Sophia the goddess of rebirth funny deck

[Ez⁧⁧ 󠁳death]

Hey guys, I'd create a deck with her.
That seems to be so funny.

I'd like to create a version with the Cowboy Gagaga, the kuinoichi magic cards to summon her esily.
But then I've no idea how to create this deck the best as possible..

Any tips?

Redeemed some tickets for her but never actually tried it.

Here's the theorycrafting I had so far though: with 3 monster slots, you will *need* to rely on your opponent to summon some of the monsters you need though. In the best case scenario, you get out 3 of the material and your opponent still needs to provide the 4th. Since they are the least common, I would definitely recommend building a ritual-focused deck, maybe something like nekroz or gishki that could recycle itself fairly easily, maybe vendread if they have enough support here.

Other than that, maybe running some copies of necro fusion to bring out a monster with generic material like mudragon of the swamp. Alternatively, you could try running the super polymerization ability to bring out the fusion on your own terms, although that's kind of expecting that your opponent will have many materials on the board anyway. XYZ will be fairly easy to make with a ritual-oriented deck by just summoning two of the same monster, but not sure how you could fit synchros into it, so that would probably be the issue. And I think you will be far more likely to run into XYZ than synchros.

Alternatively you could run a blue-eyes deck, since those are relatively flexible for the needed extra deck summoning methods and have a ton of draw power with cards of consonance/trade-in, but then you would need your opponent to bring out a ritual or brick up the deck even further by running paladin of white dragon to do it yourself.

If you don't run any abilities for bringing out the extra deck monsters faster, then I would suggest running something like attack charge that will guarantee you can OTK as soon as you bring her out. With the on-summon effect, you will likely not be stopped by the one top deck, but it it's something like drowning mirror force you won't have any way of countering it

Well it's just for fun only, no matter if I don't win her.
Thank you for you replies, I'll check this out and try my best to create a possible viable deck with her ^^

I did play around with it for a while when it was 1st added to tickets, though I've not bothered with it much since - it's never been a very practical wincon, even armed dragon catapult cannon is easier to get out.

Give and take in particular is useful if the deck can summon all 4 types by letting you force 1 type on your opponent (preferably something weak or with no potentially live disruptive effects at least, to summon shortly before summoning sophia) when you can get the other 3 types on the field, even if they're not running any of the 4 types for whatever reason (or they were too disruptive to let your opponent keep them on their field)

There's many engine options that can cover everything but rituals reliably, but most of them really struggle to get rituals out as well or end up dedicating too much to rituals and end up somewhat bricky as a result.

Ritual focused decks tend to have an easy time getting out xyzs and fusions aren't too hard as they fill the grave readily so you can use something like necrofusion, but tuners for synchros tend to be techs - cyber angel benten can however be used to search a tuner (rather than the usual senju/manju/petit) so it can definitely be made to work.

Fire fists are also notable as they cover xyz/synchro/ritual fairly reliably without having to dedicate much to the ritual side (domei/eland are both searchable, eland's negate is decent protection too) and squeezing in a fusion is fairly easy too thanks to mudragon (or you can aleister/purgatrio - we don't have their searchable fusion card ingen in DL atm, nor their fusion monster, which would be even more consistent)

That said, all in all sophia is by no means competitive and is rarely practical to summon prior to already reaching a point where you could've won without it.
