Synchro Cat " This deck is considered a Classic Deck , this page is used to tell the history of a deck rather than how it is played now . This can happen either from mechanics of the game changing , changes from the " TCG " or " OCG " Forbidden / Limited List , or the deck has slowly lost it ' s ability to be played over time due to years of no support or neglect . " Synchro Cat is an Instant Synchro deck which uses " Rescue Cat " to Special Summon Tuners quickly . The deck is well known for its OTK which can be performed in one of the following : The combo only needs 3 cards , which is a small amount of cards for an OTK . The deck is also fairly cheap , making it easy to build for players with a low budget . Synchro Cat is also very flexible , being able to make a Dark variant or an Earth variant which also helps its card variation . The banning of " Rescue Cat " in the September 2010 Lists has made it technically impossible to make Synchro " Cat " in Advanced Format . Original Synchro Cat . Before September 2009 , Synchro Cat was considered the top deck of the metagame . Synchro Cat took a serious hit with the September 2009 Lists . Many key cards , such as " Rescue Cat " , " Summoner Monk " , " Mind Control " , and " Cold Wave " were Limited ( as well as " Dark Strike Fighter " being Forbidden ) . Flamvell Cat . In the wake of Limitations to the original Synchro Cat , the release of " Flamvell s " and the card " Super - Nimble Mega Hamster " had given new life to Synchro Cat . " Rekindling " allows the reuse of " Flamvells " sent to the Graveyard for use with " Rescue Cat " in creating quick Synchro Summons . " Super - Nimble Mega Hamster " is used as an alternative to , although also in conjunction with , " Rescue Cat " to Special Summon " X - Saber Airbellum " . Rescue Neos . Before the release of " Super - Nimble Mega Hamster " in TCG . popularizing Flamvell Cat ( see above ) , there was an alternative build trying to perfected in shadows by Anjelo Figueras of the Philippines to create an economical but effective alternative variant of the original Synchro Cat . Since the majority of Synchro Cat variant users use " Neo - Spacian Dark Panther " as an alternative searching material aside from " X - Saber Airbellum " to perform a minimum of level 6 Synchro Monster and due to its ability to copy the name and effect of target monster of your opponent , its also possible to combine with " Junk and Debris Deck " to create a faster and cheaper variant of Synchro Cat in that it can gain hand advantage and Deck Thinning capability due to the effects of " Cross Porter " and " Convert Contact " . It allows to search Neo - Spacians from the deck by the effect of " Cross Porter " and dumping the Neo - Spacians to the graveyard with " Convert Contact " to improve the chances of drawing " Summoner Monk " , " Rescue Cat " , or other key cards . The theme combines deck thinning and hand advantage of the Junk and Debris Deck and the " Hand Destruction " and beatdown strategy of the original Synchro Cat , making this deck an aggressive and Graveyard - based version in contrast to the stalling and defensive - based strategy of the original due to the high defenses and the flip effects of a selected Gravekeepers . If the timing and the cards present were right it can even create an OTK . In addition , effects of the other Synchro Monster that requires plant - type monsters in the Graveyard such as " Neo - Spacian Glow Moss " is accessible in this version thus " Black Rose Dragon " and " Splendid Rose " are necessary in this deck and most of the monster card pools in this deck are LIGHT and DARK making " Chaos Sorcerer " or " Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning " is a must or allowing for dumping a precise precise number of DARK monsters in graveyard for a quick access to " Dark Armed Dragon " . Equip Cat . " See the article : Equip Cat " . Rescue Cat Turbo . See also : Rescue Cat Turbo There is a standard way to use " Rescue Cat ' s " effect to get advantage and gouge your opponent . Just use " Rescue Cat " for many combos . For example , use " Rescue Cat " to Special Summon 2 " X - Saber Airbellum s " in order to Special Summon an " XX - Saber Faultroll " or use it to trigger a " Gladiator Beast " Special Summon by Special Summoning a " Gladiator Beast Samnite " and " Test Tiger " . This kind of Deck also uses 2 copies of " Super - Nimble Mega Hamster " as an alternate Summoner for " Rescue Cat " . Due to the recent banning of " Rescue Cat " this Deck is no longer available .
