viable tool for ditching "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" to the Graveyard while destroying the opponent's monsters. "[[Deck Devastation Virus]]" and/or "[[Eradicator Epidemic Virus]]" work for ditching a high-Level "Blackwing" monster to the Graveyard and destroying low-ATK monsters. This strategy works very will with this type of Deck, since you will be able to rapidly swarm the field with high-ATK DARK-Attribute Monsters, since the key cards of this Deck ("[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]", high Level "Blackwing"s) make perfect targets for the "[[Crush Card Virus]]". When they are in the Graveyard, you can summon even more monsters while leaving your opponent with nothing. Furthermore, you will be looking at your opponent's hand, allowing you to predict their actions. Another way to use "[[Crush Card Virus]]" is to set it and wait until "[[Crush Card Virus]]", or the possible target, is targeted by one of your opponent's effects that might affect you negatively and counter it by using the monster as a Tribute to activate the "[[Crush Card Virus]]".

−
Another great card for this Deck is "[[Skill Drain]]" which can negate the effect of "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" while it is on the field (so it can be used as a Synchro Material monster on the field) while still allowing it to Special Summon Synchro Monsters by removing it from the Graveyard ("Skill Drain" does not negate effects in the Graveyard).  As an added bonus, the effect-negating drawback on the Synchro Monster will be meaningless, since "Skill Drain" does the same to each other monster.

===Weaknesses===
−
* [[Return from the Different Dimension]]
+
* Aside from "[[Blackwing Full Armor Master]]", the archetype has a general lack of in-archetype boss monsters or easily searchable disruptions with field holding powers, and so often has to rely on the Xyz boss monsters and searchable disruptions provided by "[[Raidraptor - Wise Strix|Wise Strix]]" and "[[The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche|Rusty Bardiche]]" combos.
−
* [[Royal Oppression]]
+
* The search effect from "[[Black Whirlwind]]" is affected by effects that reduce ATK, such as "[[Burden of the Mighty]]" or "[[Solidarity]]", and the Deck's combos can be potentially disrupted by such effects.
−
* [[Skill Drain]]
+
* Most "Blackwing" [[swarm]]ing effects require at least 1 "Blackwing" on the field as a precondition, so destroying the first summon of a "Blackwing" monster can potentially stop the Deck's combos.
−
 
+
* "Blackwing" cards provide limited recovery options, making it difficult for the Deck to comeback should it be hit with an equalizer like "[[Torrential Tribute]]".
−
==Blackwing Twilight==
+
* Due to the importance of searching for the Deck's combos, anti-search cards like "[[Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring]]", "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]", and "[[Droll & Lock Bird]]" can cripple the Deck's combos.
−
{{Main|Blackwing Twilight}}
+
* As a swarming-based Deck, the Deck is weak to "[[Nibiru, the Primal Being]]".
−
 
+
* As a DARK Deck, the Deck is countered by anti-DARK cards like "[[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]]".
−
This is  variety of "Blackwing" Deck that relies on the "[[Lightsworn]]" engine to help bring out cards like "[[Chaos Sorcerer]]" and "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]".
+
* Since the Deck has some need for the GY to make plays, anti-GY cards like "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" can significantly disrupt the Deck's combos.
−
 
 
−
==Synchro Summoning==
 
−
Several of the "Blackwing"s, as well as their support cards, make [[Synchro Summon]]ing fairly easy.
 
−
* "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind]]": Can be [[Special Summon]]ed from your hand if you control another "Blackwing" monster besides another "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind|Gale]]".
 
−
* "[[Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North]]": Upon being [[Normal Summon]]ed, can [[Special Summons from your Graveyard|Special Summon from your Graveyard]] a Level 4 or lower "Blackwing" monster.
 
−
* "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]": Can [[Special Summon]] "Blackwing" Synchro Monsters by utilizing "Blackwing" monster as materials from the Graveyard instead of the field. Keep in mind that the effects of these Synchro Monsters will be negated as long as they are face-up on the field ("[[Book of Moon]]" is one of the cards that can remedy this problem) and this form of Summoning disallows them from being Special Summoned from the Graveyard or [[removed from play]].
 
−
* "[[Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame]]": Although not a "Blackwing" Tuner Monster, this monster can [[Special Summons from your Deck|Special Summon from your Deck]] a "Blackwing" monster with 1500 or less [[ATK]] after it has destroyed an opponent's monster during the [[Damage Step]]. Because the searched monster's effect is negated, [[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor|Vayu]] will be able to [[Synchro Summon]] while on the field if summoned in this way (which is normally unable to).
 
−
* "[[Black Whirlwind]]": The trump card of any "Blackwing" Deck. When a "Blackwing" monster is [[Normal Summon]]ed, you can add a "Blackwing" monster from your Deck to your hand if its [[ATK]] is weaker than the summoned monster.
 
−
 
 
−
Because of their potential to create Level 6 and 7 [[Synchro Monsters]] with such ease, "[[Blackwing Armed Wing]]", "[[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]", and "[[Goyo Guardian]]" are among the top choices for Level 6, while "[[Blackwing Armor Master]]" and "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" are among the top choices for Level 7. "[[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]" is a great choice to create OTK opportunities as it can clear the opponent's Spell and Trap Card Zone while tossing multiple "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]"s to the Graveyard so they can Special Summon Synchro Monsters from the Extra Deck. "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" is a good choice to clear the field, if the field becomes crowded, to evade a [[Trap Card]](s) that could ruin your strategy, or create card advantage.
 
−
 
 
−
Level 8 [[Synchro Monsters]] like "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" are somewhat harder to [[Synchro Summon]] than Level 6 or 7 [[Synchro Monsters]]. The most common way to perform a Level 8 Synchro Summon is to Normal Summon "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn]]" and then Special Summon "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind]]". Even if you do not have "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind|Gale]]" in your hand, it can easily be searched out with "[[Black Whirlwind]]" after Normal Summoning "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn|Sirocco]]". Among the top choices for the Synchro Summon is "[[Stardust Dragon]]", as it can offer protection from effects that destroy cards and "[[Colossal Fighter]]", as it can consistently revive itself after it has fallen in battle.
 
−
 
 
−
Due to the requirements of its [[Synchro Summon]], "[[Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant]]" (released in [[Stardust Overdrive]]) has been widely dismissed by many "Blackwing" duelists. However, it can be easily summoned by removing "[[Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor]]" and "[[Blackwing Armor Master]]" from one's Graveyard, making it viable in the Extra Deck.  
 
−
 
 
−
==Weaknesses==
 
−
"Blackwing"s have some problems maintaining hand and field advantage due to the overwhelming speed with which "Blackwing"s are summoned, a player can (and often will) find his/her hand depleting quickly, thus lacking resources in case his/her plans goes wrong (such as in the case the opponent counters a massive Swarming with a mass-destruction card like "[[Torrential Tribute]]" or "[[Dark Hole]]".
 
−
"Blackwing"s can also fall to "[[Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror]]" as it will negate many of their powerful effects such as the effect of "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind]]" to halve the ATK and DEF of an opponents monster. "Blackwing"s swarming can be stopped by cards such as "[[Summon Limit]]". Also, an anti-DARK card, "[[Consecrated Light]]" is frequently a problem, and is best dispatched with cards like "[[Icarus Attack]]", although siding in "[[Skill Drain]]" prevents this to some extent. Most "Blackwing" support cards require a "Blackwing" monster to be on the field ("[[Icarus Attack]]" being the most important). A well played "[[Trap Stun]]" or "[[Seven Tools of the Bandit]]" can shut down these traps and place the opponent at a disadvantage.
 
−
 
 
−
"Blackwing"s require the initial Normal Summon to the field to start field presence negating that summon or immediately destroying that monster with a "[[Trap Hole]]" or similar card will prevent swarming for that turn.
 
−
 
 
−
Siding in "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn]]" is also surprisingly effective against "Blackwing"s, since "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn" can use the opponent's "Blackwing"s for his effect

"Blackwing", known as "Black Feather" (ＢＦ（ブラックフェザー） Burakku Fezā) in the Japanese version, is an archetype of monsters, debuting in Crimson Crisis, used by both Crow Hogan and Robert Pearson, with the former inheriting the Deck from the latter, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime. They were also used in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime by Crow's alternate universe counterpart. All members of this archetype are DARK Winged Beast monsters, except for the LIGHT "Blackwing - Aurora the Northern Lights" and the Warrior "Blackwing Tamer - Obsidian Hawk Joe".

Design[edit]

Linework

Most "Blackwing" monsters generally have a very bird-like appearance, with most Level 3 and lower members appearing as small birds while the Level 4 and higher monsters appearing to be either humanoids in bird-like outfits or humanoid birds. They also have a prominent black color-scheme in their design, usually on their wing feathering.

Playing style[edit]

The "Blackwing" archetype is focused on swarming monsters for Synchro Summoning, with a number of secondary focuses including hand trap-like effects, counter usage, ATK modulation, interactions with "Black-Winged Dragon", inflicting burn damage in multiples of 700, and non-standard methods of Special Summoning Synchro Monsters (e.g. the "GY Synchro" effect of "Vayu", which historically formed a deck known as "Vayu Turbo" or "Vayusworn" when paired up with self-milling cards like "Card Trooper" or "Lightsworn" monsters to turbo out its effect). Historical "Blackwing" Decks were played as control Decks focusing on using the archetype's excellent Normal Summons, backed up with the potential for swarming and combo plays. Later "Blackwing" Decks evolved into swarming-based combo Decks revolving around the searching power of "Black Whirlwind". "Blackwing" has a strong emphasis on swarming monsters from the hand. Most monsters have the ability to Special Summon themselves from the hand; others carry special effects that utilize the Graveyard and hand to advance the gamestate. Since all of the "Blackwing" monsters rely on the hand for swarming, "Black Whirlwind" allows them to replenish their resources while giving them the ability to toolbox into certain combo pieces. And when enough "Blackwing" cards have swarmed the field, support cards like "Delta Crow - Anti Reverse" and "Black Sonic" are granted additional effects that allow them to be activated from the hand. As a primarily DARK and Winged Beast Deck, the Deck benefits from their related Typing and Attribute support. Because most "Blackwing" cards do not impose any significant summoning restrictions, the Deck can use its swarming potential to pivot into a variety of non-"Blackwing" combos. In particular, "Raidraptor - Wise Strix" opens up a wide variety of combos involving Xyz Monsters, "Rank-Up-Magic", and even "The Phantom Knights of Rusty Bardiche", all the while operating under the DARK Extra Deck lock of combo starter "Simoon the Poison Wind".

DARK + Blackwing" Deck Recipe

Weaknesses[edit]

  • Aside from "Blackwing Full Armor Master", the archetype has a general lack of in-archetype boss monsters or easily searchable disruptions with field holding powers, and so often has to rely on the Xyz boss monsters and searchable disruptions provided by "Wise Strix" and "Rusty Bardiche" combos.
  • The search effect from "Black Whirlwind" is affected by effects that reduce ATK, such as "Burden of the Mighty" or "Solidarity", and the Deck's combos can be potentially disrupted by such effects.
  • Most "Blackwing" swarming effects require at least 1 "Blackwing" on the field as a precondition, so destroying the first summon of a "Blackwing" monster can potentially stop the Deck's combos.
  • "Blackwing" cards provide limited recovery options, making it difficult for the Deck to comeback should it be hit with an equalizer like "Torrential Tribute".
  • Due to the importance of searching for the Deck's combos, anti-search cards like "Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring", "Thunder King Rai-Oh", and "Droll & Lock Bird" can cripple the Deck's combos.
  • As a swarming-based Deck, the Deck is weak to "Nibiru, the Primal Being".
  • As a DARK Deck, the Deck is countered by anti-DARK cards like "Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror".
  • Since the Deck has some need for the GY to make plays, anti-GY cards like "Dimensional Fissure" can significantly disrupt the Deck's combos.
