🦂 Scareclaw Deck in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel
🧬 First: Scareclaw Deck Overview
What is Scareclaw?
Scareclaw, which first appeared in the "Dimension Force" poster set, is a Dark-themed, Beast/Beast-Warrior-Type Deck that relies on Link Summons and Column Positioning in a unique way. This deck offers a fiercely offensive playstyle with some control and pressure characteristics, along with mechanics that set it apart from many other decks.
The strategy revolves around their basic monster, the Scareclaw Tri-Heart, which forms the center of the game and has the ability to pin and immobilize your opponent if properly supported.
🧪 Second: Distinctive Features of the Scareclaw Deck
1. Column Play
One of the unique features of the deck is that it takes advantage of monsters being in the same column or adjacent columns. This mechanism opens the door to new strategies that force players to think differently from traditional monster positioning.
2. Quick and Easy Monster Summoning
Scareclaw relies on its basic monster, "Reichheart," which facilitates summoning other monsters, along with the presence of Trap and Spell cards that support their quick summoning from the Graveyard or Hand.
3. Beast / Beast-Warrior / Fiend Type Monsters
Monsters are distributed among these types, making them easy to combine into strategies that rely on supporting these types, such as "Tri-Brigade" and "Tenyi."
⚔ ️ Third: Strategic Analysis – How to Play Scareclaw
Primary Objective:
Summon Scareclaw Tri-Heart as quickly as possible, then control the field using its Restricted Effects and supporting other monsters in the same columns.
Basic Gameplay Steps:
🟢 Phase 1: Opening the Game

Use them to Summon Scareclaw Light-Heart, the first Link Monster in the series.

This monster is unaffected by attack monsters in Defense Position and forces all monsters into Force Defense Position.
It can summon a Scareclaw monster from the Graveyard, enhancing its survivability.
