Notes & Combos

If you have questions about the deck leave a comment. I have been waiting for a long time to get Ghostricks. This skill is amazing and Lyrilusc/Unchained/Yubel are phenomenal matchups. To open with a field, level 1 Ghostrick or Witch to get you a free SS from the deck. For that reason I'm playing 10 targets, (2 fields, 6 L1 and 2 Witches) I'm playing the Jack/Lant line because you can activate skill mutliple times they need to be unique reveals. The 2 Witch can be very good for baiting out negates even if you summon her from the skill. My usual opening for the skill is to set a Jiangshi and get the turn 1 search. This search sometimes depends on the opponent but I go by priority of Mary, Lantern, Specter and then Jackfrost. This is not concrete because if you don't open a field or don't have an XYZ play on your first turn then I would prioritize Specter over the Lantern, you need to judge resources accordingly. Also consider what you will reveal to your opponent ont he followup if you're going to use Specter then it will not be available for you to reveal on the next turn. You should order your reveals accordingly to how you're going to play your turn out. ie: multiple reveal targets in hand I will reveal the cards that I expect to be used in the current turn/next turn.

There are caveats there as well because you don't want to reveal to your opponent the type of handtraps you have so be mindful if they are going to play into a Jackfrost or Mary attack.

Back to the opening, if you have another Jiangshi/Skeleton then you have your Alucard/Angel search. I generally dump Vanish as my first target. For the Ghostrick traps, they are mostly useful only with other Ghostricks so you don't want to be drawing them and it's way stronger to get them off the Alucard/Dullahan detach. Vanish is a good first target but you have to juggle between whether or not you want a field opening or not. You also need to keep in mind how many Ghostrick S/T are left in deck if you don't have any left then you might not be able to detach off get cards back from the grave.

You want to set cards like GoRound Mansion/Museum with Fairy. If you do not set a card with Fairy you do not get the setting of the monsters.

If you've never played Ghostrick, Scare/GoRound/Fairy are all nontargeting sets. They do however target your own cards. So please make sure you chain properly when using Vanish as it stops targeting your own set monsters.
