Notes & Combos
This was a fine climb. Didn't feel like my build was as crushing vs the meta as the season 12 one where I stomped my way to d1 with hardly a loss to my name, but this was a pretty smooth experience with a good win rate. I did 1 rank up a day since I didn't feel like doing big play sessions this season and I never had any issues getting each rank up in a timely manner. Did a lot of deck editing throughout the climb so used a bunch of pretty different approaches. This is what I ended up on. I decided to go back to shifter since it hurts runick, I still favored evenly since its spell/trap removal that isn't a brick vs monster decks. Decided to play ash as well since it hurts branded and can be good vs runick and adamancipator as well. Was on dark ruler no more for most of the climb, but decided to cut it since I was seeing less big combo decks.
My most common matchups throughout the climb were
- branded despia
- adamancipator
- swordsoul tenyi
- runick stun
- floo mirror
