→Play Style: hooray for improvements, move over March of the monarchs
The Wicked Gods themselves possess high-unstoppable effects that can easily turn the game in your favor, but they are considerably harder to get out than their [[Sacred Beasts|Sacred Beast]] Counterparts. While each God does have rather simpler summoning requirements, they are not special summons. They also require 3 tributes each and cannot be used with [[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]. Thus, monsters who survive battles, ones with high def, or those who you can special summon/summon multiple copies of in a single turn should be used, or monsters that can not be destroyed by battle. "[[Double Coston]]", while being neither of these, counts as two tributes, which is excellent as it reduces the Gods back down to two tributers. Ideally you should use it when you can summon more than once in a single turn, such as with [[Double Summon]] or [[Ultimate Offering]], and have at least one other monster to tribute. Monsters that summon multiple copies of themselves, such as [[Nimble Momonga]] and [[Hyena]], are also good. Cards that summon tributable tokens and Trap monsters are especially useful, as the former can rapidly generate tribute fodder while the latter can be used as both a surprise defense and as readily accessible tribute fodder (this is even more useful if you have "Double Coston" and "Double Summon", as the two cards can be used in conjunction with an already-set Trap Monster to instantly bring out the Wicked God).
The Wicked Gods themselves lack Spell and Trap protection, thus are quite a bit more vulnerable when used against an opponent who uses a lot of monster removal. "Royal Decree" and , [[March of the Monarchs]], and [[Mound of the Bound Creator]] can help, as the Wicked Gods are aggressive and it would be devastating to run into "Sakuretsu Armor", "Mirror Force", or "Magic Cylinder". However, "Royal Decree" will prevent you from using Trap Cards. In a pinch, however, you can use "[[Interdimensional Matter Transporter]]" to momentarily save a Wicked God from destruction.
As mentioned before, Wicked Gods themselves are attack oriented ("The Wicked Eraser" being an exception). Since they already have exorbitant attacks, "[[Big Bang Shot]]" and "[[Fairy Meteor Crush]]" can help to inflict massive damage. They are also excellent candidates for cards such as "[[Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce]]" and "[[Shooting Star Bow - Ceal]]", as their ATKs will be sufficiently high enough to not be hampered by the attack loss. Be aware of the effect of "The Wicked Avatar": its stats are based on the highest ATK on the field, not DEF. Thus do not run into random face-down monsters unless you have a reasonably high ATK, as their destruction will not be ensured otherwise.
As you are likely to exhaust many resources with the summoning of one God, "Pot of Avarice" might be a good choice. This can be especially deadly combined with "Nimble Momonga" and any other searcher monsters, as their effects makes the drawback of deck thickening almost nonexistent. The Wicked Gods themselves cannot be special summoned, so this is a good way to recycle them back into the Deck without having to use a dedicated card for the job.
Another version of this Deck is to thoroughly abuse the swarming and resurrection abilities of the Zombies to make summoning the Wicked Gods even faster. With "[[Double Coston]]" as a Level 4 Zombie that can benefit from "[[Mezuki]]" and the revival effects of "[[Zombie Master]]", you can summon fast, hit hard, and protect your Wicked God from being destroyed by Synchro Summoning "[[Stardust Dragon]]" or Spamming Rank 4s should a God not be availible. Also worth noting is [[March of the Monarchs]] and [[Mound of the Bound Creator]], it both effectively give the Gods their Anime/Manga immunity effects allowing you to abuse field nukes like [[Torrential Tribute]]with mound allowing for further damage whenever they destroy monsters in battle, allowing the Avatar in particular to deal more significant damage and without locking out the extra deck. The [[Gogogo]] archetype can also be used for their quick chain summoning abilities.
