Konami Arcade Games Konami Arcade Games is a series of cards based on characters from Konami ' s " " video game series and other " shoot ' em up " games . These include player - controlled ships , support items , enemies , and bosses . Certain cards were created solely for the " Yu - Gi - Oh " card game with their design based upon the " Gradius " games . The majority and most notable of these monsters are LIGHT Machine s with 1200 ATK . Therefore , much of their support can be found in " " . Playing style . A Gradius Deck revolves around the use of the cards " Gradius " or " Victory Viper XX03 " along with their support cards . The main strategy is to protect your monsters from traps with the effect of " Jade Knight " and boost them all with cards you can activate during damage calculation . The majority of the Deck ' s monsters have effects that trigger whenever it attacks and destroys an opposing monster ; these effects involve increasing their own ATK , destroying opposing cards , and especially summoning more monsters . As a result , a Gradius Deck operates under a Swarm / OTK hybrid , which is augmented by additional ATK - boosting cards such as United We Stand . Another effective strategy is to utilize cards that drop opposing ATK scores , such as Gearspring Spirit . Due to having initially low Original ATK on a majority of its monsters , so this Deck must have a counter ready every turn as it is vulnerable to being overrun by large opposing beaters . A variation on this Deck reached the SHONEN JUMP Championship Nashville 2010 , using cards like " Honest " ( before it became Limited ) and " Creature Swap " . Gradius Swarm . The mass swarming of this Deck provides the opportunity to rapidly Synchro Summon and Xyz Summon . The primary monsters are all Level 4 Light monsters , allowing Lightwave Tuning to be an option . However , one might feel hard - pressed to invest largely in both Synchro and Xyz strategies while maintaining an appropriate Deck size or card ratio . If one wishes to incorporate Gradius , the player has access to the many support cards that come with being a low - ATK Normal Light Machine . A pair of Gradius may be searched using Rescue Rabbit , which can be used to Xyz Summon Gear Gigant X to search another Machine from the Deck or Starliege Paladynamo to overcome a difficult monster . Gradius ' Option is a monster that can be automatically summoned when Gradius is out , and by using a combination of a Level 1 Tuner such as Mono Synchron or Unknown Synchron as well as Lightwave Tuning , it is plausible to summon Shooting Star Dragon the opening turn . The player may also wish to incorporate other Normal Machines to supplement Rescue Rabbit , such as the Tuner Genex Controller or the high - ATK Mechanicalchaser , or any other possible Normal Machine . Keep in mind that since Genex Controller and Mechanicalchaser are both Dark monsters , it highly increases the playability of Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning . All plays should be focused on swarming and increasing ATK power . Both Gradius and Victory Viper have monsters that can copy their ATK , so equipping these monsters with United We Stand can be very beneficial , along with other ATK - boosting cards such as Honest . Other powerful Equip Cards for Machines are Mage Power , Fighting Spirit , and Break ! Draw ! Without their ATK - boosting cards , these monsters are vulnerable to high - ATK monsters . For these impenetrable monsters , simply take them with Creature Swap . This steals an opposing high - ATK monster while giving your opponent a low - ATK monster that your jets can easily eradicate . Jade Knight is an especially potent Swap , as you will still obtain its searching effect even if it is destroyed under your opponent ' s control . Although not a best - case scenario , if your own jet is destroyed by battle , it will still activate an effect so long the other monster is destroyed by battle as well ( this is because the jets do not require the opposing monster to be sent to the Graveyard and occurs immediately after damage calculation ) . Cyber - Gradius Deck . This deck presents some similarities to the popular Lightsworn Deck , as it needs a lot of Mill effects to have a lot of Machine - type monsters in the Graveyard and on the field to use the effect of Cyber Eltanin to clear your opponent ' s field and attack it directly for an OTK , but be careful , your opponent ' s Spells & Traps won ' t be destroyed , so the use of Heavy Storm or Counter Trap Cards can totally clear your opponent ' s field or save you from devastating effects like Mirror Force , Magic Cylinder , or Torrential Tribute . Additionally , this deck presents some advantages to the Lightsworn Deck , the first one is that the player using this deck can see what to discard , since cards are discarded from the hand and not from the top of the deck , and also this deck is almost immune to " Bottomless Trap Hole " and " Messenger of Peace " , but it still having a lot of ATK because of the using of " Honest " and cards like " Beckoning Light " to recover the Honests and send more spaceships to the Graveyard . If " Cyber Dragon " is in this deck , " Chimeratech Fortress Dragon " can also be used as an emergency card in the extra deck . Also , only a few Trap Card s are used in this deck , only the staples ( " Solemn Judgement " and " Torrential Tribute " ) and semi - staples ( " Raigeki Break " ) and the " Beckoning Light " because it is a great engine in the functionality of this deck . Midday Constellation . Midday Constellation is a Booster Pack in the Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX Tag Force series whose contents are made up of cards from Konami games . The pack is unlocked by entering the at a certain point in the game , and , depending on the game , costs either 5730 or 573 DP ( is a number regularly self - associated with Konami due their own number ) .
