Notes & Combos

The most boring way to play Drytron after Herald - with the key difference that this deck should not be played.

Write your notes and "combos" here...

Combos? Lol.

Ruler? Pass.

Hotel? Trivago.

The twist here is that I am "abusing" a bug with Reasoning, because I felt like it. You should never be allowed to activate the card in this deck in the TCG/OCG. However, in this very deck, you can activate Reasoning in MD. What happens is that cards get milled until you hit Ruler, which then gets milled, too. I only need to not play any NS-able cards for Reasoning to be usable here. Bye Diviner and hello Grass copies no. 3-5.

Is this worth it? At best, maybe. Can you cope with Runick Drytron thanks to that? Sure.

My plan was:

  • try some novel cards out, because why not
  • summon Vanity's Ruler - usually accompanied by Herald of Mirage Lights (Alpha + Zeta gets you there with 2 Fairies in hand, you could run Lancea and let it be one of those two. Just loop Benten#s effect three times). In rarer cases, I could add I:P there as well. You do not need stronger boards in BO1 ladders.
  • Natasha with up to 3 banishes is fun. Fun is good. Go for fun. Steal the stuff they worked so hard for. You need to take any opportunity to have fun here, because this list makes you fall asleep.
  • If Natasha is Bonnie, Zeus is Clyde. Together they end up being shot to dea...I mean winning games going 2nd.
  • I wanted to try Izana out. I do not own Dakini, I am not going to craft that UR and I wanted that additional Cyber Angel - already tried a 2nd Idaten out (which is better ofc)
  • I tried Slacker Magician. It sucked.
  • It took me until my 2nd-to-last duel to notice that Eater of Millions cannot be used for an XYZ summon. It sucked way less than Slacker, regardless.

Replays

You do not want replays of this deck.

If you actually think you do:

imagine just summoning Ruler and Mirage every time going first and using Zeus/Natasha going 2nd - or getting rolled by all the cards you do not have the out for at that time: Braver Dragon, Macro Cosmos, Secret Village...the possibilities are endless.

I do post replays of me playing Drytron on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/@StriderYGO/videos

However, I will likely not post any replays of this particular deck.
