Notes & Combos

Same basics from previous lists.

The last 2 Banlist affected the deck a lot.

  • Wyverburster ban made so if you like to fill your deck with more engine, you lose the best valuable engine, while it makes hard to justify playing Chaos Space.
  • If you want more deck filling I suggest Diabellestar engine with 1-2 Witch, 3 Wanted and 1 Silvera. This gives value through multiple turns, Silvera can stop ways to out Colossus and they are likely to use hand traps on that engine, while it can help getting some cards in your GY.
  • I did try other fillings like Chaos Space, Creator and Allures, but those aren't very consistent and don't work well in a Droll meta.
  • Saronir limit means you either play ways to Lubellion or more Baldrakes, not opening Bystials felt very slow and means if your Lubellion gets Ash'd (which happens a lot) you can't get to a Bystial. So 3 Baldrake is the best solution by far.

Droll didn't felt great when the majority of opponents were Lab and Branded so I switched to D.D. Crow, which helped in the Lab match which was pretty bad while I wasn't on 3 Baldrake. Win rate vs Branded also was very good. Crow also had some descent impact on SHS and a few other rogue decks. Being a Dark also came-up.

This is the spreadsheet with the data from the climbing, docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dM0KLS529Flo5T3G6g4dlHTzEzlETgD66zCJ004SXpY/edit?usp=drivesdk

I think I wrote down when I changed my deck. The changes were

  • Crows > Droll
  • Baldrake > Space and Creator
  • Allure > Imperm
  • Imperm > Allure The deck had the lowest winrare with Allure followed by Space and Creator.

During Master Climb I added the Diabellstar engine, it was very good, it's a nice fill if you want to run more Engine (it's also the best fill, until we get Horus), the only downside is only drawing Silvera without the other pieces.

Master Climb wasn't that rough, I basically won every game I had engine and Diabell, and my losses were to better hands including a few bricks.

During the last few duels I took 1 Imperm out to bring down to 40c which doesn't make a huge difference but it makes everyone with ptsd happy.

I don't think Diabellstar Engine is mandatory or not but it's definitely good and prob the best option for now. If you don't want to play it check my M5 list.

Replays

I always share replays in MD, most of the duels are either wierd hands, trick situations or cool interactions. Check my profile (817-429-458) I always try to add new replays.
