Notes & Combos

No changes since the M5 post.

-RetC is non-eng tht can work as a ns in your line if you need and searches Maxx C

-Shifter is broken esp going first

-7th Tach shuffling back Mirror to make a pre-prep online feels awesome but its lowk cuttable

-Wousu is a saving grace against so many decks but it helps to be on a good amnt of mitsu names to make it live (2x Ara 2x Kumo)

-Exciton is cuttable but is SAVES games

-I see lists cuttin Igniter but especially in the push to M1 it saved me a LOT of games (check replays)

-Light Drag was my least made ED card

- Magatama

Magatama was a card I was pretty mixed on bc many lists proir to the Prayers hit cut it. Since you do need just an amount of spells in deck to keep your tribute effs alive, you have to make up those spell names somehwere.

Magatama is potential endboard strength by being able to set 2+the ability to dance around spot interaction/some potential play going 2nd.

While the card has merit, I just opted to go for a third copy of ritual spell instead because I just wanted better hands. My main issue with the deck was constant grips that weren't letting me play. Opening Ritual Spell along with a starter, a ritual monster, or just multiple mitsu names allowed for either a much scarier endboard* or, more importantly, a stronger ability to play through your opponents non-eng.

I opted for 3x Ritual spell over 2x Ritual Spell 1x Magatama but I can understand why anyone would pref the latter.

*Open Rit+Starter lets u Kusa>add back prayers for endboard

- Dragluxion vs 2x Aramasa

This one was a MUCH harder choice for me.

Imo, the biggest benefit to Dragluxion is it's ability to let you a run a min-mitsu engine; without Dragluxion you need 4 lvl 4 reptiles in your list for your Pre-Prep/Haba lines. You need a Level 4 to search off Prayers for NS and Haba eff sends 1, Rit send 2, and without a 4th you can't search a 4 off Prayers.

YGO is a game where non-engine is king so giving an ED slot to Dragluxion allows you to take 1 less mitsu name. Instead of making I:P/Mondo/Photon Lord you make Dragluxion>Seventh Tachyon>Ice Ryzeal; now you have yours NS. Before Ryzeal lock you can just link off Dragluxion with your Prayers reborn for I:P. Then just NS Ice and you can pretty easily go Duo>Dugares>Detonator.

My list boils down to "I just want more playable hands" and seeing Mitsu engine+Mitsu names for trib fodder (Wousu was my MVP lowk) mattered more to me than the second copy of Droll I was running
