I dunno if "better" but I know its more fun for me because the 2 archetypes synergize REALLY well and unlike normal True Draco, you always draw into something at least, since now theres an entire additional archetype in your deck. The biggest downside is probably that it takes up such huge space, you dont have a lot for drawpower/floodgates/other generic stuff, which may or may not make the pure version better compared to this. Plus Demise and Duality hate Special Summons and Maxx C is legal so you need to think hard when to special summon your Eldliches and Golden Lands.
But in comparison the Eldlich side adds:
- Potential non-destruction removal via Eldlich's hand effect.
- A much faster way to destroy via Conquistador. (Using Apocalypse/Return effect to destroy/tribute one of your TD spells and then destroying an opponent's card, sometimes as Chain Link 1, is really slow and you can see it coming from a mile away.)
- A ton of gas, Eldlich cards love being in the grave even more than TD cards so just doing your basic Tribute Summon turn 1 can end up in a +1 in card advantage compared to pure TD.
- I've never seen a card that just reads "if your opponent has an Ash Blossom they'll waste it on this card every time" as much as Golden Eldland, that card just insulates every single draw spell you might have in hand while then still acting as tribute fodder afterwards.
I really do think at least giving this version a try is worth it, the only big things I'm unsure about are some ratios here and there and whether taking away the extra deck for Monarchs Erupt is worth it in this version, the deck definitely needs some more testing.
