Notes & Combos

Now with 100% more Small World! I tried picking up Spright but my eyes started glazing over and I ended up occasionally misplaying before I ever interacted with the opponent. I'll stick with going second decks for mindless climbing.

See my previous list from February for an explanation for why I'm happier at 41 cards than 40. The big change since then for me has been swapping 3x Planet Pathfinder for 3x Small World. This is chiefly because Spright makes Lava Golem a whole lot more appealing than Kaijus (tribute both a negate and Elf who could revive the negate), and Pathfinder isn't compatible with Lava Golem since they compete for the normal summon.

I have a Small World network graph of this deck at x-x-i-l [dot] github [dot] io/webhosting/numeron_smallworld/ (dots removed so the link doesn't get censored). It's inspired by Placeholder's graph from around a week ago; I find them a lot easier to intuit than staring at text lists generated by that one Small World app: any card 2 hops away is a valid bridge->destination.

Numeron Wall is thankfully and unsurprisingly a very centralized node accessible from any other monster with at least 2 copies of a bridge in-between in case one is drawn or milled. More interestingly, the graph also shows Archfiend Eccentrick's value: while she's alright spot removal (that might be competing for the normal summon), she's also a very solid bridge, more specifically in my case she lets me go from my 3-of staples in Ash/Lava Golem to Vic Viper for OTKing monster-less boards.

The graph also shows why I'm running a Gadarla instead of straight Gameciels: the cycle between the Kaijus and Lava Golem means I can trade either Kaiju up to Lava Golem if I already have access to Network (assuming Small World even resolves pre-Golem lol). With Eccentrick, Jizukiru is also an option that also has access to Vic Viper. I chose not to since the reality of the deck is sometimes you have to pass and hope you don't get OTKed. Jizukiru is a big lad to have to attack into if I do miraculously get a second chance on turn 4. I haven't had many low-LP close shaves lately so I might reconsider.

My single Triple Tactics used to be a second Red Reboot during my D3-D5 matches. I was running into enough Eldlich/Labrynth/floodgate.dek to make them worthwhile and even in D2 my single copy came up versus Exosister. Those 2 + Belle are the main slots I'd consider flexing. Probably for One for One in retrospect.
