Notes & Combos
Not having Girsu and World Legacy World Armor/Chalice sucks but the deck is still reasonably powerful and can still go blind second just fine. I went with Veiler on the off chance that I was made to go first and needed a normal summon to make Morningstar or something but that never came up. Veiler still worked just fine since I only ever saw it get negated by CBTG just once during the grind.
The Crusadia stuff is gutted to just Maximus as the only main decker of the group so it's mainly there to get Link Materials and bait interactions from players that don't know any better. Maximus and Magius alone get you to a link 2 so the engine is more than worth it. Occassionally I did need to Climb into Equimax but that only came up twice (and only once did I OTK a Dark World player with him).
The regular game plan is still intact. If you can't completely destroy the opponent then you just take out their biggest threats and set up the collumn negates that they'll haplessly fall into.
