My initial test run of using the newly released Horus archetype and staple tech card S:P Little Knight. The arrival of these cards help add more versatility to the Darklord Despia variants by creating more options and alternative ways to do combo lines. S:P Little Knight is just a great all-around Link addition for setting up disruption along with I:P Masquerena which make opponents have to feel the need to deal with them first. Although, the main focus of this deck is the Level 8 synergy between the Horus engine and most of the Darklord and Despia monsters for easily making Rank 8 XYZ monsters, as well as, helping mill and discard cards to the graveyard. While the Horus engine does lower consistency of starting with Dark Fairy monsters for our First Darklord set-up and plays; it does make up for it through the combo line of making Zombie Vampire with them to mill cards to the graveyard which could potentially generating advantage and special summon a milled Darklord monster to extend plays. If all else fails, the Horus cards alone can handle their own as they have powerful effects that can potentially produce card and resource advantage to keep you in the duel for another turn. There are downsides to this of course with what I feel it being more of high risk but high reward deck as there are higher chances for it to potentially brick and since the Horus engine revolves around Kings Sarcophagus, it can be very fragile to disruption if they get rid of it.
Replays are not all necessarily top tier highlights but just my own showcase and experience of wins using this decklist and what decks I've encountered/faced-off against during the current meta season in ranked ladder duels and events
