I did some experimenting with Rotary for additional value off Wicckid. If you can resolve Wicckid search and A.I. Connect search for either Rotary/Diameter, then you gain a lot of bodies using Rotary reveal to NS Diameter. I generally don't like playing cards that don't do enough on their own or act as combo pieces during a resolved combo (see Multi, Micro Coder, Equation). You have Ash, Belle, Backup as reveals, so it could act as a cyberse extender. The future may see Rotary getting cut, but it's not as bad to draw as Micro Coder when playing through interaction.

Cynet Mining is to get value off Micro Coder, but this comes up rarely. I think the card is pretty low in quality due to the discard, so I'd prefer to play Small World.

Kewl Tune was the clear deck to beat and the matchup is unfavorable due to them tripling down on removal between Mix, Track Maker, and Loudness War copy. RS defines some games due to level manip, but it's not as present as losing due to removal on a normal summon reliant hand.

To deal with KT, I played Retaliating "C" but the card was cut for a few reasons:

1. The opponent must play into the card incorrectly. If they know to make B2B, they recover their resources. I believe on some level there are enough KT players without sufficient knowledge, but you also have the next reason holding you back.
2. It's inconvenient to remove after resolving. You cannot Circular, often times you need to commit a normal summon. You have to play Code Talker or I:P to get rid of it and then your opponent can play with their now online Killer Tune Synchro. More often I have to spend my BP crashing Retaliating to even play which defeats the purpose.

Rosewhip makes the KT matchup a lot easier. Similar to the Odion matchup, your best bet going 2nd is to play a wide board and tank removals. Rosewhip does nothing to this strategy and they give up an interaction to establish it.

Matchup Breakdown in Total (159 Duels; 81 Heads, 78 Tails)
