Note: Silverroket Dragon can be replaced with ANY non-Tuner Lvl 4 Rokket monster
Introductions
So what is
Halqifibrax Combo? Basically you Normal Summon a Tuner that can revive itself (
Jet Synchron,
Glow-up Bulb,
Plaguespreader Zombie, etc), or a monster that can Special Summon a Tuner from the Deck, and you end with 3 counters
Borreload Savage Dragon +
Herald of the Arc Light without a single Extender (if not interrupted)
The Combo is as follows:
- Normal Summon Jet Synchron/Plaguespreader
- Link into Almiraj -> Revive Jet Synchron/Plaguespreader
- Link into Crystron Halqifibrax -> Summon Deskbot 001
- Link into Mecha Phantom Beast Auroradon -> Summon 3 Lvl 3 Tokens -> Trigger Deskbot 001 to revive from GY
- Synchro 1 Token + Deskbot 001 into Herald of the Arc Light
- Auroradon Tribute itself and 1 Token to Summon Mecha Phantom Beast O-Lion from the Deck
- Synchro O-Lion + 1 Token into a Lvl 5 Synchro Tuner -> Trigger O-Lion to Summon a Lvl 3 Token
- Synchro those 2 into Borreload Savage Dragon -> Equip Auroradon
- Enjoy your free 2 Omni-Negates
Extra Combos
Just by putting a single Synchro and a single Garnet in your Deck, you can get an extra Omni-Negate Counter Trap with the exact same resources. What is that Synchro?
Denglong, the First of the Yang Zing, a currently banned card in the TCG
The Extra Combo is as follows:
- Same Combo as 1-5, the lvl 5 Synchro Tuner is Denglong -> Denglong add Nine Pillars of the Yang Zing
- Synchro into Borreload Savage Dragon -> Equip Auroradon -> Denglong Trigger to Summon a Yang Zing (preferably Chi Wen) from the Deck
- Enjoy your FREE Omni-Negate that can negate Dark Ruler, and potentially Droplet
Extenders
Does the Combo ends there? NOPE, that's just 1 card combo. What if you have an extra Extender in your hand? The best Extender I could think of is
Quick-Lauch. Why
Quick Launch? Because
Quick Launch can Special Summon
Rokket Tracer, and guess what Tracer can do? Pop a Yang Zing to Summon a Lvl 4 Rokket from the Deck. In this case, the Yang Zing doesn't miss timing because
Tracer says
and if you do. This will allow you to make another
Lvl 8 Synchro without losing advantage. But keep in mind that
Tracer locks you into DARK Extra Deck monsters only, which mean you can't make
Dragite from this. If you want to make
Dragite, you have to make it early in place of
Borreload. Then you can make
Borreload later with Tracer
The other good Extender is
Nemesis Corridor. Since
Jet Synchron/
Plaguespreader is inevitably going to get banished by its own effect.
Corridor is pretty much a free
Thunder Dragon Colossus
The last Extenders are
Destrudo and
Instant Fusion. These 2 doesn't extend the Combo itself (Same Combo as having no Extender), instead they support the Combo consistency. If your
Jet Synchron/
Plaguespreader Searcher got negated, just use
Destrudo/
Instant Fusion and you will still Full Combo (if they have no more interruptions)
Things You Should Know
- You can Summon Jet Synchron/Plaguespreader off Halqifibrax to go into Unicorn into Accesscode instead (Going second)
- Most of the Link Monsters are used for Turn 2 or higher
- FA Dawn Dragster and Yazi, Evil of the Yang Zing can easily be Summoned from Destrudo
- You can make 3 Materials Apollousa with 2 Extenders if your Halqifibrax got Negated
- If your Halqifibrax got Negated, you can still end with Borreload via Quick Launch (Tracer pop Halqifibrax -> Synchro into Borreload)
- If you open up Destrudo, Prioritize Normal Summoning your Searcher over the Tuners themself to bait out handtraps
- If Halqifibrax got negated, you can banish it during your opponent's turn to go into Denglong to maybe survive the turn, then you can shuffle back Halqifibrax with Corridor
- Pot of Avarice is used to reset your Extra Deck and Combo Pieces so that you can do the Halqifibrax Combo again next turn
- Yazi can pop 1 card and itself, which then float into Mare Mare; generating 3 free tokens that can be used for Link plays (Phoenix -> Unicorn -> Halqifibrax/Accesscode)
Summary
Is the Deck good? The main problem with the Deck is the little amount of Extender it has, which mean it usually lose to handtraps. A single
Ash Blossom can cost you the game. However, if you successfully do the Combo, you pretty much win the game (most of the time). Without Side Deck, you don't have to worry about things like
Kaiju or
Sphere Mode as much. This board can easily be broken by a single
Droplet (sending monsters and Traps), but you still have
Nine Pillars
The other Weakness that the Deck has is Garnets. If you draw
Tracer, your
Quick Launch is less effective. If you draw
O-Lion, can't make
Borreload. This issue could be solved by
Plaguespreader returning a card back into the Deck
How about consistency? I decided to play a 48 cards Deck because I need some board breaker going 2nd. You may think that it's not consistent because of it, but remember that you have 20 Starters (6 is
Destrudo, 1 is
Instant Fusion) that leads you into the Combo. That literally means you have more than 90% chance to open at least 1 Starter (80% if you don't count
Destrudo and
Instant Fusion). So I would say it's pretty consistent (I tried using 5 sample draws and I got at least 1 Starter 10x in a row). Also more Cards mean less chance to draw Garnets
Is the Deck Expensive? Well... It's very Expensive actually. 9N, 7R, 24 SR, 23 UR (Remember that one of the SR is easily replaceable, check Note). But don't worry, the Staples are replaceable, Extra Deck cards that aren't mentioned in the Combo are replaceable... Good Luck getting those SR/UR CPs!!!
