The typical means of a Royal Citadel OTK is somewhat known by now; Royal Magical Library turns a crapload of spells into a draw engine, either to go into Exodia or to generate enough Spell Counters for Tempest Magician to deal 8000+ damage in one shot.
This variant utilizes an upcoming archetype, the Igknights, to add a new dimension to the draw engine via the Pendulum Zones.
As Pendulum Monsters, placing them in the Pendulum Zone counts as activating a Spell, thus fueling RML's draw engine. In addition, they have the ability to search more of themselves out by popping 2 that are in the Pendulum Zones, keeping those spots clear for more activations. A lone copy of their Field Spell, Ignition Phoenix, helps this along as well in a 1-for-1 trade, while providing additional Spell Counters and Terraforming targets. Additionally, should 2 Igknights be in the Pendulum Zones when additional copies of RML or Plaguespreader are drawn, those can be Pendulum Summoned to further things along.
Another much-needed aspect of this is that, as Monsters, they can provide needed protection in the event the engine stalls out, buying time to get it going again, while also potentially dishing out some battle damage to reduce the amount of burn needed.
As usual, Magical Explosion provides the backup kill.
