Honest
Elder God Noden (If using "Instant Fusion")
Reinforcement of the Army
The Warrior Returning Alive
Inferno Reckless Summon
Beckoning Light
Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror
Call of the haunted
Playing Style
The archetype focuses on rapid swarm tactics and easy pluses through its "Satellarknight" monsters, both of which are used to fuel the Summon of the "Stellarknight" Xyz Monsters. This generally revolves around the use of "Satellarknight Altair" and "Satellarknight Vega" in succession to generate advantage and field presence, with the one played second Summoning another "tellarknight" to the field. At this point, multiple options can be pursued based on the situation, allowing the archetype a great level of toolboxing capabilities.
Weaknesses
As the Deck's core is LIGHT monsters, they are susceptible to "Light-Imprisoning Mirror",
Aswell as Vanity's Emptiness and Vanity's Fiend do a good job of shutting down the deck by not letting them Special Summon.
