Notes & Combos

Support dropped super late but nonetheless I had to give my favorite deck at least one last run!

Deal makes it so that Ki-sikil is easily your best starter, so we max those out. I like 2 Lil-la, I found 1 to be inconsistent. 1 Sweet is more than enough, it doesn't actually do anything on its own.

3 tract is insane as this deck is incredibly weak to removal/interaction on the normal summon (Hollie Sue, Izuna to make the rank 5 to flip, etc). Helps you go first and 2nd as well. The fiendsmith cards are honestly the better half of the deck and make your grind game insane. Twin + tract means your standard endboard of Caesar + Sunny + A Bao gets further strengthened by a Rextremende with both Paradise effects live on top of it all. It's great for backrow decks, plays around breakers, and is effectively infinite grind if the game makes it to turn 3.

Non-engine can be changed, however Droplet, Fuwalos, Droll, and Ash are basically required in my opinion. You cannot play under Fuwalos/Maxx C so you need the 7 counters you can play. You also cannot push reliably into boards, and the interaction with normal twin + chain droplet is still very good.

Talents feels like it's most effective Turn 1 to hand rip, but we don't struggle Turn 1 with a starter and Maxx C out. We don't get value from Draw 2 as we only have 2 realistic pushes and we also don't further our plays very much by stealing a body.

Belle and Mourner were tech choices based on K9, Dtail, Yummy in totality. You basically need ways to stop Izuna (Belle, droplet) and Hollie Sue (Droplet, Mourner) on your own turn. Ghost Ogre might be an honorable mention, as it's surprisingly good. Belle and Mourner also hit Mitsu, Dtail, and Yummy decently enough that I felt comfortable with them over something like Purulia.

Important note: be careful of the droll/frost interaction, you cannot order your chain links such that you resolve droll after frost, you either pick droll or you draw from frost for that specific card add.

Don't get greedy, a lot of times you need droll to go off that first search, letting them search twice just to resolve frost isn't advisable in most matchups unless you have no interruption or desperately need something matchup specific.
