Best Farming Deck: Cerberus Farm
The Mystical Beast of Cerberus farm deck remains one of the most accessible and effective farming setups. Here's how it works:
- Use the skill Restart or Duel, standby! to ensure a good opening hand.
- Summon Mystical Beast of Cerberus — its ATK increases for every Spell Card you activate.
- Stall with cards like Gravity Axe – Grarl to prevent Kaiba's monsters from attacking.
- Activate as many Spell Cards as possible (e.g., Cup of Ace, Shard of Greed, Pot of Benevolence) to boost Cerberus's ATK.
- On your final turn, deal over 9,999 damage for the bonus and win the duel.
Sample Cerberus Farm Deck
- Mystical Beast of Cerberus x1
- Gravity Axe – Grarl x2
- Cup of Ace x3
- Shard of Greed x3
- Pot of Benevolence x3
- Wonder Wand x2
- Snipe Hunter x1 (to burn remaining LP)
- Anti-Magic Arrows x1
Alternative: Parasite Paracide Farm
If you want to go for the Effect Damage Only bonus, the Parasite Paracide + Ceasefire combo is a great option. This requires a bit more setup but can score very highly when executed correctly.
- Place Parasite Paracide in your deck so it gets shuffled into the opponent's deck.
- Use Ceasefire when Kaiba has Effect Monsters on the field to deal 500 damage per Effect Monster.
- Combine with Ojama Trio to fill Kaiba's field with weak Effect Monsters for more Ceasefire damage.
Tips for Efficient Farming
- Use Gate Keys wisely — prioritize farming Kaiba at Level 40 for the best card rewards.
- Run 3 copies of your key Spell Cards to ensure consistency.
- The Holy Guard skill (prevents battle damage you take) is excellent for stalling safely.
- Stock up on Pot of Benevolence from card rewards — it's essential for recycling your deck.
What to Farm First?
If you're building a Blue-Eyes deck, prioritize farming for Enemy Controller and the Melody of Awakening Dragon skill. Enemy Controller is useful across multiple deck types and is one of the most impactful cards you can have early in the game.
