Notes & Combos

Reached Master 1 13/3/2026

as promised, better showcase of the combos and ending on a strong endboard.

Switching from Red Reboot to Tactics was definitely the move, it helped me unbrick my hand or break the opponents board going second

The K9 Package is really good going first, even under droll, instead of summoning Ripper, I use the package to summon verte, and it bait out so much. going second is whatever, it works but it loses to every handtrap, on paper I'm trading one for one, sometimes it helps a bit, and sometimes it doesn't, it's not something you can shotgun every game, it's better to wait in some games to guarantee it doesn't die to something like Murakumo's special summon effect, which I played into that every time without resolving Ripper's effect lol, and at some point I was able to negate something using Ripper, but not a lot of games I was able pull that off.

Like for an example vs. Draco tail, I waited for my opponent to finish his combo, and then summoned ripper before his end phase and summoned it in defense, and was able to stop his Faimena on my turn. Good handtrap overall, it's decent, but you can play something else if you want, I just had the space in my deck, so I figured why not try it out and protect my combo.

as for the engine ratios, I'm really comfortable with them, didn't need to change anything, this deck can play under Fuwalos, bunch of times where I couldn't stop it, but managed to make a board the opponent couldn't break, most of the time it's all thanks to Timmy, who would've thought that DM all this time was the weak link, he was holding Timmy back.

as for purulia I don't think there was a time where I played under it optimally, all my $hit at the start of the combo summons from the hand so it was hard for me to play around it without giving my opponent 3 draws.

Droll is what kills me, I hate it as much as Maxx "c", these 2 need to go away, you can play under droll, but it depends on the hand, and not every game you can have that luxury, this is the deck's main weakness IMO

my 3rd time getting DM to Master 5, and it's My second one getting it to Master 1, the new support made this archetype really shine, DM BEST DECK
