Notes & Combos

Given the ease of climbing this time around, even when compared to how my Plat 5 - Diamond 5 climb went, I feel like I got pretty lucky. Although, not facing many Branded nor Runick decks certainly does help the ease, as besides Strikers and various other decks you might see 1 or 2 of them, those decks do cause issues for the deck. You just have to hope to draw things like Ash/Imperm and follow-up cards while they don't draw enough to keep doing things.

I only have 1 Maxx C, as I added a 3rd Prison, and figured I could keep it in to see how it goes. I didn't draw it all the time, but if nothing else, it either trades for a card, you draw a bit, or it just ends their turn. If you want, you could always cut it. I also cut Strike down to 2, as I wanted to lower the count from 43. It's still 42, but I have copium that with 42 you won't draw things like 3 Traptrix or multiple holes a ton.

I'd still love to use Called By, however, given that it's not a trap and doesn't offer any protection of a Sera and the like, I haven't been able to fit it in. It can definitely help with Raye issues [although, Linkage kind of gets around that now and you really need to keep them off Engage to have a chance], Superfactorial, Branded in Red, and whatnot, it still doesn't fit my want to usually have something that can protect Sera or at least proc to get things going a little.
