Decklists: Toaru-verse/Science Side/Index Protagonists

Touma uses a Anti-Meta Banish Deck, focusing primarily on the  archetype. His strategy involves disrupting the opponent by banishing their cards and undermining their Special Summoned monsters, while using banishment tactics to further his own plays. He generally plays defensively to start, including several floodgates such as "" and "" that banish the opponent's resources and renders them unable for use, while he himself is not greatly affected. "Macro Universe" is also a powerful play starter, guaranteeing one-card access into "Silver Homunculus" and "Shining Homunculus" which provides him with a negation on the board to stifle the opponent's plans.

Touma also includes Pendulum Monsters that, even on an empty field, have disruptive effects. "Selene - The Elegance of Helios" can change the Levels of monsters, making it more difficult for the opponent to Synchro or Xyz Summon, and "Asteria - The Starlight of Helios" can banish face-up Spells, making it extremely difficult for the opponent to use cards such as runes or "Polymerization" to Fusion Summon monsters.

Once an opportunity presents itself, Touma will push for offensive initiative. His ace card, "Helios Fantastikos - Imagine Breaker", wipes the entire field clean of Special Summoned monsters, punishing opponents who overextend without dedicating themselves to a boss monster and paving way for a final finishing blow. Cards such as "" and "" that follow can swing for massive amounts of damage on emptied boards, and are often how he finishes games, if "Imagine Breaker" doesn't just win the Duel on the spot. These traits, combined with his unique ability that makes him completely immune to other Esper abilities and Magician's Spells that would affect him or his cards, makes him a very challenging opponent despite not having any "true" innate powers. His opponents essentially have to fight on his terms- and if they aren't an expert at the base game of Duel Monsters, or have Decks that rely entirely on their powers, they will quickly lose to him.

Explanation: The entire Deck's premise is a reference to Touma's Imagine Breaker ability in the source material, where his right hand negates any sort of supernatural attack. Instead of winning fights by having superior supernatural powers, Touma undermines the opponent by negating many of the setups that others struggle with, and using his street fighting skills to snatch the win. Here, Touma has several cards that rely on the Banished Zone and which banish his opponent's cards, disrupting their usual plays. As many of the other characters' adapted Decks are Graveyard-reliant, Touma can win against them by virtue of disruption alone, just like in Index.
