Notes & Combos

BEST PEND DECK IN A "TEAR ZERO" META!

List is the same as my D5 submission. Again, Endymion doesn't suffer like other decks that heavily rely on the GY. The Mighty Master himself will just laugh at their Abyss Dweller and Ishizu Shufflers.

Some notes:

• Going 2nd against Tears is a tough match up only if they get cracked mills (happens more often than not), they mill your important cards or starters, and/or they have too many backrows + Pelereino
• Do not activate any monster effects on your field when going 1st until you have at least one Jackal King on the field, save the negate for the miller or the fusion summon if Havnis mills an Ishizu or Tear card respectively.
• Reflection has been low key really helpful against Tears turn 2. They all wait to negate Servant with Rulkallos but if you try to resolve Reflection first, they'll either take the bait by negating it or it resolves and you special summon Reflection and Endymion himself to bounce Rulkallos. If they respond with Sulliek, have Endymion negate it (he can't be targeted either). Rulkallos is the bigger threat than them searching Havnis if you destroy Sulliek.
• Instant Contact x Brave Neos: Free Lv7 for Absolute or Diablosis. Replacement for Instant Fusion, goodbye Patissciel and Millenium Eyes :(
• Sloth will still remain in the deck as long as Maxx C is legal. I'm no longer afraid of Maxx C turn 1 thanks to it.
• Removed Called By because it's not really doing much and I'm prioritize engine cards.
• Two Necrovalley is because of Desires troll. A little overkill but one is actually enough. You can swap out the 2nd Necrovalley for Village.
• Diablosis: Exclusively for Kitkallos snipe. (Also good at sniping Zeus and Accesscode Talker too). Tears can't retrieve Kitkallos with Cryme since it's banished face down. I will remove Diablosis once Kit gets banned eventually.
• Ancient Fairy Dragon: Another method to search Necrovalley or Village. You need Chicken Game on the field to do the search. Dump Destrudo with Shrine or Foolish. It's also a Lv7. This engine is actually pretty decent.
• Psychic End Punisher: Mostly unaffected tower OTK enabler. Lv4 Destrudo (target Servant or Magister) + Lv7. We lose 3k LP from chicken game, 1k from Instant Contact, 1200 from BtP and 1/2 LP from Destrudo. It's not a bad option but I mainly run it for the memes. Plus Tears have zero outs to this except Goddess if they run it.
