"Sacrifice / Skill Drain" Deck 2016

Playing

After preparing for the ritual summon with the search card, I set up Skill Drain and aim for a beatdown with Sacrifice, Barba, and Gandora, which are not Trap-effective. Attack from the opponent with "Scrubbed Raid", and protect from the removal Spell Trap with the holy spear.

Strength

The disadvantage of 《Skill Drain》can be imposed almost exclusively on the opponent. Strong against decks that rely on monster effects as the main strategy. Also, there aren't many monsters that are resistant to Sacrifice's removal effect, so most opponents can take it.

Weakness

Since there are many cards to align, the initial action is slow. Also, as with most ritual summons, it consumes a lot of cards, so if a removal spell goes through, it will be tough. Also, aside from the times when feather brooms and storms were banned and cyclones were semi-restricted, the current environment is harsh with these restrictions being relaxed. I'm also very bad at touching and 《Thunder King Rai-Oh》. 《Thunder King Rai-Oh》can be negate with Skidre, but if you get harassed and repeatedly hit monster removal, it won't stand a chance. Also, if you only have Sacrifice at hand, you will inevitably be on the draw because you need your opponent to summon a monster to steal. And he has the worst compatibility with Dark World, which mainly activates GY and also has handicap.

Customize

You might want to include Star Lightsworn as a countermeasure against tempests, feather brooms, and sweepers. It's also good to increase the number of cards that break the opponent's back.
