Psy-Gusto:Power in numbers

Gusto:Top Local Decklist

I seemed to have topped my locals recently with gustos. I rarely get anywhere above 7th place out of roughly 30 players,so this was a big thing for me.

i got first place,winning 5 straight games until my streak was broken by Elemental Dragons.

took final game against elemental dragons by a Starlight Star bright and Axon. It was basically scoop after that.

lets get onto the decklist and analysis:

2x tragoedia

spell line-up:

3x emergency teleport

1x dark hole

1x mind control

2x miracle synchro fusion

the deck:

the deck is really,really hard to use if you don't know how to properly save your key cards for late game pushes.of course,there might not be a late game,

so taking that precaution can be quite a hinder.

half of the time i drew egul with no kind of support,which can be really bad in a format where everything is popped or banished.

but thanks to the curiosity of players,attacking set monsters is a kind of right of passage,thinking its either ryko or some other kind of easy card to get around,setting off my toolbox.

you cant just winda=gulldo=egul=caam in this deck,since you're only running the sole caam.

randomly specialing caam when you feel you can go off is still a double sided coin.

i love her to death,but bottomless and other removal are still in the game, limited or not.

one good thing about some of the gusto monsters are that psychic,which means they are compatible with E-tele and food for some of the synchros (lifetrancer,android,axon,ect.)

lets take a look at the raining VIP of the deck:

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner "Gusto" monsters
When this card is Synchro Summoned: You can target 1 "Gusto" card in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand. Your opponent takes any Battle Damage you would have taken from battles involving a face-up"Gusto" monster you control. This card cannot be destroyed by battle.

this baby is 2damn good.

She alone won me a few matches doing the gusto loop on high attack monsters.

her trigger ability is also Very nice,able to get back any gusto in the grave.this effect includes 'daigusto' monsters,since they still count as gusto.

and just like the rest of the daigusto synchros,she states that she needs a Tuner(note she just says tuner,not a gusto tuner,) and a gusto monster.

caam+esper girl

redirecting damage is an amazing effect,making your opponent rethink some of their plays and waist resources to get her off the field.

she,as well as all the other daigusto synchros,are psychic.this means she's compatible with:

-silent psychic wizard

-hushed psychic cleric

-axon kicker

-lifetrancer(though i recommend not to)

-magical android

and also a target for caam when in the grave.

you just don't know the satisfaction when you normal a wizard and banish her,then just synchro up into something and get her back.

keeps the opponent annoyed and you safe for a turn or two.

now for the runner up of the deck:

Once per turn: You can return 1 card from your hand to the bottom of the Deck to target 1 monster your opponent controls and 1 face-up "Gusto" monster you control; switch control of both monsters.

to tell the truth,i didn't like this card at first.shes a lvl 5 that needed to send a card back to switch.

until one day i was testing and i saw the plays she can pull out,and the seemingly infinite synergy she had with the deck.

she alone can turn around some really shitty situations.

switching her with a dracossack or big eye is so fulfilling in life.

ya there may turns where she has to be tributed or some other tedious play to get her out on board,but there's one card that makes her such a wonderful piece of ass.

Serene Psychic Witch:

When this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can banish 1 Psychic-Type monster with 2000 or less ATK from your Deck. During the next Standby Phase, if this card stays in the Graveyard:Special Summon the monster banished by this card's effect.

i had to re-read serene to make sure i wasn't tricking myself.

serene alone searches all the decks psychics,and even get out whirlwind from the deck.

that equals one less card i have to worry about,and i got a switching option next turn.

Also to note, serene doesn't care how she's destroyed,just as long as she was on the field when it happens (except banishing her,that's an issue.)

a scrap dragon for serene and a back row was a play i had fun with,getting the cards out of the deck i needed while letting scrap take care of anything i don't like.

im a big control junkie,

so she is an absolute must.

of course,this deck wouldn't have been as successful without the (indirect) help from the moderator of The Gusto Tribe.

So thanks mate,for the amazing info on some of the cards,

i tip my hat to you sir.

i also got my FIRST shout out,from a DN friend masseur Francisco Lake.

please check out and sub to his channel,really cool dude and deserves (all the) credit for helping me with the previous Budget deck Post.

im so glad to have made the deck,and the success its been showing so far.

ill make sure to keep this deck up to par,and update you on it whenever i can.

much love for the gust.

until next update.
