Notes & Combos

Your strategy is either mill your opponent to death or Majesty's Fiend beatdown if you have all your floodgates. Against non-Runick opponents, don't worry about mill speed because with floodgates, you WILL deckout your opponent (so don't prioritize Droplet and Allure). In the mirror match, your floodgates are all useless (assuming Pure variant), so it's a race of who can mill each other first. This is why you run Allure because it suddenly becomes the best card in your deck.

Here's some tips:

  • Hugin's protection effect DOES WORK under Majesty's Fiend. This is because it is not an activated effect but a continuous effect.
  • Try not to overextend with your Fountain draws. If you have no Runick spells in hand when you try to draw and get Ash'd, you lose your follow-up.
  • Always try to enter Battle Phase. This means you get to eventually attack with Majesty's Fiend if you run out of Runick spells in hand.
  • Remember that you can't summon Majesty's Fiend on the same turn you summon Lava Golem.
  • When you're about to deck out your opponent, remember the number of banishes. You can't activate the spell if your banish count is more than your opponent's cards in deck.
  • Activate Dimensional Fissure before summoning your Runick monster. This baits out Maxx "C" so you can chain the summon.
  • You can chainblock Fountain's draw with your Runick monster trigger effects.

Aside from the Runick monsters, your extra deck doesn't matter too much.

Here's some more tips I couldn't fully fit in due to character limit:

  • Remember that if you have Rivalry up, you can have either a Runick monster or Majesty's Fiend but not both.
  • In the mirror match, if you know that your opponent's playing the pure variant, keep your floodgates in your hand. This is because your opponent can use Smiting Storm and mill you for more cards. If your opponent is playing another variant or uses Amano Iwato, you can put Rivalry on the field. Another reason you do this is to have a bigger hand if you get handlooped by Dispelling in the mirror.

Why I don't use stuff like the pots and Card of Demise:

  • Duality restricts your special summons. If you go 2nd and activate Duality, your opponent can pop your Fountain and you can't protect it. If you instead choose to summon, Duality turns into a brick for the turn.
  • Card of Demise has the same restriction and forces you to set all your cards. This makes you weak to Duster if you summoned Munin and Smiting Storm in the mirror match.
  • Activating Desires will basically lose you the mirror match.
  • Extravagance and Prosperity restrict your Fountain draw for the turn.

This deck has a lot of variants and builds so try to experiment.
