Executive Summary

The Parshath archetype serves as the powerful finisher for a broader "Counter Fairy" control strategy. This deck's philosophy is not about explosive combos, but establishing a resilient board that systematically denies the opponent's resources through Counter Traps. The goal is to assemble an engine of LIGHT Fairy monsters that generate advantage from every negation, creating the perfect conditions to deploy a celestial knight to secure victory.

Competitive Analysis

Strengths

  • Resource Loop: Excels at generating card advantage through every negation with cards like Bountiful Artemis.

  • Resilient Control: Creates a sustainable fortress of cost-free negations that out-values opponents over time.

Weaknesses
