Ordered by Aurora

Wondering what does the title mean? It's the name of a deck, nothing else, but that name from what does come from?

Neither player can Special Summon monsters. When another monster is Normal Summoned to either player's side of the field, destroy this card.
This is our first card. Maybe you know this card, I named it twice in the post regarding various types of effect.
This card has a simple text, a simple effect, and is considered a junk card. Well, who consider this card like this isn't totally wrong, but this card has a lot of potential. Let's see it closely:
Neither player can Special Summon monsters. Yeah, really, other than monsters what were you going to Summon? Just kidding. However, this one is a continuous effect, non-negable by Light-Imprisoning Mirror, if someone is still playing them.

The Aurora part of the name is cleared, what about the Ordered by part?

You can choose to negate the activation of an Effect Monster's effect that activates when a monster is Normal Summoned (including itself). If you do, that Effect Monster's controller draws 1 card.
Another easy text, but this time it is a little more tricky card.
That effect is, of course, neither trigger, nor ignition, if you were thinking that. It is a Quick Effect, so it reaches Spell Speed 2. It needs to be chained directly to the normal summoned effect, this means that if the normal summoned monster is chain link 1, this card needs to be chain link 2, if that's not possible, you won't be able to negate that effect. This is a rare thing to happen, though.
The card's effect itself does one simple and good thing: stops monster effect that works when they are summoned. This card was really good before Rabbit and Inzektors, but can still stop a lot of things, main one is Tour Guide from the Underworld. This card does stop even monster's effect that activates when a monster is normal summoned, like King Tiger Wanghu.

But those two cards aren't played together for no reason. The same way the latter card negates Wanghu, it negates Aurora Paragon too. So what does it mean? You'll have a Fossil Dyna with better ATK stats that will let you draw anytime a monster is normal summoned.

You won't be able to block Tour Guide's effect, if you have both of the card on the field, but you can negate Paragon, draw a card and opponent won't summon nothing because of SS negating effect.

What will one want to build with those 2 cards? Of course something Antimet-ish or stun-ish.
Let's see some cards for this:

King Tiger Wanghu, stops a lot of monsters in actual, stops damsel in Inzektors, Rabbit in every random rabbit deck, and pretty much every deck relies on little monsters with powerful effect, that'll help you a lot, I'd suggest to play this card in ever build of this deck, since it is negable via Order.

Thunder King Rai-Oh, second effect is pretty much unuseful here, but can still be used, however it is the first one that we need. Lock SS with Aurora, stop NS effects with Aurora, stop searching with this, opponent will just go crazy.

Tour Guide from the Underworld+Sangan, Sangan's a searcher, and even if I hate to admit this (again, I said the same thing in the Iron Chain post), Tour Guide is needed. Provides a beatstick (Leviathan or Acid Golem) and a "survivor" monster that destroys nasty things (Zenmaines), other than searching sangan, in some builds. In chaos builds it provides other than the thing said up here, even dark monsters and a retriever from the Banished Zone (Leviair).

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning+Chaos Sorcerer, yeah, chaos monsters, they're broken, if you can play them why not? The concept is, 'till you have Aurora it is ok, if you haven't, you can use those to win.

Safe Zone, protects your Aurora, and you can use it on your opponent's monster when he blind-MST  you or uses Heavy Storm. Good Card is Good.
-Imperial Custom, protects your Order, but even Safe Zone. If you reach a field like Aurora, Safe Zone on Aurora, Order and Imperial Custom, you should win.
--Fiendish Chain, this card is like a veiler that stops attacks too. If you're playing Imperial Custom, this card could be more good than it is now.
---Magic Planter, if you're playing that lot of continuous trap, Magic Planter could be good, not too much for the draw power (really good draw, though), but to get rid of some cards that are there for no reason, like fiendish that belonged to a monster used to XYZ.

Shining Angel, this card was good back in times, but right now Battle Summoners (or Recruiter, it's up to you how you want to call them, I prefer the second one) are slow and weak.

Gorz the Emissary of Darkness, this card is really good, stops a lot of decks, random OTKs, but if you can throw that against Six Samurais or Rabbit, opponent won't be able to recover fastly from this. You could think that with this lot of cards that tries to stay on the field, this card is bad, right? Well, that could be possible, but think of this: cards that will likely stay on the field are fiendish chain, either face-up or face-down, that means you have or that you can stop an opponent's OTK by stopping the main card's effect, Order, means you can stop a lot of opponent's card that could lead to an OTK, Aurora, means that you can stop opponent's summon since he does normal summon a monster to destroy your aurora, means you will remain with no cards on field and be able to Summon gorz. So if your opponent  stops your cards that will stop him, you'll be able to summon Gorz and stop him however.


This deck could be difficult to play sometime, expecially when you have multiple cards that activates when a monster is normal summoned. Here is how to play with them:
Order must be chained directly to the monster's effect, means that the effect must be last chain link. If you have Wanghu and Aurora and Order, and your opponent summons damsel, what will happen? SEGOC applies here. You'll of course want to destroy damsel and draw a card while keeping Aurora, so you'll need to make Wanghu Chain Link 1 and Aurora Chain Link 2, so that you will be able to (in order) draw a card, keep Aurora and destroy damsel.
You need to be careful while playing this, and be aware of the fact that if you have Order and Aurora on the field at the same time, you won't be able to stop opponent's effect with Order.

The Various Variants are:

Classic one, throw in the engine and some cards that doesn't interfere with that, some antimeta cards and that's all.
It is good, plays to stop every opponent's move, but could be somehow slow and if your opponent can summon a big monster some way, you won't probably be able to take him down.

Chaos Build, throw in the engine, some Doomcalibers, tour guides, TK, spirit reaper (for some match ups, and is dark and has a good effect).
Another good build, plays to stun your opponent mainly, without letting him combo. Deals best with big monsters, can take down by attacking everything that has 2999 or less ATK, and every monster with the banishing effect of BLS and Sorcerer.

Continuous Trap Build, plays to stun your opponent, has good draw power, and good beatstick. It could be the best one if it wasn't for the fact that it does clog easily you s/t zone, meaning you'll need both Skill and Luck to play this deck.

Counter Fairies Build, this is the one the fruit that falls farest from the tree (it is used in italy, don't know if it is used even in other countries, means that is is totally different from the one where you started from, like taking a different way from the original one). Throw the engine in a counter fairy deck, adjust something to take out cards that could interfere with the lock.
Haven't tried this, is an Idea I've got while writing the post, but theorically this should work good. Could take off monsters of good size, stuns a lot, has a lot of destruction and draw power. Yeah, really, should work.

Overall: deck has potential, it had more in the past but still now it is possible to be played and can be used without any problems in this meta while stopping a lot of decks. It is hard to play, so if you're looking for an auto-pilot deck, this isn't for you, really. Be sure to know perfectly the arguments in this post, expecially the SEGOC one.

    1. LOL, I entered my email and for first time ever I read a mail saying that a comment was added on the blog. I open this post, and read this.
      Pretty Disappointed.
      I see, pretty much every post on a blog that has Aurora in the title receives an automatic response, right? Wonder how you have bypassed the check with those strange letter and numbers against bots, maybe you collected them and used an automatic software? I wonder how it is, but don't expect a response since you won't read this.
      However, your objective is pretty good, only you're spamming on the wrong post of the wrong blog.
      If you're really interested in an objective, you'd need to apply yourself into that, and not use bots. If I misunderstaned your post, I'm sorry, but I really think that use a bot to reach good objective isn't just...how to say it...correct, maybe?
      But, the real reason why I'm a bit upset regarding this is the fact that you said you liked the blog without even knowing or just don't care what it talked about.
      I just won't delete the comment because you're helping India, a not fully developed country.
      This is all.
