The Clownblade Deck is based around recurring Rank 4 Xyz Summons. Its main monsters are "Performage Trick Clown" and "Heroic Challenger - Thousand Blades", whose synergy allows the player to Xyz Summon every turn by Special Summoning themselves from the Graveyard. Backed up by numerous other Level 4 monsters, they are a reactive Deck that relies on generic Rank 4 monsters to break the opponent's strategies, such as "Tellarknight Ptolemaeus" and "Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer".
