Notes & Combos
I was on Gameciel and Heartbeat over 3rd Reino and Scream for a until around D4 or so. The third copy of each makese a difference.
I missed Bagooska exactly one time but Drident was enough. I rarely made Redoer, Gigantic or Dharc. I wouldn't dream of cutting any of the other cards. Gigantic into Zeus did come up. Phoenix could be Tornado Dragon but I like that if you steal something with TTT or Dharc, or use Elf, you can make Phoenix. Phoenix is also a 2 to go into Gigantic to Zeus afterwards.
Exactly 30 of my 60 Diamond games were vs Tear (or variants). I won 18 of them. Five of them were on the draw. 7 of the 12 losses I was on the play, and more earlier in my climb showing my skill (or luck) increasing as I climbed.
R.I.P. Instant Fusion. Zero games lost where I opened with it.
Replays
Record of my diamond games, coin flips and opening hands. Very minimal notes about the actual games. The disruption column is what disruption my opponents had. If it's blank, it was either nothing or not noteworthy.
