Level 7 Synchro Monsters are an incredibly important part of Dueling. They have great effects you won’t find anywhere else, and they’re really easy to Summon. After all, most Decks play plenty of Level 4 monsters, and Level 3 Tuners like Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind and X-Saber Airbellum are strong on their own. Here are three Level 7 Synchro Monsters you probably play yourself: they don’t require specific Synchro Materials, so they can fit into a wide range of Decks.
There are many useful Level 7 Synchro Monsters that can fit in any Deck.
Black Rose Dragon’s destructive power gives it a place in almost any Deck, while X-Saber Urbellum and Ancient Fairy Dragon both have powerful effects that can ruin your opponent’s plans. All 3 work even better in particular strategies: Black Rose Dragon can turn a monster to Attack Position if you play Plants; Ancient Fairy Dragon lets you get a Field Spell card from your Deck; and X-Saber Urbellum works with X-Saber cards like Gottoms’ Emergency Call. Each of them can be Summoned with almost any Tuners and non-Tuners, and since they all have unique abilities they get played in almost everything.
There’s just one catch: though these Monsters have some awesome effects, their ATK is a little lacking. While Deck-specific Level 7 Synchros like Chaos King Archfiend and Blackwing Armor Master have 2500 ATK or more, the strongest Advanced Format-legal Level 7 Synchro Monsters that don’t need specific Synchro Materials top out at 2400 ATK: Black Rose Dragonand Psychic Lifetrancer. There’s never been a Level 7 Synchro meant just for attacking – it’s all about the effects – so it’s tough to attack over bigger monsters like Stardust Dragon. Luckily, Duelists who sign up for the Duelist Revolution Sneak Peek can get a new card that changes everything!
Finally, a Level 7 Synchro Monster with 2700 ATK!
Scrap Archfiend is a new Level 7 Synchro Monster, and it fills a special role in the new Scrap Deck from Duelist Revolution. But since you can summon it with any Synchro Materials totaling 7 Levels, it’s going to be a top pick for virtually every Duelist’s Extra Deck: that 2700 ATK is unmatched by any other Level 7 Synchro. Scrap Archfiend lets you attack over Level 8 Synchro Monsters like Stardust Dragon and Junk Destroyer, and you can use it to dish out more damage with a Level 7 Synchro Summon without having to risk your Black Rose Dragon. That’s good news for explosive Decks that do lots of Synchro Summoning, like Symbols of Coelacanth and Synchro Cat.
With higher ATK than popular Level 7’s like Black Rose Dragon and X-Saber Urbellum, ScrapArchfiend has a place in any Extra Deck you build. Most Duelists are going to want to play at least 1, and you can get yours just for participating in the Duelist Revolution Sneak Peek! Level 7 Synchros just got a big boost, so don’t miss out on your chance to nab this sweet new card.
