Okay. I really really really love Gustos. Like a lot. They're great at one of the things I like to do - to stall attacks. They're all cool-looking, too. So that's a plus! And, I do know that Psychic Gustos aren't as unpopular as the other decks I do reviews on (at least, not most of them) but I still wanted to do a deck review. Because Gustos are badass and you know it.
Like creature swapping, and thus being able to abuse your opponent's monsters? Use Gustos.
Like being able to avoid direct attacks for a long time? Use Gustos.
Like Synchro Summoning? Use Gustos.
Like putting monsters back into your deck to use later? Use Gustos.
Like having multiple effects that revolve around having stuff in your grave? Use Gustos.
Like having annoying decks? Use Gustos.
But I will say this. If you're not doing completely pure, and even sometimes if you are, you'll be going over 40 cards. Because Gustos do actually need some support. But if they have it, then they're ready to rape things once they've wasted all their opponent's monsters or taken them.
One thing though - get rid of anything that would banish your monsters like Dimensional Fissure or Macro Cosmos ASAP. Run 3 MSTs, whatever, I don't care. Just get rid of them. Imperial Iron Wall is also an option.
We should all know the Gusto loop.
Collectively, these monsters block nine attacks. And that's only if you don't recycling them back to your deck. And if you're not, you shouldn't be playing gustos. Because you have no idea how to use them.
Anyways, once your grave is full, or you see an opportunity to take a strong monster, that's when you strike. Especially if the opponent has something like Horus, that's a problem. Whip out your Reeze, Whirlwind of Gusto and swap it for an Egul. Myself, I use Emergency Teleport for a tribute. On the other hand, however, you can also get Psychic Jumper if you have something like Winda, even though you don't get a summon for her. But I mean, seriously. Winda's pretty and great and all, but you'd be getting a Horus. Or another strong monster. I don't think you'd mind not getting a summon from Winda.
(Just to tell you - the reason you don't get a summon from Winda is because she says destroyed by your opponent's monster, not just destroyed like Egul says, and she's destroyed by your monster and sent to your grave... so.)
On the front of having a full grave, let me just toss you a few card names:
That's most of the stuff that'll be recycling back into your deck. You need all of those cards (except maybe Gusto Whirlwind, but it's always a nice card to have in tough situations.)
Winda, Priestess of Gusto
Reeze, Whirlwind of Gusto
Krebons (there's no good level 2 gusto tuner since Falco sucks in my opinion, so having Krebons is nice - he's also DARK, which means Dark Simorgh is an option)
And the Extra Deck will be up to you, other than the Daigusto synchros, because there are a lot of options!
