Notes & Combos

Firstly, the extra deck is from when I had Dogmatika Punishment, but i took it out and never changed it. You dont need the UR but dingirsu is good to out avramax and the other toolbox cards can come up as well.

We coasted to m3 with something stupid like 80% win rate, and then it happened... Konami said fxck you. Coin toss win rate stayed at 30% or lower for about 2 days. The deck isnt even bad going second...but lose basically every coin toss with any deck and see how it goes. Dark times. We rank up and down between m3-m4 with 55% match win rate. Shout out to #labrynth in the discord for the moral support. I also made some crucial misplays here and there that contributed to the feels badness, but we move on.

End of the weekend we start seeing the gold side of the coin. 3 in a row. We rank up. We rank up again. M2. We rest.

Monday morn we wake up like "fxck it lets do it." Konami removes me from the blacklist and we win 80% of the coin. 5 win streak into m1. 70% win rate over last 20 games. We did it again :).

Soul Drain. Absolutely busted. Solo's tear and floo, and helps vs furniture builds.

D shifter. Solos vs tear going first or second. Just manage your resources; if you can afford to wait so that a key trap hits gy, then wait. could replace for pot bystial another compulsory etc., if you cant afford the UR.

Bystials. Added during the Dark Times. Key for going second vs tear. Actually helpful vs floo for beaters and the odd play around Stri. Help play around TCBOO. Loopable with big welcome and compulse for crazy utility.

Torrential Tribute. Wanted a way to clear fields. With the gy hate and D barrier its not ineffective vs tear. if i had to replace it, maybe another compulsory, pot or bystial.

D Fissure. Faster than soul drain. Solos tear. Its nice to have it and soul drain up in case they heartbeat. Soul drain hits thunder dragons and floo tho so they have slightly different coverage.

Ra Sphere Mode. Not bad usually but super dead a lot of the time. It wasnt bad when it was mostly spright and tear only but spright isnt as common—and we were beating them without it a lot of the time—and tear, if left uninterrupted is putting up too many meaningful interruptions to clear with just a ra ball consistently. Bystials were better and more versatile.

Closing remarks: Watch out for super poly. Be patient but never too patient. fxck Exosisters—worst match up going second by far. And finally, have fun!
