Notes & Combos
The new dark magician support is so ridiculous that if you open diabellstar + any mitsugrugi engine you basically auto win.
The reason we play this with Mitsurugi is because deception tributes for cost. This means that if you open any diabell card + any ritual monster/aramasa you get full mitsurugi combo + dragoon + azamina silvera which ends up being 7-8 interruptions + followup.
Sample combo: Diabell + Any ritual monster:
Summon Diabell -> Set Deception -> Activate Deception
Summon DMoD -> Search Gaze -> Activate Gaze -> Summon Dragoon. You now have an omni to protect combo.
If monster is habakiri: Haba eff -> Saji -> add Mitsu ritual -> use Deception tributing Haba -> add Hallowed -> Activate Haba in the GY -> add Murakumo
If monster isn't habakiri: Use Deception to tribute your ritual monster -> add Hallowed -> Activate ritual monster in grave to add Haba -> Haba effect -> Saji -> add Mitsu ritual
Either way, you now have 1 ritual in GY, 1 in hand, mitsu ritual, and hallowed.
Activate Mitsu Ritual (Hand) -> Send Kusanagi + Aramasa -> CL1 Kusanagi targetting mitsu ritual (to play around ghost belle), CL2 aramasa adding any monster -> Activate Mitsu Ritual (Deck) (Note: Do not summon monster you have already tributed for the cost of deception) -> Send ritual monster on field -> Activate effect in GY to add Mitsu mirror and resummon
Activate Mitsu Mirror, either summoning the monster you originally tributed in GY or the one you added to hand with Aramasa -> Send ritual you haven't tributed yet -> Activate ritual monster eff in GY to add prayers to hand.
You should now have all 3 ritual monsters + dragoon on field and prayers + hallowed azamina + another ritual monster in hand.
Activate Hallowed Azamina -> Summon Mu -> Search Wanted -> Link off Mu + Mitama into i:p -> Hallowed in GY to return to hand -> CL1 Hallowed, CL2 Wanted -> Add Diabell -> Summon Silvera -> Banish Wanted in GY to draw 1 -> xyz Murakumo + Habakiri for Photon Lord -> Set Prayers
End Board: Dragoon omni, Silvera omni, Photon monster neg (detatch Murakumo), ip + photon for sp 2 banishes or dyna, prayers summon murakumo raigeki + hand rip/negate + 7 cards in hand.
This combo does not need your normal summon, and does not activate prayers, so depending on your whole hand you can often do even more than this. Lines where you start with habakiri can also end with purification.
You could add two more deception if you want. In K9 format I wouldn't run any other non engine cards.
