This deck focuses on getting a single incredibly powerful card, called the true king of all disasters, onto the board and causing trouble. This XYZ card is absolutely wild as it can take down anything your opponent can do with ease.

To help you with this, the virtual world cards make up most of the deck. Simply put, this type of card allows you to easily cycle summon nine-star cards and revive virtual world cards.

Here's how it works: In the early game, you play against three-star virtual world monsters that get the ball rolling. Once you have a Virtual World Card on the board, you can Summon other Virtual World Cards in your hand by sending other Virtual World Cards to the Graveyard (which can then be Summoned to the field). This makes it easy to fill up the board and summon nine star monsters.

You can play True King of All Calamities at the expense of two nine-star monsters that you simply Summoned. This card has an incredibly powerful ability that allows you to declare an attribute (fire, wind, water, etc.).

Immediately afterwards, all face-up cards become that attribute, and enemy cards with that attribute can't attack or activate effects. Since your opponent can't do anything, they can't deal with that 3000 ATK monster you dropped on the board, essentially ending the game.

This deck focuses on easy and consistent combos, where you use Prank Kids' powerful abilities to spawn powerful Fusion Monsters. This Deck floods the board with Prank Kids cards, giving you more than enough material to create the Fusion Monsters you want. This deck borders on relaxation while playing.

This deck is also peppered with additional cards meant to counter any reactions your opponent may have to your Prank Kids combos. These include Raigeki, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Twin Sisters.

This is how the deck works. You start off by rushing to fuse and link Prank Kids monsters, which then activate a variety of abilities built into the Prank Kids archetype. This can be done in the classic way by polymerization or by children's pranks such as Prank-Kids Pandemonium or Prank-Kids Place.

Then you essentially do this repeatedly to consistently teach us your Prank Kids skills. If you see an opportunity, you can discard Thunder Dragon and use Prank-Kids Fans to Fusion Summon Thunder Dragon Colossus. This is probably the most powerful card in the deck, with 2600 ATK and an ability that makes it difficult to remove from the field.
