Yang Zing " Yang Zing " , known as " Dracomet " ( " Ryūsei " ) in the " OCG " , is an archetype that debuted in " Duelist Alliance " . They resemble Dragon - like creatures , but with a slight appearance of Beasts , either by having a mane and / or tiger stripes , as well as Beast - like paws and claws ; also , they have a bead inside a triangle on their chest and 3 others on their horns . All of them are Wyrm , which was a new Monster Type at the time of this archetype ' s debut ; the variety of Attribute s is also emphasized . The deck was the first solely Synchro - based archetype to be released since the debut of Xyz Monster s , with no Xyz support whatsoever . Lore . A group of Wyrms who dwell inside the " Stars " of the Heavens and Earth . They are incarnations of elements found on the planet and the power of the bright stars in the sky brought forth by " Constellar Sombre " , who has the same amount of power as a god . It ' s said that when the " Yang Zing " come together , a shining radiance will consume everything . ( This is most likely referencing to the deck ' s primary Synchro Monster , " Baxia , Brightness of the Yang Zing " , and its effect to clear away almost the entire field when Summoned . ) Origin . The " Yang Zing " are based on the " " , characters of Chinese mythology . " Yang Zing " was likely altered from " Yang Xing " to avoid pronounciation difficulties . In Chinese , " Yang Xing " may be interpreted as either 陽星 " yáng xīng " , literally meaning " sun star " , or 陽性 " yáng xìng " , meaning " positive " or " masculine " . Different scholars have different lists of the " 9 sons of the dragon " . Two of the most prominent lists are " Sheng ' an Waiji " by and " Huailu Tangji " by . " Denglong , First of the Yang Zing " is based on , which is considered one of the sons of the Dragon King , but it is not mentioned in a particular list made by a scholar . Playing style . Almost all of the Main Deck monsters focus on maintaining field presence by Special Summon ing one another when they are destroy ed . In addition , the non - Tuner , non - " Zefra " monsters are capable of Synchro Summoning during the opponent ' s Main Phase or Battle Phase , like " Urgent Tuning " or " T . G . Wonder Magician " , and give bonuses to the Synchro Monster that they were used to Summon , as follows : The Tuner Main Deck monsters of the archetype , " Chiwen , Light of the Yang Zing " and " Jiaotu , Darkness of the Yang Zing " , have effects that tend to speed - up Synchro Summons even more : the first one follows the trend of many Tuner monsters , such as " Plaguespreader Zombie " , " Scrap Mind Reader " and " Jet Synchron " , by Special Summoning itself from the Graveyard in order to assist a Synchro Summon but being banished when it leaves the field , if Special Summoned by its own effect ; this effect can be triggered when a " Yang Zing " monster you control is destroyed . " Jiaotu " can Special Summon 2 " Yang Zings " from the Deck , provided you have 2 " Yang Zing " cards in your hand to send . These effects can be used to provide quick access to the " Yang Zing " Synchro Monsters , namely : Despite being a Synchro - reliant Deck , the Archetype also has 2 Pendulum Monster s , allowing many " Yang Zing " monsters to be Special Summoned at once . Support . The support cards of the Archetype are capable of accelerate the Synchro Summons , provide expressive card advantage , recycle cards and reward a player for having a Graveyard full of " Yang Zing " monsters ; examples include " Yang Zing Creation " , that Special Summons a " Yang Zing " from the Deck when a monster ( be it a " Yang Zing " or not ) is destroyed , but do keep in mind its Summoning restriction . This can be combined with the effects of " Baxia " and " Yazi " to fill the field with many " Yang Zings " in order to set up big Synchro Summons . " Yang Zing Path " : it shuffles 3 " Yang Zings " monsters from your Graveyard into the Deck and then gives 2 draws . As the game goes on , a dedicated " Yang Zing " deck can run out of resources , so this card is very important on keeping the strategy up . " Nine Pillars of Yang Zing " is a powerful Counter Trap Card that can negate anything albeit Spell / Trap effects in the GY , and shuffles the negated card into the Deck , which can be useful to avoid Graveyard effects . At the resolution , it destroys a " Yang Zing " card , and if that card is a monster , its effect can be triggered , unless " Nine Pillars " was activated at Chain Link 3 or higher . The other support Spells / Traps card see very little play and don ' t really help with the acceleration of the deck ' s Synchro monsters . " Yang Zing Prana " is a lackluster card with four different effects depending on how your GY looks with different Attribute " Yang Zing " monsters , though it can be devastating to your opponent if you manage to achieve its last effect . " Yang Zing Brutality " is like " Limiter Removal " for battling " Yang Zing " monsters and doubles their ATK and DEF but is destroyed at the end of the Damage Step , which can trigger almost all the monsters in the archetype . " Yang Zing Unleashed " can help force your opponent destroy your " Yang Zing " monsters in battle and trigger a lot of cards , and it has the effect of the non - Tuner , non - Pendulum monsters to Synchro Summon during your opponent ' s turn , by sending it to the GY as a cost . Players are better off not running any of the three cards aformentioned , and should fit more staples Spells / Traps instead . " Exploring the effects of the " Yang Zing " monsters " . In a " Yang Zing " Deck , generic Synchro Monsters are even more powerful than normally , as they will gain additional bonuses when Summoned by using the " Yang Zing " monsters as Synchro Materials . Using " Chiwen " as the Tuner : Using the effect of " Jiaotu " to Special Summon 2 " Yang Zing " monsters : It is also possible to use the effect of " Zefraxi , Treasure of the Yang Zing " to turn a non - Tuner " Yang Zing " into a Tuner , in order to achieve more flexible options : Also , the effects of the non - Tuner , non - Pendulum Main Deck " Yang Zing " monsters can be used to Synchro Summon during the opponent ' s turn , allowing the player to activate the effects of monsters like " Black Rose Dragon " , " Black Rose Moonlight Dragon " , or " Mist Wurm " on the opponent ' s turn . " Denglong , First of the Yang Zing " also made it easier to Summon monsters like " Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon " and " Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss " , by Special Summoning " Chiwen " after leaving the field as Synchro material for the Synchro monster required for the Summon of those Dragons . Also , by using " Limit Overdrive " , it is possible to Special Summon " Cosmic Blazar Dragon " , " Shooting Quasar Dragon " , or " Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon " by returning " Denglong " and " Yazi " to the Extra Deck ; this can be a surprise factor , as this monster is commonly expected in Decks like " Synchron " , rather than " Yang Zing " builds . In addition to this , " Denglong " can change its Level to any from 1 to 6 with its effect , allowing for even more flexibility .
