Corin

Ghostrick - Despite not Flip effects, the Ghostricks are a series of monsters that have effects when they are flipped face-up. They are toned down interpretations of various horror monsters that love to prank anyone who come by their mansion, which is depicted in gameplay by their trigger effects that activate when they are flipped face-up (yes, this is different than having straight Flip effects). They are separated into three groups; the Level 1 Fiends, the Level 2 Spellcasters, and the Level 3 Zombies, each with their own associated Xyz Monster. They also have Rank 4 with an Instant Win Condition. They debuted in the 2013 set Shadow Specters, and other cards' include;

• Ghostrick Stein (he's present in Ghostrick Festival, but only his hand; he's carrying Yuki-onna.)
• Ghostrick Nekomusume
• Ghostrick Mary
• Ghostrick Angel of Mischief
• Ghostrick or Treat

This was honestly the easiest deck to give to Corin; she's cute and horror-themed, the Ghostrick's are cute and horror-themed. I considered giving Angel of Mischief her ace, as Corin is supposed to be super strong and Angel is the 'strongest' Ghostrick with her instant win con, but I decided with the Festival because frankly it's the best support they've gotten in years and Ghostricks are still practically unplayable even with it. Sorry Elote. Maybe one day they'll both become top tiers...

Ellen

Shark - Another Xyz Spam deck, but this time they like to summon Rank 3, 4, and 5 monsters! With the Armored Xyz cards, they have easy access to a unique form of disruption, which is having opponent's cards being stacked under the Xyz Monsters as material; this bypasses destruction and banishment protection, and delays or sometimes even disables floating effects as Xyz Materials aren't considered 'on the field'. On their turn, they are heavily OTK focused with monster with high ATK and plenty of ways to attack multiple times. Shark and Armored Xyz are used by Reginald / Shark / Nasch (these are all the same person) in ZEXAL, and technically weren't actually an archetype until the 2024 set Rage of the Abyss, where the archetypal name "Shark" was finally mentioned on Surfacing Big Jaws. Other cards include;

• Abyss Shark
• Drake Shark
• Bahamut Shark (and by extension Toadally Awesome)
• Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer
• Number C32: Shark Drake LeVeiss

I mean... do I have to? Do I really got to? Y-you see what these cards are, right? You know what kind of Thiren Ellen is, right?

Jokes aside, Ellen owns shark merchandise, so it's not too much of a stretch to say you'll also use Shark cards. I choose Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark because A) the name Hope is in reference to Utopia's name in the OCG (King of Wishes - Hope), so it felt fitting to give this to ZZZ's first limited S-Rank, and B) I think its art is cool.

Alexandrina

Gimmick Puppet - Another Xyz focused deck, this time it's an FTK deck. With it's Rank 8 monsters, Gimmick Puppet summon an Xyz Monster to the opponent's field and destroy it repeatedly with their own effects in deal enough burn damage for to close a game. If you think there's counterplay to this strategy, you'd be partially right! The Xyz Monster on your field shuts down select hand traps, and Gimmick Puppets also have an in-archetype way to make all their moves unreactable. Yay, how fun! They are used by Quattro (real name Thomas Arclight) in ZEXAL, and other cards include;

• Mansion of the Dreadful Dolls
• Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force
• Gimmick Puppet Chimera Doll
• Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder
• CXyz Gimmick Puppet Fanatix Machinix

Keeping with Victory Housekeeping's horror themed, the Gimmick Puppets are based on creepy toys and possessed dolls. Rina herself has a ghost theme, since she floats and in commands her two Bangboos as if she were puppeteering them. The FTK also makes; Rina is a perfectionist, and the closest you can have to a 'perfect game' in YGO is to not let the turn pass over to your opponent!

Lycaon

Tr-Brigade - Tri-Brigade is a Link Deck focused are focused on the Tri-Type of Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Winged Beast monsters. The Main Deck monsters dump other members into the graveyard, as they all have an effect on field that allow them to summon a Tri-Type Link monster by banishing the same number of Tri-Types as the summoned monster's Link Rating. The Link-3 and lower monsters all have effects that allow for more swarming, the two Link-4s have both have board breaking effects, and all their floating effects allow them maintain card advantage. They debuted in the 2020 set Phantom Rage, and other cards include;

• Tri-Brigade Kitt
• Tri-Brigade Ferrijit the Barren Blossom
• Tri-Brigade Airborne Assault
• Brigrand the Glory Dragon
• Tri-Brigade Shuraig the Ominous Omen

Instead of the going with the horror theme (there's not that many werewolf themed decks), I instead went back to Lycaon's phantom thief days with his ex-boyfriend Hugo. Visually, Shuraig also has prothestics; his left wing is metal. In Branded Lore, the Tri-Brigade were all exiles from various tribes of demi-humans, who all eventually banded together to keep protect themselves safe from the Dogmatika nation. They are freedom fighters against oppression, and so was Lycaon during his time as a Phantom Thief. They also get involved eldritch horror nonsense; Lycaon, because he works with mayor, knows about the Exaltists (rip bozos) and the Creator, and the Tri-Brigade joins with Albaz and Ecclesia to fight off Maximus, who after some rituals had transformed himself into Bystial Dis Pater.
