Ygo Phantknight 1If you've been following the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V manga, then you've already seen some of Yuto’s Phantom Knight cards in action! The Phantom Knight cards are a series of monsters, Spells, and Traps that hang around in the Duel like ghosts even after they've gone to the Graveyard and gain different abilities whether they're in your hand, on the field, or in the Graveyard!

Wing Raiders introduces Yuto’s Phantom Knight cards from the ARC-V anime, including The Phantom Knights of Break Sword! It’s Summoned using any two Level 3 monsters and can detach an Xyz Material to destroy one card on each side of the field. That simple, powerful effect makes The Phantom Knights of Break Sword a great card for any Deck that uses a lot of Level 3 monsters like Speedroids or Burning Abyss! But it’s even better if you play it in a Phantom Knight Deck because when it’s destroyed you can Summon back two “The Phantom Knights” monsters from your Graveyard that have the same Level and boost their Level by one, as long as you only Summon DARK monsters for the rest of the turn!

In general, that means you'll Summon back the two monsters used to Xyz Summon The Phantom Knights of Break Sword. There are three Level 3 “The Phantom Knights” monsters in Wing Raiders: The Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak, The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots and The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves. Ancient Cloak can power up DARK monsters while it’s on the field, or it can be banished from the Graveyard to search your Deck for a different Phantom Knight and add it to your hand. Silent Boots can be Special Summoned from your hand, if you control a “The Phantom Knights” monster, or banished from your Graveyard to add a “Phantom Knights” Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. Finally, the first time you use Ragged Gloves as Xyz Material to Xyz Summon a DARK monster each turn, that monster gains 1000 ATK! If Ragged Gloves is in the Graveyard, you can banish it to send any other “Phantom Knights” card from your Deck to the Graveyard.

With The Phantom Knights of Ragged Gloves and The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots, you can Xyz Summon The Phantom Knights of Break Sword and bump its ATK up to 3000! Use your Trap Cards to keep it on the field until your next turn, and you can use its ability on itself and another card. Because Break Sword was destroyed, you can Summon Ragged Gloves and Silent Boots back as Level 4 monsters, perfect for Summoning Yuto’s Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon as a 3500 ATK monster!

There are a lot of great combos you can pull off with Yuto’s Phantom Knights, and you can start building your own Phantom Knight Deck with the cards from Wing Raiders !
