Fabled-Hamster


One of the main problems that I found when I tried to build a Fabled deck was the normal summon. In order to make grimro a playable card, I had to put a Fabled on the field. But if I waste my normal summon on a Fabled monster, then the only good monster I can bring with grimro is chawa, because it special summoon itself to the field. At the end, the worst part is that I really need my normal summon to put another monsters, like tengu, snipe hunter or lyla.

The usual solution to this, is stablish a first turn tengu, so I will normal summon a fabled monster on my next turn to start my syncro combo. The syncro options were limited and sometimes easy to block.

Also there is a something wrong in the strategy that doesn't make sense with the usual deck building. In order to make all the combos, you have to put a lot of fableds on the deck. So, the monster lineup reach 25-27. Also you are forced to play it all at once, so you can use Ragin effect and draw 2, you have to put yourself in danger and end up in topdeck mode. Of course you can make librarian and forgot about ragin, but that don't get the full potential of the deck.

So, in order to keep my normal summon, establish a best 1º turn, and reduce the monster lineup. I decided to use one of my favorite cards on the game.


A first turn hamster let you keep your strategy in the dark at least for a turn. Also, you can see the enemy's strategy first, so you can decide whether bring chawa, cerburel or ryko. With Hamster you can put a fabled monster from the deck without using your normal summon, make grimro a playable card, and let you search for anything to summon or special summon. The possibilities are so amazing that I'm gonna write some of it right now:

If your hand started with some of the following cards:

A lot M/T cards and hamster: set hamster, then bring chawa from the deck, make ragin and draw two.

Hamster and Grimro: Hamster brings Chawa, Grimro search for Kushano, normal summon Kushano. Make Ragin, draw 2. syncro lv8 for Valkyrius. Discard a fabled for Kushano, discard Kushano for Valkyrius eff and draw 1.

Hamster and Krus: Hamster brings Cerburel, make Brionac, discard Krus to bounce something and special summon Cerburel for Krus eff. Make Valkyrius or Stardust.

Hamster and Chawa: Hamster brings Ryko, destroy M/T with Ryko eff. Summon Chawa and make Ragin, or Black rose, or any lv5 or lv 7 syncro you want.

Hamster and Tengu: Hamster brings Ryko, destroy something, summon Tengu and attack with floaters. Or bring Chawa instead of Ryko. Summon Tengu, make Trishula. Or bring Cerburel instead of Chawa and make AOJ decisive armor. Or Fabled Leviathan.

Has you can see, the possibilities are endless, and now you only need two cards to make it. You should try the deck some time, you will be surprise of all you can get.

  1. So Hamster instead of Snipe Hunter? It does seem like an idea worth trying.

  2. It also means that you have play slowly at the begining. That's why I use duality.
