Notes & Combos

Took 40ish games from D5 to M1, 14 of which were in D1. How you play depends on the hand. Going first, I prefer to avoid going over 4 summons if I can secure all attributes + Snow Devil. Also, I always try to link into rock with non-dark to play around bystials. Goal is to survive to turn 3, as VS can play into boards well with non-engine bodies. Going second, I tend to save handtraps for my turn as attributes if I only open 1 (unless it's a popular chokepoint). Probably costed me some games, but 1 handtrap won't stop most decks anyways. Imperm didn't feel very strong at stopping most decks going second, so I used it mostly on my turn to trade with disruption.

The game plan is to outresource the opponent or go aggro and burn them for game before they can follow-up with a board you can't beat.

The deck is fun when it works but frustrating to play. Around 20% of the time your position is weaker going first than going second. The VS engine doesn't play well into non-target disruptions that remove your monsters from the board, so I prioritized trading with those using non-engine.
