Notes & Combos

This Primite + Celtic Guard build is an improvement upon the Beat Celtic Guard variant popular around 2018–2020. With the support of Primite, resource cycling becomes significantly faster. The core strategy includes the following key points:

1. Going first, the deck primarily relies on Barrier Statue and Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir to lock the opponent down. As long as the setup can be maintained until Turn 3, it opens up opportunities to bring out Celtic Guard and Celtic Guard of Noble Arms to grind out card advantage. Both Celtic Guard of Noble Arms and Time-Tearing Morganite offer strong draw power in prolonged duels, aiming to win through sheer resource advantage.
2. Going second, the deck focuses on breaking boards using Super Polymerization, hand traps, and Primite as key tools to push through defenses.
3. Instead of relying on traditional continuous trap cards for control, this build runs two copies of Unending Nightmare. This tech can disrupt Blue-Eyes’s continuous traps and field spells, as well as destroy the opponent’s Primite continuous activations—making it a high-value choice in the current meta.
4. To support Celtic Guard and Barrier Statue, the deck also includes Missus Radiant and Clockwork Night alongside Primite, further boosting their offensive potential.

The most entertaining part of this deck is watching the opponent’s confusion when I Special Summon Celtic Guard, and imagining just how humiliating it must feel to get OTK’d by a Celtic Guard.
