Introduction
T.G. is a going first combo deck that is based around Summoning the powerful combo piece T.G. Trident Launcher via Crystron Halqifibrax. From there it combos into a Synchro boss Monster such as Cosmic Blazar Dragon or T.G. Halberd Cannon. The strengths of this deck lies in the many engines it has access to, which facilitate the Summon of the explosive T.G. Trident Launcher.
The main drawback of both the deck and T.G. Trident Launcher is that after Summoning T.G. Trident Launcher, you become locked to exclusively Summoning T.G. Monsters for the rest of the turn. However, this weakness becomes a source of uniqueness for the deck, preventing us from becoming just another generic Synchro deck, and instead using less common options that we can facilitate. In addition, this deck is able to Synchro Summon on the opponent's turn, meaning that this lock can be bypassed.
The deck is overall rather simple to pilot, as a lot of the combos are very similar, but with this simplicity comes a high susceptibility to interruption, so to counteract this many techs are dedicated to ensuring our combo resolves, in addition, extenders are ran so that if our Normal Summon is negated our play can continue.
Core Cards
These are cards that are used in almost every version of the deck, with some options, depending on your end goal.
Monsters
T.G. Screw Serpent
- Being a level 4, this is one of the best tuners in the T.G. archetype. This allows for easy level 5 Synchros with all the other core level 1 T.G. Monsters.
- Remember that any card Summoned through this effect has its effects negated.
- By Summoning T.G. Star Guardian with this card and a level 1, it is possible to Summon a level 7 Synchro Monster.
- Able to adjust the levels of T.G. Monsters
T.G. Booster Raptor
- Pairs well with T.G. Screw Serpent to Synchro Summon 2 level 5s and then a level 10.
- Has synergy with a dino engine. Can be searched by Souleating Oviraptor or Fossil Dig and can be special Summoned by Miscellaneousaurus.
- The GY search effect is rather slow and not very significant.
- The effect to special Summon itself does not count as an effect activation and only requires 1 T.G. Monster on the field.
T.G. Drill Fish
- Similar to T.G. Booster Raptor.
- Special Summon does count as an effect activation, making it more likely to be negated.
- Can be Summoned only if you T.G. Monsters.
- Comes with an additional targeted Monster destruction effect. Useful, but not worth the harder conditions to Summon.
- Only used with the Deep Sea Diva engine for its water attribute, where it makes a good bridge for Small World.
