Notes & Combos
Notable Changes From Season 45
Only made it to M5 during Season 46 but there's a few changes since then. See below for previous build:

I'm still testing A.I. Connect, I think this card is strong! Also I go through some explanation in the video below for the non-engine. It's long.

For a short summary, I made a call for Maliss & Orcust which is why I decided on Lanceas. I wasn't happy with Fuwalos vs Mitsurugi and Maliss since you definitely needed more than 1 starter to push through, and often non-engine like Droll or Impulse preventing your Backup push sealed the game. I could probably play more Belle & Nibiru as well as Baldrake.
Now for the changes:
-
Live Twins. I was originally playing Armored Bitron but realized in combination with Backup you could not beat Ash. I believe these cards should act as pushes and having 1 handtrap stop 2 pushes is not acceptable. Live Twins are the next best DARK targets that encourage your opponent to handtrap so that Backup properly punishes it.
-
Achichi. Now that a copy of Called By is gone, I wanted to play Small World as a way to replace it. Small World can search Ash while doubling as engine. Achichi is a FIRE that bridges with most of the cyberse cards for Ash. I noticed that this also makes the desperation play of A.I. Connect shuffling a non-DARK since this adds Backup and gives you an additional body for Backup to SS. Normal Summon Backup is very weak and should be avoided. So I'm glad there's some improvement in this area!
Matchup Breakdown in Total (217 Duels; 99 Heads, 118 Tails)
Due to Tenpai's influence: 102 1st, 115 2nd
- 29 Maliss (13.4%, W/R = 51%)
- 21 Blue-Eyes (9.7%, W/R = 43%)
- 19 Orcust (8.8%, W/R = 52%)
- 18 Ryzeal (8.3%, W/R = 44%)
Honorable Mentions: 15 White Forest, 13 Tearlaments, 12 Sky Striker, 11 Lunalight, 10 Mitsurugi, 9 Labrynth, 8 Tenpai
Lancea felt pretty valid since it had applications vs Maliss, Orcust, and Lunalight. I accepted having no real non-engine vs Ryzeal outside of Droll. This meta is a lot more varied than last formats! Some interesting things to note are that Gem-Knight was not as represented (only 3) despite being well positioned in this format. Additionally the 15 White Forest were observed after the new support, so Droll got some mileage on top of Mitsu.
