'''Supreme King''' ({{Ruby|覇|は}}{{Ruby|王|おう}} ''Haō'') is a [[series]] ([[archetype]] in the anime) of [[DARK]] [[Dragon]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] (with the exception of the [[Fiend]] "[[Supreme King Gate]]" archetype) used by [[Zarc]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]''. The series contains two archetypes (sub-archetypes in the anime): "[[Supreme King Dragon]]" and "[[Supreme King Gate]]". In the dub, the "Supreme King" [[Spell Card|Spell]]/[[Trap Card]]s are simply called "Supreme" cards.
+
"'''Supreme King'''" ({{Ruby|覇|は}}{{Ruby|王|おう}} ''Haō'') is a [[series]] ([[archetype]] in the anime) of [[DARK]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] used by [[Z-ARC]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]''. It contains two sub-themes: "[[Supreme King Dragon]]" and "[[Supreme King Gate]]"; to get around the fact that several monsters and nearly all [[Spell]]/[[Trap Card]]s with "Supreme King" in the Japanese name lack it in ''[[TCG]]'' languages, support intended for it focuses on those two archetypes or "[[Supreme King Z-ARC]]" specifically. In the ''[[OCG]]''/''TCG'', this series was further expanded with [[LIGHT]] [[counterpart]]s of some of their members and related cards, which provided additional versatility by including support for all cards that mention "Z-ARC".
 +
 
 +
==Playing style==
 +
===General===
 +
The Supreme King Deck's primary playing style is to quickly set up the methods of [[Summon]]ing, "[[Supreme King Z-ARC]]", and being able to use its associated support cards. This is primarily achieved with the "[[Supreme King Gate]]" and "[[Supreme King Dragon]]" archetypes. Using "[[Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm]]", the player can search a "Supreme King Gate" card, which serves as the series's main sources of a Pendulum Scale. Since both "[[Supreme King Gate Zero]]" and "[[Supreme King Gate Infinity]]" have [[Pendulum Scale]]s of 0 and 13 respectively, they can potentially allow for monsters of any [[Level]] to be [[Pendulum Summon]]ed, although "Infinity" carries a restriction of controlling no monsters in order to Pendulum Summon. Finally, "[[Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm]]" is a unique [[Tuner monster]] that can be Summoned from the Pendulum Zone in response to an opponent Summoning a monster. Upon being Summoned, it can recur a "Supreme King Gate" card and then immediately Synchro or Xyz Summon a "Supreme King Dragon" a monster and if Summoned by its Pendulum Effect, it can change its Level and Attribute to match those of another Pendulum Monster's (or vice-versa), allowing it to adapt to the material requirements of the monster intended to be Summoned. So far, the only "Supreme King Dragon" Synchro and Xyz Monsters include "[[Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing]]" (which can destroy all of the opponent's face-up monsters upon its Synchro Summon, as well as another effect to destroy a monster it battles with), and "[[Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion]]" (which has an ATK stealing effect but can also return itself from the field to the Extra Deck in exchange for Special Summoning two "Supreme King Gate/Dragon" monsters).
 +
 
 +
"Supreme King Z-ARC" boasts powerful stats and various powerful effects, having a board wipe upon its Summon, Special Summon more "Supreme King Dragon" monsters from the Deck or Extra Deck while passively gaining protection against the opponent's destruction or targeting effects. However, it has very difficult requirements to Summon it. "Z-ARC" also has a [[LIGHT]] counterpart, "[[Odd-Eyes Arcray Dragon]]" (who is always treated as "Supreme King Z-ARC") though it is more of a combo support piece rather than an overwhelming boss monster that the original "Z-ARC" serves.
 +
 
 +
To further aid the deck's efforts of Summoning "Z-ARC", the series carries a secondary focus on supporting the archetypes related to the [[Four Dimensional Dragons]]: "[[Fusion Dragon]]", "[[Synchro Dragon]]", "[[Xyz Dragon]]" and "[[Pendulum Dragon]]". Both "[[Astrograph Sorcerer]]" or "[[Chronograph Sorcerer]]" share the effect of being able to banish one monster from each of those archetypes to Special Summon "Z-ARC". "[[Supreme King Gate Magician]]" can also grab either "Zero" or "Infinity" onto the scale or if there already is a "Supreme King Gate" card on the scale, it can [[Special Summon]] itself by sending one member of the Four Dimensional Dragons' archetypes from the hand or Extra Deck. Upon its Special Summon, it can search a card that supports "Supreme King Z-ARC". Besides the "Supreme King Gate" and "Supreme King Dragon" cards, the searchable cards include:
  
−
== Playing style ==
+
*"[[Supreme Rage]]", a [[Normal Trap Card|Normal]] [[Trap Card|Trap]] that destroys all monsters other than "Z-ARC" in exchange for Summoning four "Supreme King Dragon" monsters from the Deck, Extra Deck, hand or GY.
−
The Supreme King Deck doesn't have a really articulated play style by itself given its small membership but can work effectively as an engine. Using "[[Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm]]", the player is capable of toolboxing into the "Supreme King Gates", the archetype's main sources of a Pendulum Scale. Since both "[[Supreme King Gate Zero]]" and "[[Supreme King Gate Infinity]]" have Scale values of 0 and 13 respectively, they can potentially allow for monsters of any Level to be Pendulum Summoned, although "Infinity" carries a restriction of controlling no monsters in order to [[Pendulum Summon]].
+
*"[[Soul of the Supreme King]]", a Normal Trap which can cheat out "Z-ARC" from the Extra Deck, then potentially exchange it with monsters of the Four Dimensional Dragons' archetypes.
 +
*"[[Wings of Light]]", a [[Quick-Play Spell Card|Quick-Play]] [[Spell Card|Spell]] which can search out any "Supreme King Dragon" or "Supreme King Gate" monster with the added bonus of Special Summoning it if "Z-ARC" is on the field. This enables triggering the search effects of "Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm" or "Supreme King Gate Magician" during the opponent's turn or trigger the on-Summon effect of "Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm" during the opponent's turn.  
 +
*"[[Soul of the Supreme Celestial King]]", a Normal Trap which can easily [[Fusion Summon]] "Z-ARC" by banishing its materials from everywhere else, allowing "Z-ARC's" on-Summon effect to wipe out the opponent's entire field during their turn. "Supreme King Magician" can search this card out and is an elligible monster to be Tributed for this card's activation requirements.
 +
*"[[Pendulum Evolution (card)|Pendulum Evolution]]", a [[Continuous Spell Card|Continuous Spell]] with various effects including exchanging a Pendulum Monster in hand with another Pendulum Monster with 2500 ATK from the Deck (which includes "Astrograph Sorcerer" and "Supreme King Gate Magician"), an extra Pendulum Summon or allowing "Z-ARC" to attack multiple monsters.
 +
*"[[Miracle of the Supreme King]]", a Normal Trap which has various effects that range from destroying "Z-ARC" in order to cheat out an "[[Odd-Eyes]]" Pendulum Monster or a LIGHT "Z-ARC" from the Main or Extra Deck, place a card from the face-up Extra Deck to the Pendulum Zone, or setting any Quick-Play Spell from the Deck. The former two effects essentially enable "Z-ARC" to be placed on the Pendulum Zone to make its Pendulum Effects live.
  
−
Since they cannot do enough on their own given they have few members, the archetype is thus better mixed with other Pendulum cards to maximize the benefits. The "Supreme King" archetype pairs extremely well with the "[[Magician (archetype)|Magician]]" archetype, especially "Zarc [[Magician (archetype)|Magician]]" monsters, consisting of "[[Double Iris Magician]]", "[[Black Fang Magician]]", "[[White Wing Magician]]" and "[[Purple Poison Magician]]" who provide a handful of benefits.

Since the series cannot do enough on its own given its few members, it is thus better to mix the series with other Pendulum cards to maximize the benefits. The Supreme King series pairs extremely well with the "[[Magician]]" archetype, especially the Z-ARC Magicians, consisting of "[[Double Iris Magician]]", "[[Black Fang Magician]]", "[[White Wing Magician]]" and "[[Purple Poison Magician]]", in addition to "Supreme King Gate Magician", which provide a handful of benefits. For starters, most of them are [[DARK]] monsters, so they cannot conflict with the [[Pendulum Effect]] of "Darkwurm". Secondly, their Pendulum Scales have values of 1 and 8, which mix well with the Supreme King series, since "Darkwurm" and "Lightwurm" are Level 4 and all "Supreme King Gate" cards are Level 7. Thirdly, as these "Magician" monsters are also members of the Four Dimensional Dragons' archetypes, they can be used along with "Astrograph Sorcerer" or "Chronograph Sorcerer" to Special Summon "Supreme King Z-ARC" or be sent to the GY to Special Summon "Supreme King Gate Magician". In addition, both "Astrograph Sorcerer" or "Chronograph Sorcerer" have Pendulum Effects that can destroy the cards themselves to take one "[[Stargazer Magician]]" or "[[Timegazer Magician]]" respectively, from the hand or Deck, then either Special Summon it or place it in the Pendulum Zone. Additionally, the effect of "Darkwurm" to Special Summon itself from the [[Graveyard]] makes it a useful [[discard]] fodder for cards such as "[[Pendulum Call]]", as the player can instantly gather the means for a Pendulum Summon for no cost and their Pendulum Scales will go uninterrupted.

Additionally, the effect of "Darkwurm" to Special Summon itself from the Graveyard makes it a useful discard fodder for cards such as "[[Pendulum Call]]" as the player can instantly gather the means for a Pendulum Summon for no cost and their Pendulum Scales will go uninterrupted.
+
Due to the "[[Odd-Eyes]]", "[[Performapal]]" and "Magician" archetypes having cards that support each other, the Supreme King series also benefits from some of the three archetypes' support cards. Noteworthy cards suitable for the Deck include "[[Performapal Duelist Extraordinaire]]" (search any "Supreme King Dragon" or "Supreme King Gate" monster, or "Soul of the Supreme King"), "[[Odd-Eyes Revolution Dragon]]" (search any of the "Supreme King Dragon" monsters) and "[[Performapal Skullcrobat Joker]]" (search any "Odd-Eyes", "Performapal" or "Magician" monster).  
  
−
As a result of this mixture the "Supreme King" archetype is capable of more moves, involving greater flexibility in both Pendulum Summon and other Summon mechanics, being able to perform Fusion, Synchro and Xyz Summon.  
+
As a result of this mixture, the Supreme King series is capable of more moves, involving greater flexibility in both Pendulum Summon and other Summons from the Extra Deck, being able to perform [[Fusion Summon|Fusion]], [[Synchro Summon|Synchro]], [[Xyz Summon]]s and [[Link Summon]]s.  
  
−
For Fusions, both "Zero" and "Infinity" can provide some help since "Zero" can destroy itself along with "Infinity" to search for any "Fusion" card that can help conduct a Fusion Summon, some useful choices including "[[Miracle Synchro Fusion]]" and "[[Odd-Eyes Fusion]]". Given the Deck's mostly DARK nature, they can also Fusion Summon "[[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon]]" (and most other "[[Predaplant]]" Fusion monsters, and "[[Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon]]", if need be).  
+
For [[Fusion Monster]]s besides "Supreme King Z-ARC", both "Zero" and "Infinity" can provide some help since "Zero" can destroy itself along with "Infinity" to search for any "[[Fusion (archetype)|Fusion]]" or "[[Polymerization (archetype)|Polymerization]]" Spell that can help perform a Fusion Summon, some useful choices including "[[Miracle Synchro Fusion]]", "[[Odd-Eyes Fusion]]", and "[[Pendulum Fusion]]". Given the Deck's mostly DARK nature, they can also Fusion Summon "[[Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom]]", "[[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon]]", "[[Starving Venemy Dragon]]", "[[Starving Venemy Lethal Dose Dragon]]" and most other "[[Predaplant]]" Fusion Monsters (alongside "[[Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon]]" if "Predaplant" monsters are used).  
  
−
For Synchro Summoning purposes, "[[White Wing Magician]]" being a Level 4 can open possibilities for either Level 7, 8, or even Level 11 Synchro Summoning when paired with either a Level 3, 4, or 7. Since unlike other [[Tuner Pendulum Monster|Tuner Pendulum Monsters]], she has no restriction on what she can Summon (but using her after being Pendulum Summoned will banish her), she is an ideal Tuner for generic Synchro Monsters such as "[[Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend|Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend"]], "[[PSY-Framelord Omega]]" or "[[Enlightenment Paladin]]". If needed other monsters can be used too, such as "[[Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit]]", "[[Timebreaker Magician]]" or "[[Noble Dragon Magician]]" can open up room for Level 7 Synchro Summoning such as "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]" or "[[Moonlight Rose Dragon]]". Some of these cards can combo well with "Miracle Synchro Fusion" as well.  
+
For [[Synchro Monster]]s, "White Wing Magician" and "Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm" being Level 4 [[Tuner monster]]s, can open possibilities for either Level 7, 8, or even Level 11 Synchro Monsters when paired with either a Level 3, 4, or 7 monster. Unlike other [[Tuner Pendulum Monster]]s, both "White Wing" and "Lightwurm" have no restrictions on what they can Summon or the [[material]]s being used alongside the Tuners (although using "White Wing" after being Pendulum Summoned will force the player to [[banish]] her), they are ideal Tuners for generic Synchro Monsters such as "[[Baronne de Fleur]]", "[[Borreload Savage Dragon]]", "[[PSY-Framelord Omega]]", or "[[Enlightenment Paladin]]". The Supreme King series' own "[[Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing]]" and "[[Supreme King Z-ARC - Synchro Universe]]" can be Summoned with any of the Deck's numerous DARK Pendulum Monsters. If needed, other monsters can be used too, such as "[[Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit]]", "[[Timegazer Magician]]" or "[[Noble Dragon Magician]]". They can open up room for Level 7 Synchro Monsters such as "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]", "[[Moonlight Rose Dragon]]", or "[[Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon]]". Some of these cards can combo well with "Miracle Synchro Fusion" as well.  
  
−
Finally, for Xyz Summoning, the archetype can gain easier access to either Rank 4 or Rank 7 monsters, ranging from utilitarian ones such as "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]" or "[[Timestar Magician]]" to the likes of "[[Number 11: Big Eye]]" or "[[Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon]]". "Darkwurm" is interesting due to its self-revival ability from the Graveyard which potentially mitigates some of the otherwise common and taxing cost of Pendulum-Xyz tactics. After dumping the "Z-ARC" Magicians by detaching them, they can then be banished for "Z-ARC".
+
For [[Xyz Monster]]s, the archetype can gain easier access to either [[Rank]] 4 or Rank 7 monsters, ranging from utilitarian ones such as "[[Abyss Dweller]]", "[[Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion]]", "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]", or "[[Timestar Magician]]" to the likes of "[[Number 11: Big Eye]]" or "[[Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon]]". "Darkwurm" is an interesting card to use as a material for Xyz Summons, due to its self-revival effect from the Graveyard after being detached which potentially mitigates some of the otherwise common and taxing cost of Pendulum-Xyz tactics. After detaching the Z-ARC Magicians, they can then be banished for "Z-ARC" with "Astrograph" or "Chronograph Sorcerer" or be revived by destroying "Black Fang Magician".  
  
−
For Pendulum Summoning, other additional and more mainstreamed cards such as "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]" or "[[Archfiend Eccentrick]]" can be useful as well. The former can search either of the "Gates" and many of the aforementioned "Magicians", while "Eccentrick" is an effective removal card. In other words, the "Supreme King" archetype is fairly flexible since they can be mixed with multiple cards and provide a handful of utilitarian uses.

As per the Master Rule 4, the deck loses its Pendulum Summon power. However, the player would often stand without Pendulum Summon as per the Pendulum Effect of "Infinity" thanks to the archetype's penchant for swarming and controlling the field through its "boss".  
+
As per the [[Master Rule 4]], the Deck loses much of its Pendulum Summon power. With "[[Link Monster]]s" now being required to allow Pendulum decks to Special Summon more than one Pendulum Monster from their face-up Extra Deck, the deck must use some monsters of the Supreme King series and "Magician", "Odd-Eyes" and "Performapal" archetypes that can freely Special Summon monsters to be used as [[Link Material]]s to [[Link Summon]] a [[Link Monster]] before conducting a Pendulum Summon to recur them back for more Extra Deck Special Summons, namely "Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm" and "Supreme King Gate Magician" while "Astrograph" and "Chronograph" have Pendulum Effects to Special Summon one specific monster, or have monster effects in the hand to Special Summon themselves (and another monster on hand in the case of "Chronograph") whenever a card is destroyed. These can be used to Link Summon very useful choices that further helps with any Pendulum strategy including "[[Beyond the Pendulum]]", "[[Heavymetalfoes Electrumite]]" and "[[Exceed the Pendulum]]". After the Pendulum Summon, the player can convert any monsters that could not be used as materials for a Fusion, Synchro or Xyz Summon into strong generic Link Monsters such as "[[Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess]]", and this also enables an Xyz Summoned "Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon" to replace itself with "[[Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon]]" for its negate when used as a Link Material.
  
−
After swarming the [[Field]] with weaker monsters, the player can bring out "Supreme King Dragon" Extra Deck Monsters and use them to press the opponent. After your opponent gets rid of them and you managed to get "Z-ARC" on the field, you can use "[[Supreme Rage]]" to devastate, or even finish the opponent.
+
After [[swarm]]ing the [[field]] with weaker monsters, the player can set up a powerful endboard consisting of Extra Deck monsters with several generic disruptions any Pendulum deck can output. If going first, their end board will also be supplemented by a Set "Soul of the Supreme Celestial King" being able to Fusion Summon "Supreme King Z-ARC" to wipe out whatever is left of the opponent's board after the opponent trades with their disruptions and/or cripple the opponent with the Pendulum Effects of "Supreme King Z-ARC". Going second, the player can Special Summon "Supreme King Z-ARC" to make use of its boardwipe effect to level the field, leaving them clear for game-winning attacks.

===Weaknesses===
−
* Since they are a Pendulum archetype, they are vulnerable to cards such as "[[Anti-Spell Fragrance]]" which can shut them down in the spot.
+
* Since Supreme King is a [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum]] series, they are vulnerable to cards such as "[[Anti-Spell Fragrance]]" and "[[Dimensional Barrier]]" which can shut them down on the spot.
 
* Their small membership demands that the player mixes them with something else to make the most of it, and thus more than likely adopt that Deck's weaknesses as well.

−
* "Infinity" can be more trouble than an aid due to its "no monster" clause to perform a Pendulum Summon.

* "[[Supreme King Gate Infinity]]" can be more trouble than an aid due to its no monster [[condition]] to perform a [[Pendulum Summon]] with (unless it is used for the "Fusion"/"Polymerization" search Pendulum Effect of "Supreme King Gate Zero").

* The player should also prioritize which summoning mechanic to boost while mixing and be selective of the cards to use for that purpose, as using too many cards can lead to unfortunate draws.

"Supreme King" (覇（は）王（おう） Haō) is a series (archetype in the anime) of DARK monsters used by Z-ARC in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V. It contains two sub-themes: "Supreme King Dragon" and "Supreme King Gate"; to get around the fact that several monsters and nearly all Spell/Trap Cards with "Supreme King" in the Japanese name lack it in TCG languages, support intended for it focuses on those two archetypes or "Supreme King Z-ARC" specifically. In the OCG/TCG, this series was further expanded with LIGHT counterparts of some of their members and related cards, which provided additional versatility by including support for all cards that mention "Z-ARC".

Playing style

General

The Supreme King Deck's primary playing style is to quickly set up the methods of Summoning, "Supreme King Z-ARC", and being able to use its associated support cards. This is primarily achieved with the "Supreme King Gate" and "Supreme King Dragon" archetypes. Using "Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm", the player can search a "Supreme King Gate" card, which serves as the series's main sources of a Pendulum Scale. Since both "Supreme King Gate Zero" and "Supreme King Gate Infinity" have Pendulum Scales of 0 and 13 respectively, they can potentially allow for monsters of any Level to be Pendulum Summoned, although "Infinity" carries a restriction of controlling no monsters in order to Pendulum Summon. Finally, "Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm" is a unique Tuner monster that can be Summoned from the Pendulum Zone in response to an opponent Summoning a monster. Upon being Summoned, it can recur a "Supreme King Gate" card and then immediately Synchro or Xyz Summon a "Supreme King Dragon" a monster and if Summoned by its Pendulum Effect, it can change its Level and Attribute to match those of another Pendulum Monster's (or vice-versa), allowing it to adapt to the material requirements of the monster intended to be Summoned. So far, the only "Supreme King Dragon" Synchro and Xyz Monsters include "Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing" (which can destroy all of the opponent's face-up monsters upon its Synchro Summon, as well as another effect to destroy a monster it battles with), and "Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion" (which has an ATK stealing effect but can also return itself from the field to the Extra Deck in exchange for Special Summoning two "Supreme King Gate/Dragon" monsters).

"Supreme King Z-ARC" boasts powerful stats and various powerful effects, having a board wipe upon its Summon, Special Summon more "Supreme King Dragon" monsters from the Deck or Extra Deck while passively gaining protection against the opponent's destruction or targeting effects. However, it has very difficult requirements to Summon it. "Z-ARC" also has a LIGHT counterpart, "Odd-Eyes Arcray Dragon" (who is always treated as "Supreme King Z-ARC") though it is more of a combo support piece rather than an overwhelming boss monster that the original "Z-ARC" serves.

To further aid the deck's efforts of Summoning "Z-ARC", the series carries a secondary focus on supporting the archetypes related to the Four Dimensional Dragons: "Fusion Dragon", "Synchro Dragon", "Xyz Dragon" and "Pendulum Dragon". Both "Astrograph Sorcerer" or "Chronograph Sorcerer" share the effect of being able to banish one monster from each of those archetypes to Special Summon "Z-ARC". "Supreme King Gate Magician" can also grab either "Zero" or "Infinity" onto the scale or if there already is a "Supreme King Gate" card on the scale, it can Special Summon itself by sending one member of the Four Dimensional Dragons' archetypes from the hand or Extra Deck. Upon its Special Summon, it can search a card that supports "Supreme King Z-ARC". Besides the "Supreme King Gate" and "Supreme King Dragon" cards, the searchable cards include:

  • "Supreme Rage", a Normal Trap that destroys all monsters other than "Z-ARC" in exchange for Summoning four "Supreme King Dragon" monsters from the Deck, Extra Deck, hand or GY.
  • "Soul of the Supreme King", a Normal Trap which can cheat out "Z-ARC" from the Extra Deck, then potentially exchange it with monsters of the Four Dimensional Dragons' archetypes.
  • "Wings of Light", a Quick-Play Spell which can search out any "Supreme King Dragon" or "Supreme King Gate" monster with the added bonus of Special Summoning it if "Z-ARC" is on the field. This enables triggering the search effects of "Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm" or "Supreme King Gate Magician" during the opponent's turn or trigger the on-Summon effect of "Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm" during the opponent's turn.
  • "Soul of the Supreme Celestial King", a Normal Trap which can easily Fusion Summon "Z-ARC" by banishing its materials from everywhere else, allowing "Z-ARC's" on-Summon effect to wipe out the opponent's entire field during their turn. "Supreme King Magician" can search this card out and is an elligible monster to be Tributed for this card's activation requirements.
  • "Pendulum Evolution", a Continuous Spell with various effects including exchanging a Pendulum Monster in hand with another Pendulum Monster with 2500 ATK from the Deck (which includes "Astrograph Sorcerer" and "Supreme King Gate Magician"), an extra Pendulum Summon or allowing "Z-ARC" to attack multiple monsters.
  • "Miracle of the Supreme King", a Normal Trap which has various effects that range from destroying "Z-ARC" in order to cheat out an "Odd-Eyes" Pendulum Monster or a LIGHT "Z-ARC" from the Main or Extra Deck, place a card from the face-up Extra Deck to the Pendulum Zone, or setting any Quick-Play Spell from the Deck. The former two effects essentially enable "Z-ARC" to be placed on the Pendulum Zone to make its Pendulum Effects live.

Since the series cannot do enough on its own given its few members, it is thus better to mix the series with other Pendulum cards to maximize the benefits. The Supreme King series pairs extremely well with the "Magician" archetype, especially the Z-ARC Magicians, consisting of "Double Iris Magician", "Black Fang Magician", "White Wing Magician" and "Purple Poison Magician", in addition to "Supreme King Gate Magician", which provide a handful of benefits. For starters, most of them are DARK monsters, so they cannot conflict with the Pendulum Effect of "Darkwurm". Secondly, their Pendulum Scales have values of 1 and 8, which mix well with the Supreme King series, since "Darkwurm" and "Lightwurm" are Level 4 and all "Supreme King Gate" cards are Level 7. Thirdly, as these "Magician" monsters are also members of the Four Dimensional Dragons' archetypes, they can be used along with "Astrograph Sorcerer" or "Chronograph Sorcerer" to Special Summon "Supreme King Z-ARC" or be sent to the GY to Special Summon "Supreme King Gate Magician". In addition, both "Astrograph Sorcerer" or "Chronograph Sorcerer" have Pendulum Effects that can destroy the cards themselves to take one "Stargazer Magician" or "Timegazer Magician" respectively, from the hand or Deck, then either Special Summon it or place it in the Pendulum Zone. Additionally, the effect of "Darkwurm" to Special Summon itself from the Graveyard makes it a useful discard fodder for cards such as "Pendulum Call", as the player can instantly gather the means for a Pendulum Summon for no cost and their Pendulum Scales will go uninterrupted.

Due to the "Odd-Eyes", "Performapal" and "Magician" archetypes having cards that support each other, the Supreme King series also benefits from some of the three archetypes' support cards. Noteworthy cards suitable for the Deck include "Performapal Duelist Extraordinaire" (search any "Supreme King Dragon" or "Supreme King Gate" monster, or "Soul of the Supreme King"), "Odd-Eyes Revolution Dragon" (search any of the "Supreme King Dragon" monsters) and "Performapal Skullcrobat Joker" (search any "Odd-Eyes", "Performapal" or "Magician" monster).

As a result of this mixture, the Supreme King series is capable of more moves, involving greater flexibility in both Pendulum Summon and other Summons from the Extra Deck, being able to perform Fusion, Synchro, Xyz Summons and Link Summons.

For Fusion Monsters besides "Supreme King Z-ARC", both "Zero" and "Infinity" can provide some help since "Zero" can destroy itself along with "Infinity" to search for any "Fusion" or "Polymerization" Spell that can help perform a Fusion Summon, some useful choices including "Miracle Synchro Fusion", "Odd-Eyes Fusion", and "Pendulum Fusion". Given the Deck's mostly DARK nature, they can also Fusion Summon "Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom", "Starving Venom Fusion Dragon", "Starving Venemy Dragon", "Starving Venemy Lethal Dose Dragon" and most other "Predaplant" Fusion Monsters (alongside "Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon" if "Predaplant" monsters are used).

For Synchro Monsters, "White Wing Magician" and "Supreme King Dragon Lightwurm" being Level 4 Tuner monsters, can open possibilities for either Level 7, 8, or even Level 11 Synchro Monsters when paired with either a Level 3, 4, or 7 monster. Unlike other Tuner Pendulum Monsters, both "White Wing" and "Lightwurm" have no restrictions on what they can Summon or the materials being used alongside the Tuners (although using "White Wing" after being Pendulum Summoned will force the player to banish her), they are ideal Tuners for generic Synchro Monsters such as "Baronne de Fleur", "Borreload Savage Dragon", "PSY-Framelord Omega", or "Enlightenment Paladin". The Supreme King series' own "Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing" and "Supreme King Z-ARC - Synchro Universe" can be Summoned with any of the Deck's numerous DARK Pendulum Monsters. If needed, other monsters can be used too, such as "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit", "Timegazer Magician" or "Noble Dragon Magician". They can open up room for Level 7 Synchro Monsters such as "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon", "Moonlight Rose Dragon", or "Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon". Some of these cards can combo well with "Miracle Synchro Fusion" as well.

For Xyz Monsters, the archetype can gain easier access to either Rank 4 or Rank 7 monsters, ranging from utilitarian ones such as "Abyss Dweller", "Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion", "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon", or "Timestar Magician" to the likes of "Number 11: Big Eye" or "Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon". "Darkwurm" is an interesting card to use as a material for Xyz Summons, due to its self-revival effect from the Graveyard after being detached which potentially mitigates some of the otherwise common and taxing cost of Pendulum-Xyz tactics. After detaching the Z-ARC Magicians, they can then be banished for "Z-ARC" with "Astrograph" or "Chronograph Sorcerer" or be revived by destroying "Black Fang Magician".

For Pendulum Monsters, other additional and more mainstreamed cards such as "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" or "Archfiend Eccentrick" can be useful as well. The former can search either of the "Supreme King Gate" monsters and many of the aforementioned "Magicians", while "Eccentrick" is an effective removal card. In other words, the Supreme King series is fairly flexible since they can be mixed with multiple cards and provide a handful of utilitarian uses.

As per the Master Rule 4, the Deck loses much of its Pendulum Summon power. With "Link Monsters" now being required to allow Pendulum decks to Special Summon more than one Pendulum Monster from their face-up Extra Deck, the deck must use some monsters of the Supreme King series and "Magician", "Odd-Eyes" and "Performapal" archetypes that can freely Special Summon monsters to be used as Link Materials to Link Summon a Link Monster before conducting a Pendulum Summon to recur them back for more Extra Deck Special Summons, namely "Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm" and "Supreme King Gate Magician" while "Astrograph" and "Chronograph" have Pendulum Effects to Special Summon one specific monster, or have monster effects in the hand to Special Summon themselves (and another monster on hand in the case of "Chronograph") whenever a card is destroyed. These can be used to Link Summon very useful choices that further helps with any Pendulum strategy including "Beyond the Pendulum", "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" and "Exceed the Pendulum". After the Pendulum Summon, the player can convert any monsters that could not be used as materials for a Fusion, Synchro or Xyz Summon into strong generic Link Monsters such as "Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess", and this also enables an Xyz Summoned "Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon" to replace itself with "Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon" for its negate when used as a Link Material.

After swarming the field with weaker monsters, the player can set up a powerful endboard consisting of Extra Deck monsters with several generic disruptions any Pendulum deck can output. If going first, their end board will also be supplemented by a Set "Soul of the Supreme Celestial King" being able to Fusion Summon "Supreme King Z-ARC" to wipe out whatever is left of the opponent's board after the opponent trades with their disruptions and/or cripple the opponent with the Pendulum Effects of "Supreme King Z-ARC". Going second, the player can Special Summon "Supreme King Z-ARC" to make use of its boardwipe effect to level the field, leaving them clear for game-winning attacks.

Weaknesses

  • Since Supreme King is a Pendulum series, they are vulnerable to cards such as "Anti-Spell Fragrance" and "Dimensional Barrier" which can shut them down on the spot.
  • Their small membership demands that the player mixes them with something else to make the most of it, and thus more than likely adopt that Deck's weaknesses as well.
  • "Supreme King Gate Infinity" can be more trouble than an aid due to its no monster condition to perform a Pendulum Summon with (unless it is used for the "Fusion"/"Polymerization" search Pendulum Effect of "Supreme King Gate Zero").
  • The player should also prioritize which Summoning mechanic to boost while mixing and be selective of the cards to use for that purpose, as using too many cards can lead to unfortunate draws.

Official Decks

By combining "Maximum Crisis" with "Structure Deck: Pendulum Evolution", you'll have a Deck centered around Fusion Summoning "Supreme King Z-ARC". So challenge people with your Pendulum Deck! [1]

A Deck that fights using the 5 different "Supreme King Dragons". By banishing the "Supreme King Dragons" with the effect of cards like "Hyper Synchron" or "Dragon's Mirror", and then using the effect of "Doomsday Horror" to return them to the Graveyard, you'll be able to fulfill the conditions for activating "Supreme Rage". [2]

A Deck Recipe based on Summoning "Supreme King Z-ARC" in a single turn.

By using the effect of "Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio" that can be used when it's Normal or Special Summoned, you can send "Destrudo, the Lost Dragon's Frisson" from your hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon "Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra" from the Deck, and with the effect of "Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra", you can add "Miracle Synchro Fusion" from the Deck to the hand.

Then you activate "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon" (or "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon") in your Pendulum Zone.

Next you Special Summon "Destrudo, the Lost Dragon's Frisson" by lowering its Level by the Level of a "Predaplant" on the field, then use it and that "Predaplant" monster as materials to Synchro Summon "Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon", who you then use its 1st effect to Special Summon "Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon" (or "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon") from your Pendulum Zone, then use those two to Xyz Summon "Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon".

From there, use that "Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon" and the other "Predaplant" monster to Link Summon "Code Talker" to the Extra Monster Zone, which means you can use the 2nd effect of "Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon" (that activates when it's sent to the Graveyard) to Special Summon "Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon" from the Extra Deck to the Main Monster Zone that "Code Talker" points to.

And finally, you activate "Miracle Synchro Fusion" to Fusion Summon "Supreme King Z-ARC". [3]

"Supreme King Z-ARC" Deck

(One of 69 Rental Decks designed to teach how to play certain Decks. These are available at various participating stores.)

Let's summon the trump card "Supreme King Z-ARC" with the effect of "Astrograph Sorcerer"! First of all it is necessary to prepare the would-be Material monsters, so let's gather the Dragons of each summoning method and the "Magician" monsters treated as them in your hand, field, and/or Graveyard! Use the "Supreme King Gate" monsters as well to gather the monsters necessary for Summoning "Supreme King Z-ARC".

"Duelist Alliance" can add the necessary cards to your hand according to the situation. Since "Iris Magician" is also a "Pendulum Dragon" card, so you can choose it! [4]
