With the ability to play during the opponent's turn (even turn 0), recover resources, add resources, and combine well with each other, Vanquish Soul and K9 are dominating the current Master Duel meta. The deck can be used with many handtraps, including Dimensional Shifter , offering diverse effects ranging from non-target, target, destroy, discard, discard, burn, etc.

Sections covered in this guide:
Vanquish Soul
Versatile, even breathing produces quick effects, dodging targets like a hacker.
Level 4, Fire element
Level 4, Shadow system :)
Level 5, Fire element
Level 5, EARTH element
Level 7, Shadow System
Level 8, EARTH element
Simply draw a Vanquish Soul monster directly from your deck to your hand without any locking or cost. Just move one monster from your hand (even if it's not a Vanquish Soul monster), then draw another Vanquish Soul monster of a different attribute and name from your deck.
You need Vanquish Soul monster on the field to use this card, and it can also be searched by other cards, so x1 is fine.
Dark Hole
Easy to get, just need one Vanquish Soul monster.
K9
It has the ability to play during the opponent's turn, shares the same self-summoning effect, and doesn't require a sacrifice if the opponent has two or more cards in their hand.
Played during your opponent's turn, this card has a quick effect (when your opponent activates a monster effect in their hand or graveyard). After the card finishes its jump, it sends 1 K9 monster/spell/trap from your deck to your graveyard, granting you an Xyz summon during your opponent's turn.
Thrown to the graveyard by Izuna , it jumps up and uses Xyz on your opponent's turn. Additionally, if this monster is the material for an Xyz monster, that monster is immune to enemy effects, dodging cards like Veiler , Imperm , or other targeting cards, making combos and breakboards easier.
This card both searches for K9 monsters from your deck (not Aqua monsters) and has the ability to automatically jump itself and another Level 5 monster from your hand onto the field, making it super easy to Xyz Rank 5, or to bring Jiaolong or Hollie Sue from Vanquish Soul onto the field.
Search for K9 spell/trap
mercenary boss
It can be searched in many ways, so x1 is enough.
Easy to level up, search for monsters/spells/K9 traps, blocks most handtraps (monster effects from handtraps or graveyards).
Staple
ROTA : A must-have for any deck with a Warrior capable of a 1-card combo.
Impulse : Searchable by ROTA, can pull Fire Attacker and can select one monster; both players cannot activate that monster's effects.
