im not new to yugioh, but i haven't been playing for about 10yrs. i just picked up the lightsworn deck but i want to build this "undefeated" deck to practice with. im unfamiliar with all these new cards, could you please type out the full names of the ones you've abbreviated?
Benito Samia Judgment Dragon Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner Raiden, Hand of the Lightsworn Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress Felice, Lightsworn Archer (Might be incorrect, I currently do not have the card) Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the End Minerva, Lightsworn Maiden Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior There ya go, homie. Keep it real.
Congratz to this guy for playing the same deck for years and improving on it as time progressed, he reminded me of myself and my love for my gadget deck ive been playing sense 2011. This just goes to show you guys you can still win and not play meta.
i like this guy. to see someone show loyalty to a build that they like that might not be the most relevant is cool for a player like myself who sort of feels the same way about yang zings.
Compete no, playable yes. It's really too slow, the cards are there and available but too slow. I loose more than I win in today's meta with this deck.
@Chris Don't waste your time arguing with the trolls, irl or online. Success is always closely followed by haters. Your accomplishments will define your reputation, not some random behind a keyboard. Congrats on your win!
No Needlebug Nest and why Royal Decree over Forbidden Lance? Gonna testing that CotH, Beckoning Light and Dawn Knight soon, it's interesting tech. Nice bro, happy to see Lightsworn deck topping!
Tested it and been beating the 3 meta, this is not as aggressive, but way more consistent than the regular builds... This guy deservs credit, he has changed the whole deck, in my opinion this is at least better than satellarknights, and close to shaddolls
Lightsworn will probably always have a place in competitive play, especially as an engine. However, the high inconsistency the more you depend on the mills might make it difficult. I personally play a Lightsworn Deck with Shaddoll Engine with JDs and no Fusions. I also only play 25 Monsters. Beast/squamata/falco really help to pull of great mills, its still luck dependant but much less than Dragonrulers with 33 monsters lol
Would really be intereste in suggestions/input on what to replace the two Dragon Rulers in this build with considering they're banned now. Also Mathmatician is limited iirc so I suppose maybe something like Kuribandit can take the place of the second Mathmatician?
@chris hairston ... have you made a new lightsworn deck ? in workin on one but cant really come up with anything as good as the lightsworn ruler ... any suggestions ?
This deck is pretty beast. I play ygopro and I been winning pretty much every duel, even tho I don't have the rulers because they are banned, but they are unnecessary to my opinion. Great build bro. Only duel I lost was vs shaddolls, it was a close game I didn't get good hand, and am still pretty new to the deck but nonetheless it was close. Ty
Luke Adair either with bls or diabolos, but that's like an extra edge I hardly need to use wyvern effect to get jd, at x3 jd comes to my hand pretty often, it might been way easier when the dragon rulers weren't banned, they banish monsters relatively easy, but since we can't use them only option is bls and diabolos, if you need more consistent add another diabolos, although like I said I don't rely on wyvern effect like that. Also I today's game even this deck is pretty slow, I play it because I like it A lot but I loose more games than I win nowadays.
Definitely. I rarely go into Dweller or Chain. I don't think that Dracossack will matter too much. Usually, I win with out using many extra deck cards and the ones I use are the synchros. Hope I helped, excuse my horrible grammar and spelling.
Can someone explain me Zephyros part, I just can't get what he is sayin.. Or maybe it's the lack of my english I would be very glad if someone helps me out with this one! =)
Chris ever try using a tour bus to get back your milled JD's? and very little names for the LS ever run into problems with not having enough names in the grave for JD
It's mainly good because you can make it with 2 LS or 1 LS and Eclipse Wyvern, destroy itself, getting both in the grave, AND popping one of your opponent's cards.
Teied this and it was amazing on tgo pro. I dint have some of the peices irl but this is how u wanna tun it. I run light rulers and i usually game by my second turn ni joke
You hardly have any dark monsters, even if rainbow was absolutely amazing better effect, the fact that gardna is dark and can boost your chances of summoning bls ND save one of your monsters is plenty enough of good to me.
Winda is the only true problem in Shaddolls, and you have Honest and Breakthrough, not that bad. I believe it gets wrecked by BA but haven't tested it against. Qliphort is pretty much 50/50 ^^
Chris Hairston I got 1st place at the last Norcross regional, I know what it is like to be at top tables. It is still very possible to cheat, it's not "all eyes on you" until round 8 or 9.
He always cheat. He got ban at one ycs atlanta because he play like 45-46 cards main deck but hide his last 5-6 cards so his deck look 40 so when his opponent done shuffling his deck. He try to distract his opponent by talking a lot and then he put the last 5-6 cards on top of his deck. Then when he play, he mill dandylion, wulf, and other cards and go first turn into shooting quasar dragon everytime when he go first. If you watch the beginning of the video, you will notice he rarely talk while looking straight at the camera. Instead, his eyes keep moving away from his left or down on the table when they ask him questions about his tournament report.
Chris Hairston man I'm like 4 months late but damn nice deck man. It gave me a whole load of inspiration, been out of this game for like 8 years. What do you think about monster reincarnation over the usual 3-2 beckoning lights? I was testing my deck a bit and at that speed beckoning actually feels cloggy. and btw. don't listen to the haters they hate you because they ain't you ;) you're a genius. mastermind behind that tactics, would love to see more deck profiles from you and belated congrats :)
Chris Hairston yeah I've seen a lot of decks like that but basically I'm a ls player and if at all I would play a ls infernoid with ls heavy. Other than that I'm trying to figure out which is more consistent and or quicker and you as my ls hero (literally) would know that I thought :D thanks anyways. I was thinking about 2 jd 2 shaddoll dragon 3 raiden 2 lumina 2 felis 1 minerva 1 wulf 1 lyla and rest infernoid up to 28 monsters maybe dunno though I'd miss out a lot of infernoid spells though

There ya go, homie. Keep it real.
Congratz to this guy for playing the same deck for years and improving on it as time progressed, he reminded me of myself and my love for my gadget deck ive been playing sense 2011. This just goes to show you guys you can still win and not play meta.
Topped any events with gadgets? Curious
1 regional top 8 ,1 ycs top 32 (chicago), and a two 1k's that they hold at my locals.
meta?
i like this guy. to see someone show loyalty to a build that they like that might not be the most relevant is cool for a player like myself who sort of feels the same way about yang zings.
Love to see people like him, that just do what they want and don't copy deck - and if it works (and it happens often) its just great. amazing deck!
Congratz on topping with sworns you had some great tech ideas keep it up!!!
Im literally freaking out because this is a build that is able to compete in this meta :D
i was too
Compete no, playable yes. It's really too slow, the cards are there and available but too slow. I loose more than I win in today's meta with this deck.
Jonathan Santiago ya but this was in 2014 nekroz wernt a thing yet so you might have done better last year but now lightsworns are kinda bad
@Chris
Don't waste your time arguing with the trolls, irl or online. Success is always closely followed by haters. Your accomplishments will define your reputation, not some random behind a keyboard. Congrats on your win!
he's so happy! :D like that made me happy XD
BP!
Would you change anything now that the new challgeners has come out? Love LS, been playing them for 6 months now. Love the build. Thanks for sharing.
No Needlebug Nest and why Royal Decree over Forbidden Lance?
Gonna testing that CotH, Beckoning Light and Dawn Knight soon, it's interesting tech.
Nice bro, happy to see Lightsworn deck topping!
When you get wrecked by LS players, people will make up anything to make you look bad.
I know I'm extra late but congrats on the win Chris. I play Lightsworn rulers myself and I liked how u put in zephyr in the deck. Great synergy
any thoughts on how to replace dragon rulers?
Very cool build...great tech ideas...I must try it.
Tested it and been beating the 3 meta, this is not as aggressive, but way more consistent than the regular builds... This guy deservs credit, he has changed the whole deck, in my opinion this is at least better than satellarknights, and close to shaddolls
I wonder what this guy is playing now with the Ruler ban.
Good card choices. i wonder when and why he made the decision to opt out of kuribandit in LS
Lightsworn will probably always have a place in competitive play, especially as an engine. However, the high inconsistency the more you depend on the mills might make it difficult.
I personally play a Lightsworn Deck with Shaddoll Engine with JDs and no Fusions. I also only play 25 Monsters. Beast/squamata/falco really help to pull of great mills, its still luck dependant but much less than Dragonrulers with 33 monsters lol
Call of the hannit
I was there watching that last round. Good job for winning
Would really be intereste in suggestions/input on what to replace the two Dragon Rulers in this build with considering they're banned now. Also Mathmatician is limited iirc so I suppose maybe something like Kuribandit can take the place of the second Mathmatician?
Sworn Rulers wooooop glad to see a fellow LS player top a regionals
I absolutely hate LSworns. So much JD hate, but I love seeing innovation such as this. Congrats man!
Chris Hairston how did you change this deck considering the new ban list
I wonder how his deck is now with all the new support cards
@chris hairston ... have you made a new lightsworn deck ? in workin on one but cant really come up with anything as good as the lightsworn ruler ... any suggestions ?
When the guys interrupt your profile to make pew pew noises
Would you still play this deck, even after Challengers is released? Do you think it's still viable? Lightsworn in general I mean.
Chris Hairston writing da Book
This deck is pretty beast. I play ygopro and I been winning pretty much every duel, even tho I don't have the rulers because they are banned, but they are unnecessary to my opinion. Great build bro. Only duel I lost was vs shaddolls, it was a close game I didn't get good hand, and am still pretty new to the deck but nonetheless it was close. Ty
Jonathan Santiago how did you banish wyvern?
Luke Adair either with bls or diabolos, but that's like an extra edge I hardly need to use wyvern effect to get jd, at x3 jd comes to my hand pretty often, it might been way easier when the dragon rulers weren't banned, they banish monsters relatively easy, but since we can't use them only option is bls and diabolos, if you need more consistent add another diabolos, although like I said I don't rely on wyvern effect like that. Also I today's game even this deck is pretty slow, I play it because I like it A lot but I loose more games than I win nowadays.
I so want to challenge his Lightsworn rulers with my Lightsworn rulers. This looks like a great build of the deck, I KNOW it'd be a good matchup.
Chris Hairston You have a DN account?
Chris Hairston I would be honored to play you on DN or something
Chris Hairston you have DN I am online
***** Anyone else think this was 32
huh
I keep watching, is it 33 monsters like he counted, or is it 32...?
Can somebody sent me the list of this Deck? Thank you for help !
So, a 44 card main deck. Are you secretly YGO4RealMen? ;-)
I would play a Yazi for BA matchup, but otherwise, very solid.
Can a Lightsworn ruler deck still be successful without Abyss Dweller, Lavalval Chain, and Dracossack?
Definitely. I rarely go into Dweller or Chain. I don't think that Dracossack will matter too much. Usually, I win with out using many extra deck cards and the ones I use are the synchros.
Hope I helped, excuse my horrible grammar and spelling.
Praise be our Lightsworn God
Damn so much noise around there.
Yeah! We had Blair doing another deck profile that is uploading now. AND it got Ratchet! LOL
+Chris Hairston how did you change this deck considering the new ban list
"I run Call of the Hundid" XDDDDD
KanYe West - Flashing Lights (LYRICS)
what's he saying for that 1 card on the extra deck at the 13:00 mark? i cant make it out...metszi? i tried looking it up but nothing would come up.
Maxx "c" :)
So my count may be off but his deck is 45 cards?
Tested and aproved, this guy is a genius :D
I think you need an C101 silent honor Ark (my opinion)
Can some one explain how to get the dragon rulers on the field...
He didn't lose that would mean undefeated
How old is this video
Chris Harrison - Lightsworn Prophet
what were hes matchups?
Can someone explain me Zephyros part, I just can't get what he is sayin.. Or maybe it's the lack of my english
I would be very glad if someone helps me out with this one! =)
Call is onl destroyed if the monster is destroyed so if u use it to tribute, synch, ect. U can use zeprodoes to recycle it. Msg for more examples
Basically it bounces back negated JDs and used call of the haunteds and recycles them to be played again. Its really damn good.
sonicfanwho99 Wow I got it now guys, I would like to hear about more examples, if you got any that work good with lightsworn rulers :)
TY!
so is he 1st or 2nd
This players respectable
Chris ever try using a tour bus to get back your milled JD's? and very little names for the LS ever run into problems with not having enough names in the grave for JD
this guy is a genius
What is the card name at 12:25? What number card is it ?
It isn't a number it's name is Diamond Direwolf
It's good in fire kings or fire fist, essientally anything with beast warriors or beasts
It's mainly good because you can make it with 2 LS or 1 LS and Eclipse Wyvern, destroy itself, getting both in the grave, AND popping one of your opponent's cards.
Teied this and it was amazing on tgo pro. I dint have some of the peices irl but this is how u wanna tun it. I run light rulers and i usually game by my second turn ni joke
....and the kuribandits and needlebug nest??
This guy is easily the best dressed guy to ever play yugioh #sweg
I dunno if 8-0-1 should count as undefeated
GUnityWats For this question - we should ask ourselves: "Was he defeated?"
TheCardGuyz YuGiOh
He would've if he didn't stall for time in the last duel.
Chris Hairston
well, you did. Your last turn took at least 5 minutes. Everyone watching you saw it.
kaiserkin you fucking salty nigga
Call of the hunnit (x awesome deck tho
He has 32 monsters not 33
there was rumor he has was cheating and he "alleged" stole and arcnite magician. he might be legit but congrats for the top
Confused as to how Necro Gardna is in any way better than Rainbow Kuriboh outside of BLS.
Chris Hairston hey what can I replace for math matician, nigguh is expensive
Chris Hairston aight thx for the reply
With rainbow, it has to be a direct attack. Necro gardna blocks any attack which allows for protecting your play pieces.
You hardly have any dark monsters, even if rainbow was absolutely amazing better effect, the fact that gardna is dark and can boost your chances of summoning bls ND save one of your monsters is plenty enough of good to me.
+Chris Hairston could you do a deck profile without the minerva ;-; you're my yugioh idol.
I tried this deck out... it's way too slow. I died with it almost every time. Doesn't work against Qliphorts or Shaddolls.
Winda is the only true problem in Shaddolls, and you have Honest and Breakthrough, not that bad. I believe it gets wrecked by BA but haven't tested it against. Qliphort is pretty much 50/50 ^^
I just played BA and loss game 1 but after siding I wrecked him game 2 and game 3 was close but I won
He sounds like will smith
why not run 2 rainbow kuri
Everyone at the regional was saying he was a savage cheater
Chris Hairston I got 1st place at the last Norcross regional, I know what it is like to be at top tables. It is still very possible to cheat, it's not "all eyes on you" until round 8 or 9.
He always cheat. He got ban at one ycs atlanta because he play like 45-46 cards main deck but hide his last 5-6 cards so his deck look 40 so when his opponent done shuffling his deck.

If you watch the beginning of the video, you will notice he rarely talk while looking straight at the camera. Instead, his eyes keep moving away from his left or down on the table when they ask him questions about his tournament report.
wtf he uses like 45 cards
this is fucking epic
my new target ?
oh and did he count wrong ? 32 monsters ? or am I too high ?
Ur gay
Veselin Achlarski I counted 32 monsters also. So a 44 card main deck? I'm glad to see someone is breaking out of the 40 card main deck mold.
olly dunn
ur face is gay
No actually it was 31 monsters.
He ist very good
@Nin Ja. Zephyros to bounce Call of The haunted that's it
rip
I love you
??,
This guy is the biggest cheater ever lol he hides cards in his socks
Chris Hairston So are you denying that you got banned from super games for hiding cards in your socks against Ben Leverett?
Chris Hairston man I'm like 4 months late but damn nice deck man. It gave me a whole load of inspiration, been out of this game for like 8 years. What do you think about monster reincarnation over the usual 3-2 beckoning lights? I was testing my deck a bit and at that speed beckoning actually feels cloggy. and btw. don't listen to the haters they hate you because they ain't you ;) you're a genius. mastermind behind that tactics, would love to see more deck profiles from you and belated congrats :)
Chris Hairston what do you think about ls/infernoid?
Chris Hairston yeah I've seen a lot of decks like that but basically I'm a ls player and if at all I would play a ls infernoid with ls heavy. Other than that I'm trying to figure out which is more consistent and or quicker and you as my ls hero (literally) would know that I thought :D thanks anyways. I was thinking about 2 jd 2 shaddoll dragon 3 raiden 2 lumina 2 felis 1 minerva 1 wulf 1 lyla and rest infernoid up to 28 monsters maybe dunno though I'd miss out a lot of infernoid spells though
Chris Hairston I couldn't catch the names of Ur xyz's could u help me out?
