Hand Control - Ritua (Gishki)

Ritua (Gishki in the TCG) cards in my opinion are one of the most underrated archetypes in YGO :) Water cards, because they are not often played (before the introduction of Frogs/Fish) results in powerful support for them, often with incredible pluses. Combining this with the recursion tactic of the Ritua archetype, this makes a Ritua deck actually very flexible with many different routes the deck could go.

I however do love control decks and hate meta ones, so a nice antidote to both poisons results in me going for a hand control Ritua build.

Monsters:

3x Gishki Shadow

3x Vision Gishki

2x Gishki Beast

2x Gishki Abyss

1x Gishki Avance

2x Gishki Emilia

1x Gishki Noelia

2x Evigishki Gustkrake

2x Evigishki Levianima

1x Evigishki Psychelone

Spells:

3x Gishki Aquamirror

2x Mystical Space Typhoon

1x Heavy Storm

1x Dark Hole

2x Salvage

2x Surface

2x Preparation of Rites

2x D.D. Designator

Traps:

2x Mind Crush

2x Spiritual Art - Aoi

1x Mirror Force

1x Trap Dustshoot

This build runs many hand control elements - Gustkrake + Psychelone shuffles 1 hand card back, Levianima sees the opponent's hand, D.D. Designator + Mind Crush + Spiritual Art - Aoi + Trap Dustshoot uses information from the other cards to rape opponent's hand.

Basic strategy for hand control? :D
