Ancestor Beat Variations

Ancestor Beat or just straight up hero beat has evolved enormously over the years due to the release of new cards, the change in meta, and just good old fashioned invention from players.

There are now many variations of Ancestor Beat lets take a look at my version of the deck list that relies on Card Car D.

Monsters: 12
3 Card Car D
3 Alius
3 Effect Veiler
1 Photon Trasher
1 Bubbleman
1 Stratos

Spells:22
3 E Emergency Call
3 Pot of Duality
3 Gemini Spark
3 Miracle Fusion
3 Super Polymerization
2 Cyclone
1 Book of Moon
1 Dark Hole
1 Monster Reborn
1 Heavy Storm
1 Reinforcement of the Army

Traps: 7
2 Hero Blast
2 Torrential Tribute
2 Solemn Warning
1 Solemn Judgment

As you can see this version of the deck relies on Card Car D to gain advantage and speed up the deck also more importantly to draw the all important Veiler needed to stop your opponents Inzektors, Rescue Wabbit, Wind-ups etc. The Card Car D also helps cover the loss which Super Polymerization will take.

This version might not be so practical to any TCG players as you don't have Escuriado yet however over here in OCG the ability to remove any monster (except Fossil Dyna, Kristya, Vanity's Fiend, or Verz Opheon  (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻) in an instant with your opponent being unable to stop it is incredibly powerful. It stops Naturia Beast and Shien Locks, Quasar, Laval Stannon, and perhaps most importantly in Singapore serves as an excellent counter to opposing hero beats (which there are far too many of in Singaporeヽ(≧Д≦)ノ ). 


However lets look at another version of hero beat. This version is a bit more combo based and closer to the Arrive Hero decks than the others however it doesn't go all the way. This would be called bubble beat in the states I believe.


Monsters: 10
3 Alius
2 Bubbleman
1 Photon Thrasher
1 Zephyros
1 Stratos
2 Effect Veiler

Spells: 21
3 E Emergency Call
3 Pot of Duality
3 Miracle Fusion
3 Gemini Spark
2 Night Beam
1 Future Fusion
1 Reinforcement of the Army
1 Heavy Storm
1 Dark Hole
1 Monster Reborn
1 Super Polymerization
1 Book of Moon

Traps: 10
2 Phoenix Wing Wind Blast
2 Hero Blast
2 Torrential Tribute
2 Solemn Warning
1 Solemn Judgment
1 Starlight Road

This is not like other TCG Bubblebeats I believe but it does open up the possibility to spam a field full of monsters none the less while still maintaining control elements. This version plays less super polymerization as there is no Card Car D to make up for the cost. In exchange though this deck has much easier access to some exceeds such as Shock Master and Verz Ouroboros.

This deck runs Phoenix Wing Wind Blast as sometimes we might need to discard an extra card to spam the field with Bubbleman. This can also open up interesting plays as well such as discarding a card to make sure you have 0 cards in hand and on field to summon Bubbleman and draw 2.

Now lets look at another version of Hero Beat this one more similar to previous formats.

Monsters: 11
3 Alius
3 Effect Veiler
2 Thunder King Rai-Oh
1 Gorz the Emissary of Darkness
1 Honest
1 Stratos

Spells: 18
3 E Emergency Call
3 Pot of Duality
3 Gemini Spark
2 Miracle Fusion
2 Forbidden Lance
1 Forbidden Chalice
1 Super Polymerization
1 Reinforcement of the Army
1 Monster Reborn
1 Dark Hole
1 Book of Moon
1 Heavy Storm

Traps: 11
2 Solemn Warning
2 Torrential Tribute
2 Hero Blast
1 Solemn Judgment
1 Starlight Road
1 Dimensional Prison

This deck is more of an old school era deck that I feel works quite well in todays format. With all the Chaos Dragons running around now Rai-Oh gains relevancy once again and there are not that many Inzektors in Singapore anyway.

However we cannot discount Inzektors still even though there are less of them so we maindeck the one Forbidden Chalice as tech. We play Lance over Cyclone because it is more versatile in battle situations since this deck has trouble running over some of the larger boss monsters.

Two Miracle Fusion only which is quite surprising but drawing Miracle Fusion without any Heroes is terrible and this deck doesn't get Heroes at all sometimes. Instead we run stuff like Dimensional Prison for the Hero mirror and Chaos Dragon matchup. Honest is an old favorite that will work well in a format full of dragons and heroes.

Our last variation of Ancestor Beat is a TCG version of the deck that I would use in the OCG.

Monsters:11
3 Alius
2 Beast King Barbaros
2 Thunder King Rai-Oh
2 Effect Veiler
1 Crusader of Endymion
1 Stratos

Spells:18
3 Gemini Spark
3 Pot of Duality
2 Miracle Fusion
2 Forbidden Lance
2 E Emergency Call
1 Reinforcement of the Army
1 Super Polymerization
1 Book of Moon
1 Monster Reborn
1 Dark Hole
1 Heavy Storm
                                                                                                                                        
Traps:12
2 Skill Drain
2 Torrential Tribute
2 Solemn Warning
2 Compulsory Evacuation Device
1 Dimensional Prison
1 Hero Blast
1 Solemn Judgment
1 Starlight Road

This is a TCG version of Skill Drain Hero Beat built for the OCG. Barbaros is a force to be reckoned with if your opponent can't stop him smashing the opponent with 3k when backed up with Skill Drain. Skill Drain is one of the strongest cards in the format since it kills almost every deck Inzektors, Chaos Dragon, Heroes, Hieratics many of these decks lose to one Skill Drain backed up with Barbaros. This deck doesn't special summon much either seeing as there are only 2 Miracle Fusion and only 1 copy of Super Polymerization so its good for budget players who might not have the money for all the expensive Exceeds.

Lance over Cyclone once again because its more useful in this deck and only one Hero Blast since the deck Can't get Alius as easily once again. Nothing special here but I like the deck and its fun to watch people unable to do anything and slowly kill them by beating them with one Barbaros or Alius.


So what do you think is your favorite version of Ancestor Beat?

Whatever it is enjoy playing Heroes since this format is one in which they truly shine in.
