I play glads, spellcasters, and a very random beatdown deck. Never use a beatdown against Blackwings or Gladiators. A Random duelist who still runs a beatdown deck and win with it. I've found that using a Dragonic Knight against a Lightsworn deck is pretty good due to Lightsworn's abilities to destroy cards through their effects. When they force you to mill your own deck, you kill their cards with the powerful monsters in the beatdown deck, of course, you need to have a back up plan which would be a line of traps for defense. All it takes is the ability to defeat anything and everything they can place down.

I beat a couple Lightsworn decks with a beatdown deck. And it stops them from milling.Īlso if you play glads like i do, you definaely want to maximize the use of your chariots. Also divine wrath is a great tech, because lightswarns revolve around effects. I use cards like dimensional stronghold weapon, and light imprisoning mirror and skill drain. sadly a well built Frogger Deck can kill a Lightlord Deck ~MEOW~ Might of the BIRD Empire~~ 18:53, 22 March 2009 (UTC) you can also throw in Mask of Restricts, Gravity Binds, and i think Stall Decks & some burn decks can cripple/hurt Lightlord Decks. Crows and Disappears also hurt Lightlord decks to an extent. Remove from Play decks, Mill Decks that make the Lightlord user draw cards &/or mill at the same time, Decks that swarm faster then the Lightlord deck, D.D.

While yes i do run a Lightlord deck, i also run other decks.

(No Tele-DAD here) Light-Imprisoning Mirror is good too, but do not side deck too many traps against a Lightsworn player, or you w- Phoenix25 01:55, 27 March 2009 (UTC)ill lose badly to Royal Decree! - Rainyday2012 18:56, 9 December 2008 (UTC) I play a Lightsworn deck myself, and I rarely lose to anything other than Gladiator Beasts, Anti-Meta and other Lightsworns, despite lots of Macro Monarchs in my meta. Crow works wonders, and should be in everybody's Side (or Main) Deck. The best way to beat them is either to build an Anti-Meta deck with things like Thunder King Rai-Oh, Royal Oppression, Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo and the like to prevent Special Summons, or to run a Meta deck and side deck specific counters.

Generally Lightsworns are A LOT quicker than Macro decks, and trounce them easily.

Actually I didn't mention Phantom of Chaos as a counter, but Kycoo so your opponent can't use his effect.

Hold on, using ' Phantom of Chaos' to remove their Lightsworns from play? You can only remove your own monsters with its effect.

Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer so they can't use Necro Gardna or Phantom of Chaos and to remove their Lightsworns from play. Gadjiltron 05:08, 17 November 2008 (UTC)ĭimensional fissure and macro cosmos definitely does it Playing Mill Decks against them can also do more milling than they need, resulting in them Decking Out faster.Dimensional Stronghold Weapon prevents milling.Turn 2: He uses heavery storm and summons a lightsworn which summons about 3 more and ended up with 5 lightsworns.(preparing a all out attack) he attacks but I'm not distroyedīut if hed used 2 garoths you wouldve lost! Turn 1: I placed a spirit reaper face down a few traps (hope he doesn't summon the dog *destroy 1 monster*) Romanovajax 08:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)įrom p3p3: Actually I beat them with 1 spirit reaper.

Just running 3 Light-Imprisoning Mirror in your deck would also help.

i lost like every time against, i can never special summon a thing unless i get lucky at times. 7 Phoenix 25 has clearly played lightsworn, I dont think anyone else has.
