Notes & Combos

Back from the depths of DotA Ranked **** (6.5k MMR). More than a year of not playing Master Duel. Watching Dkayed again brought me back into playing again.

A mix of handtraps and raigeki variant for kewl tune matchup. I would have wanted to play 3 copies of droplet instead of imperm but still lacks consistency. I will add and test them when the 3 support cards (Karmael, Sayori, Betrayal) comes out. VSK9 is still an unfavorable matchup going second but raigeki does help.

I opt out playing stella and chose to play more aratama because of bricking. Adding another 1-of that you don't want drawing alone just for pax target isn't worth it YET. I will play a copy for sure when support drops. Hopefully it is included in the upcoming pack.

I have max copies retaliating roach as it is so good with the current meta especially against kewl tune if they don't play around it. It is also a level 4 so that's a plus. I might reduce it to 2 copies on my next list with the new support because of tight deck space.

I only run 1 of each archetype trap because I want to be able to play the game at turn 2 and this will be definitely the way when the new support comes out as Karmael can recycle anyway.

Shifter best handtrap.

Might chase top rank in rating duels once support comes out.
