Notes & Combos

I based my deck on the one by the YouTuber g07h4xf00. He recommended using evenly matched by I swapped that out for terrors of the overroot, I just felt that I needed more options for spot removal.

Lord can search any of the viruses you need. In general I felt lord was sufficient backrow protection, but if you think you are getting hit too often you can swap out the draco aura for solemn judgement. The extra deck really is just dogmatica punishment targets, I literally never used any of the other cards. I like some of the one of cards like dharc and bagooska over packages like the DDD package or the numeron dragon package, because they're less likely to get one or two of the pieces ripped out by one of your pots. That's why I run those as multiples.

The name of the game is card advantage. The viruses, torrential, and lovely paired with any of the removal traps (overroot, punishment, evacuation) all trade 1 for 2, 3, 4+. I would consider adding needle ceiling as well, sprite and most other boards I face end up getting 4 bodies on the field. In general going 2 vs sprite they only puts up 1 spell negate, so if you force/bait that negate with one of the removal cards, you can follow up with solemn strike, aura, skill drain, or one of the floodgates to lock them down. After that use Lovely or Lord to beat them into submission.

Also the viruses are awesome, would even consider putting in a 2nd of the deck devastation viruses so you can search with trap trick, but it wasn't necessary for me. It is to sprite what eradicator was to runick. Being able search them on the end phase with lord, and then using them on the next draw phase with priority was enough for me. There are also 4 pot cards that make the deck way more consistent, and by running both at 2 the odds of you EVER having both copies of the same pot in hand are ridiculously low.

I had an 8 game win streak from Plat II into Diamond, feels like a strong deck if you can be patient and use the traps at the right time.
