Notes & Combos

🎉4 YEARS OF MAX RANKING WITH MAYAKASHI ELDLICH NON STOP!!!🎉

... and here is where I lay down my cards.

---

Got to Master 1 on December 25th. As always, the end of the years are the busiest times for me... even was too busy to write this up and post it here.

Years ago, I have said the day this "Master 1 maniac run" ends is when I finally can't make it through with my beloved Mayakashi Eldlich and that would be the end of it... that just seems like it will never happen, so I made myself another "last day" when the new Eldlich cards were revealed... didn't know it would have taken this long to come.

Made it that way to show you all one last cooking with the new cards, which sadly, they are mid average at best for today's cards standard.

New cards came for this Season and one of them is making the C look more overpower than it has ever been, and of course it has to be the current best.

Had a very bad time when this new Meta came up included with limited time to advance throught the ranks 😞

Got like 7 demotes this Season. Got very unlucky games and I really had to figure out the hard way what all these new stuff does... they all feel so custom made 😞

• About my Deck:

From the last Season's post, despite hyping up Nibiru so much, it has almost no use right now as the new toys have mostly set cards playstyle and none of them summon more than 4 times.

I made a lot of changing throught out the climb, but reached M1 with what you are seeing.

-3 Nibiru and -1 Typhoon for +1 Glorious, +1 Fallen Angel, and +2 Fuwa.

And... -1 Goddess for +1 S:P (this is the first time I take out Goddess 🥺)

Mostly staple changes as always. The only real game changer there is Fallen Angel. The rest could be anything you would like or depending on the situations.

You can even add Mad Lord!! But that is deemed as a win more card in most scenarios as it is very easy removeable by almost any Meta Deck... and once it is gone it is gone when summoned with the most convenient way (Fallen Angel's effect is an improper summon for Mad Lord).

Despite that, I included him for some ranks just to showcase it for you!

S:P will be your best companion with Fallen Angel. Being an ED card will allow S:P's ON SUMMON effect... AND (very important) CHAIN LINK BLOCK EITHER OF THEM. You can choose the order of the chain to resolve depending on the situations!

Glorious is really a bit of an optional card. It does feel like a brick or an unwanted mill/fodder as it doesn't have effect in GY unlike the rest of the Eldlich S/T (not counting Golden Land Forever, which is also an optional).

BETTER SEE IT IN ACTION THAN READING! Fallen Angel will come up a lot, and you will see what I am cooking with him!! ... whenever I post up the Season's climb on YouTube 🫠

• About this Season's Meta:

Same as before but now with a lot more headache around... Odion, DTail, White Forest daddy Konami super fed up (yes, a lot of custom cards... it's disgusting), and Art Mage... and more Lab has been showing up because of some new traps and cosmetics 😪

I really want to go unhinged on rage typing, but let's not do that for my last post 😇🥺

--

Odion:

Eldlich in hand can make a really big difference on how the game will go. Usually send their "unknown" cards to GY then bait out the rest.

A big reminder is that Apophis Trap Monsters are MAIN PHASE ONLY, and likely your opponent will forget that so you can threaten Lethal by going Battle Phase and see if they wanna use them.

They mostly die due to their MAN making their kind indestructible by battle. Either get enough to punch through him multiple times, or if they have another monster the MAN is "protecting" and is in ATK position... make Yuki Absolute and make that Monster 0 ATK and punch it hard multiple times.

S:P helps a lot dodging their Apophis forcing them to activate another if they really want to negate.

--

DTail:

Words can't describe how much I hate Branded and their infitine glazing and daddy Konami giving them everything for it to be glazed... yes, DTail are not them, but they are similar.

Essentially 1 card do it all.

They just made it so you can't really have a turn 1 when they use the C. They are all Handtraps and they will be recovering them just because they can... whoever you see they say tHiS iS tHe MoSt FaIr DeCk is clearly someone who is playing the same Deck. These kind of people have no idea what is it to play against that custom money printer feels like.

Most of the time you will know what they set. If you have a very strong Spell you want to resolve like Grass and you have something to prevent DTail Flame from negating it (like Ash or even Conquistador to destroy they card they targetting) just save it for that.

Another Ash moment is on their Rahu when you notice them going for a GREEDY play. This is when they perform their first fusion without Rahu and you catch them setting it... that is the Rahu you should Ash. It will possibly cut down a lot of their set cards AND you are left with the few cards they have in have + what you know about their hand.

They show up their hand frequently. Always keep them in track and plan accordly.

Reminder you can flip up Glorious without using any of it's effect, then using it's effect after. This provides an extra chain block for thier Gulamel.

If you have Yuki Absolute on opponent's turn, you can chain a Monster effect in GY or revive a Monster in GY in response to their attempt to Fusion. When their Monster Summons, on their turn, they will have the priority to activate their trigger effect first then Yuki Absolute can follow it negating whatever the summoned.

White Forest daddy Konami mega boosted slop 🤢🤮:

Just Droll them. On a full field of yours, try to prevent their plays... they are just sooooo fed up that they can get away most of the time 😪not your fault if you lose to this... blame Konami pouring everything for money.

--

Artmage:

They add a lot... Droll!

Zombie World do harm them a lot, but they have ways to get rid of it... if you manage to protect ZW, you will have a lead.

I didn't really face them much unlike the others honestly, just beware Patron locks Fusion only... do not steal that.

--

The rest of the Meta is almost unchanged.

Just watch the Video of this Season's climb to know more about it. I will write stuff on it again and hopefully it helps you whether your play this or other Decks.

Might take a bit long for me to upload them by when this is posted, because busy 🫠

This is it... I have completed the game!!!

Thank you all for giving attention to Mayakashi. My whole reason to climb was to give them a name and for everyone to look how a joke Archetype can be played even by it's own gimmick (not splashing the nonsensical slop like Fiendsmith). Do they have a name or recognition yet? I don't know but I have seen more than hundreads interested about it, and that is great enough.

I will not play the game anymore, but feel free to talk about it with me in this website's Discord Server.

And please do not build this Deck, thank you (it is very hard and almost no foreseeable support on the line)😊

🎉I, ZANTOS, AM THE STRONGEST MAYAKASHI ELDLICH ENJOYER🎉
