| | | |
− | ==Playing style==
| + | Summoned Skull is a Limited Duel opponent, forbidding the player from using Effect Monsters. |
− | All of the Main Deck monsters have a common effect:
| |
− | :''"Cannot be Normal Summoned, unless you control a "Ghostrick" monster. Once per turn: You can change this card to face-down Defense Position"''.
| |
| | | |
− | Also, the Xyz Monsters, except for "[[Ghostrick Socuteboss]]" and "[[Ghostrick Angel of Mischief]]", share the following common effect:
| + | {{clear left}} |
− | :''"If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 other "Ghostrick" card in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand"''.
| |
| | | |
− | With the exception of the Rank 4 Fairy "Ghostrick Angel of Mischief", the Levels and Ranks of "Ghostrick" monsters are either 1, 2, or 3, with their Types differing based on their Level/Rank, being Fiend, Spellcaster, and Zombie respectively.
| + | ===World Championship 2009=== |
| | | |
− | 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 Fiend 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 Spellcaster 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 Zombie 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.
| |
− | * Firstly, cards like "[[Dark Simorgh]]", "[[Searchlightman]]", and "[[Light of Intervention]]" will 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.
| |
− | * 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.
| |
− | ** The debut of [[Link Monster]]s and Master Rule 4 have further aggravated this, as not only do they share battle postition immunity akin to "[[Raging Cloudian]]", but their essentiality to most swarm Decks makes avoiding them near close to impossible (though "[[Ghostrick Ghoul]]" and "[[Ghostrick Dullahan]]" can make quick work of them.)
| |
− | * "[[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]]" and "[[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.
| |
− | ** Ancient Gear Decks in particular will chew through Ghostricks, due to their ability to prevent the activation of the trap cards and effects that Ghostricks heavily rely on.
| |
− | | |
− | ==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.
