Tiny Little Monsters
Yummy is an archetype of LIGHT Beast monsters introduced in Deck-Build Pack: Justice Hunters. Yummy is a bright, energetic archetype built around tiny LIGHT Beast monsters that love jumping onto the field. The deck moves quickly because most pieces are free extenders, so you set up Synchro plays almost instantly. Once your Level 2 Synchros join the board, the deck grows even louder, as they loop your monsters, fix your hands, and react to your opponent mid-turn.
Yummy Lore & Design
The Yummy archetype is built around a very charming theme. Each Main Deck monster is a tiny kitten styled after sweets — marshmallows, lollipops, cupcakes, biscuits, and other sugary treats. Their soft colours and round shapes make them feel warm and welcoming, almost like characters from a children’s snack brand.
The Link monster, Yummy★Snatchy, appears as a mechanical crane-toy mascot, the sort you’d see in arcade claw machines. The Level 2 Synchros show Snatchy scooping up the little dessert-cats as if they were plush toys waiting to be won.
This archetype is Synchro deck orientated. The core here is that Synchro Monsters can be Synchro Summoned using Link-1 Link Monsters as material by treating them as Level 1 Tuners. Once done, the Monsters can be returned to the Extra deck Deck when the opponent activates a card or effect to Special Summon “Yummy” monsters from the Graveyard to activate their effects.

How to Play Yummy: Decklist, Synchro combos and Link Tuner
Overview: Theme & Core Mechanics
The Yummy deck moves like a little engine that never sits still. Nearly every Level 1 Beast jumps onto the field as long as you have a Link-1 or a Level 2 Synchro in play. Because of that, you keep chaining bodies together without much cost. The Synchro monsters then push this even further, since each one replaces itself by summoning more Yummys from the GY.
Although the deck plays low-level monsters, the pressure builds quickly. Each play improves your board, and each extender gives you access to disruption or removal. Your spells and traps keep everything flowing, since they recycle fields, summon from odd places, and let you cheat out Synchros or Links in the opponent’s turn.
The whole theme pushes towards momentum. Once you start looping Field Spells, reviving Level 1s, and bouncing or banishing cards, you create a rhythm your opponent struggles to break.
Key Mechanics
Free Special Summons from the Hand: Almost every Level 1 Yummy monster can jump onto the field as long as you control a Link-1 or a Level 2 Synchro.
Synchro Spam Using Tiny Bodies: The whole archetype revolves around making Level 2 Synchros. Snatchy lets you Synchro Summon on either turn, and many cards exist purely to serve as material.
Field Spell Cycling: Both Field Spells return themselves to the Deck, revive monsters, place new Spells, or generate removal.
Yummy Decklist
You run a high count of the Level 1s because they are your fuel. Each one jumps onto the field whenever you control a Link-1 or a Level 2 Synchro, so they act as free extenders. Since they all provide a different payoff, you want access to the right one at the right moment. Running many copies reduces the chance of bricking, and it also ensures you always have material for Snatchy or a Level 2 Synchro.
Snatchy looks tiny, but it connects everything. It places Field Spells for free, which protects your setup and starts your recursion. Since it also gives you instant Synchro Summons on your opponent’s turn, you gain reactive plays without waiting. You need enough Snatchy to see it early and as many times as possible.
The Field Spells recycle themselves, which means you rarely run out of them. Since placing or returning them becomes a mini-combo by itself, perhaps you want to open slots for different Techs and Staples. Yummy☆Surprise gives flexibility. Sometimes you bounce, sometimes you revive, and sometimes you reset your Field Spell.
As for both Traps, as we can tell, Yu-Gi-Oh hasn’t been very kind about using old-school Traps.
Combos and Strategies
Standard Starter of Yummy consist of Normal Summon any Level 1 Yummy and Special Summon another using its self-summon. Make Yummy★Snatchy to Place a Yummy Field Spell, so you Extend into Level 2 Synchro.
This line works as the most basic way to play, and it fixes weak hands by giving you access to both the field and graveyard engines.
What you really want to do is Synchro Looping. Use any Level 2 Synchro’s Quick Effect to dodge removal by returning itself to the Extra Deck. Then revive two Yummy monsters from the GY and rebuild the board immediately. With Snatchy face-up, pay 100 LP to Synchro Summon mid-combat or mid-main phase. This gives you reactive removal, flips, or revival tools while your opponent tries to push.
Win Condition
The deck wins by stacking incremental advantage until the opponent runs out of gas. You build a board that keeps returning itself, keeps generating new bodies, and keeps breaking their field. Once you stick a Field Spell, a Synchro, and a live Snatchy, you control most of the board. And, you still have a chance to make your opponent upset.
Basically, you start by summoning a Level 1, then extend into Snatchy, then jump into a Level 2 Synchro. From there, every card feeds into the next. Because so many cards recycle themselves, you rarely run out of gas. And once the Synchro float engines start firing, stopping the deck becomes far harder than it looks.
Wrapping Up
The Yummy deck works because every card feeds another, and the whole engine never stops moving. You jump from tiny Level 1s to quick Synchro plays, and then you recycle everything to keep the pressure high. Since most pieces repeat the same actions—reviving, bouncing, looping, and upgrading effects—the deck feels smooth even when your opening hand looks rough.
To be honest, at first glance it doesn’t seem like something big by Yu-Gi-Oh! standards, quite a mistake. These little cats are monsters.
Its constant recursion lets you recover faster than most opponents expect. Once your Synchros start looping and your Field Spells settle in, you snowball advantage until the match slips out of your opponent’s hands.
