Exosister gameplay guide

Exosister gameplay guide

  EXOSISTER is a deck based on Level 4 monsters with a unique mechanism: punishing opponents when they interact with the Graveyard. All Exosister monsters in the Main Deck share the same effect: If a card moves out of any player's Graveyard, you can activate their Quick Effect to Xyz Summon immediately.

In this version, we utilize the new skill MAKURA'S JUDGMENT to enhance stability and access to powerful Trap cards. The goal is to set up Xyz monsters to lock the Graveyard, banish opponent cards, and finish off the Boss EXOSISTER MAGNIFICA .

If this card is sent from the Monster Zone to the GY: You can activate 1 Trap Card from your hand this turn. You can only use this effect of "Makyura the Destructor" once per turn.


GOAT :

This is the engine behind this new deck of cards. This skill accomplishes three important things:

  1. Add MAKURA THE DESTRUCTOR to your hand (free +1 card).

  2. This allows you to shuffle one card from your hand back into your Deck . This is extremely important because your deck contains unwanted cards like IRENE and SOPHIA that you might draw. You want them in your Deck to summon, not in your hand.

  3. If you have MAKURA in your hand, you add 1 Trap card from your deck to your hand . This skill requires playing two different types of Traps, usually VADIS and RETURNIA .


Monsters in the Main Deck

  • ATK:

  • DEF:

  • 800

If you control no monsters, or only Xyz Monsters: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Exosister Elis" from your Deck. You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this effect, except "Exosister" monsters. If a card(s) moves out of either GY (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Exosister" Xyz Monster, using this face-up card you control as material. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon.) You can only use each effect of "Exosister Martha" once per turn.


This is the strongest "1-card combo". It Special Summons from your hand and pulls ELIS from your deck. Instantly you have 2 Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon without spending a Normal Summon turn.

Exosister Elis (x3)

If you control an "Exosister" monster: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then if you control "Exosister Stella", you gain 800 LP. If your opponent moves a card(s) out of either GY (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Exosister" Xyz Monster using this face-up card you control as material. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon.) You can only use each effect of "Exosister Elis" once per turn.


You can Special Summon yourself if you're controlling an Exosister. A great extender card to help you reach Rank 4 easily.

Exosister Irene and Exosister Sophia (x1)

  • ATK:

  • DEF:

You can place 1 "Exosister" card from your hand on the bottom of the Deck; draw 1 card, then if you control "Exosister Sophia", you gain 800 LP. If your opponent moves a card(s) out of either GY (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Exosister" Xyz Monster using this face-up card you control as material. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon.) You can only use each effect of "Exosister Irene" once per turn.

  • ATK:

  • DEF:

If you control another "Exosister" monster: You can draw 1 card, then if you control "Exosister Irene", you gain 800 LP. If your opponent moves a card(s) out of either GY (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Exosister" Xyz Monster using this face-up card you control as material. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon.) You can only use each effect of "Exosister Sophia" once per turn.


These are the cards we don't want to draw. Why do we still play? Because the VADIS trap card needs to summon them from the Deck.

  • Note: When both are on the field, SOPHIA restores 800 LP and draws 1 card; IRENE shuffles your deck (returns 1 card to your deck, draws 1 card).

Makyura the Destructor (x1)

If this card is sent from the Monster Zone to the GY: You can activate 1 Trap Card from your hand this turn. You can only use this effect of "Makyura the Destructor" once per turn.


GOAT :

It's a must-have because of its Skill. It acts as a regular Level 4 monster that you can Normal Summon and Xyz pair with when needed (e.g., when your deck is "bricked").


Spell/Trap

 

Exosister Pax (x3)

    During the Main Phase: Pay 800 LP; add 1 "Exosister" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Exosister Pax", then, if you added a monster by this effect, you can Special Summon it if the other "Exosister" monster mentioned on it is on your field or in your GY. You can only activate 1 "Exosister Pax" per turn.


    This is the ultimate Searcher card. It can find EVERYTHING: Monsters, Spells, or Traps from Exosister.

    • Side Effect: If you find a monster whose name is mentioned on a monster you're controlling (e.g., find IRENE while you have SOPHIA ), you can Special Summon it. Think of this as adding 3 copies of MARTHA or VADIS .

    Exosister Vadis (x1)

    R Rarity
    Exosister Vadis

      Pay 800 LP; choose 1 "Exosister" monster from your Deck, then take 1 other "Exosister" monster from your Deck that is mentioned on that monster, and Special Summon both, but shuffle them into the Deck during the End Phase, also for the rest of this turn after this card resolves, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, except "Exosister" monsters. You can only activate 1 "Exosister Vadis" per turn.


      "The Starter Combo"

      This Trap card allows you to Special Summon 2 Exosisters from your deck at the same time!

      • The rule: You summon one Pokémon, and that Pokémon must mention the name of the second Pokémon. That's why the pair IRENE and SOPHIA always appear together.

      • Why only one card? Because the Skill and PAX can find it easily. Thanks to the Skill, you can activate this Trap card right on the first turn (from your hand) to start the combo.

      Exosister Returnia (x1)

      SR Rarity

        If all monsters you control are "Exosister" monsters (min. 1): Pay 800 LP, then target 1 card your opponent controls or in their GY; banish it, then you can apply 1 of the following effects. ● Immediately after this effect resolves, Xyz Summon 1 "Exosister" Xyz Monster using monsters you control. ● If you Xyz Summoned this turn, banish 1 card your opponent controls. You can only activate 1 "Exosister Returnia" per turn.


        This is a very powerful disruptive/field-breaking card.

        • Condition: Only control Exosister (note: cannot be used if Makura is on the field).

        • Effect 1: Banish one of your opponent's cards.

        • Effect 2 (Bonus): Afterwards, you can perform an Xyz Summon immediately.

        • Effect 3 (Bonus): If you have Xyz Summoned this turn, you banish one more card . (Total banishment of 2 cards - similar to Treacherous Trap Hole but Banish).

        Exosister Carpedivem (x1)

        N Rarity

        Exosister Carpedivem

          Neither player can target "Exosister" monsters you control with effects of monsters that were Special Summoned from the GY. You can only use each of the following effects of "Exosister Carpedivem" once per turn. If you Xyz Summon an "Exosister" monster: You can declare 1 card name; negate the activated effects and effects on the field of cards with that original name, until the end of this turn. When an attack is declared involving your "Exosister" monster: You can target 1 Spell/Trap your opponent controls; destroy it.


          This is the Eternal Spell card for advanced players.

          • Effect: When you Xyz Summon, you get to CALL 1 CARD . The effect of that card is negated for this turn.

          • Instructions: If you know your opponent is playing a Hero, call out " Super Polymerization ". If you fear Nibiru , call out "Nibiru". If your opponent is about to lose and you fear Kiteroid , call out "Kiteroid" before attacking.

          Combo and how it works

          This deck is very versatile, regardless of whether you play first or second. Below are the main combo paths:

          1. The Best Starter Combo with Martha

          This is the strongest 1-card combo.

          1. In hand: Activate MARTHA -> Summon yourself and ELIS from the Deck.

          2. Xyz Summon MIKAILIS .

          3. MIKAILIS effect: Separate ingredients -> Search for VADIS traps (or CARPEDIVE if Vadis is already present).

          4. Fold your card and end your turn.

          5. Opponent's turn (End Phase or when needed): Activate VADIS -> Summon IRENE + SOPHIA .

          6. Immediately use Xyz Summon (thanks to the Exosister or Returnia effect) to summon Kaspitel to lock down the Graveyard or Asophiel, depending on the situation.

          2. Starting Combo with VADIS (Skill-Based)

          Without Martha, skill will save you.

          1. Use Skill: Add MAKURA , shuffle 1 trash card back into Deck (e.g., Irene/Sophia), add VADIS to hand.

          2. Activate VADIS from your hand (Skill enabled).

          3. Summon IRENE + SOPHIA from the Deck. (Activate healing effects and draw cards to filter the deck).

          4. Xyz Summon KASPITL (or Mikailis).

          5. Kaspitel effect: Search for Martha to ensure you have a card to play for the next turn (Follow-up).

          6. If it's possible to expand (e.g., with Elis), then go to MIKAILIS to find RETURNIA .

          7. Finally, the husband's two children, both Rank 4, became MAGNIFICA .

          3. The "Going Behind" Combo (OTK & Destroying the Field)

          1. Perform the same combo as above to get MIKAILIS .

          2. Use MIKAILIS to banish one of your opponent's troublesome cards.

          3. Search for RETURNIA or CARPEDIVE .

            • Use RETURNIA if you need to banish two more cards to clear the field.

            • Use CARPEDIVE to call out the names of Handtraps (such as Kiteroid) to ensure the attack is successful.

          4. Upgrade to MAGNIFICA : Attack twice (2800 x 2 = 5600 damage). Easily ends the match.

          4. Troubleshooting When Your Work Gets "Bricked" (Stuck on a Project)

          If you only have MAKURA and any Level 4 Exosister (not Martha/Elis):

          1. Normal Summon MAKURA .

          2. Normal Summon the remaining monster.

          3. Xyz Summon Kaspitel -> Find Martha . (Now you have the combo for the next turn).

          4. Or Xyz Summon MIKAILIS -> Find VADIS . (Now you have a defensive unit).


          Things to note and advanced tips

        • The power of CARPEDIVE: Don't underestimate this card. "Calling" a card requires knowledge of the Meta (reading what deck your opponent is playing), but if used correctly, it can completely neutralize your opponent's main cards (for example, calling Aleister the Invoker or Nibiru ).

        • Dodging Book of Eclipse: If your opponent uses Book of Eclipse on your Magnifica , Chain Magnifica's "Tag-out" effect. This will return it to the Extra Deck and summon the Xyz monster below. The newly summoned Xyz monster will still be face down, but you've dodged Magnifica's disabling effect and can activate that Xyz monster's effect on the next turn.

        • Don't be afraid of opponents with many monsters: Exosister loves opponents with many monsters, because MAGNIFICA can attack twice, and you have tons of banishment effects to clear the way.

        • Resource Management: With 1 VADIS card, 1 MARTHA card, and Skills, you have many ways to recover your base after it's been wiped out. Don't hesitate to use all your resources to apply pressure because this deck has excellent recovery capabilities.


          • Summary

          Exosister with its Makura skill is a high-tier deck , incredibly stable and versatile. It's not a boring "solitaire" deck, but a highly interactive one that requires you to read the situation and punish your opponent at the right time. Good luck climbing the ranks with the "Exosister" team!
