Constructor, known as Mythic Sword (げん Genba) in Japanese, is a series of EARTH Wyrm monsters, debuting in Deck Mod Pack: Destined Power Destruction!! and used by Asana Mutsuba and her manga counterpart in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime and the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS Luke! Explosive Supremacy Legend!! manga, briefly by Taiyo Asobe in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel LP manga, and Asaka Mutsuba in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! anime. "Genba" (げん) is homophonous with "on site" (現場), as a reference to excavation sites.

The Blisstopia series of Field Spells is related to and supports this series.

Design

The Constructor crest

Constructor monsters appear as dragons or lizards dressed as construction workers or wielding construction equipment, and each monster's name is derived from tools related to the construction site.

All Level 7 or higher Constructor monsters (including all three pieces of "Wyrm Excavator") feature the same six-pointed crest engraved in their armor.

Playing style

The main gameplan of the Constructor series is to use Field Spells, especially the Blisstopia series, to quickly Summon many high-Level monsters in a single turn while using relatively very few cards in hand, giving the Deck amazing comeback power and card advantage retention. The main play is to use "Constructor Sky Wyrm Gantry Dragon" while controlling any Field Spell to Special Summon "Constructor Wyrm Buildragon" from the Graveyard, then use the effect of "Buildragon" to Summon "Constructor Demolisher Wyrm Drake Crush" from the Graveyard, fielding 3 boss monsters for the cost of only 1. Alternatively, "Buildragon" can instead Summon "Constructor Princess Pylon" to play into the powerful Fusion Monster "Infinite Constructor Wyrm Buildream".

The best Field Spells to use are "Silvermountain of Blisstopia", which can further reduce the cost of Summoning a full field of boss monsters to only 2 cards in hand, or "Peaks of Blisstopia", which can increase the ATK of each monster to overwhelming levels to destroy opposing boss monsters in battle and/or execute a One Turn Kill.

Since the Deck can create a strong board from few cards in hand, it will often have cards spare and can afford to play many Spell/Trap Cards, potentially ones with discard costs such as "Constructor Ambush" or "Cranked to Ten!!" to make use of the extra cards. Alternatively, the low cost of Summoning can allow the Deck to continue to play aggressively while gathering in hand the pieces to the theme's Maximum Monster, "Wyrm Excavator the Heavy Cavalry Draco", which can gain extremely high ATK even during the opponent's turn using its "[L]" effect, making it difficult to destroy by battle.

Other notable cards in the series include "Picklon the Constructor Fairy", which can help get "Buildragon", "Drake Crush", and "Pylon" in the Graveyard where they can be Special Summoned, and "Constructor Blockade" and "Constructor Resurrection", which offer defense. By playing "Vegetation of Blisstopia", the theme can also be mixed with generic EARTH monsters, such as "Bascule the Moving Fortress", which can help send "Buildragon", "Drake Crush", and "Pylon" to the Graveyard and revive "Drake Crush".

Weaknesses

  • Since "Gantry Dragon", "Buildragon", and "Buildrim" all need a Field Spell on the field to activate, their consistency can be reduced by destroying the active Field Spell whenever possible.
  • Since all high-Level Main Deck monsters in the series except "Drake Crush" have 2500 original ATK, the series is vulnerable to "Hardefense Mission" and especially "Eternal Freeze".
