Gate Ruler Set 4 | K-11 Dark Pact Dragon Genesis

We are back with a brand new Gate Ruler deck profile and today we have a doozy. Specifically and as evidenced by the title, we will be covering one of my main decks, the absolute bread and butter of my archetype line-up; Knight Dragon Genesis.

Gate Ruler Set 4 | O. 15 Martial Skill Arsenal

Hello and welcome back to another exciting Gate Ruler deck. Today, we will be addressing an archetype that came into its own in the previous set and has now received some serious upgrades, in terms of the arsenal of 'silver bullet' effects it has at its disposal. If that hint and the title were not …

Gate Ruler Set 4 | O. 15 Exvaders and D. 4 Supernatural

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Gate Ruler article. Today we are going to be doing something slightly different. Specifically, we will review a couple of decklists/archetypes which although have received upgrades, ultimately not enough changed (in terms of playstyle) to warrant an entirely new detailed write-up on them. As such, I will link …

Gate Ruler Set 3 | T. 20 Genesis Control ~ Reign of Aras

After attempting to make a dedicated 'Heal-loop' genesis deck for quite some time, I finally unearthed the key to a winning recipe. Taking advantage of Trickster's larger health pool, copious amounts of healing, and removal effects, this particular build succeeds in slowing down what was once a Combo Mechanic/Archetype aimed at gaining Tempo by shifting …

Gate Ruler Set 3 | K-11 Dragon Genesis Rampage

Hello everybody and welcome back to yet another deck profile, this time covering my all-time forte and personal staple archetype to date; Genesis Summoning.

Gate Ruler Set 3 | O. 15 Evil Rises and Darkness Falls

Inevitably, the time has come when we must graduate from the 'interesting' builds to once again cover one of the more 'popular' meta decks of the current format; Darkness Abyssal Summoning.
