Notes & Combos
I really enjoy the new branded cards but wanted a more hand trap centric build so I tried climbing with "Dogmatika". Ritual Dogmatika is awful in this meta with fydraulis and branded everywhere you can't play that right now.
This deck plays as a lower ceiling branded. It barely fuses on your turn going first, but you do into cartesia synchro if possible to give you flexibility. The high handtraps count is to help you going 2nd keeping it a low to the ground game where these cards thrive. Additionally, going first the handtraps heavily help your boards if/when facing handtraps from your opponent. Fydraulis is the best HT in the format right now and the fact that this deck barely cared about its lock as it uses the fusions more as a removal tool with albaz + it can be an engine piece sending Lulu to summon out ecclessia(s) or cartesia.
I won many games going first very weak looking boards but probably still bad 4+ disruptions. If you like the branded cards but don't want to wombo-combo give this deck a shot, it's quite strong.
Ps: cut the thrust, I should have awhile ago and was running punishment (with lightning) for awhile, but without a trap to use with it thrust is bad.
