CDP: Shinobird Spirits 2025, with TCG WP Support

Spirits always Return... to hand... duh!

-------------------------

Today's CDP features the return of the quintessential WIND Ritual theme to my channel, and as always, the Shinobird theme does not disappoint. This theme consists of Spirit monsters, all of which share a common characteristic that they bounce back to hand the turn they are summoned; however, that drawback means that they can be given some pretty crazy effects. Just look at Amano-Iwato, which shuts down non-Spirit Monster effects, or Nikitama, which can draw you so many free cards during a turn while giving you an extra Spirit Normal Summon. Now the stars of this deck are clearly the Ritual Spirits, as Shinobaroness Peacock spins up to 3 of your opponent's S/Ts back to deck on summon while Shinobaron Peacock spins 3 Monsters back to hand on summon. Naturally, this lends the deck to be potent at breaking boards, but with the help of Urgent Ritual Art and Stars Align across the Milky Way, you can also Ritual Summon during the opponent's turn as well!

Now that you've got the basics, let's talk about what's changed with this deck. Most notable is the new TCG World Premiere support intended for Libromancers, as they can really help out these Spirits. Miracle Raven is great, as Ritual Summoning itself from the Pendulum Zone can not only trigger Sakitama, but it also can serve as the sole Tribute for a Ritual Summon. ASHLAN U1000 is also helpful, letting you reveal a Ritual to tutor another of a different Type. While all of the Shinobird rituals are WIND/Winged Beast, Code Igniter will grab you Salamangreat Emerald Eagle to reveal instead, while also giving you another way to Ritual Summon! Since it's a R4NK monster, it's also very easily accessed with all the Level 4 Spirits. Oh, and did I mention that the new Ichiki Sayori-Hime from DOOD helps out as well, since it grabs a free copy of Nikitama or Aratama on summon, plus it even Normal Summons itself for free! Unleash the Shinobirds with a flourish... or just draw your Harpie's Father Storm! That's another easy way to win games in 2025, yeah!
