Notes & Combos

A similar list to my Master V list posted here earlier, but with some noteworthy changes.

First, after losing to a Mikanko player that just put Hu-li equipped with Arabesque in Defense Position, I realized I needed some non-targeting, non-destruction removal. Primathmech Laplacian seemed like a good fit, especially since it also covers this list's incapability to deal with set backrow without the opponent activating something.

Second, I feel that Maliss is still the strongest deck in the format, especially without Eclipse Twins to make Plasma Hole over Plugin more viable. As such, I put in Lancea to combat it. The non-engine ratios ended up really messy, so there's only 2 at the moment with the premise of drawing them off of Maxx C, Fuwalos, or Purulia.

Lastly, I was hesitant to use Pot of Desires before due to a fear of banishing Cross or Node, but it's been 100% worthwhile even when it does banish an engine 1-of. I trimmed Talents down to 2 for that.

The main gimmick of this list is still Thrust for Feather Storm, which IIRC gifted me the win whenever it resolved (just be careful about not letting Maliss make Linguriboh before you activate it). It also lessens the need for Crossout, since Crossout sucks to draw going second and Thrust is great both going first and second, so long as you can get to a Rank 4. I even considered cutting Called By for some time, but I like having 8 outs to Maxx C instead of only 6.
