Worshippers of the Sacred Phoenix

Once destroyed, the "Nephthys" shall rise to be stronger. Draw out their mystical powers as you battle your way to victory,

and maybe you'll even get a glimpse of the legendary flaming phoenix!

Worshippers of the Sacred Phoenix is a Solo Mode Gate in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel and focuses on the Nephthys archetype.

Like most Gates in Solo Mode, each Duel can be played with either the player's own Deck or a provided Loaner Deck fitting the theme of the Gate, with separate rewards for each. Completing this gate for the first time unlocks the "Roused from Destruction" Secret Pack for 24 hours.

• Reward: 150

Chapter 3: Duel 1

Your opponent is trying to use their trump card, "Cerulean Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys." "Cerulean Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys" will allow your opponent to destroy cards on your field equal to the number of "Nephthys" cards they destroy from their own hand or field, but this will not set them back as it will also unlock various "Nephthys" monsters' effects for them.

However, "Nephthys" monsters that have been destroyed will still need a bit of time to activate their effects. During this delay, make sure you have a way of weakening your opponent effectively. Depending on the circumstances, it may be wisest to destroy "Cerulean Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys" with a card like "Raigeki."

• Reward (Loaner): "Ritual Sealing" x3
• Reward (My Deck): "Brushfire Knight" x3

Loaner Deck

Summon Ritual Monsters and draw upon the power of the ace card, "Nephthys, the Sacred Flame." The Link Summon of "Nephthys, the Sacred Flame" only requires 1 Ritual Monster and any other monster, but if you use 3 Ritual Monsters as Link Materials, you can maximize the monster's power and have it play a key role in the Duel.

Chapter 4.2: Duel 2

Your opponent is Dueling with a "Nephthys" and "Fire King" hybrid Deck. Both archetypes have monsters whose effects activate upon being destroyed, so pay attention to what kinds of effects activate and when they activate.

"Majespecter Storm" is a great card for taking care of your opponent's monsters without destroying them.

Loaner Deck

A Deck that combines "Nephthys", which has many WIND Spellcaster-Type monsters, and "Majespecter", which has Spell Cards and Trap Cards that are activated by Tributing WIND Spellcaster-Type monsters. "Majespecter" monsters can also be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by Pendulum Summoning, meaning they can be used to secure a Tribute for Ritual Summons.

Chapter 4.3: Duel 3

Your opponent is Dueling with a "Nephthys" Deck, supported by "Impcantation" cards to help it Ritual Summon. This combination is able to more easily assemble the necessary cards and Tributes required for multiple Ritual Summons.

Cards like "Awakening of the Possessed - Rasenryu" and "Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi" may be just what you need to win, as they can deal with your opponent's cards without destroying them.

• Reward (Loaner): Icon ("Nephthys, the Sacred Flame")
• Reward (My Deck): 200

Loaner Deck

A Deck that is designed to support "Nephthys" monsters, which are mostly WIND Spellcaster-Type, by introducing "Charmer"-related cards that are also WIND. Use the effect of "Wynn the Wind Channeler" to call "Nephthys" monsters to your hand for a Ritual Summon or Link Summon.
