Notes & Combos

Why does Runick even exist...I hope a follow-up banlist comes quickly.

FYI, I revamped my deck after watching this excellent video from Pak (featuring Jesse Kotton's tips on deckbuilding/ratios): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VM2qUE9pro

The main difference is that I now use Crusadias predominantly for the normal summon (and access to Magius) and prefer not to open a second Crusadia because they are worse extenders than Mekks. Magius searches for the second Crusadia with the best utility given the gamestate, anyway. Usually Draco, but can also be Arboria for the Synchro, Maximus for the OTK, etc. 1 of each Crusadia for a total of 5 provides a 57% chance of opening at least 1 "Crusadia starter"; my alternative starters are then Girsu, Blue Sky, and Purple Nightfall. 12 (2-card) starters total.

As you can probably tell, I'm focusing less on OTK-ing; main objective is to dismantle the board and set up WL Secret to prevent the follow-up. I did try 3 CCs for a bit, but decided to drop 1 for DRNM as it's pretty much the only out to 20-min combo decks. I really wanted to stick to everything at 3 or 1 per Jesse Kotton, but in a BO1 format it may be reasonable to vary the ratios to play the percentages given the matchups in your rank (e.g., if facing 2 Runicks for every 1 unfair combo.dek).

Btw: I love the color spread of the monster lineup with Red Moon+Yellow Star back in my deck!
