Notes & Combos

Lacrima is finally here! But is it that good?

I think it's good, but I don't it's the best version of ThunDra, i think it's one step behind the list with no extra engines. The main trade you get is extending through disruption for losing more to Fuwalos/Maxx c as you will have hands with more engine that you can't convert into advantage also while your Hawk's mulligans are less likely to find non-engine.

Now about the list, I've played Paradise and Desirae for part of the climb and they are good when you get to play but it's also a decent option when you get hit with Maxx c or Fuwalos and have access to Lacrima through drawing the engine (Engraver/Tract/Lacrima) as you can just normal summon her and have a good disruption. I decided to cut it to minimize the amount of Engine as it's also another brick.

This list has 3x Ogre, but I also tried Imperm, Veiler and Nibiru in those slots, none felt like it was ideal, so play which ever works best vs the decks you see the most. I also tried as 40c without those and that felt not good, as you endup increasing your odds of not opening non-engine or finding those with Hawk's effect.

Next season I'll climb diamond with Branded engine and I'll play whatever is strongest in the format as it's a busy month, we have world's qualifiers, so there's a lot of grind to do.

In the playlist of Season 41 the Master climb started at Part 06, but Fiendsmith gameplay started in part 7.
