Playing style
Their biggest strength is the ability to Ritual Summon monsters on your opponent’s turn, using the effects of "Aratron", "Och", and "Phul". This effect can be used to summon monsters like "Megalith Bethor", or "Shinobaron Peacock" on your opponent’s turn to greatly disrupt your opponent’s plays. ("Aratron" and "Phul" can only summon "Megalith" monsters, but "Phul" can Ritual Summon from the deck). Then since your opponent likely has very little board presence, you then summon "Phaleg" and attack for game.
