Dark Simorgh Lockdown
This Lockdown prevents your opponent from activating Spells, Traps, and Monster Flip Effects (without the help of "Book of Moon", which is stopped by this combo). "Anti-Spell Fragrance" forces your opponent to set Spell Cards before use but "Dark Simorgh" prevents your opponent from setting any cards, so they won't be able to use Spell Cards or Trap Cards at all! (save "Delta Crow - Anti Reverse", which can't break the lockdown)
- Anti-Spell Fragrance
- Dark Simorgh
- 3 Ground Collapse (optional)
First, start with a "Giant Trunade" (if they have set Spell or Trap Cards already), to prevent your opponent from interrupting your lock and fouling up your plans. Then, set "Anti-Spell Fragrance" and Special Summon "Dark Simorgh". During your opponent's Standby Phase, activate "Anti-Spell Fragrance" and the lockdown will be complete. The only thing that can stop this is a "Mystical Space Typhoon" from the player's hand. You opponent will be incapable of setting Monster, Spell, and Trap Cards which means that the only effects they'll be able to use are Monster Effects.. Being unable to set monsters to defend, their lifepoints will be at your mercy, and their only escape from this lock would be defeating Dark Simorgh in battle, or using monster effects to destroy your locking cards, things you will prevent with cards such as My Body as a Shield and Divine Wrath.
There's an absolute lock using "Dark Simorgh" but it is very difficult to pull off. The lockdown uses "Simorgh", "Anti-Spell Fragrance", and "The Last Warrior from Another Planet". You must Special Summon "Dark Simorgh" and "The Last Warrior" during the same turn (do not forget to use "Book of Moon" or "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" on "The Last Warrior") then chain "Anti-Spell Fragrance" to "Book of Moon" or "IMT". Right now, you opponent is unable to activate Spell and Trap Cards due to the "Anti-Spell Fragrance" Lock, and is unable to Summon or Set monsters due to The Last Warrior. Yet, Spiritualism cannot be used against that, as none of the above cards "negate" effects.
