Executive Summary

The Windwitch archetype is a compact and highly synergistic group of WIND Spellcaster monsters focused on rapid Synchro Summoning. Its core strategy revolves around a remarkably consistent one-card combo that establishes a formidable boss monster, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, without consuming the turn's Normal Summon. This efficiency makes it a powerful standalone engine and a fantastic complementary piece for other WIND-based strategies.

The Coven of the Cold Wind

Main Deck Sorceresses

Windwitch - Ice Bell

The heart of the engine. A one-card starter that summons itself and another Windwitch from the deck.

Windwitch - Glass Bell

The primary searcher. Summoning it lets you add any other Windwitch monster from your deck to your hand.

Windwitch - Snow Bell

The key to a powerful end board. It grants any WIND Synchro monster using it as material protection from destruction by opponent's card effects.

Extra Deck Embodiments

Windwitch - Winter Bell

The intermediate Synchro monster. It acts as a stepping stone to your more powerful boss monsters.

Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon

The ultimate goal. A powerful Level 8 Synchro monster with a built-in monster effect negation and a potent attack-gaining effect.

Windwitch - Diamond Bell

The in-archetype boss monster. It provides targeted destruction when your opponent takes damage.

Summon the Boss

Synchro Summon Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon using Winter Bell and Snow Bell. Because Snow Bell was used, your Crystal Wing cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects.

The End Board

Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon

Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon
Missing: 50954680
  • Monster Negation: Once per turn, when another monster's effect is activated, you can negate it and destroy that monster.
  • ATK Boost: Gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the monster it negated.
  • Battle Power: If it battles a Level 5 or higher monster, it gains ATK equal to that monster's current ATK during damage calculation only.
  • Indestructible: Thanks to Snow Bell, it cannot be destroyed by opponent's card effects.

Plus an Unused Normal Summon

Because the entire combo is initiated by Special Summons, your Normal Summon for the turn is still available. This allows you to extend your plays with another engine like Speedroids or Invoked, or simply to put another body on the board.

Competitive Analysis

Strengths

  • High Consistency: Numerous one-card starters lead to the same powerful end board.
  • Resilient Boss Monster: An indestructible monster with a negate is difficult for many decks to out.
  • Engine-Friendly: Does not use a Normal Summon, making it easy to splash into other strategies.

Weaknesses

  • Linear Choke Points: The combo is very linear and can be stopped by negating Glass Bell's search.
  • Non-Destruction Removal: Vulnerable to being tributed (Kaijus), returned to the hand, or banished.
  • Attribute/Type Locking: The in-archetype restrictions can be a double-edged sword, locking you into only summoning WIND monsters.

Key Synergies

  • Speedroid: Another WIND Synchro archetype that can extend plays and build an even bigger board.
  • Invoked: The unused Normal Summon is perfect for Aleister the Invoker, allowing you to end on both Crystal Wing and a powerful Invoked Fusion monster.
