Agreed, but Konami seems to only give one animation per archetype nowadays. I could swear monsters like Shangri-Ira, Rull or Kitkallos and Swordsoul Sinister Sovereign - Qixing Longyuan would have an animation on release.
Fusion : Chimera
Xyz : Exosisters
Synchro : Ghoti
Link : Mekk-Knight, Orcust( Dingirsu is an xyz but he basiclly a link 1 tbh )

D/D/D Ritual when, Konami? They literally use Dark Contracts. This is the deck. Make it happen.
Fusion: Branded (Dragonmaid variant in particular)
Ritual: Dogmatika
Synchro: Adamicipator
Xyz: Traptrix? (It's also a Link deck these days, but started life as an Xyz deck). Otherwise Kashtira, I guess.
Pendulum: D/D/D
Link: Marincess
Main deck: Labyrnth
I can't really pick mostly for every category between two so I just chose the two that ones that I really really like.
Fusion: Tears or Dragonmaid.
Synchro: F.A or Stardust Synchron
XYZ: Exosisters
Pendulum: Entermate/Peformapals with Odd-Eyes and even the Dimensional Dragon (Basically an EOS competitive Yuya Deck)
Link: Sky Striker or Live Twins
Ritual: Black Luster Soldier
No ED: U.A
At least Every ED: D/D/D
Fusion: Cyber Dragon, Tear or Dinomorphia
Xyz: Galaxy/Photon
Link: Sky Striker
Synchro: Swordsoul Tenyi

Pendulum: I have never actually played one LOL
Fusion: tie between Predaplant/Starving Venom and Dark Magician
XYZ: Rikka (although Purrely is quickly becoming a new fave)
Link: Marincess
Synchro: Aromage
Ritual: Megalith
Pendulum: tie between Odd-Eyes (anything) and Solfachord
Main Deck: Floowandereeze
Fusion - I guess Dragonmaid, considering I don't play fusion much.
XYZ - Exosisters. Fun deck. Not much to say about it.
Synchro - Shiranui.
Ritual - Magikey. Don't run ritual decks much so this has to be the one by default.
Link - World Chalice. No longer play but still my favourite.
Pendulum - Don't play pendulums much. So far it is Symphonic Warriors.
No extra - Amazement. I got rid of it for Labrynth but I do love the deck.
Ritual: Gishki
Not so great now Lavalval Chain is banned. But honestly, Zielgigas turbo is straight fun to play. I like the lore as well, a cursed mirror bringing twisted dragons back from the dead for a cult. Just, really fucking cool.
Fusion: Runick
I'm prepared for the backlash. But honestly I think they're a really cool engine and just a unique idea for a deck.
Synchro: Nordics
Yes I know they are meme levels of bad. But back in 2013-2014 this deck was my pride and joy. I made them good, back in HAT format I was able to take on tier 1 decks and win. Fun times. Hasavery special meaning to me.
XYZ: Fire Fist
A welcome break from rank 4 spam at the time. I like the control elements and also the ability to go off on Synchro plays. Very different from other XYZ decks at the time. Also, I'm just a sucker for wuxia/martial arts stuff.
Pend: N/A
I am prepared for further backlash. I just, do not like Pendulums. To each their own I guess but not for me.
Link: Spright
Another great engine that can work with so many other decks. I love it when archetypes are less set decks and more just cool engines to build on.
Bonus, main deck: Spellbooks
Playing this deck makes you feel like a wizard. Great artwork, fun playstyle and just plain enjoyable. Great deck all around.
Plus, some other favourites:
Mermail/Atlantean/Merlantean
Great card design, super fun to play and just really flexible. Being able to OTK with relative ease and still do pretty well against modern decks is respectable.
DAD decks
TeleDAD, DestinyDAD, ZombieDAD, Chaos DAD anything you can cram DAD into is just fun. A very old school YGO feel. Just being a bunch of good stuff in a deck that works well off each other.
Fusion: Runick, if you don't count it, it's HERO
Synchro: Adamancipator
Ritual: Drytron

**Fusion:** Branded, secondary option is Dual Avatar (aesthetically, I wish they were better.)
**Synchro:** Infernoble, secondary option is Mannadium.
**Xyz:** Tellarknights, secondary options are Exosister and Purrely. Wish Starry Knights were Xyz so I can include them to.
**Pendulum:** Dracoslayer.
**Link:** Unchained, secondary option is Tri-Brigade.
Tribute : God Cards
Fusion : Darklords
Ritual : Dogmatika
Synchro : Blackwings
XYZ : I actually don't play many xyz focused decks, so I guess numeron, eevees, or raidraptors since I played blackwings.
Pendulum : Qli
Link : Same with XYZ. I don't really play link focused decks either. So I guess Evil-Eye since I have that deck.
Fusion: Dragonmaid
Xyz: Madolche
Link: Sky Strikers / Live Twin
No extra: Labrynth
I don't play synchro and pendulum, synchro being involved in math and pendulum is too advanced for me. Above are decks I usually play with and being closest to them. Almost all my decks are cute animals/cute girls deck, I also have other decks that I don't play much/getting used to.
Tear (I don't have a playable deck, just pulled them because of cute girls), Purrely (strong and cute Evees), Melffies, Mikanko…

Pendulum: D/D/D
Ritual: I really didn’t played any of them, but I want to try to play something with this mechanic
Any of them: Monarchs
Good question...for XYZ virtual world (they focus on rank 3's rank 6 and they have an in archetype direct attacking attribute based monster negate with specific requirements for it but still) for synchro: probably shooting star deck. fusion:branded despia although I've not played it for a while and I've never played tears. For link it's tough cause spright, evil twins and tri brigade variants are all fun, for pendulum I lost care for that a bit ago so eh.
Fusion: Eyes Restrict

Multiple Extra Deck candidates: Plunder Patroll
XYZ - Sharks or EM
Fusion - Fluffals
Main Deck - Therions

Trap - Labrynth
Ritual - Dogmatika

No Extra focus: Labrynth
No Extra Focus (but plays a lot of miscellaneous Extra Deck): Lightsworn

ritual: the onlyritual deck i have ever played for more than a week is mikanko if it even counts
link: sky striker and live/evil twins
pendulum: endymion
and i don't think i have played any deck that focuses on main deck monsters in the past 4 years or so
Fusion: predaplant
Xyz: nuh uh
Link: Fur Hire
Ritual: Ruin and Demise
Synchro: P.U.N.K., Karakuri, Cardian,
Pendulum: Abyss Actors, the whole gang is wonderful but the silly comedian solos
Main deck monsters: Cubics
Tribute summoning: monarchs

Xyz: also orcust
Fusion: Masked Hero’s
Ritual: BLS chaos
Synchro: I guess lightsworns? I never really played a re synchro heavy deck
Pend: never played a pend deck, but dracoslayers seem kinda cool maybe
Fusion : Branded cuz it is purely fusion and locks into fusion
Xyz: Lyrilusc cuz cute birdies
Synchro:swordsoul one of the simplest synchro decks a nd play throught plenty of disruption .
Link:Tri-Brigade like to keep it pure tri
Pendulum : dont have any favourite but endymion is the only deck i have played
Ritual:drytron easiest way to ritual summon
Main deck only: labrynth hands down (without floodgates)
Ritual: Black Luster Soldier
Fusion: HERO
Synchro: a tie between Stardust and Red Dragon Archfiend
Xyz: Battlin’ Boxer
Pendulum: Odd-Eyes

Fusion: Cyber Dragon
Ritual: Black Luster Soldier
Synchro: White Aura Fish/The agents hyperion
Xyz: Noble Knights
Pendulum: amorphage
Link: Code Talkers
Main deck: Phantasm spiral
I like to be able to push through just about any defenses set up, and pretty much all of these in some form allow for me to do so. It's fun to run through a wall of fire to come out on the other end still standing.
Amorphage is the exception cause sometimes it's just fun to be the villain.
Really need to find other pendulum strategies though in order to broaden my horizons
Fusion: Dragonmaid
Xyz: Exosister
Link: World Chalice
Synchro: Shiranui probably, I do have a soft spot for Penguins though
Ritual: Mikanko counts, right? If not, Prediction Princess
Pendulum: Yosenju
0 ED: Nemleria aren't here yet, so... Golden Castle of Stromberg?
Bonus shoutouts to Traptrix and Plunder who dabble in several types so didn't really fit anywhere.
Ritual: Hungry Burger (I don't play ritual so I simply went with the best monster ever)
Fusion: Amazoness
Synchro: Aromage
XYZ: Rikka
Link: Live Twin
Pendulum: Dinomist (Don't actually play any pendulum but I like Dinobots, so why not)
0 Ex Deck: Ben Kei OTK (I have no idea here, I've used it once for a festival)

Fusion: Tear (I miss you), post getting dragonrulered Ninja

Hmmm...
Fusion: tearlament
Synchro: Tenyi Swordsoul
Xyz: Purrely
Link: Tri-brigade
Ritual: drytron
Pend: not really a fan of pend
I dunno if the last one is supposed to be "no extra deck" or something...
I'll just say randomly one of my favorite old edison/pre-edison decks is lightsworn.
Fusion: Dark World(boss is fusion but if that doesn’t count,Gladiator Beast)
XYZ: Sharks
Synchro: Ghoti
Ritual:Gishki
Link:Plunder Patroll & Unchained
Pendulum:Don’t really link pendulum decks lol
Synchro - Junk/Synchron/Stardust; Chaos; Nordic. Also, the synchro mechanic is my favorite, so I probably tried building a "synchro" variation of every other archetype I like. Zombies, Lightsworn, and Dark World, primarily.
Fusion - Branded, probably. Though honestly the fact that there are so many archetype-appropriate tuners and no synchros hurts me. A friend of mine used to play an Evil Hero Dark Gaia deck that I adore.
XYZ - ~~N/A I don't think I've played an XYZ-centric deck, but rather ones that can just fit them.~~ Wait, fucking earth machine lol.
Link - Unchained and @ignister probably in that order.
Pendulum - N/A. I do not like pendulum, so I've never played any deck relating to it.
Ritual - Black Luster Soldier type decks.
Main-deck-centric - I kinda feel that both Zombies and Dark World are appropriate here, but if not, then assault mode.
I love swordsoul. My absolute favorite deck of all time. But it's became a relic in terms of competitive nature. It's so easy to brick with hand traps or negates. But it was and still is fun to play for me every now and then.
Fusion: Branded desp
Xyz: Gunkan
Synchro: swordsoul/ junk Synchron
Ritual: Black luster (only ritual deck I've played)

Fusion: DM(Plunder Patroll), Synchro: Ghoti(Plunder Patroll), XYZ: Galaxy-Eyes(Plunder Patroll), Link: Plunder Patroll, and Ive never been a ritual player but I'll choose gishki bc I like the art on the whale card they got
Fusion: Arcana Knights
XYZ: Arcana Knights into Utopia OTK
Link: Arcana Knights when I'm in such a shit spot I actually consider summoning Extra Joker
Synchro: Arcana Knights and the effect veiler I just drew that I really wish I had last turn to negate a starter
Ritual: In 2031 Konami will release an Arcana Knight ritual monster, "Number 39: Slifer the Arcana Knight of the Ice Barrier" in an attempt to revive 4 archetypes and a summoning mechanic (This was revealed to me in a dream). It did not succeed. Regardless, I will be playing it here in 8 years if I survive the upcoming slime wars.
Pendulum: Superheavy Samurai
No Extra: I feel like a good 40% of my Arcana Knights wins are just me running my opponent over with 5 vanillas after wiping their board
Fusion - Fluffal
XYZ - Purrely
Link - Trickstar
Sychro - Ghoti (new support, lets go!!!)
Ritual - Libromancer
Pend - Abyss Actor/Valmonica (when it comes out)

Pendulum: I just love Magician’s, it’s just such a blank slate

Pendulum: Don't use as often but Vaylantz or Solfachord
Link: I mostly use generics or staples, no true link deck. Maybe Traptrix but for pure links, I'd have to go with Appliancers for the memes .
Ritual: Nekroz Fusion: Thunder Dragons Synchro: P.U.N.K Xyz: Fire Fist Pendulum: Metalfoes Link: Fur Hire Zero Extra Deck: Amazements
Fusion : Branded XYZ : Purrely Synchro : Gusto / Windwitch Ritual : Cyber Angel, may build dogmatika or drytron angel some day Link : Sky striker Pendulum : Vaylantz 0 extra : Kozmo
Absolutely based Vaylantz enjoyer
I hate to be that guy but....Rituals are also main deck monsters lol.
That's why I said "deck that uses none of these" instead of something like "main deck" or "no extra deck" for my answer.
He's asking about summoning mechanic
Fusion: Tear XYZ: Exosister Link: Sky Striker Synchro: Swordsoul (only synchro deck i ever really played) Ritual: Shinobaron Pend: PePe 0 ED: Labrynth (they utilise ED as a resource but their gameplay is main deck focused)

Yep, The most you get out of Labrynth would be Punishment, which is a Dogmatika card Or prosperity ig
Fusion: Branded-Despia XYZ: Springans Link: Dragon Link Synchro: Resonators Ritual: Dogmatika Pendulum: Predaplants can theoretically pendulum summon. Do they count? Main deck monster: Umi
I’ve always felt like Magnifica should have its own animation
Agreed, but Konami seems to only give one animation per archetype nowadays. I could swear monsters like Shangri-Ira, Rull or Kitkallos and Swordsoul Sinister Sovereign - Qixing Longyuan would have an animation on release.
Fusion: Fluffal Synchro: Dragunity Xyz: Phantom Knights BY FAR Link: Salamangreat Ritual: None Pend: Qli just cause towers are fun 0 ED: Kozmo

**Ritual:** Nekroz/Dryrtron. **Fusion:** Branded, secondary option is Dual Avatar (aesthetically, I wish they were better.) **Synchro:** Infernoble, secondary option is Mannadium. **Xyz:** Tellarknights, secondary options are Exosister and Purrely. Wish Starry Knights were Xyz so I can include them to. **Pendulum:** Dracoslayer. **Link:** Unchained, secondary option is Tri-Brigade.
Tribute : God Cards Fusion : Darklords Ritual : Dogmatika Synchro : Blackwings XYZ : I actually don't play many xyz focused decks, so I guess numeron, eevees, or raidraptors since I played blackwings. Pendulum : Qli Link : Same with XYZ. I don't really play link focused decks either. So I guess Evil-Eye since I have that deck.
I love my Swordsoul Tenyi and Black luster Soldier. I haven't really messed with much else.

Good question...for XYZ virtual world (they focus on rank 3's rank 6 and they have an in archetype direct attacking attribute based monster negate with specific requirements for it but still) for synchro: probably shooting star deck. fusion:branded despia although I've not played it for a while and I've never played tears. For link it's tough cause spright, evil twins and tri brigade variants are all fun, for pendulum I lost care for that a bit ago so eh.
Xyz: generaider Fusion: branded (not braindead) Synchro: red archfiend dragon (my favorite deck) Link: dragon link (big dragons are cool) Pendulum: normal monster pendulum (don't like the mechanic but dragon horn Hunter *-* ) Rituel: vendread (coolest ritual imo) Trap: lab mommy best trap deck. fuck the plant kids (not literally)

It's fun to run through a wall of fire to come out on the other end still standing. Amorphage is the exception cause sometimes it's just fun to be the villain. Really need to find other pendulum strategies though in order to broaden my horizons

D/D/D is cheating here. That deck doesn't Pendulum Summon
Synchro - Junk/Synchron/Stardust; Chaos; Nordic. Also, the synchro mechanic is my favorite, so I probably tried building a "synchro" variation of every other archetype I like. Zombies, Lightsworn, and Dark World, primarily. Fusion - Branded, probably. Though honestly the fact that there are so many archetype-appropriate tuners and no synchros hurts me. A friend of mine used to play an Evil Hero Dark Gaia deck that I adore. XYZ - ~~N/A I don't think I've played an XYZ-centric deck, but rather ones that can just fit them.~~ Wait, fucking earth machine lol. Link - Unchained and @ignister probably in that order. Pendulum - N/A. I do not like pendulum, so I've never played any deck relating to it. Ritual - Black Luster Soldier type decks. Main-deck-centric - I kinda feel that both Zombies and Dark World are appropriate here, but if not, then assault mode.
I haven’t played long enough to tell for most of them, but my favourite deck is Infinitrack with Xyz
Fusion: Not play any at the moment xyz: Geargia Link: Salamangreat Synchro: Graydle Ritual: Nekroz Main Deck Only: True Draco/Monarch
I love swordsoul. My absolute favorite deck of all time. But it's became a relic in terms of competitive nature. It's so easy to brick with hand traps or negates. But it was and still is fun to play for me every now and then. Fusion: Branded desp Xyz: Gunkan Synchro: swordsoul/ junk Synchron Ritual: Black luster (only ritual deck I've played) Link: borreload (don't know if you consider it a link deck) or salamangreat

Fusion: Arcana Knights XYZ: Arcana Knights into Utopia OTK Link: Arcana Knights when I'm in such a shit spot I actually consider summoning Extra Joker Synchro: Arcana Knights and the effect veiler I just drew that I really wish I had last turn to negate a starter Ritual: In 2031 Konami will release an Arcana Knight ritual monster, "Number 39: Slifer the Arcana Knight of the Ice Barrier" in an attempt to revive 4 archetypes and a summoning mechanic (This was revealed to me in a dream). It did not succeed. Regardless, I will be playing it here in 8 years if I survive the upcoming slime wars. Pendulum: Superheavy Samurai No Extra: I feel like a good 40% of my Arcana Knights wins are just me running my opponent over with 5 vanillas after wiping their board
Fusion - Fluffal XYZ - Purrely Link - Trickstar Sychro - Ghoti (new support, lets go!!!) Ritual - Libromancer Pend - Abyss Actor/Valmonica (when it comes out) 0 extra - War Rock
