About Gouki Archetype

Gouki is an archetype of EARTH attribute Warrior type monsters that have 0 DEF. Their main deck monsters have similar effect, that is "If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Gouki" card from your Deck to your hand, except [itself]". This effect is really good to abuse Firewall Dragon's effect to Special Summon the added Gouki monster by those effect. Giving you more material to spam more Link monster and help you make Extra Link. With help of Isolde, Two Tales of the Nobles Knights, Gouki can do 2 card combo to perform link spam! And with help from Knightmare archetype, Gouki can perform Extra Deck easier with more powerful board. To prevent card lost from Knightmare monster's cost. Gouki can use Divine Sword - Phoenix Blade instead. This equip will be sent by Isolde's effect, and can be recycled easily because we'll have so many Warrior on Graveyard. So not only performing an Extra Link, we'll get so many draw from Knightmare's co-linked effect.

Gouki Knightmare Play-style

The first thing you must do is summoning Isolde, so you need 2 Warriors on the Field. And with this deck, summoning 2 Warrior monsters is piece of cake. You can do it with Suprex, Marauding Captain, Junk Forward, or even Ophyrs Scorpio. Just summon of them and you'll get 2 Warrior on the Field, unless you have a very bad hand. In the end, you'll get a bunch of powerful monster including full-strength Tri-Gate Wizard in an Extra Link and Iblee in your opponent's Field, preventing them to Special Summon any monster. Also your monsters can't be destroyed by effect, can't be targeted, and/or can't be destroyed by battle.

Tips #1

If you can summon at least one Gouki monster and any other Warrior monster, you can go for Isolde instead of Summoning M-X-Saber Invoker first. The main purpose of Invoker is so you can summon Suprex, and you can search for Headbatt, the other important card for link spam combo

Tips #2

If you can't choose between Phoenix or Cerberus, just decide which side do you want to work with. If you want to work with left side of Field, summon Phoenix so you can summon Firewall on the right side, vice versa. This deck has 2 copies of Phoenix because I want to work with left side of Field. So if you want to workd with right side of the Field, add 2 copies of Cerberus instead, or just having 2 copies of both of them

Tips #3

If you don't have any Gouki monster in your hand, don't worry. If you have 2 copies of Junk Forward or Marauding Captain or 1 copies of each of them, you can go for M-X-Saber Invoker and Special Summon Gouki Suprex. You can also summon Invoker with Ophrys Scorpio

Tips #4

If you already have Headbatt when you summon Isolde, you can search for non-Gouki Warrior monster with Isolde's effect. So you can search for more Gouki card on the rest of combo, giving you a chance to have a more powerful board

Gouki Knightmare Key Cards

Key Card #1 Gouki Monsters

Not just Gouki Suprex, but all Gouki Monster, including the high level one. To make powerful board, you need to summon at least one Gouki monster before summoning Isolde. If you summon Isolde without summon any Gouki Monster, you'll just end with one Link-3 monster, in this deck Unicorn or Tri-Gate Wizard. Both of these monster are weak if they're alone on the Field. But the good news is, it's easy to summon Gouki monster with this deck, even if you have none in your hand.

Key Card #2 Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights

Became main link monster for Warrior-based deck, including Gouki. With this monster, you can add Gouki monster as cost for Headbatt, plus you can easily summon Octostrech from deck by sending Divine Sword - Phoenix Blade. All important cards to make a very powerful board

Key Card #3 Knightmare Phoenix and Knightmare Cerberus

The first Knightmare monster that you'll summon. With one of these monster you can summon Firewall on Main Monster Zone so you can abuse his effect later on the combo. Not just giving a good space on early combo, but both of these monster will give all of your co-linked monster a very nice protection

Gouki Knightmare Weakness

This deck will rely in Normal Summon to get started to big combo. So card that can interrupt or stop Normal Summon like Solemn counter trap family and Trap Hole family will stop this deck from start any combo. And the main critical card is Isolde, so if your opponent can immediately destroy Isolde with card like Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit or can negate Isolde effect with card like Effect Veiler or Infinite Impermanence, Extra Link won't happen. Also this deck main strength is Gouki ability to search for other Gouki cards, so Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring will make the combo weaker, and even worse Droll and Lock Bird will stop the combo because you can't search any other card on that turn. Ghost Reaper and Winter Cheries can banish your Firewall or Isolde and make this deck less powerful. So be aware of opponent's Hand Trap.

With Extra Link combo, this deck can prevent your opponent from Special Summon any monster, but you won't prevent Normal Summon, so if your opponent has The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode, it's a bad news for you. Non targeting non destroying mass removal like Evenly Matched will be you worst nightmare, because you'll have no other resource to won the duel

Another Card Recommendation

To counter Hand Trap, maximum copies of Called by the Grave is a very good idea, but this card useless against Infinite Impermanece. If you want more space in your Main Deck, you can use Instant Fusion instead of Brilliant Fusion, still searchable via Darlingtonia's effect. For Seraphinite replacement you can use Invoked Raijin instead. So if you can't use him as material, at least you can use his effect to make one of your opponent's monster face-down or making himself face-down so you won't lost him on the End Phase. Solemn family is also a good adition for this deck, giving you more disruption effect while your monster protect each other. More hand trap or Infinite Impermanece also good because you won't go first forever. And for 2nd combo you can also use Anti-Spell Fragrance instead and bully some Pendulum user.
