==Commonalities==
+
{{clear left}}
All of the Main Deck monsters have a common effect:<br> ''"Cannot be Normal Summoned, unless you control a "Ghostrick" monster. Once per turn: You can change this card to face-down Defense Position"''. <br><br>
 
Also, the Xyz Monsters, except for "[[Ghostrick Socuteboss]]" and "[[Ghostrick Angel of Mischief]]", share the following common effect: <br>
 
''"If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 other "Ghostrick" card in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand"''.
 
  
==Playing style==
+
===World Championship 2009===
"Ghostricks" are either Level (or Rank) 1 Fiend, 2 Spellcaster, or 3 Zombie-Type Monsters, with one Xyz Monster corresponding to each Level combination, except for "Ghostrick Angel of Mischief", who is a Rank 4 Fairy-type Monster.
 
  
They feature a variety of effects, mostly revolving around flipping monsters face-down (both yours and your opponent's) and protecting themselves as long as they are face-down. The three strata of monsters each follow a set of general effect guidelines:
+
[[File:Angel-DevilFusion-WC09.png|thumb|180px|left]]
  
* The Level 1 monsters have effects that trigger while in the hand, and they react to destruction, attacks and damage, providing bonuses and acting like hand traps; design-wise, they share a prankster, infantile appearance, maybe hinting to the "tricks" they play against the attacks of the opponent's monsters.
+
Summoned Skull appears as a Tag Duel opponent, partnered with [[Splendid Venus (character)|Splendid Venus]] as the '''Angel-Devil Fusion''' Tag Team. They are unlocked after the player wins in 5 Tag Tournaments.
  
* The Level 2 monsters have effects related to Battle Position control, allowing its controller to [[Ghostrick Doll|search]] for a monster or [[Ghostrick Nekomusume|stall]] the opponent's moves; they share a feminine, delicate, appearance.
+
{{-}}
  
* The Level 3 monsters all provide useful bonuses while they are face-up or when flipped face-up. Their effects range from [[Ghostrick Jiangshi|searching]] to [[Ghostrick Warwolf|burning]], or even [[Ghostrick Skeleton|milling the opponent's deck]] or [[Ghostrick Ghoul|giving bulk]] to a "Ghostrick" monster; their motif is basically of male figures of Halloween and Folklore.
+
==Decks==
  
The deck's main goal is to produce strong attackers over a prolonged game, which can attack directly using the field spells "[[Ghostrick Mansion]]", "[[Ghostrick Museum]]" though the archetype also contains elements of milling, burning, lockdwn and most recently an [[Ghostrick Angel of Mischief|Alternative Win Condition]].
+
===World Championship 2006===
 
 
Most of the Ghostrick monsters aren't strong by themselves, thus they're left relying heavily on getting "[[Ghostrick Mansion]]" on the board as soon as possible in order to launch several consecutive direct attacks early in the game. Since "Mansion" also protects any face-down monsters from attacks, it is easy to repeatedly activate Ghostrick monster's effects like "[[Ghostrick Jiangshi]]" and "[[Ghostrick Witch]]". "[[Ghostrick Scare]]", "[[Floodgate Trap Hole]]" and "[[Swords of Concealing Light]]" are also useful in this deck to provide disruptions and lockdown.
 
 
 
The support provided by the on-theme Spell/Trap Cards is also diverse, with effects that range from [[Ghostrick Vanish|protecting]] "Ghostrick" monsters from targeting and destroying effects, [[Ghostrick Scare|switching]] the battle position of opposing monsters, [[Ghostrick Break|reviving]] "Ghostrick" monsters and [[Ghostrick Night|locking]] the opponent from Flip Summoning. The only Spell Cards of the Deck is a trio of Field Spell Cards that share the common effect of allowing a player from attacking direcly if all opposing monsters are in face-down Defense Position. They can either [[Ghostrick Parade|search]] for resources, [[Ghostrick Museum|halve]] the battle damage and [[Ghostrick Museum|manipulating]] the battle position of the opponent's monsters.

==Weaknesses==
+
{{Characters|WC06, WC09}}
Despite this archetype's unorthodox "bait and switch"—like tactics, "Ghostricks" have many weaknesses. 
 
* First, cards like "[[Dark Simorgh]]", "[[Searchlightman]]", "[[Light of Intervention]]"  prevent "Ghostrick" monsters from being Set or flipped face-down in first place. Cards like "[[Jurrac Velphito]]" and "[[Search Striker]]" are also dangerous to "Ghostricks" because they destroy face-down monsters immediately without them ever flipping face-up. 
 
* The 6 Reptile elemental field wipers: "[[Destruction Cyclone]]", "[[Firestorm Prominence]]", "[[Silent Abyss]]", "[[Radiant Spirit]]", "[[Raging Earth]]", and "[[Umbral Soul]]" can also be devastating to a Ghostrick Deck. as they all have 2000 attack and 1500 defense, making them difficult to destroy in the first place, and when they are destroyed, they also destroy any card that is face down, along with anything that does not have the same element as them (WIND, FIRE, WATER, LIGHT, EARTH, and DARK respectively). While this makes "Umbral Soul" slightly less damaging than the others, even it still remains a major threat. 
 
* Other cards which prevent battle position changes, whether of the "Ghostrick" player's monsters or the opponent's, such as "[[Gaap the Divine Soldier]]" and "[[Gravity Axe - Grarl]]" can halt most, though often not all, of the "Ghostrick" player's moves. In addition, a monster Summoned by "[[Raging Cloudian]]" will be nearly impossible for the "Ghostrick" player to get rid of.
 
* "[[Goblin Fan]]" is a continuous trap that can destroy any monster card that is Level 2 or below the second it's Flip-summoned. This includes about 2/3 of the Ghostrick monsters, and since many of them rely on their Flip effects, rather than raw power, this one trap card can be devastating to any Ghostrick user's strategy.
 
* Most "Ghostricks" depends on their [[Field Spell Card]]s, "Ghostrick Mansion" or "Ghostrick Museum", to deal damage, and will struggle to do much [[Battle damage]] to your opponent without it, due to most of them having low ATK stats.  This can be even worse with cards like "[[Spell Shattering Arrow]]" and "[[Eradicator Epidemic Virus]]" around.
 
** Cards like "[[Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Malefic Stardust Dragon]]" or "[[Stardust Spark Dragon]]" can be used to protect it.
 
 
 
==Trivia==
 
* See also their history in the [[Gagaga Academy Tospedia card storylines#.22Ghostrick.22 Edition|Gagaga Academy Tospedia]].
 
 
 
* The "Ghostrick" monster's battle-flipping effects resemble the activities of children pranksters or mischievous spirits: popping out and scaring people, then running away and hiding. This is underscored by the archetype name "Ghostrick" a blatant portmanteau of the words "ghost" and "trick".
 
 
 
* The "Ghostrick" archetype was originally released in ''[[Shadow Specters]]'', which debuted in the U.S. in November 2013, and may have been intended to coincide with the celebration of [[wikipedia:Halloween|Halloween]]. The "Ghostrick" monsters are largely based on mythological creatures that children in the western world would dress up as for Halloween (witch, ghost, Jack-O'-Lantern, Frankenstein's Monster, Mummy, etc.), and their playstyle (as described above) mirrors the tradition of trick-or-treating.
 
 
 
* "Ghostrick" monsters' artworks share the background scheme with the "[[Lightsworn]]"s, as they have the same concept of patterning.
 
 
 
* While most [[Archetypes]] receive one supporting [[Field Spell Card]], the Ghostrick archetype is notable for having three; "[[Ghostrick Mansion]]", "[[Ghostrick Museum]]", and "[[Ghostrick Parade]]".
