This is officially my favorite deck in the whole game. Now you may be thinking, "WTF is this nonsense? No hand traps? No Adventure engine? 3 Mercourier?"

Yes.

And it's based as hell.

This deck is heavily inspired by PAK's 1st place YCS Hartford VIP qualifier deck list. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJXZrAZZ6IE.

Now I'm gonna explain the deck building choices.

No Adventure b/c normal summons are really important. Personally, having a chance at Gryphon + Mirrorjade is not worth hands where you open only Aluber and Rite/Enchantress. Some may disagree, but I really don't like Adventure in this deck.

No hand traps b/c they're not necessary imo. Deck doesn't care vs Maxx C, and there are many ways to either bait out negates or break boards on turn 2 including Ecclesia, Albaz, Super Poly, Branded Lost, Quaeritis, and Chimera. Also hand traps can be bricks in this deck.

No Foolish or Gold Sarc b/c Allure will usually give the same results while also letting you plus.

Some other thoughts I have:

Allure + Merc is broken lol. A straight +2 via Albion or double Masquerade boards via Kitt.

Proskenion is ridiculous. Can single-handedly win duels.

Titaniklad can beat over Towers monsters 4k atk and below. He can also out Zeus in simplified game states.

Brigrand can let you SS Albaz from deck in EP which can be super clutch.

Snow is banworthy lol.
