Notes & Combos

If you want more detail regarding how Labrynth plays in general, I'd recommend reading the guide Paul and I wrote which is pinned in #labrynth in the Master Duel Meta Discord. You can also ask helpers like me for help there.

I decided to try out Nadir Servant for this run since I was tilting a bit after 2 demotions. Unfortunately, this season's climb wasn't as smooth as some of the others. Nadir seemed pretty fine but I'm doubting putting Gamma in since there's some anti-synergy but Nadir baits Ash like nothing else which makes you be able to bait Ash hard for a lot of matchups which makes your Lab plays ideally better.

For non-engine choices, I chose this line-up as in the final few games, GY hate seemed to be less effective given the recent success of Vanquish Soul in the DC boosting its popularity a ton. This means the meta is a bit more diverse than I anticipated which is why I went back to more generic handtraps than earlier in the season where I had 3 Crow 3 Bystial.

For the matchups, the usual suspects from last season are here, but Mathmech has sort of fallen out of favor in comparison to Dragon Link and Kashtira. The new contender this season was Branded Despia which was very popular early on, where I had a ton of GY hate. I realized later on that the meta may be a bit too diverse to go all in on GY hate, so I switched to this line up. Another notable matchup is of course, Vanquish Soul, where the matchup can be pretty tough if you have no idea what you're doing. Playing in Draw Phase/Standby Phase really helps.

Lastly, the Extra Deck is pretty standard for Lab running Punishment and running Gamma. I may consider running this again next season but cutting some of these ED Synchros for Gamma as Nadir and Gamma have a bit of anti-synergy there.

Again, if you want help or more details, ask in the Labrynth channel on Discord!

Hope you enjoy the stats. Climb was pretty hard this time on account of me tilting, sorry.
