Antimeta Exosister (January 2023)
Deck Primer
Exosister is a deck specifically designed to counter a graveyard meta. Today (as with most meta over the course of Yugioh history), the meta is dominated by the Graveyard with all the Tearlaments, Ishizu, Runick, Bystial and Spright cards running around! With literally almost every deck dependent on GY interaction, it is now time for the beautiful combat nuns to exorcise the evils in the graveyard - The EXOSISTERS!
The Exosister gimmick is to transform their singular maindeck monster cards that are on the field into their power-up XYZ Extra Deck forms with various on-summon effects that lock out the graveyard for the turn. Their effects range from "neither player can activate effects in the GY" (Asophiel), "neither player can summon from the GY this turn" (Kaspitell), "monster negate" (Gibrine) and "banish" (Mikailis). To top it all off, a powerful board breaker and OTK enabler (almost like Accesscode) joined the Exosister Extra Deck lin-up in Dimension Force - Magnifica! Magnifica can non-target banish a card on the field and attack TWICE! That means she is 5600 damage on-board, or 7200 damage with Gibrine's attack increase effect - meaning that OTK can happen very quickly with this deck once an ideal boardstate is achieved.

COMBOS AND GAMEPLAN
Not only is this deck beautiful and fun - it is relatively simple to use! There is minimal complex combos or resource management. All you do is slap down some staple foodgates/boardbreakers, summon powerful monsters and OTK!
Watch the opposing Tearlament player's face contort in pain as you chain Dimension Shifter or activate Necrovalley! Laugh as you slap down one of your many blind second field wipes on your opponent's established board that they've worked so hard to create! Missing a card? You can dig into your deck with Pot of Prosperity for 6 since you don't really need most of your Extra Deck!
Going first or second, this is the simple common combo this deck uses:
1. Get two Exosisters on field to summon Kaspitell.
2. Activate Kaspitell effect to search for another maindeck Exosister monster to facilitate the summon of Mikaelis. (Usually its Martha. If you already used Martha to summon Kaspitell, grab an extender to normal summon + special summon -> Mikaelis).
3. Use your two Exosister monsters on-field to summon Mikaelis. Banish a card on-field as needed.
4. Activate Mikaelis' effect to search for an Exorsister spell/trap. (Going first, you'd generally you'd want to search Returnia to banish 1-2 cards on your opponent turn. If you already have it, get Vadis instead. Going second, you may want to search for Pax to summon another Exosister on field to push for game.)
5. Overlay Kaspitell + Mikaelis to summon Magnifica. Banish a card on-field as needed.
Going first, this combo from 1-2 Exorsister cards in-hand results in 4 banishes on your opponent's turn as well as a beefy hard-to-kill 2800 ATK monster!
Going second, this combo banishes 2 cards and can play through interruption especially if you've already simplified the game-state with your staple floodgates/boardbreakers to push for game!
In an ideal gamestate and empty opponent board, OTK is achieved through Magnifica + Jibrine. If you've saved your Magnifica from turn one, all you have to do is summon Jibrine to push for an OTK. Jibrine + Magnifica on an empty board is 9400 damage to your opponent's life points!

GENERAL TIPS
- While this deck is specifically tailored to hard-counter GY strategies, other decks that don't rely on graveyard is this deck's worst enemy - mainly Floowandereeze. Be sure to side in your Zombieworlds when facing them!
- When going second against a Floowandereeze player and they have a set "Dreaming Town" on their field while you have Dark Ruler No More, you can play a funny mind game with them. Bluff the Evenly Matched in your hand by attempting to go to battle phase. This will force your opponent to activate Dreaming Town, since they can only activate it in the main phase. They will summon Apex Avian, so they can negate evenly matched. Now that you baited out their Apex Avian, you can now negate their entire board with Dark Ruler No More! (Trust me, this bluff works every single time, it's hilarious!)
- When you opponent activates a card that moves a card out of the GY, like Bystial Magnumut or Kitkallos, chain Exorsister Vadis to give yourself two free monsters + powerful lingering floodgate effects/interruption that lock the GY or clear the field!
- You can side out Called By the Grave alot of the time in this deck, since many cards in your arsenal render the GY useless/inaccessible anyways.
- If you're going first, side in all your going first floodgates that often insta-win you the game. (Thanks for the free wins Anti-Spell and Gozen Match).
- The cards in the Extra Deck commonly banished with Pot of Prosperity are: 1 copy of Mikaelis, 1 Zeus, 1 Bagooska, 1 Cowboy, 1 copy of Artemis, and 1 Tornado Dragon.
- If you have plenty of extenders available for your mainline combo, try to save your normal summon for Sophia for an extra draw. Sophia can also be summoned from deck with Pax if Irene is somehow in your GY.

CONCLUDING COMMENTARY
The graveyard is dominating the metagame... Who you gonna call? EXOSISTERS!!!
Seriously though, I got tired of the mind-numbing graveyard chains that go 7+ at Locals. I go to Locals after work, and I'm too tired to do something that complex and intensive. So I started bringing Exosister to Locals, and my experience became so much more enjoyable! Sure, I may lose to that Floowandereeze guy, but hooooo BOY is it fun to floodgate out GY decks (SUCK IT TEARLAMENT ISHIZU) and win!
It's also really cool to wreck your opponents with cute combat nuns, every duel is like an episode of A Certain Scientic Railgun or Lycoris Recoil. Now I get to live out my "cute girls destroy bad guys" fantasy in Yugioh matches! :D
Hope you folks have as much fun as I do EXORCISING the graveyard!
GLHF Duelists!
