Notes & Combos
So far, this season has been the worst one in a while for myself. Within the first week, after 40~ games, I was still stuck in Plat 5/4. I did try out an entirely new deck for 4-5 games, but besides that, things such as Floo/Branded kept just getting everything they needed, even when I might have had a chance to do something since I opened Imperm/Ash. Alongside that, due to some irl stuff, while I was keeping a record list again, to even think about trying to hit max rank, I've dropped doing so this season.
I think it took me at least 100 games to get to Diamond 5 this season.. Things such as Pend/Branded going first just hurt too much imo and with how this deck is, it's hard to make it past the next turn with what they put up. Never mind dealing with normal Floo stuff.
Originally, I had IDP in the deck instead of 2 Dimensional Barrier, however, after getting frustrated with Branded seemingly always opening Branded Opening/Branded Fusion/Aluber while I wasn't opening Ash/Imperm to stop it, I added those in. Even on the chances I used Fleur to negate Aluber.. my opponent just so happened to open Super Poly lol
Given the issues I ran into while in Plat, I'm not sure if I'll make Diamond 1 this season, however, since we had someone else on the site make it this time, I'll at least keep it in mind as something to go for.
