Notes & Combos

Blind-Second Pure Zoodiac is still capable of climbing to DLv. Max but there are some hard match-up with this deck list.

The large amount of effect negation hand traps (Veiler, Imperm, and Mourner) is primarily for the Swordsoul and Branded matches. Against Branded, if they are ever able to summon Mirrorjade, then you have probably lost the game on the spot. My solution was to prevent Branded from ever summoning Mirrorjade in the first place by having a large quantity of hand traps that either negate a monster (generally Aluber or Lubellion) and three Ash Blossoms to stop Branded Fusion completely. Chalice or Droplet is necessary to have an out to Branded Expulsion giving you either Ido or Ra Disciple.

There are some potential changes you can make with this deck which I did consider while climbing.

-Replacing D.D Crow with Belle. I personally prefer Belle over D.D Crow thanks to its ability to negate CbtG, but I wanted to use Crow for the Duelist Cup.

-More Spell/Trap hate. With Runick and Labyrinth recently being added to Masterduel, there is a higher number of decks running spell/trap heavy strategies. It may be ideal to replace a card such as Mourner with Cosmic Cyclone to have a better chance against Runick and back-row decks. An interesting tech option is adding Zoodiac Bunnyblast for its ability to negate the activation of spell cards that target your Zoodiac XYZ. Bunny came quite handy against a few Runick games to protect your Zoodiac XYZ from Flashing Fire.
