Notes & Combos

This is an update to my previous decklist: https://www.masterduelmeta.com/top-decks/diamond-i/december-2022/sky-striker/valfire/0YwNZ

Gamma is my personal flavor on this deck. Go 2nd. Don't run Desires with this build. There's some anti-synergy between Gamma and Desires. Run Prosperity instead.

I believe Gamma is even better now with Linkage dropping. Linkage is basically another starter with additional utility to dodge effects, but it's also somewhat weak to Maxx "C". Gamma protects you from Maxx "C" (and Ash). Typically you'll want to use Gamma as soon as possible so you don't draw into your Driver brick later on, but on rare occasions you may want to hold on to it as fodder for Droplet. In some matchups, Gamma can also protect you from getting OTK'd. Last but not least, Gamma counters all monster hand traps and is one of the strongest going 2nd hand traps. You don't even need to make use of the materials. The only real downside is running the brick.

I decided to take out Phoenix and keep the 3rd Hayate because I find myself constantly tagging out into the ED with Linkage. It's important to have enough ED names.

FUN COMBO:

Engage + Linkage + Droplet: activate Engage -> activate Linkage -> activate Droplet, send Engage and Linkage to GY -> Linkage send Droplet to GY on resolution -> Engage 3+ spell in GY effect (works with other spells/traps as well, doesn't have to be Engage)
