Notes & Combos

I was going to put some oomph into my climb this season to get things done sooner than later.. however, I was stuck in a rut between M5 and M4. In 80~ games, I demoted from M4 without ever having gotten past M4 5 times, which killed my motivation to keep playing most days.

Only after adding in Ogre/TT/Iron Thunder and removing Nib/Belle/Strike did I start to gain traction. After making it to M4 in my last run, it only took 27~ games from the bottom of M4 to get to M1.. (I'm not sure if I was just luckier, if the changes made that big of a difference, or if it was due to being late in the season)

Regarding my changes:

• Iron Thunder was alright. It did let me stop a King's Sarc from resolving and an Evenly, which Strike could not have done, however, I did not see it enough to determine how good it is. Even when I did see it, I never got the extra destruction with it.
• Ogre was great when I saw her. She hits everything from King's Sarc to the Centur-Ion field (if they don't have any monsters out) to even Cenur-Ion as backrow. It also lets you play past blue dog going second.
• TT was solid against Yubel and didn't feel horrible. You just have to watch out for Tear and make sure you save it for after your opponent has trigged all of their Fire King/Snake-Eye cards to clear them as well.
• TY-PHON was alright. I did miss Cularia at some points, however, TY-PHON can potentially get you to make a comeback (albeit, not the most often). I almost won a game against Unchained going second after they left a monster on my field.. but I misplayed and used something when TY-PHON would have prevented my opponent's monster's in-hand effect anyways.

Shoutout to fear (Traptrix helper) for getting me swap out Nib/to try out TT/Iron Thunder.

This time around, I don't think I really used the Zoo package, so if you want, you can swap them out for something else. I would just recommend adding them back in if you run into a bunch of Horus decks that end just on the Horus monsters.

I also did not use Aussa all that often. Maybe it would be worthwhile to keep Cularia in over Aussa.. but Aussa lets you push for game easier if your opponent has Maxx C/Fenrir in the gy.
