Welcome to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! the popular trading card game that has captivated players around the globe for over two decades. In this article, we'll be exploring one of the game's lesser-known strategies: playing with the powerful Kashtira monster. As you know, Kashtira is a powerful monster card in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.
Whether you're a seasoned player looking to spice up your gameplay or a newcomer seeking to learn the ropes, this guide will provide you with all the tips, tricks, and combo you need to master this formidable creature. So, grab your deck, shuffle up, and get ready to enter the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!
Basic Combo
The basic combo for Kashtira in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game involves using its powerful effect to destroy your opponent's monsters during battle while protecting them from being destroyed by your opponent's cards. Here's how the combo works:
By activating Pressured Planet Wraitsoth, you can add Kashtira Unicorn from your deck to your hand. Then you can special summon the Unicorn and use the effect to add Kashtiratheosis. Kashtiratheosis then lets you target and special summon Kashtira Fenrir from your deck in defense position, by using your Unicorn as a material.
With the effect of Kashtira Fenrir, you can add Kashtira Riseheart from your deck to your hand. And since you control a Kashtira monster, you can also special summon Riseheart from your hand. Next, you can use both Unicorn and Fenrir to overlay them for Kashtira Shangri-Ira. After that, you can use the effect of the Riseheart that’s still on the field to banish a Kashtira Big Bang from your deck, and in exchange, banish three cards from the top of your opponent’s deck face-down, while making Riseheart level 7.
Then, you can trigger both Shangri-Ira to block off your opponent's zone from being used, and cast your big bang disposal on either of your cast monsters that are attached to Shangri-Ira. And because you successfully used the effect of Shangri-Ira, you can shuttle out Kashtira Arise-Heart, using Riseheart as a material.
Finally, during your opponent's stand-by phase, you can activate the effect of Shangri-Ira to dispose of another Kashtira monster from your deck, adding to the power of your deck. So, with a single Wraitsoth, you have Shangri-Ira Road to block zones and summon another Kashtira from your deck.
Unicorn and Extender Combo
For the second combo, you can start with Unicorn plus an Extender. Extender here you can use Scareclaw Kashtira or Tearlament Kashtira. Here's how the combo works:
As usual, you can use Prime Planet Paraisos to summon a Unicorn, and then use its effect to summon the Kashtira Papiyas card.
Next, you can activate Papiyas and target the Unicorn to special summon Fenrir. After Fenrir's effect is active, you can choose to summon Scareclaw, Tearlament, or Riseheart. Then, you can use both Unicorn and Fenrir again to overlay for Kashtira Shangri-Ira.
You can also use the effects of Riseheart again to banish Big Bang. Then, you can activate the effects of Shangri-Ira and Big Bang to do the special summon of Unicorn again. In your hand, you already have the Scareclaw Extender, and you can activate its effect to banish one Kashtira card, namely Papiyas. The effect of Papiyas will be active, and you can recover Big Bag again.
Here, you can use level 7 monsters to summon Diablosis and Kashtira Arise-Heart. Next, you can use the effect from Diablosis to attach, even though it will be banned because there is Arise-Heart. After a card has been banned, you can trigger the Arise-Heart effect. After being attached, you will trigger the effects of Shangri-Ira and Diablosis because there are cards that are banned face-down.
Because your Arise-Heart already has three materials, you can use the effect to target one card in the field and banish it face-down, triggering the effect of Diablosis to destroy the top 7 cards of your opponent's deck. This can significantly decrease the size of their deck. You can also use the effect of Shangri-Ira, which can eliminate one zone.
If your opponent activates a monster effect, you can also activate the effect of Unicorn to banish one more card from the opponent's extra deck. And if needed, you can activate the effect of Shangri-Ira again to remove one more zone.
Key Cards
To arrange a deck, of course, you need the right combo and card arrangement. For the Kashtira Deck itself, there are key cards that you must enter into your deck, here is the list:

Notes |
|---|---|
|
Kashtira Fenrir |
All Kashtira monsters have the same Special Summon ability, which is also a relatively typical Special Summon effect for higher-level monsters in the game: Special Summon if your opponent controls a monster while you do not. Kashtira Fenrir has this ability as well. Fenrir is the archetype's monster hunter, and since there are only three creatures in total (including the archetype itself), you have to find them quickly. |
|
Kashtira Unicorn |
If you don't have any monsters on the field, Unicorn—like other Kashtira Main Deck monsters—can Special Summon itself. Level 7 has regular ATK/DEF at that level, much as all the others. Your Kashtira Spell searcher, Unicorn, finds the Field Spell Kashtira Birth for you from the Deck (the only Spell currently in the TCG). If you want to see the archetype's cards as soon as you can because there are so few of them. It is important that Unicorn pushes its effect through since getting to Birth helps you get to other things. When an opponent's monster is activated or when you make an attack declaration, all Kashtira monsters gain a second effect. A face-down creature from the opponent's Extra Deck is banished by Unicorn. If you drop Unicorn on your first turn and challenge your opponent to play a monster effect, it can be useful and powerful. |
|
Kashtira Shangri-Ira |
Shangri-Ira can be summoned with as few as two Level 7 monsters or as many as you like. You won't be winning any battles with 0ATK/3000DEF, but you can remove material to save it from being destroyed, therefore the more resources you have, the better. You are entitled to a free Special Summon of a Kashtira from your Deck during each Standby Phase, giving you an advantage of two Kashtira every full turn over your opponent. Due to the Kashtira Main Deck monsters' ability to banish themselves in response to your opponent's monster effects, this effect keeps bodies on the field to safeguard your LP and compels your opponent to prioritize. |
