Notes & Combos

Six Samurai is a classic old-school archetype that has aged into a solid rogue contender. With its straightforward combos, the typical opening board often features:

  • 1 monster negate (Legendary Lord Six Samurai – Shi En)

  • 1 spell negate (Naturia Beast)

  • Plus, depending on your hand, either 1 omni negate (Baronne de Fleur) or 1 Spell/Trap negate (Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En).

The star of the deck is Gateway of the Six. If you open it and manage at least two summons, the card becomes absolutely lethal—you can literally summon anything from your Extra Deck.

Your must-have Extra Deck lineup includes 1 Lord Shi En and 1 Naturia Beast

These are your bread-and-butter openers. From there, your hand determines the rest of your board. Options include Baronne de Fleur, Legendary Lord Six Samurai – Kizan, Naturia Barkion, or the OG Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En

I’ve even had games where, thanks to Gateway, I was able to bring out Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier and Chengying in the same turn—completely overwhelming my opponent.

Turn 1 Combo Example

Starting hand: Primite Lordly Lode + a way to search Anarchist Monk

Steps:

  1. Activate Lordly Lode to search Roar.

  2. Use Roar to Special Summon Chamberlain of the Six Samurai.

  3. Special Summon Anarchist Monk.

  4. Synchro Summon Legendary Lord Six Samurai – Shi En.

  5. Chain Link 1: Lord Shi En → add Tactical Trainer.

  6. Chain Link 2: Anarchist → add Asceticism of the Six Samurai.

  7. Special Summon Tactical Trainer.

  8. Activate Asceticism targeting Tactical Trainer to Special Summon another Chamberlain of the Six Samurai from the Deck.

  9. Synchro Summon Tactical Trainer + Chamberlain into Naturia Beast.

  10. Trigger Tactical Trainer’s effect to add Six Strike – Double Assault to your hand.

After Step 10:

From here, the combo branches depending on your hand: Double Assault lets you Special Summon a tuner or non-tuner from your graveyard to extend further. Lordly Lode can Special Summon again for more plays. If you have Gateway of the Six, you can go into Baronne de Fleur or other big bosses. Kizan can also help you reach Baronne.

You haven’t even used your Normal Summon yet, so you can drop another extender or starter to keep going.

Steps 1–10 form the core backbone of the combo—master these first, then layer your hand-dependent extensions on top for explosive boards.
