Notes & Combos

Haven't done a climb on blind second before and I felt like this was a good meta for it. It's EXTREMELY hard to tech hand traps for both Ryzeal and Maliss and they are just so much better than other decks atm, playing a normal deck feels rough.

Striker Tenpai does well against both with breakers though so I feel like it's a great meta call right now. Ultimate Slayer pretty much 1 hit KO's Ryzeal end boards unless they make photon dragon xyz with 2 mats on duo drive to get it over 2k attack.

Piloting this at first was pretty hard but once you get in the groove of picking boards apart and what cards to call with Sales Ban, it gets easier. Gotta be careful of Ryzeal sitting on Plasma hole to make Zeus in BP after you attack an XYZ, and also droll FTKs a lot of hands so sometimes if you have all search effects, you just gotta blow it on droll at the start, but it's worth it even if they don't have it. Other good calls are impulse if you have called by for ash, or detonator if you don't have any removal for it since it means he can't do any pops for the rest of the turn.

Lastly, make sure to leave a guy on board to ram Hiita into if you can't find any Tenpai cards. Sometimes you just have to make her with sky striker tokens and go for it but it's reliable if you've cleared out all their options.

Deck was a lot of fun though, I felt like I got much better at going second over the course of this run. If you do learn this, don't get discouraged at first, you gotta take your licks at first learning the ins and outs.... often the game is decided on one small interaction, especially on a tenpai card since there are so few of them.
