My take on Phantom Knights that I have been loving recently. Currently testing the Blue engine and maxing out all the PK Traps, because I want to see them more often in Graveyard with Dante mills. They're also decent generic support that protects weak monsters like Leviair, so that I don't have to convert into Downerd.

 

Plague is my personal discovery tech, and it is amazing. Plague into Chanbara pushes for game if you have another powerhouse Xyz like a buffed Break Sword. Equipping Chanbara with a PK Trap is also bonkers too. Omega is very straightforward. He's a great field presence to try to get over and recycles my stuff.

To be honest, I'm not entirely convinced by the Etele engine, aside from the Ghost Ogre making Trish.

 

Quantam Blue is a subpar card to draw that decreases the amount of cards you have to work with going first, and the "unlimited fodder" is entirely reliant on drawing Emergency Teleport, something that you have to hard draw. It's also vulnerable to Maxx "C", something that can equal game considering how weak Phantom Knight boards are.

F0 in the side is awkward, since that severly cripples your Kozmo matchup.

Honestly, the only reason I would downplay Blue is because PKs in general fail the Maxx "C" challenge a lot because they do tend to end up with weak boards. However, there are more upsides to the Blue engine that gives more consistency and power to PKs. But primarily, it's much more efficient than a lot of other Level 3 engines. Kagemusha looked nice on paper, but it too is Maxx "C" triggerable, and works only in an early game and it sucks needing to RotA this. Crane Crane is even worse. Edge Imp Sabres is versatile despite the -1, but it's not good being able to make starting plays with it. And Gilasaurus while consistent, is too risky.

 

If you haven't noticed, my side is not really complete, even though it has some side deck material. It's usually where I keep my mishmash and reject techs. But aside from that, I've decided to push off F0. Reason is because I rarely need to get into him, and when I do, either I don't have the materials to do so or that Break Sword restricts me. PKs can get over Dark Destroyer or Eclipser easily anyway. But F0 is not terrible at all; it's just that I can't fit everything, and I am currently testing out PKs without him. If the Kozmo matchup is actually pretty bad, I'll fix it up.
