Samek can also do a lot more with the low-Level Normal Fairies he draws. Samek can use Dawn of the Herald to Ritual Summon Herald of Perfection by giving up monsters he doesn’t need. Samek also plays a copy of Dawn of the Herald, which he can retrieve with Preparation of Rites. If he activates Pot of Avarice to send his Normal monsters back to his Deck, he can reuse his Advanced Ritual Art to send the Fairies back to the Graveyard and get another Ritual Summon.

Using Preparation of Rites, Samek can recycle Advanced Ritual Art from his Graveyard and grab Herald of Perfection from his Deck. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for the awesome combos Samek’s Deck is capable of. He can also use Kristya’s effect to bring back one of the Fairies he dumped to the Graveyard. That means Samek is able to send 3 or 4 Normal Fairies from his Deck to his Graveyard using a single copy of Advanced Ritual Art! That lets him Special Summon one of his 3 Main Decked copies of Archlord Kristya right away. Happy Lover and Mystical Shine Ball are both Normal Level 2 Fairy-Type Monsters, while Mokey Mokey is a Normal Level 1 Fairy-Type Monster. Samek uses Advanced Ritual Art to send his Normal Monster Fairies from his Deck to his Graveyard and Summon Herald of Perfection.

With them, he can search his Deck for Herald of Perfection and Advanced Ritual Art. Samek uses 3 copies each of Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands, Senju of the Thousand Hands, and Sonic Bird to speed up its Summon. The main goal of Samek’s Deck is to Summon Herald of Perfection as quickly as possible. But underneath the non-threatening appearance of his super-cute monsters lies an incredible power. Samek is running 3 copies of Happy Lover and 3 copies of Mokey Mokey in his Main Deck. When former SHONEN JUMP Championship winner Jessy Samek gave me his Decklist, I couldn’t help but laugh.
