New Archfiend deck using Archfiend Matador! Primary game plan is to summon Chaos Archfiend and swing for game. You usually accompany Chaos with Emperor and Advent. Thanks to the Ritual Spell giving us an extra summon, that makes most Archfiends viable as at least a 1 of, but Advent is really good. The 500 ATK buff is nice, but it steals monsters and makes Sheridan live, giving us decent removal capabilities.
Example turn 1 end boards are usually a mixture of Caesar, Chaos Archfiend, Simul Archfiends and Shenshen. Simul is usually enough of a floodgate on its own to turn off most decks, and Shenshen is basically D Shifter. Underrated but Shenshen can also return banished cards to the GY.
Nefariouser and Archfiend Eater enable Shenshen, but also provide extended plays without needing a normal summon.
Fiendsmith just lets us unbrick most hands, and it's small enough that it doesn't become the deck's identity. The one Mutiny and Dawn's Light are there to recycle any 3 fiends from our GY into the Deck. Really useful but also the fusion monster nets us an Heiress search.
9 HTs, and I also highly recommend Triple Tactics Thrust to search Pre Prep. You can run it in the side deck for games 2-3 when you know you're going second.
High impact Matador searches:
Bone + Archfiend Eater
Bone + Advent
Bone + Palabrynth
Bone + Simul
Then anything else. You usually always want to search Bone to create Chaos Archfiend or similar.
The Primite package just gets us going, with Dipity being a Fiendsmith starter and Archfiend Soldier being Chaos Archfiend fodder. You can run 1 Link Spider if you want to turn either into a quick effect monster for linking off. There's lots of other packages but I've found this one to be consistent. Roar is also a banish disruption.
Other great considerations:
A Bao - similar to Muckraker but at a higher link rating. It's really good but Extra Deck space is very tight. I prefer running Underworld Goddess and Typhon for generic get out of jail free cards.
Archfiend's Ghastly Glitch - sometimes all you need is a pop. I prefer Simul for early stopping power, but Glitch is better in the long run I think
Deal + Berserk - fun to use but I replaced with with Mutiny and Dawn for extra consistency.
Archfiend Empress - ultimately cut her because I'm not using any Dark Spirits. I found that I just wasn't utilising them enough in this build. You could reduce your HT count if you wanted to run that package though.
Have fun!
