"Galaxy" (ギャラクシー Gyarakushī) is an archetype of cards used by Kite Tenjo and Nelson Andrews in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. The monsters tend to be quite powerful, while the Spell and Trap Cards usually function as support or have synergy with the related "Photon" archetype. The archetype is geared towards quickly Summoning "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" as fast as possible.

Play Style

A "Galaxy" Deck focuses on Summoning several Level 8 monsters for Xyz Summons. By using "Accel Light" to Special Summon a "Galaxy Wizard", you can change its Level to 8, and using "Galaxy Expedition" to bring out "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", you can instantly bring out a Rank 8 Xyz Monster. You can later use "Galaxy Zero" to revive a Level 8 monster, Normal Summon "Galaxy Knight", and revive GEPD to overlay for "Neo Galaxy-Eyes".

"Galaxy Wizard" can search out most of the important Spells and Monsters in the Deck, but using its effect leaves your Life Points exposed. Because of this, it's recommended to use "Photon Thrasher" to maintain field presence, with the added bonus that "Thrasher" can be used with "Wizard" for Rank 4 Xyz Monsters like "Photoknight Paladius" and "Constellar Omega. Furthermore, Special Summoning "Thrasher" lets you Normal Summon "Galaxy Knight" without Tribute in the same turn. You can also use "Kuriphoton" to fend off OTKs, and return it to your hand by discarding a GEPD that you want to revive from the Graveyard.

Weaknesses

Because this Deck is focused on multiple large Special Summons for high damage, your opponent may slow you down with "Torrential Tribute" or "Solemn Warning". It's a good idea to run "Starlight Road" and extra Spell/Trap removal. If you're worried about "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo" you can use "Photon Crusher", and if you're worried about "Archlord Kristya", you can add "Honest".

This Deck is also heavily dependent on the Graveyard, so "Dimensional Fissure" and "Macro Cosmos" will prevent many of the Xyz combos.
