A Gradius Deck revolves around the use of the cards "[[Gradius]]" or "[[Victory Viper XX03]]" along with their support cards. The main strategy is to protect your monsters from traps with the effect of "[[Jade Knight]]" and boost them all with cards you can activate during damage calculation. The majority of the Deck's monsters have effects that trigger whenever it attacks and destroys an opposing monster; these effects involve increasing their own [[ATK]], destroying opposing cards, and especially summoning more monsters. As a result, a Gradius Deck operates under a [[Swarm]]/[[OTK]] hybrid, which is augmented by additional ATK-boosting cards such as [[United We Stand]]. Another effective strategy is to utilize cards that drop opposing ATK scores, such as [[Gearspring Spirit]]. | A Gradius Deck revolves around the use of the cards "[[Gradius]]" or "[[Victory Viper XX03]]" along with their support cards.

If one wishes to incorporate Gradius, the player has access to the many support cards that come with being a low-ATK Normal Light Machine. A pair of Gradius may be searched using Rescue Rabbit, which can be used to Xyz Summon [[Gear Gigant X]] to search another Machine from the Deck or [[Starliege Paladynamo]] to overcome a difficult monster. [[Gradius' Option]] is a monster that can be automatically summoned when Gradius is out, and by using a combination of a Level 1 Tuner such as [[Mono Synchron]] or [[Unknown Synchron]] as well as [[Lightwave Tuning]], it is plausible to summon [[Shooting Star Dragon]] the opening turn. The player may also wish to incorporate other Normal Machines to supplement Rescue Rabbit, such as the Tuner [[Genex Controller]] or the high-ATK [[Mechanicalchaser]], or any other possible Normal Machine. Keep in mind that since Genex Controller and Mechanicalchaser are both Dark monsters, it highly increases the playability of [[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]]. | If one wishes to incorporate Gradius, the player has access to the many support cards that come with being a low-ATK Normal Light Machine.

| − | == | + | ==Cyber-Gradius Deck== |
| − | + | This deck presents some similarities to the popular [[Lightsworns|Lightsworn Deck]], as it needs a lot of [[Mill]] effects to have a lot of Machine-type monsters in the [[Graveyard]] and on the field to use the effect of [[Cyber Eltanin]] to clear your opponent's field and attack it directly for an OTK, but be careful, your opponent's [[Spell Card| Spells]] & [[Trap Card| Traps]] won't be destroyed, so the use of [[Heavy Storm]], [[Giant Trunade]], [[Cold Wave]], along with [[Counter Trap Cards]] can totally clear your opponent's field or save you from devastating effects like [[Mirror Force]], [[Magic Cylinder]], or [[Torrential Tribute]]. | |
| − | + | Additionally, this deck presents some advantages to the Lightsworn Deck, the first one is that the player using this deck can see what to discard, since cards are discarded from the hand and not from the top of the deck, and also this deck is almost immune to "[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]" and "[[Messenger of Peace]]", but it still having a lot of ATK because of the using of "Honest" and cards like "[[Beckoning Light]]" to recover the Honests and send more spaceships to the [[Graveyard]]. | |
| − | + | If "Cyber Dragon" is in this deck, "[[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]]" can also be used as an emergency card in the extra deck. Also, only a few [[Trap Card]]s are used in this deck, only the staples ("Solemn Judgement" and "Torrential Tribute") and semi-staples ("Raigeki Break") and the "Beckoning Light" because it is a great engine in the functionality of this deck. | |
