Notes & Combos

I made it to M1 for the first time since Tenpai Meta!

60 cards with minimal non-engine/HTs definitely feels like the best way to go. I basically guaranteed won every duel that went past a turn 2, which is kinda the point of this deck.

Notes On the Card Choices:

Phara: An incredible card, when opened with High Spirits/Grass/BraFu/Sloth. It's special summon effect into steal came up a few times as well and it's just a card that forces interaction. I think in 60, it's worth playing 3 copies.

No Despia Extra Deck Target: After extensive testing from Diamond 5 to Master 1, I think it's honestly not necessary in this build. Just having the second Quem to summon off of Granguignol is probably the best target. Again, Quem forces interaction and is more active than summoning a Quaeritis or Proskenion. I will also note, there was 1 duel where I kinda wished I had a Despia ED target for Super Poly, because my Aluber got negated and I had no other plays. My hand was all non-engine, and I was likely losing that duel anyways - even if I had the ED Target for Super Poly.

Havnis: Really cool, because if you send it for Fusion Lubellion off of BraFu (or via Grass) you can make 2 Fusion summons on the same chain and this often allows you to play around a Bystial on your Albaz (something that could normally stop your typical fusing chain).

Chaos Nepthys: Mainly used as a Grass target, but it literally won me my rankup game by baiting an Ash on my Mercourier banish search, which allowed Granguignol to summon Quem, send Albaz, summon Albaz, fuse with opponent. It can be really useful and in 60, I say it's worth playing as a one-of.

Sanctifire vs 2nd Copy of Granguignol: Honestly, it did not come up super often and for much of the climb it was a 2nd copy of Granguignol. Either option is playable, but I found that in the mirror-match or vs Dracotail specifically, it completely owned (by taking their Secreterion Dragon). I also will note that the 2nd copy of Granguignol didn't come up much at all either. In the scenarios where I would've wanted it, I was able to send an Ecclesia Synchro and recycle it, so I could summon it anyways.
