Notes & Combos
This season has been a real grind. The new Vanquish Soul and K9 matchups have been particularly tough.
I started the season playing pure Dragon Tail, but after a string of frustrating losses and seeing a lot of players finding success with a Branded engine, I decided to pivot and give it a shot.
It took some adjustment. I had a few bricky hands going first, but after some fine-tuning, I landed on a list that feels the most balanced. For example, I'm running 2 Rahu. Drawing into more than one, or having it as your only starter, just didn't feel great. I also ended up cutting Effect Veiler. While the idea of drawing it off Altharion's effect was fun, running 2 copies going first often felt like a dead draw. I experimented with Ghost Mourner, but it wasn't doing enough against Vanquish Soul specifically. It's solid against Izuna, sure, but for the rest of the meta, it just wasn't pulling its weight.
Despite the challenges, it's been a blast to play. It feels good to finally come back to Branded Dragon Tail. After all, dragons are cool.
