Introduction

Hi, welcome to my Exosister guide. Exosister monsters specialize in punishing your opponent when they remove a card from any graveyard while they're on the field, using themselves as 'Xyz materials' to go into their Xyz forms to create powerful graveyard lockdowns and get rid of your opponent's cards. This deck can be played as a going first deck (which focuses on getting your field ready for your opponent's plays with cards like Loading... and Loading... ) or as a going second deck (by making disruptions using Loading... and handtraps, so you go into a powerful OTK line next turn with Loading... and more Xyz monsters).

Reasons to play Exosisters

Exosister work as a great Anti-Meta deck, since most of the currently top-tier decks are very graveyard dependant. With cards like Loading... who shuts down graveyard effect the turn she's summoned and Loading... that prevents special summons from the graveyard the turn she's summoned, you can shut down a lot of decks who need their graveyard for resources. However, you might find some decks that don't interact with their graveyard very often, or they don't have any interaction at all, in those cases you have tools like Loading... to force an Xyz summon on your opponent's turn, to go into interruptions with Loading... , or disruption with Loading... . Exosister monsters can also benefit if your opponent tries to negate any handtrap you have with Loading... (a very common handtrap that banishes from 'your' graveyard), triggering their effects and going into their Xyz forms.

Main Deck Exosister Monsters

Shared Effects

If your opponent moves a card(s) out of either GY (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Exosister" Xyz Monster using this face-up card you control as material. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon.)

Exosister monsters also have a special shared effect that triggers when they're summoned with another specific Exosister monster, giving you 800 LP (Loading... and Loading... or Loading... and Loading... are the 2 possible combinations for this effect).

Exosister Stella

During your Main Phase: You can Special Summon 1 "Exosister" monster from your hand. You want to open this card always going first or second, but never search it with cards like Loading... (you don't get the same advantage, but you have enough extenders to make a decent board without her).

Exosister Elis

If you control an "Exosister" monster: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. Your main Exosister extender if Stella is not an option or if she's negated. Literally the best card in your hand as long as you have Exosister monsters on the field since you can get it on the field for free as long there's a Exosister name on the field, this is by far the best Loading... target to search if it's not in your hand.

Exosister Sophia

If you control another "Exosister" monster: You can draw 1 card. Another great card to open, you can use her as a target for Stella's effect, or normal summon her and get Elis on the field for her +1 effect.
