The Yomi/Kamiumi

The Yomi (黄泉) and Kamiumi (神産) are two common names shared between a series of Purple and Green cards beginning from BS55. The Purple cards are specifically "Yomi"-named, while the Green cards are specifically "Kamiumi"-named. Both archetypes aim to support Grandwalkers Izanagi & Izanami. The names are also related to the backgrounds of both Grandwalkers. The name "Yomi" refers to hell depicted in Japanese mythology and is the place where Izanami stays after she passed away; while "Kamiumi" is the name of the story of the birth of gods in the same mythology.
== Play Style ==
The deck of Yomi and Kamiumi revolves around the "Plant Spirit" and "Spiritual Beast" families. The Green cards are specifically in the "Plant Spirit" family, while the Purple cards are specifically in the "Spiritual Beast" family. Their tactic is mainly to spam the board, but most of the time that can only happen when the player manages to deploy Izanagi & Izanami, mainly to set up two staple symbols for easier summons later on. The deck then attempts to stretch out the board by summoning Spirits from hand and trash through effects. However, since the player is required to pay the costs for the Spirits summoned through the effects, the chain is relatively controlled than a regular spam deck. Of course, being partly a Green deck, they have enough cores to sustain a large number of Spirits.
The player usually attacks when they can, but some may prefer to stall until they manage to summon The KamiumiGreatRouseBeast Ooyashima, and through its effect, summoning The KamiumiMountainDeity Ooyamatsumi for board immunity. Then The YomiThunderGod Honoikazuchi is also on the field to increase the opposing hand cost, preventing them from using Magic cards to stop the assault. The Grand Field of Izanagi & Izanami prevents opposing Burst effects. If there are not enough Spirits on the field, the player can always activate the Grand Skill or use The Yomi Path to Reincarnation to summon more from the trash. As mentioned above, since the Spirits themselves also have effects to summon others, one summon can easily result in two or more summons.
The deck has an excellent combination of colors, with Purple increasing the draws, and Green increasing the cores. However, it still suffers from the usual trend of Green decks which rely on Grandwalker Nexuses heavily, meaning that if the deck does not manage to maintain Izanagi & Izanami on the field, it is hardly functional. Since the Grandwalker is also relatively high cost, with a cost of four, and there are rarely other Nexuses in the deck, the player will always have a slow set up. As such, players may choose to put in The Purple World or The Green World for unremovable symbols, more draws, and more cores. The deck also lacks a way to discard cards from hand, and then summon from trash, so players may put The MakaiFogDragon Mistwurm to help with that. As a spam deck, it also has few choices in terms of defence, forcing the deck to obey to the hit-or-miss tactic.
