I DID IT. LAST DAY POSSIBLE

Krawler Soma is HERE and GAMING!!! Krawler Spright is a sick deck, but with Soma out there's still some value to Krawler as a control strategy that out-values opponents with flip effects and stuns them with Deus X-Krawler!

This'll be a short explanation: For staples, Ash Imperm and Maxx are crazy good - we can also search Maxx "C" through Picofalena! Ghost Ogre rocks this format, and Nibiru was the last card I added. Did you know Nibiru doesn't tribute our face-down Krawlers?

Strike is the highest-impact trap staple I could think of and hits HARD when it resolves, even going 2nd into established boards. Anti-spell both insulates your backrow and REALLY hurts Runick, Branded, and even Grass piles.

In-engine: Glial is fantastic for the grind game or as a late draw, but opening with it is subpar so we're on 2 for repeatability. Same goes for Spine! Receptor is nice to draw early on so you can search Soma, but we want a nice mix of Krawlers to guarantee the floats are live and to maintain a nice toolbox. Axon is good to have 1-of for trap decks or utility. Deus X is crazy, but you only need the one.

We aren't running the field spell bc it's not high-impact enough. Our other cards -- Survivor, Mind Meld, and Pawns -- are all at 3 for this deck. You want to see them as often as possible. Even Mind Meld is nice to draw.

The ED is toolboxy, but your most important cards are Elf and Lib. Lib's removal effect paired with setting Pawns or Meld is crazy! Secure Gardna is there to turn Lib into removal in weird gamestates, and Almiraj can turn a normal summoned Krawler or handtrap into a link arrow for Mind Meld's GY effect. Qualiark actually comes up for OTK lines, especially as Nib insurance, and Picofalena lets you discard Mind Meld to search Maxx "C" by equipping Retaliating "C". Crazy!

Everything else is pretty standard -- I'm not on Sky Cavalry Centaurea just bc I don't own it, but I'd recommend it lol.
